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.
