Publisher Comments:

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.

Ellen Schreiber's spooky and stirring romance tells the story of two outsiders who fall in love in a town where conformity reigns, and ends with a shocking surprise.

Review:

"'Readers don't have to share goth girl Raven's passion for vampire lore to appreciate her misadventures in Dullsville,' according to PW. 'The girl's ill-fated flirtation will bring more laughs than heartache.' Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Raven tries to shield her younger brother from the menacing Valentine Maxwell, even as she yearns to attend the prom with her immortal love, Alexander.

Synopsis:

The mansion on top of Benson Hill has been empty and boarded up for years. But a new family has moved in. A family that never ventures out during the day. Who are these creepy people — especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town gossip actually be 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.

Ages 12+

 

 

Synopsis:

Also one of my favorite vampire books ever! Alexander is my dream guy! Georgous, goth, sweet, and awesome! I wish I could find a hot gothic vampire guy to fall in love with.....*sigh* ........Raven is cool too. Her uniqueness and dont-care-what-you-think attitude rocks!! They make such a cute couple!!
