  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; A new guy in town. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Rumors of vampires. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Dangerous first love. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; This is where it all begins. . . . &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood empty for years. But one day it seems to be occupied, and its mysterious, handsome inhabitant Alexander Sterling becomes the source of much talk around town. Raven, a vampire-obsessed Goth-girl who has always considered herself an outsider in &quot;Dullsville,&quot; is determined to uncover the truth surrounding the secretive Alexander. As she gets to know him, and their spark intensifies, Raven finds herself in some unanticipated situations. Can Alexander make her lifelong dream come true? But love always has its complications&#8212;especially when it can only be awakened at nightfall. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The first three books in Ellen Schreiber's bestselling Vampire Kisses series capture the thrill of a most unusual romance. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was almost tempted to put this book down. The begining was slow and not what i would normally read when going for a Vamp book. It got better as a read and the ending was good. I will definately give the next book a chance. It was a light easy read for me. and a great way to pass the time]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a great teen read (YA). I loved the story line and the innocence of Raven's &quot;trials and tribulations.&quot; The notion that she has always been the outcast and different has made her feel alone until she meets Alexander and finds that he feels just as outcast and alone from the vampire...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74707438">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If I were a little bit younger, I might have really liked this collection of the first three books in the Vampire Kisses series.  The first book  is cute and funny and I liked it .  The second two, Kissing Coffins and Vampireville were just too predictable and silly.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was good.  I'm not sure of the genre but it was more drama than horror or mystery.  Very good otherwise.  It refered more to the Western European legend but still good.  It is about a 'Goth girl', Raven who is vampire obbsessed.  Because of this they don't speand a lot of time explaining things w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76804178">more...</a>]]></body>
