✦ Synopsis

For goth-girl Raven, dating her dream boyfriend is complicated, especially because Alexander's secret means that they can see each other only at night.

And now the pair must be extra wary in the dark with Alexander's archrival, Jagger, appearing around town. As if Jagger isn't enough cause for worry, Luna, his strikingly pale sister, has also surfaced and seems to have her sights set on Raven's longtime nemesis, Trevor. Together, Raven and Alexander must begin a terrifying search for Jagger and Luna's hideout to drive them away -- that is, if it's not already too late to save Dullsville from becoming Vampireville.

In the latest installment of her popular Vampire Kisses books, Ellen Schreiber continues the startling story of two teen outsiders -- she from the mortal world and he from the Underworld -- who share a thrilling, extraordinary romance.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up–In this third book in the series, 16-year-old Goth girl Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, attempt to save Dullsville from an invasion of the undead. Jagger and Luna, evil teen vampire twins new in town, are trying to get their fangs into Trevor, soccer star and Raven's nemesis since kindergarten. Making things even more difficult for Raven is the fact that she and her boyfriend run on different schedules; she can only see him at night, due to his aversion to daylight. The book culminates with a party at the cemetery, during which Jagger and Luna hope to trap Trevor and make him one of their kind. The action begins where the second installment ended and no effort is made to bring readers up to speed, leaving those unfamiliar with the first two titles in the dark. Although the series is a fun, fast read for vampire fans, it pales in comparison to other titles currently available in the genre.–Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. In this third installment of the breezy Vampire Kisses series, Raven must protect mortal nemesis Trevor from the designs of newly turned Luna, while the complicated, chaste romance between Raven and gentle vampire Alexander continues to deepen. From Raven's Olivia Outcast clutch to her "Beetlejuice black-and-white striped tights," Schreiber overloads her main character with teen-goth calling cards that will date the series. What will continue to reel in readers are the sitcom-ready characters, setting, and tender outsiders-in-love theme. Jennifer Mattson
