First in the Vampire Kisses manga books.

Readers familiar with Raven and Alexander from the Vampire Kisses series will most likely enjoy the manga version as well.

Goth-girl Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, find four fresh graves in Dullsville's local cemetery. Raven discovers that the gang is lead by Alexander's half-vampire cousin, Claude Sterling. Claude holds a grudge against Alexander and he's come to town to get his revenge.

A brand new adventure and some new characters mean that you don't have to read the main series first. I'm not a huge fan of manga, but this story translates well to the medium. The story is entertaining and the art is gorgeous. ( )

This Is a great book. This bookm is an awsome beginning of a series. It shows what happening and how it's going to happen. This is a very intersted a mind drawing book!!!! love it!!!

Not really that entertaining. It was cute but there was a bit lacking plot wise and it was almost too cute - in that annoying sense. ( )

The last thing Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, need is another glitch in their relationship. But problems arise when a new gang of vampires, lead by Alexander’s cousin, Claude, show up in town. Continuing the relationship of 16-year-old Raven, the only goth-girl in Dullsville, this graphic novel is well written, well drawn and very enjoyable. In typical Schreiber style, Raven is entertaining and comical, but with unexpected depth. This GN can be picked up without having read the non-graphic novels. I would recommend this GN to anyone who enjoys a good creature-of-the-night-relationship read. ( )

Ellen Schreiber has jumped into the realm of graphic novels. Her popular Vampire Kisses series has been picked up by Tokyo Pop and has transferred really well. Raven and Alexander continue their nighttime romance in their usual haunt, A.K.A the cemetery, and make the most of their time together. At the beginning of Blood Relatives they notice something strange while they are out on their date. Four empty graves are discovered and clues lead Alexander to believe that his cousin, Claude, has come to Dullsville. The only question is for what reason.Raven comes into dangerous contact with Claude and his three followers at school. Claude turns out to be a half vampire which allows him to go out in the daylight. Raven can't think of anything worse than them running free during the day when Alexander is stuck inside until the evening.It turns out Claude is after some blood vials that he thinks is inside the house Alexander is living in. He decides to use Raven in order to get what he wants. Blood Relatives ends with Claude telling Raven that she is going to help him get what he wants, even if it means betraying Alexander.My only complaint with Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives is that it is too short. It really leaves you hanging at the end. I'll be anxiously awaiting the next volume. ( )
