Vampire Kisses: Graveyard Games, vol. 1 / Ellen Schreiber / 160 pgs. / 1st in a Series Challenge

I had heard of the YA series "Vampire Kisses" and I thought this was book one, but it turns out this is book
one of a new story arc.   It wasn't hard to follow along, since the book quickly mentions previous events and there is a character introduction included in the first pages of the book. The story is clean, meaning no blood, nudity, or even violence; which is rare for a "Vampire" story.  The only concern, or rather just plain annoyance, is that the main character, Raven, is always sneaking off to hug and hang on her boyfriend, and she's always daydreaming and talking about him.  Its kind of like having that friend who is in a new relationship and all she does is talk and spend time with her new boyfriend.  The lovey-dovey stuff just really gets old after awhile.

In this volume, Raven, her Vampire boyfriend Alexander, and their Vampire and non-Vampire friends, join the local community theater to put on the play Cinderella.  Alexander's Vampire cousin Claude, has decided to stay in town and not return to Romania.  So it is up to Raven and Alexander to keep an eye on him and figure out what he and his gang are up to.

A Clean Recommendation for Teens.
