I can't wate to read this book

Impulsive Raven may have to be the mediating force when her vampire boyfriend's immortal best friend visits--and falls for her mortal best friend. Can she keep her best friend Becky from being bitten when it is the one thing Raven longs for the most? Love Bites is the seventh book in the Vampire Kisses series but reads easily as a stand alone book though the ending leaves you wanting the next installment. Goth girl Raven and her handsome vampire boyfriend Alexander play to many teen vampire romance cliches and yet this story remains a quick enjoyable read. Love Bites may not be the most original vampire series on the block but if you are looking for a young adult paranormal romance with a simple storyline and easy to identify characters then you'll enjoy Vampire Kisses.I recommend Love Bites to readers of paranormal romance, young adult, vampire fiction, and especially to fans of the Vampire Kisses series.** This review originally posted on my blog: www.FromTheShadows.info **

Again, like the last book, I feel like the writing has continuously improved. I feel it's because Raven and Alexander's age is somewhat mentioned, along with both being kinda pressured by others on turning Raven into a vampire. This book we're introduced to Sebastian, whom is Alexander's best friend from Romania and is also a vampire. I actually liked the contrast in personalities between these two. And just like Alexander, Sebastian wants to be able to find love and both his friend and Raven want to help him find it. I'd also like to add that Alexander Sterling is in the ride or die category of fictional boyfriends. He's always looking out for Raven and protecting her, even when it comes to his impulses as a vampire and we, the audience, get to see more of his struggle dating a mortal.

Final Verdict First:If I had to pick one YA paranormal romance series as my all-time favorite, it would probably be Vampire Kisses. Each book is gut-busting-ly funny, narrated by a heroine that is MADE OF AWESOME, with a vampire love interest that is the epitome of sexy WITHOUT BEING A CHEESY EMO STALKER. I am telling you, if you are a fan of paranormal romance and want an alternative to the typical PNR story line, then YOU MUST READ Vampire Kisses.Love Bites is just as funny, adorable, and page-flipping as it’s predecessors. Love it!The Full Review:If I was fifteen and could travel to the world in a book, I’d want to hit up Dullsville in Vampire Kisses and be best friends with Raven, Alexander, and Becky. I’d want to make fun of Trevor with Raven (the hottest, most popular guy in school and Raven’s nemesis), hang out at the mansion after sunset under the watchful eye of Creepy Man, and join the gang at Hatsy’s for hamburgers and shakes.I’ve never been the morbid Goth type. Cemeteries, ripped dresses and black lipstick, or anything remotely scary is not my thing. But in Vampire Kisses, all that is stereotypically associated with paranormal romance and gothic culture is turned on its head. VK, though, is not a parody. Unlike some funny paranormal romance books that poke fun at the genre, Vampire Kisses has fun with the genre.Who says vampires have to be brooding hundred+ year olds who prey on the blood and hearts of young, impressionable, weak girls? Alexander is as chivalrous as they come (he always takes Raven on the most swoon-worthy dates!), and Raven, although a hopeless romantic, is also smart and tough. Raven is the only Goth in Dullsville and therefore an outsider, but she is quite okay with being different. She doesn’t wallow in self-pity, nor does she deal with her less-than-stellar social standing by lashing out and being super angsty or aggressive. She will stand up for herself (she has the funniest comebacks when Trevor or others try to make fun of her), but she is also as sweet as can be and incredibly loyal to those she loves.With Raven and Alexander, it was pretty much love at first sight. There wasn’t too much “should we be together, should we not” in their relationship. The problems they face emerge from new characters that are introduced in each book, the inherent differences between their separate lifestyles (mortal and vampiric), and the issue of Raven’s turning (it’s connections to virginity and sex, btw, are not lost on me).Each book in the Vampire Kisses series sees the introduction a new vampire character. The plot of each book is based on what happens when that character comes to Dullsville. Each new character has a distinct personality and causes their own kind of trouble. The trouble they cause may be intentional, or just a consequence of being a vampire. In Love Bites, the new character is Alexander’s best friend from Romania, Sebastian Camden. Sebastian has traveled the world looking for true love, but can’t seem to find it — until he visits Alexander in Dullsville, and is immediately captivated by a human girl. This is majorly problematic for a couple of reasons. First, the girl already has a boyfriend and doesn’t know vampires exist. Also, Sebastian is impulsive and doesn’t have nearly as strong of willpower around human blood as Alexander does. Uh oh.At the beginning of each VK book is a quote from the new character. It is always funny and a play on vampirism. In Love Bites, the love-sick Sebastian confesses: “I hope I find her soon, too, Raven. I’m starved to death.” Lol!There are a few other plot points in addition to Sebastian’s love problems that arise in Love Bites. Alexander worries about not fitting in with the rest of Dullsville, which he is afraid might lead someone to discovering his secret. Raven has to contend with keeping Sebastian’s true identity a secret from the human girl he likes. She also has to juggle being a good friend to Becky with keeping her best friend safe from the vampires that visit Dullsville. There’s also maintaining the safety of the humans at a vampire party that Trevor and the whole school unwittingly crash. (Btw, Trevor doesn’t get as much time in Love Bites as other VK books, but his interactions with Raven are as hilarious as always.) Then, of course, there’s the constant issue of turning Raven into a vampire — which she wants more than ever.Love Bites delivers what I expect from a Vampire Kisses novel: hilarity, campy plotting and characterization, sweet romance, mystery, and adventure. I heart this series like you can’t even believe. Thank you, Ellen!!You can read more of my reviews at www.rebloco.com

This seventh installment of Ellen Schreiber's Vampire Kisses was great. Some series' have a tendency to go off on weird tangents or lose their steam but Schreiber continues to craft a great story. Alexander's best friend Sebastian arrives to stay a few days with Alexander. Raven didn't even know he had a best friend since Alexander talks so little about himself. She sees this as an opportunity to learn more about her boyfriend but things go array when Sebastian falls in love with Raven's best friend Becky. Becky has a boyfriend and doesn't know that Raven is dating a vampire. Things can go horribly wrong if Raven doesn't do something cleaver. The thing I love about Raven is she is so true to herself. She refuses to compromise her values and she is loyal to a fault. She is honestly torn between wanting to protect Becky and to protect Alexander. She really likes Sebastian and he can't help who he is. Another beautiful part of this story is Raven's desire to become a vampire and Alexander's reluctance to change her. Raven learns more about why he doesn't want to make her a vampire and begins to understand the consequences of that choice (for her). There is some backstory that comes into play with this book but not enough that if one picked this volume up first that they wouldn't be able to follow the story. There's still a ton of character growth between Raven and Alexander. I love this series and really think it's the best of it's kind. The stories are not so filled with drama that they become bogged down and Schreiber's writing is light and enjoyable. This is a real teen with an unusual situation but there's so much more. I like the lack of love triangles, even though Schreiber has toyed with them Raven has remained completely faithful to Alexander. They have real world problems (some with supernatural twists but pretty believable). This series is more geared towards girls but I think there's enough action and "manliness" that a young man would enjoy them. The characters are in high school and approaching 18 fast but the writing is simple enough for a younger reader. The books are short, especially compared to similar series. (There's even a manga series based on these books that my son is devouring).

One of my all-time and original Vampire/Mortal love stories and series happens to be the Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schrieber. Before Twilight, the re-ignition of Vampire Diaries , True Blood became a TV Show and Vampire Academy, there once lived a series called Vampire Kisses , it was all about this Vampire named Alexander Stirling who had moved into a mansion in Dullsville and fell in love with a Gothic like mortal girl named Raven. Raven has had to keep the secret of Vampire's existence from her friends and family , she has met other Vampires and found herself in the middle of Vampire business and feuding vampire boys. In Book#7 Love Bites , Raven and Alexander finally have the mansion to themselves minus the company of Jameson the butler. However, things in Dullsville never quite go to plan as Alexander's childhood friend Sebastian arrives and falls hopelessly in love with Raven's friend Becca who has no idea Vampires exist and also she has a boyfriend Matt. When Sebastian starts to leave goodies in Becca's locker, they come up with the story that they were for Raven but of course this gets back to Alexander quicker than usual via the annoying and irritating Trevor who wants nothing but to have Raven all to himself, he lives by the philosophy that if he can't have her no-one can . So when Raven decides to hold a party for Sebastian and her Coffin Club Vampire friends Onyx and Scarlet, she hopes to get his mind off Becca but things get a bit out of hand when Vampires Jagger and his twin Luna appear. Though of course, the sexy Luna may be Sebastian's type. Find out in Love Bites Book #7 Vampire Kisses Series and stay tuned for Book#8 Cryptic Cravings to hear more adventures of Alexander and Raven.

I'm still loving Schreiber's series, even at seven. Here's why: they're short and easy to get through, usually within an hour or two, they're minimalistic, each with one driving issue to be resolved by the end yet enough excitement to lead to the next book, Alexander and Raven's romance is too cute, especially since she is so smitten and punk vampire. The cheese does not go over my head, I know it is, but it's just so darn cute. In Love Bites, Alexander's best friend, Sebastian arrives. Never having known that Alexander had a best friend, Raven is eager to befriend him and learn about Alexander's closed-off past. Yet, when Sebastian falls head over heels for Becky, Raven's best friend, quick action must be made to find him a suitable (read: vampire) girlfriend instead of a mortal one. Can't wait for number eight!

So here goes the 7th book in the series! Wee! Introducing a new sexy vampire, Sebastian! Sebastian is Alexander's bestfriend.. Oh how I envy Raven for being with two sexy vamps... I pity Sebastian since I can feel that his feelings were real; and that tiny blood incident with Becky? I guess he just can't control himself yet, and that he really doesn't want it to happen. I'm hoping for another love triangle in the story including Sebastian, Becky and Matt! But I know it might spoil the series because it should only be Raven having a love affair with a vampire. But sometimes, I don't know if I'm team Alexander or Team Trevor.. I like bad guys in series, but this time, the bad guy is a mortal so I'd still be more of team Alex! Hihi. Looking forward for the next two books! :>

ok i loved this book it was sort of the same as all the rest he Alexander doest not make her into a vampire his best friend Sebastian comes and falls in love with Becky Alexander and raven introduce him to onyx and scarlet at a party were Luna and Jagger come to Jagger wants to use Sebastian to make a coffin club in dullsville and Sebastian bites Luna in the neck and supposedly he falls in love with her.

** spoiler alert ** I love this book Raven & Alexander are a great couple! In this book Alexander's parents come to town & Raven's not sure if they will like her. You know normal girl meets guys parents for first time stuff. And there parent meet eachother too. Raven still wants Alexander to bite her of she thinks she does. He still isn't sure if his live is the best life for her even if he want her forever. If you have been reading this series then you will love this book too. Can't wait for book 8.

I LOVE this series. It is like Twilight, but it's not. It has Vampires like in Twilight, but they are portrayed very differently. In this series they can not go out in sunlight, and they die from garlic. There are things that are the same in both like that they both have to survive on blood.
