WEll this is the 6th book to the series! and i just keep loving it! In this book Raven meets Alexanders parents Constantine and Cassandra they like her and well who wouldn't!!! Also they want to see the MANSION!! which is totally crazy! and Well we know Trevor is in love with Raven but seriously you find out how much!! This is just another great book and i cant wait for the next one!!!

At first when I was reading it I thought maybe it was time to give up the series because it is just a little too young for me. I am 37 and I like young adult books but this one is very "pure". They kiss and that's all, ever. No talk about hormones or anything. I find that a little unrealistic (He's almost eighteen). Also, the vampire rules are never brought up like - 1. Alexander was born a vampire - will he continue to age and if so, to what. His parents are vamps but they are the age of her parent - will they stop ageing? 2. **spoiler** Raven ask him to bite her again and he said" It's not time". I wish he would explain. If I were Raven, I would be asking "are you sure you want me forever"? He claims he wants her forever but he doesn't want to sentence her existence to his but hey, the girl wants it more than a fat lady wants a burger, but again, it is never discussed about her growing old and dieing before him if he doesn't change her. The book is a little to goody goody.

I did start to enjoy the book as usual. It is a sweet book that I would want my thirteen year old to read, but for me, maybe it's time to say goodbye.

Also, I would also like to see a little bit of a love triangle with Alexander, Raven, and Trevor. I think it would be cute to see Alexander jealous.

Still - the book was a good read.

Raven and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander, have had the perfect summer. With fall comes the beginning of school and the ending of their nights together.

The arrival of Alexander's parents makes things worse. While they're seen all over town, Alexander waits to introduce Raven to his parents, making her feel both neglected and hurt.

However, once they meet, she adores his parents and they seem to like her. Before long, Raven's family and Alexander's family start socializing - with Raven and Alexander on hand to make sure Raven's parents don't discover the truth.

But Alexander's parents didn't come to town to visit, they came to sell the mansion and take their son back to Europe with them. When the devastating news hits the couple, they vow to stop the sale.

ROYALD BLOOD continues with the romantic vampire saga of Raven and Alexander in a Gothic tale of love, loss, and friendship.

*spoilers below*
Goth girl Raven can never catch a break. Just when her and Alexander's relationship seems to be out of danger---think again. Alexander's parents, Cassandra and Constantine are the classic vampires. Cassandra is pale with the confidence of a queen and the attitude of a movie star, and Raven realizes that she's admiring her role model more than her own mother. Alexander's father, Constantine is the classic vampire all the way, dark with incredible eyes, with a cane and cape in tow.

All is well until they realize and fret over Raven suffering the same fate as Alexander's grandmother: alone in the world because of her love for vampires. They make to move back to Romania now that the feud with the Maxwells (Jagger, Luna, and their younger brother) is over! Who could bare to be seperated from their true love? No one, especially not our dark duo; so the pair create a devious plan to spread rumors so the mansion will go unsold. Which works.. until it doesn't.

Raven seems to grow mentally mature in this book than in the others. She and Becky see eye to eye about their boyfriends and their "not so close" friendship. And she also thinks about her future--not as a vampire but career and passions. She's able to see past Trevor's front and tells the truth of him to him, thus changing him (slightly) into a better (yea right) arch nemisous/stalker. (Seriously, read about the portait in his room and dare to tell me otherwise.)

Overall, Royal Blood is a good read if you liked the others. But I wish Jagger would come back into the story. Trevor's character is becoming less annoying and more sad. Pathetic sad, not tragic. And the "Naper Paper" I'm assuming is supposed to be a shortened, easier try at explaining the dreaded Senior Project. :P

Vampire kisses get better and better as I read them. But I would like to start to see when Raven Will finally make her choice about becoming or staying human. Alexander is always dreamy, not to mention I love his and Ravens fashion, it one of the things I look forward to in the book. When Raven finally meets Alexanders parents it was cool to read that they take pride in the dark fashions as well.

Trevor continues to annoy and baffle me, due to the fact that he loves to pick on raven but also like to hit on her. Does he love her or what? He can't seem to pick. My Fave part of the book was the auctioning of Raven's painting, when it was bought for a high bid from someone raven didn't really expect.

The book was fun and Funny as well, I loved there up and down moments. It also made me cry a little, but I highly recommend this book.

I have read all 6 of these books. The book is to easy to fiquire out the ending. Needs more suspense to it. But they are ok. They just leave you with a bad cliffhanger.

It was a great book. Very easy to read but wished it was longer. I recommend this book to teens and young adults.

Summer break is over, and Raven is hardly eager to be returning to Dullsville High.

Not only does school mean daily interaction with preppy pest Trevor Mitchell, but her sleep-filled days and romantic nights with her immortal boyfriend, Alexander, must come to an end. Plus the shock of morning classes isn't the only change in store.

An unexpected letter turns up at Alexander's mansion--announcing his parents will be coming to town. And once they arrive, just about everyone has had a sighting of the macabre couple except Raven. What could be delaying Alexander from introducing Raven to them? Could Alexander be hiding something about his parents' homecoming?

When Raven is finally invited to the most thrilling dinner party of her life, the next turn of events could transform her entire future with Alexander. The sixth book in Ellen Schreiber's bestselling Vampire Kisses series takes an unusual twist in the continuing romance of Raven and Alexander.

As a rule I am not interested in mysteries....however, I picked this up at our local library last week, I was in a hurry....Royal Blood is a delightful story, very funny, well written. I found myself laughing out loud. Very clever is Rhys Bowen, the author....I loved it. A fun read.
