First of all, I just want to say that this is the second book in the series, picking up right where the first one left off, so it is highly suggested that KISSING COFFINS be read after VAMPIRE KISSES. Consider that your warning. Now that that's out of the way, on to the book!
Goth-girl Raven has just discovered that her boyfriend, Alexander Sterling, new to the town of "Dullsville," is an actual vampire. Unfortunately, the morning after this startling discovery, he disappears. Raven is devastated, but doesn't dare ask anyone for help for fear they will discover his secret.
She decides to take the matter into her own hands and sets off to look for clues to his whereabouts, determined to find him and convince him that she is perfectly fine with the fact that he is one of the undead. Her search leads her to the Mansion, where she finds a mysterious note in Alexander's bedroom that only says, "Alexander, HE IS ON HIS WAY!" She then takes a trip to nearby "Hipsterville," home of hippies, Goths, starving artists, her aunt Libby, and, hopefully, Alexander.
Following a trail of clues, she visits the Coffin Club (a popular hangout for Goths), the Hipsterville Historical Society (who knew that would be helpful?), and a deserted mansion on the outskirts of town (that's hopefully not really deserted at all).
She also meets the mysterious and slightly creepy Jagger, who offers to help her with her search. But is he just a Goth-obsessed teen like Raven, or is he the real thing? And why does he seem so interested in Alexander?
KISSING COFFINS is a fun, quick read for those looking for a vampire story without the blood and gore. However, the writing is often quite shallow, and the relationship between Raven and Alexander is never really fully developed enough for my taste. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the book, and I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the series.

Vampire Kisses 2: Kissing Coffins is a continuation of Ellen Schreiber's first book about a sixteen year old goth girl that is obsessed with Vampires. The girl- Raven Madison- is one of if not the least popular girl in her intire town which she refers to 'Dullsville'. Raven is the only goth in town and she only has one friend named Becky. Raven is the only one who doesn't beat up Becky and that's pretty much the only reason they are friends. In a town filled with Soccer snobs, such as the infamous Trevor Mitchell, tennis clubs, and preps Raven only fits in, in two places. The cemetery and the Benson hill mansion. She ends up going out with a gorgeous goth guy named Alexander Sterling who is rumored to be a vampire. In the end of the first book the rumors dissapear but Alexander ends up really being a vampire. Alexander moves away and Raven is devastated.
In the second book Raven goes to her aunt's town, which she calls 'Hipsterville', to find Alexander. Hipsterville is the exact opposite of Dullsville. There are goths everywhere mostly at the Coffin Club and a store called Hot Gothics (ringing any bells?). Raven meets a guy named Jagger at the Coffin Club and he offers to help her find Alexander, claiming to be a friend of his. In the end Jagger isn't really who he claims to be and the past catches to Alexander.
I thought this book was a worthy sequal. The only thing I didn't like was when Ellen Schreiber kept bringing up how 'goth' Raven was. Gothic shoes, Gothic clothes, Gothic accesories. Blah blah blah blah blah. Otherwise the book was a very good one.

A funny and suspenseful sequel to VAMPIRE KISSES

Format:Relié
Goth girl Raven is back in this funny sequel to VAMPIRE KISSES. She is still trying to connect with her mysterious true love Alexander Sterling, who has disappeared from his mansion in Raven's small town, which she calls "Dullsville." Raven would like to know, among other things, if he wants to make her a vampire so she can be with him.
She learns that Jameson, Alexander's butler, placed an order for flowers from a nearby town that Raven labels "Hipsterville." Luckily her aunt lives there and she heads over for a visit during her spring break. Hipsterville offers stores specializing in Goth clothes, a Coffin Club night hotspot, and a historical society with clues about local mansions. As Raven tracks down her elusive boyfriend, she draws the attention of another vampire, one who also wants to find Alexander, but for dark reasons of his own. While she is enjoying fitting in with the Goth folks in Hipsterville, Raven does not want to draw Alexander into danger. But danger does follow her back to Dullsville...
In addition to piecing the mystery together, Raven tries to figure out what the future will hold for her and Alexander. She loves him but doesn't know if she wants to become a vampire like him. She knows she will always stand out from her family and her town, but will fitting in with him and his kind be the answer for her? The end of KISSING COFFINS leaves the plot wide open for a third book, which will be welcome for readers of this funny and suspenseful series.
