Raven’s boyfriend is a very unusual young man. He is a vampire and even though they do all the things young people do their relationship is doomed. Now it may have to end quicker than she thought when a new dangerous vampire threatens her family.

We met Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, in the first book: Vampire Kisses. In this new book Raven and her “boyfriend” are trying to have as normal a relation as they can but their relationship is doomed. Now it may have to end quicker than she thought when a new dangerous vampire called Valentine, comes to town looking for revenge. Raven finds that she must confront this child vampire who appears to be very angry with her.

Valentine is searching for his other vampire siblings. He discovers that Raven had something to do with their disappearance and he uses his mind reading ability mind to uncovers some truth that are better left unsaid but he says them anyway.

Not as good as the first book which was highly entertaining. Raven’s morbid desire to become a vampire becomes very tiresome. And even though she is afraid of the truth it lacks conviction making it seems that she would much rather be a vampire.
