VAMPIREVILLE follows right on the heels of its predecessors, and it is strongly recommended that the previous books in the
series, VAMPIRE KISSES and KISSING COFFINS, be read first, otherwise things will not make sense and you're sure to
be confused and unable to fully enjoy the story.

Alexander Sterling is back in "Dullsville," and Raven couldn't be happier about that. However, Jagger and his twin sister, Luna,
are also hanging around, which is the reason why Raven has started carrying garlic in her purse. To make matters worse, now
that Luna has been turned into a vampire, she's on the search for her true love, and she's convinced she's found him in Trevor.

Trevor may have been Raven's arch nemesis since kindergarten, but that doesn't mean that she wants him to fall victim to
Luna's charms. Not to mention her fangs. So Raven takes it upon herself to protect Trevor--after all, the last thing "Dullsville"
needs is a vampire-Trevor!

Raven is also trying to deal with having a nocturnal boyfriend. She mourns the loss of Alexander's company during the day,
just as she despises the school that prevents her from being able to keep the same hours as he does. The time they do have
together is spent searching cemeteries and other spooky deserted areas for Jagger and Luna's hideout, determined to drive
them away before they turn "Dullsville" into someplace infinitely less dull--"Vampireville."

VAMPIREVILLE is a fun continuation of the VAMPIRE KISSES series, and will definitely leave readers eagerly awaiting the
fourth book, DANCE WITH A VAMPIRE. The writing and storyline doesn't quite live up to some of the other young adult
books in this genre, but it is nevertheless an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
