“The Silver Kiss” by Annette C. Klause
It’s been a while since I read “The Silver Kiss,” but I want to recommend it to fans of the “Twilight” series.
Zoe, coming home from a hospital visit with her mother, who is dying of cancer, stays out past midnight–sad, lonely, and brimming with memories. While sitting in a playground that she loved as a child, she sees a tall, thin boy with pale skin and silvery hair. She is very afraid, remembering recent news headlines about a woman who was killed and drained of blood.
When Zoe later meets Simon, the two are attracted to one another. That Simon is a vampire causes Zoe to think desperate things—could he keep her mother from dying? Is he the murderer mentioned in the news? The two need each other to understand death, to keep from being caught in grief, and to stop the cycle of murder in town.
“The Silver Kiss” is by the same author who wrote “Blood and Chocolate,” a book several of you liked. This one is less overtly sensual, perhaps a bit more thoughtful. I highly recommend it to fans of vampire romances.

I didn’t like the “Twilight” series either. (I have an earlier entry on this blog about trying to read it and hating it.) However, since so many of the students like “Twilight,” I thought that “The Silver Kiss” would be a good choice–I do think it’s a more thoughtful book, especially on death and what it could mean to live forever or be ‘undead.’
Really, twilight? I mean the silver kiss is an ok book but twilight was just terrible. The main character with basicaly no personality and an abusive guy portrayed as the nicest guy ever? I can’t get how it’s so popular.
