Raven is back, along with her vampire boyfriend, Alexander

and trouble is still following them around town.

Alexander’s cousin, Claude, along with his gang, is unfortunately continuing to grace them with their presence - and

it is definitely not for good reasons. Raven is doing all she can to protect her family from these half-vampires, even

resorting to the age old trick of garlic necklaces placed around the house.

But Raven knows that the only way Claude will leave and stop bothering her is if they finally find the vials that will

aid them in turning into true vampires. So now Raven and Alexander must come up with a plan to find the vials

before Claude can get to them.

Alexander then remembers a map when he was little that could possibly be the key to finding the vials; if only he

could remember where that map is now. Not being able to work together during the day, Raven and Alexander

must work quickly with the limited time they have, in order to prevent Claude and his gang from becoming the full

vampires that they have yearned to be.

But can a team of two go up against a gang of four?

Quick and entertaining, the second in the

VAMPIRE KISSES

manga series is just as captivating as the first. The

plot is gripping, the drawings are amazing, and each page will have readers at the edge of their seats. Fans of the

novel series will want to sink their teeth into this manga installment - just be warned, it definitely isn’t over yet.
