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.
This was one of the first vampire books that I had ever read (way before Twilight) and I instantly fell in love with the thought of vampires and romance. If only my high school life had gone this way. Sigh. Anyway, this book is good if you want to read about teenage romance. Not for the hardcore romancers but for the more soft at heart, mushy types. I personally thought it was a very good read but you will have to be the judge of that. Raven is one of my favorite characters, not only because she goth and the main character, but because she is spunky and does her own thing all the time. She never conforms to what people think she should be like, even though she ends up getting picked on all the time. Alexander is the most gorgeous goth guy I have ever heard of. Not only is he passionate and romantic, but hes an artist. What more could a girl want. Becky is my least favorite character in the book. It seems to me like she only sticks with Raven because shes the only one that accepts her and doesn't bully her. They have nothing in common and I fail to see how they could be friends for so long. Trevor is actually a favorite character of mine. Not only does he spice this up but I think he has a little something besides hate hidden up his sleeve for Raven.
Rating: 10/10
