I actually thought DANCE WITH A VAMPIRE, book four of the VAMPIRE KISSES series, was going to be the last one. So I was overjoyed to find out that the story of Raven and Alexander continues in THE COFFIN CLUB.

It is now summer vacation and Raven is missing Alexander. At the end of the last book, Alexander and his caretaker, Jameson, left Dullsville for Hipsterville to return the young Valentine to his family, leaving Raven all alone. Now that school is out, Raven has decided to visit her cool Aunt Libby in Hipsterville. From her aunt, she learns that the creepy mansion in town is being rented. Immediately, Raven investigates and finds her beloved and Jameson camped out in the place.

After a sweet reconciliation, Alexander rushes her out of the place to go on another mission. Raven is left wandering the town waiting for her aunt to finish up one of her classes. She ventures back to The Coffin Club (the infamous place where she first encountered the evil Jagger, Valentine's older brother) and stumbles upon the Dungeon. The Dungeon is the coolest place below the main club. It is also members only. It takes Raven a while to figure out that the "members only" part means vampires. REAL vampires. And there she meets the hypnotic Phoenix. Phoenix may just have some secrets of his own. And Raven stumbles upon Jagger yet again.

As the story develops, Raven gets caught up in the world of vampires and realizes that she does truly fit in with the vampire crowd. She meets two cool gals, Onyx and Sapphire, who befriend her. They accept her for who she is. And she finds out that most vampires just want to be who they are and lead as normal a life as possible.

There is trouble brewing at the Dungeon between Jagger and Phoenix, and the vampire world in Hipsterville may forever be changed. Caught between the mortal and immortal world, Raven again struggles with who she should be. Does she give everything up to be with Alexander for eternity, or should she remain mortal and see how things progress?

Ms. Schreiber keeps the reader coming back for more romance and adventure between Raven and Alexander. They are an unlikely romantic couple who enchants all. The story is light, with mostly action and little depth, but it is truly entertaining and fun. The story leaves the reader waiting for more once again.

I have been a long-time fan of the Vampire Kisses series, and there's not better words to describe how realistic and romantic it is.
I was particularly interested in the 5th book in the series; there was suspense on every page. I couldn't turn them fast enough to see what happens next! Raven's adventures are absolutely addicting!

Raven goes to a club that is for Goths. She finds out not only is it a club for Goths but also for Vamps. Of course Alexander doesn't want her to go with out him but when does Raven do anything anyone ask her to.

I'd be the first to admit that I have a soft spot for this series: the characterization can be a little silly, but it's endearingly silly. Raven might be a little ditzy and clueless about what vampires are really like, but fortunately, the vampires in her world aren't *too* dangerous. Though, as she finds out when she follows Alexander, her vampire sweetheart, to "Hipsterville", she ventures deeper into the secret recesses of the town's Goth club, she finds that there's more going on among Alexander's kindred than she first assumed...

I'm a little dismayed that the self-awareness and self-questioning that Raven had started to display at the end of Book 4 didn't carry over into this volume, but since our girl is discovering more about Alexander's world and how it works, there probably wasn't much time for introspection.

Unlike the Twilight series these books still lack something I just don't feel anything reading them and isn't that the main purpose of reading ? Well maybe others like it but it's not for me !

There's a hot new underground club in town...but membership lasts an eternity.

It's summer break, and Raven knows she should stay put in Dullsville until her immortal love returns. But when she decides to go after Alexander, she can't resist a visit to her favorite Goth-spot, The Coffin Club. Sneaking inside, Raven is shocked to discover a secret door that leads to the entrance of another hidden club. There's something peculiar about this cryptic hangout--and it's too enticing for Raven to resist. Soon a dangerous battle for the club's rule erupts between Alexander's old nemesis and a mysterious new guy. Can Raven avoid the clash before her curiosity lands her in serious trouble?

This book was not only bargain priced, it was in perfect condition when it arrived!! I will DEFINITELY be ordering more books from this source!!

OMG! this book is perfect... I really lovet it... if you like a "surprise!" at the end of a book so this is the one... enjoy it =)

I LOVE Vampire Kisses! at first i thought that this was the last book in the series but was extremly happy to find out that there were going to be more. The Coffin Club sounds like a cool place to go but the underground club sounds even better! I knew something was up with Phoenix when he first showed up and was happy to see that he was actualy Alexander. this series is obvisouly WAY better than the twilight series.

Vampire Kisses has to be my favorite vampire teen love novel of all time! I'm kinda happy they havent made a movie out of this, due to it might end up like "Twilight" and become WAY too over-populated. I do wish the books were thicker, but i think Ellen puts just the right amount of detail, plot, and characters in each series. Long live VK!
The boys in this story will def. get your blood flowing and your heart pumping.
