Vampire Kisses Series by Ellen Schreiber - Reading 'The Coffin Club (Vampire Kisses #5)' from April 3rd 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

In her small town, dubbed "Dullsville," sixteen-year-old Raven — a vampire-crazed goth-girl — is an outcast. But not for long...

The intriguing and rumored-to-be haunted mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood vacant and boarded-up for years. That is, until its mysteriously strange new occupants move in. Who are these creepy people — especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town prattle actually ring true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander's loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth.

Ellen Schreiber's spooky and stirring romance tells the story of two outsiders who fall in love in a town where conformity reigns, and ends with a shocking surprise.

Chap 1

(view spoiler)[ Wanting to be a vampire in kindergarten? Wow! (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 5

(view spoiler)[ is it bad that I laughed at the trick that was pulled on Trevor? Lol (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 15

(view spoiler)[ Raven is a little too anxious for my taste. She is basically forcing herself on him. I get she is attracted to vampires and wants to be one but jeez.. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ I didn't really like that ending.. I think it hurt the book. I get leaving it as a mystery but it felt almost rushed (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Up to chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ I'm not really crazy about Raven's character so far, she seems so immature. I get the whole vampire obsession thing, but she just seems like too much. Also, I'm kind of bothered there hasn't been a physically description of her yet. I need to get details so I can see them in my mind. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 5

(view spoiler)[ Alright, so Raven is actually kind of funny. I really did think she was going to give in to Trevor but Raven is someone that is okay with being different and even made fun of. She's very interesting but I'm ready for this mysterious figure in the road to appear. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Up to chapter 12

(view spoiler)[
I wonder how many exclamation marks are in this book, they seem excessive...

For an incredibly short book this plot sure is slow. I'm not sure what the purpose of Raven getting a job was, it just seemed like a waste of two paragraphs (ha). (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[
What did I just read!? I didn't like any of the characters, maybe Alexander but I just don't like the secrecy. Raven was just too immature and overly eager about the whole vampire thing. (hide spoiler)]

Reading

[Ariel]

Chapter 1

Well, I can tell the writing style has improved durastically since the last book. I also didn't see as many exclamation points! Though, I counted at least four...

[Ariel]

Up to chapter 5

(view spoiler)[
UGHHHHH, already the plot is throwing me off. So, Raven needs to go to visit her aunt because Jameson made a call from a club there? That's like the craziest thing I've ever heard. She's basically stalking, or trying to stalk Alexander. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Up to chapter 12

(view spoiler)[ Why did she even go see her Aunt? She was there for two days and the entire thing just seemed like a waste of plot. I can't get into the language, or the "hot" guys that Raven is describing. Everytime she refers to herself as a goth or Alexander as her "goth man/goth mate" I want to scream. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Up to chapter 16

(view spoiler)[

Okay, things are getting semi interesting. I find it strange that one can literally be born a vampire. I have a lot of questions... I also think Jagger is annoying and why is Trevor even mentioned!? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 17

(view spoiler)[
Yup, saw that coming. Both Jagger and Trevor are too annoying not to stay away from each other... (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished

(view spoiler)[

Well, it ended just as I thought it would... with nothing really happening. I don't understand why Raven was bit... but she's still not a vampire? This book always leaves me confused. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 1 (view spoiler)[ I don't know how much I'm going to like this book. I get it that she wants to find him. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Chap 5 (view spoiler)[ Jagger is creepy!! I don't know what to think of him. (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Ch 12: (view spoiler)[ Well Alexander came back but Raven let Jagger to him.. wonder what is going on between the two. Jagger was so close to marrying Raven. He sounded so creepy! (hide spoiler)]

[❤ Aly ❤]

Finished (view spoiler)[I don't know how I feel about Luna. Is she going to do something to Trevor? Well I guess I'll read the next one.. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Starting Vampireville :)

[Ariel]

Up to Chapter 4

(view spoiler)[ I think I like the Twilight version of vampires better. The whole idea of them having to find a coffin is killing me. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 6

(view spoiler)[
Wait... couldn't she have just thrown open the coffins because it was the middle of the daytime!? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[ I don't get the idea of moving the coffins. I understand that they are trying to force them into the daylight BUT couldn't they just hide in a dark place? A closet? A place with no windows? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Oh my god, can someone just turn this girl into a vampire already and shut her up!? The writing wasn't as annoying as the others, I'm at least seeing some progression there. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Starting Dance with a Vampire!

[Ariel]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Raven is so rude to her parents! It drives me nuts. They have done nothing but try and accept her for who she is and so always gives them so much attitude! (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 7

(view spoiler)[ I just cannot get into this goth fashion. The prom dress shopping was painful, aghhhhh. But I do like that Raven sticks up for herself with the "prep" girl. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ I can't help but feel Raven is kind of a fake at this point. She's been nothing but obsessed with vampires and she has begged Alexander to turn her and now she's being a baby!? I can't with her. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[ I really can't stand Becky. It's like nothing outside of Matt exists and it's unhealthy.

What nail salon doesn't carry black nail polish!? Mhm honey, now they are just lying! It's so unrealistic! (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

My Buddy told me she'd continue with this series but didn't show up... :(

It's okay

Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[ lol could this get anymore predictable!? Duh the Aunt is dating a vampire! (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[
Hm, so Devon isn't a vampire. Color me impressed! That moment with Scarlet was a little weird... (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[
This one had to be the worst one yet.... literally nothing happens in it. Who cares about some stupid club? & can this girl please just turn into a vampire already!? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ Nice to see Trevor back in his typical 5-year-old mood... Finally, new characters are coming (the parents) (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[
Yeah, that dinner wasn't awkward at all. I wonder if the parents will be in favor of turning her... (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 19
(view spoiler)[
So, Alexander and his family are moving... I doubt that's actually going to happen. (hide spoiler)]
