The Coffin Club by Ellen Schreiber is one of my sweet obsessions in the YA genre.

Vampire Kisses was one of those series I binged read on a school trip. They were all adorable, they were sweet and it was everything I needed at the time. Going back to them, they are for sure my guilty pleasure. Happy endings, cute drama, adorable romance - everything I need in a guilty pleasure during rough times!

These reads are fast, and somewhat mindless. There's no crazy Dan Brown plot lines or Inception like mysteries to be solved. It's a YA novel with vampires and ooey gooey romance and drama. It's everything that it's designed to be - the perfect guilty pleasure package.

This isn't the best in the series - this book is definitely one of the "filler" books that give you required information and new characters that will be extremely important as the series goes on. There is still crazy teen angst and drama to fill up the pages, but it doesn't rival the first four, or the next novel in the series. That being said, it's still great in my eyes. Not every book will be a home run, or else technically none of them would be.

Raven and Alexander are a cute couple - and Raven will do anything to get Alexander back (since he's missing, of course). With a supporting cast like Jameson, Jagger, Phoenix and Onyx in this book, I definitely recommend it. It's funny and sweet!

Overall - I love this series. If you want a sweet, easy read that is YA based and full of the vampire craze this book is for you!! Five out of five stars! ( )

2.5 stars ( )

In this Vampire Kisses book Raven goes to visit her aunt in Hipsterville so she can find Alexander, who has yet to return from his trip to return Valentine to his siblings from the end of the previous book. Raven is still her smart sassy self, although she takes more foolish risks in this book than in the previous works. The ending is a little confusing and more unrealistic then ever. It implies that Phoenix is Alexander, which would mean that Alexander was completely aware that Raven was lying to him about her involvement at the Coffin Club the entire time and not only didn't get mad, but didn't react to it at all...that's a little bit strange. But I still love Raven and will probably keep reading the series. ( )
