Kissing Coffins is book #2 is Ellen Schreiber’s series,
Vampire Kisses. In this book, Raven has finally met the handsome, Alexander
Sterling, and has found out a secret of his. One she is willing to keep because
she has finally found love. Raven is finally happy, and her behaviour is so
upbeat and positive there’s no doubt she is in love. She is quick to learn that
even true love can have complications. The secret Alexander has to keep guarded
is huge, but Raven understands. Just when Raven was truly happy and had found
love, Alexander disappears without any warning. This leads Raven to leave her
town, Dullsville, and go in search of him. She travels to what she calls
Hipsterville and stays with her aunt in hopes of finding him. She immediately
falls in love with the town; it even has gothic stores where she can buy all of
her clothes, not like in Dullsville where she has to order things. The search
to find Alexander turns dangerous when another young vampire shows up in her
life. Raven must act quickly in order to stay safe and to keep Alexander safe,
even though she has no idea where he is.
I liked this book about as much as I liked the first, but it
had a little bit more action which was entertaining. It is a very light read,
very quick to get through. I like that Schreiber doesn’t fill our heads with
unnecessary characters or situations. Everything she writes has a purpose and
has to do with the main story. We learn more about Alexander’s past, and why he
behaves the way he does, and who he truly is. Spoiler alert…..Alexander is a
vampire, which we found out at the end of the first book, but not in the
conventional way most vampires behave. But with dating a vampire, Raven learns
of the dangers that she can be exposed to. The love story takes on more depth
as we have more of a look into how Raven feels about Alexander and what she
truly wants with life.
