I love the main character! Raven is so interesting to hear about. It isn't very often that the main character is gothic and relatable.
I have a thing for vampires so this book keeps me interested.

This book was okay, it wasn't anything to write home about. Nothing big really happened. And the on-going feud between Trevor and Raven is getting old, I mean she loves Alexander and it's clear Trevor has had a big ol' crush on her for a while... Other than that Raven is starting to annoy me, at first her antics and immaturity were refreshing, but now it's like okay... 16 year olds do NOT act like this.

It's prom time! And Raven wants to go with Alexander. At the same times, she also has to protect her little brother from Valentine, Jagger and Luna's little brother who has come looking for them.
Billy gets a bigger role in this book, and he seems like a fun character.
Valentine doesn't really act like a 12-year-old. How many tweens do you know that have ever utterred the words, "morbidly black sexy lace dress" (p. 92)? Okay, whatever that kid has been reading, he...more

"Dace with a Vampire" and the "Vampire Kisses" series is like another "Twlight". Human and vampire fall in love, but in this book they don't have any drama with the two lovebirds. Raven would be Bella in "Twilight", but instead of being the victim sghe is the heroine. Also she the total oppiste of Bella. Raven is Goth and her favorite color is black. Her ultimate wish is to be a vampire, which sshe wanted since she was born, and before she met her vampire ...more

Then suddenly shows up Valentine, Jasper and Luna's little brother. Raven and Alexander can;t figure out what is his purpose showing up. As Valentine gets close to Billy, Ra...more

I decided to review all eight of these books together, as I pretty much read them all back to back and I don't think I would be able to go back and review them all individually.
Firstly, this is a series that I had known about for a while, but wasn't really too sure what the books were about. Going from the titles it's obvious that they are about vampires, but apart from that I hadn't really looked into them too much. One day in December, bored I deci...more

Raven, a teen who has quite an obsession with vampires, finally got herself a vampire boyfriend. As a person who is interested in dark and vampire-like activities she is known as a outcast throughout her school and town. Although, i sort of disliked Raven's character i still liked how she showed herself through her own characteristics such as dark lipstick, makeup, nails and clothing. Raven is...more

I have loved this series since book one. I really like the character of Raven and how she is an outcast but in my eyes she is the popular one, she sticks out to me and is a very cool character. In this book Raven and Alexander get closer and there are a couple of times in the book when I think Alexander is going to turn Raven into a vampire finally, if he does or doesn't I won't say, I don't want to ruin the book. But the book does end with Alexander leaving again after they capture the new trou...more

Raven must try to shield Billy, even as the biggest excitement of the year approaches: attending prom with her immortal love, Alexander. And while Alexander is one kind of vampire—sweet—Raven soon learns Valentine is another.

I have been reading a lot of paranormal romances lately, and most of them I have enjoyed greatly. These I have liked, but mainly for the character of Raven and her family. The stories make me feel old. These are obviously written for teens or younger. Alexander is a very one dimensional. We only see him through Alexander's eyes and he is too perfect. I actually find Trevor a more interesting character.

actually, i haven't read the first three books but after reading this one, it made me realize not to read the other books anymore. it's so dull. raven, has a very unique character (which is good i think?!) but with Alexander, i don't know.. for me, he seems to be too weak for a vampire. there's nothing much exciting about the story. i thought there will be great battle to happen but it just ended..... too good?.. well, maybe i'm a little bias since i haven't read the other books but i don't know...more
This book is geared toward tweens, not even teens. The dialogue is pretty simple with no subtlety. The story is kind of interesting and the relationship between Raven and Alexander is a little deeper in this story. I feel bad giving it two stars because it probably is just right for the audience it is intended. I had read the first three books a few months ago and forgot why I didn't want to pursue the rest of them. In a few months, I will probably forget again or want something I can finis...more
I ask myself, what audience is this book being aimed at. I'm still test reading the series for the librarians at school who were keen to hear what they were like, and I feel so horrible having to say that I don't really like them at all. They're OK, that's the truth, but they are not brilliant. The premise of each book is simple - Human girl who wants to be a vampire meets a vampire boy and they fall in love. They are hunted by evil vampires who wish to make the girl one of them despite her love...more

This book is the 4th book of the series. I find this book kind of romantic because it is about about two lovers that live in 2 dimensional places, Raven live in the mortal world, and where her boyfriend, Alexander, live in a immortal world, which he is vampire. This book starts on what the third book left on, which when Raven brother, Billy, noticed this boy that was living in his friend, Henry tree house. Raven and Alexander knew right away it was Jasper and Luna youngest brother, Valentine,...more
I am so glad this series is getting better. I had my doubts after the first two. I have figure out two of my issues with this series though. First, I think some of the books could be combined. They function all right by themselves, but they are to connected (not to mention short). Second, I have no problem with Raven being Goth. But, for some reason it seems so cliché. I kind of just ignore that, but I do not feel it really adds to the story. This story I think was more fun. I liked se...more
