Title: Love Bites

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page count: 179 pages

Rating: 5 stars

Book synopsis:

As a mortal girl dating a vampire, Raven knows that love isn't always easy. Now that Alexander's parents have returned to Romania, Raven and her dreamy vampire boyfriend are happy to resume their cryptic romance.

But soon another visitor comes knocking: Sebastian, Alexander's best friend, arrives for a stay at the mansion. At first Raven is wary, then thrilled--this is the perfect chance to learn more about her darkly handsome boyfriend and his past. Raven has been wondering whether Alexander will ever bite her and make their love immortal, and Sebastian could be her guide to the love habits of Alexander and his kind. But when Sebastian falls for a particular Dullsvillian, will another mortal beat Raven to the bite?

With suspense, danger, and a fabulous vampire party, this seventh book in the bestselling Vampire Kisses series continues the exciting nocturnal romance of Raven and Alexander.

My Review

 So here goes the 7th book in the series! Wee! Introducing a new sexy vampire, Sebastian! Sebastian is Alexander's bestfriend.. Oh how I envy Raven for being with two sexy vamps... I pity Sebastian since I can feel that his feelings were real; and that tiny blood incident with Becky? I guess he just can't control himself yet, and that he really doesn't want it to happen. 

I'm hoping for another love triangle in the story including Sebastian, Becky and Matt! But I know it might spoil the series because it should only be Raven having a love affair with a vampire. But sometimes, I don't know if I'm team Alexander or Team Trevor.. I like bad guys in series, but this time, the bad guy is a mortal so I'd still be more of team Alex! Hihi. Looking forward for the next two books:)

Book review: Once in a Full Moon (Full Moon, #1) by Ellen Schreiber

Title: Once in a Full Moon

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page Count: 292 pages

Rating: 100 STARS! XD

Book synopsis:

Beware of a kiss under the full moon. It will change your life forever.

Celeste Parker is used to hearing scary stories about werewolves—Legend's Run is famous for them. She's used to everything in the small town until Brandon Maddox moves to Legend's Run and Celeste finds herself immediately drawn to the handsome new student. But when, after an unnerving visit with a psychic, she encounters a pack of wolves and gorgeous, enigmatic Brandon, she must discover whether his transformation is more than legend or just a trick of the shadows in the moonlight.

Her best friends may never forgive her if she gives up her perfect boyfriend, Nash, for Brandon, who's from the wrong side of town. But she can't deny her attraction or the strong pull he has on her. Brandon may be Celeste's hero, or he may be the most dangerous creature she could encounter in the woods of Legend's Run.

Psychic predictions, generations-old secrets, a town divided, and the possibility of falling in love with a hot and heroic werewolf are the perfect formula for what happens . . . once in a full moon.

Book review:

This book is so................. AMAZING! One of Ellen Schreiber's best! I am speechless! Haha. I'm totally in loved with this book. This makes me crave to buy the next books.. And I'm willing to starve just to save money to buy the next book, Magic of the Moonlight and Full Moon Kisses. This is the best book about werewolves I ever read in my entire life. I love the love story between Nash, Celeste, and Brandon. Celeste is a lucky girl. She has a loving family, best friends, and perfect love life (even though it seems quite complicated for her). Nash only started to care when Celeste was no longer his, and Brandon is this hot and mysterious guy every girl would ever dream to date in her life. I don't want to include more spoilers in this review. I don't know what else to say except that this is one of the most awesome books to read before you die! :)

Book review: The Coffin Club (Vampire Kisses #5) by Ellen Scheriber

Title: The Coffin Club

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page count: 177 pages

Rating: 5 stars

Book synopsis:

When Raven returns to Hipsterville's cryptic goth haunt, the Coffin Club, she discovers a secret door to another disco-"The Dungeon"-that is inhabited by vampires only. Raven learns that the nefarious Jagger Maxwell has welcomed the vampire clan into the club and has gained the popularity he missed in Romania. He is poised to take over Hipsterville, until a new vampire named Phoenix challenges him for control of the Coffin Club. Unbeknownst to Alexander, Raven becomes caught up in the clash, entranced by the hypnotic vampire culture of the Underworld.

Book review:

I was so excited to read this book on the series because of this new club called "The Dungeon". I love reading about mysterious places and secrets. It's like having an adventure not knowing if it is safe or not. In this book, Schreiber came with a new twist in the story where real vampires exist, partying and clubbing all night long. Plus, the new character named Phoenix is a hottie! He's a cool but mysterious biker, giving new questions and revelations to Raven about her vampire boyfriend's dark world. This book gave me the most excitement so far in the series.

Book Review: Royal Blood (Vampire Kisses #6) by Ellen Schreiber

Title: Royal Blood

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page Count: 195 pages

Rating: 5 stars

Book synopsis:

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.

Book review:

It's been a while since I last made a book review. I've been very busy lately, but still find time to finish this book. I totally love this book! So far, this is the best book of the Vampire Kisses novels. I can totally relate to Raven upon meeting Alexander's parents, as well as introducing her parents to him. The tension, fear, and excitement -- everything! Plus, I totally love the Sterlings! I can imagine Mrs. Sterling's fashion sense upon reading, how fierce she is, and how handsome Mr. Sterling is! Definitely amazing!

Book Review: Dance With a Vampire (Vampire Kisses #4) by Ellen Schreiber

Title: Dance With A Vampire

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page count: 179 pages

Rating: 5 stars

Book synopsis:

There's a new vampire in town. His name is Valentine Maxwell. Goth-girl Raven knows this latest intruder can only mean trouble--he's the younger sibling of two vampires she fought to drive out of Dullsville. But when her brother, Billy, befriends this dangerous tween night prowler, the stakes are suddenly higher. Though torn by the excitement of every teen girl's fantasy--attending the prom with her boyfriend--Raven must do everything she can to protect Billy.

Valentine's appearance may pose even further threats. Could he somehow know Raven's innermost feelings about becoming immortal for her true love, Alexander? The far-from-ordinary romance of these two teen outsiders takes another surprise-filled spin in the fourth book of Ellen Schreiber's applauded Vampire Kisses series.

Book Review:

Wooo! I so love what's happening so far.. It's thrilling and exciting. I can picture out Valentine's image the way he's described in the book. So far I'm not disappointed with the series since Raven and Alexander looks so cute together.. And I can say Alexander really loves Raven since he doesn't want her to join his dark underworld. Raven shows how much she loves her brother Billy Boy by doing her best to protect her from Valentine.. I just don't want the way Raven's prom ended.. It made me sad for a while but definitely this kept me excited to reading the next book!

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Full Moon Kisses

by Ellen Schreiber
Expected publication: December 26, 2012 by Katherine Tegen Books

Book synopsis (from Amazon):

Beware of the full moon.

A werewolf wants to take you into his world. Forever.

Celeste and Brandon know that Nash in werewolf form is bad news. But a new prediction from psychic Dr. Meadows has Celeste wondering: Which of them wants to turn her into a werewolf?

Still on Celeste's and Brandon's minds is the "cure" from Brandon's father. Brandon must face one dilemma he hadn't anticipated—if his dad's serum really does work, is he willing to give up being a werewolf for good? Is Celeste willing to give up her heroic werewolf boyfriend? And when Nash finds out there's a cure, will he try to take it from Brandon as they continue to deal with their rivalry, their competing affections for Celeste, and their struggles with their werewolf identities?

Then things grow still more complicated when a gang of sketchy guys from a neigh-boring town comes to Legend's Run just before the big Werewolf Festival. What, or whom, are they looking for?

The third installment in the sumptuous series about werewolves and the popular girl who loves one is full of danger, mystery, and undeniably romantic full moon kisses.

So, what's on your can't-wait-to-read list this week? :)

Book review: Vampire Kisses: The Beginning by Ellen Schreiber

Title: Vampire Kisses: The Beginning

Author: Ellen Schreiber

Page count: 562 pages

Rating: 5 stars

Book 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.

Book review:

I'm obsessed with vampires and werewolf thingy. But I have to admit, this is the first vampire book I read. I became obsessed with vampires because of the TV series True Blood and The Vampire Diaries and from that I decided to try reading books on them. So thus, I chose Vampire Kisses series to be the firsts on my list.

I was so inloved with this book that I finished it in one day, and happened to read it for the second time! I could see myself in Raven, the main character, who's very much hooked into vampires. Except that I don't do goth fashion. The book isn't boring at any part, and makes you excited for every chapter that you'll read. Then there's the vampire boyfriends, Alexander. Who wouldn't fall inlove with him? I really wanna feel how to be loved and protected by a vampire and Alexander made me feel it even if I'm just reading.. the only thing I don't like in him is that he has long hair.. I remember Eric form True Blood, he has long hair the first time I saw him in the series then he got a haircut and looked hotter! I think Alexander will look more handsome and hotter too.. Eh?

This is a must-read for all YA readers out there, this is complete of humor, family, friendship and romance with a mix of supernatural beings.

It's Monday! What are you reading? #1

"It's Monday! What Are You Reading?" is a weekly meme hosted by Book Journey in which we plan our reading week and it's my first time to join this weekly meme! I'm starting to enjoy participating in weekly memes. It keeps me busy and keeps my blog updated while I'm still reading books and don't have anything to post yet.

So, this week, I'm planning to read:

Dance With A Vampire (Vampire Kisses #4) by Ellen Schreiber

The Coffin Club (Vampire Kisses # 5) by Ellen Schreiber

Royal Blood (Vampire Kisses #6) Ellen Schreiber

I just can't get enough of Schreiber's vampire books. She did a great mix of humor, romance, and supernatural creatures in her books. I can say right now that she's one of my favorite vampire/werewolf authors. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series.. and eventually start on Once in a Full Moon (Full Moon novel) once I finished Vampire Kisses. :)
