The Silver Kiss

Reader reviewed by Kit-Kat

...But it was a decent book. The plot is simple, and predictable at times, but very interesting. The language is easy to understand and I read it with little difficulty.

The characters have little quirks and faults, but they are human ones - even though some of them aren't technically humans - that endear us to them.

There were portions that surprised me, parts where the author came through with surprising originality.

I recommend buying it!

I'd really give this book a 4.5, but anyhow... I recently reread this book, and I tell you, everytime it gets me. I love those forbidden love things. Zoe has her mother's inevitable death looming over her head, Simon is death, but has a mission. Simon and Zoe work together to kill Simons vampire brother who is resposible for all the murders occuring in their small town. They find each other and fall in love, I mean who couldn't fall for a vampire kiss???? When Simon completes his mission, he's finally allowed to be free, to wait up for the dawn with Zoe, one last time, and fade into the sunlight without being burned, with an,"I love you Zoe" as he fades. NOTHING BETTER THAN THAT!!!

Zoe having a hard time dealing with feeling about her dying mother when she meets Simon. Simon seems to understand the pain of death and loneliness and Zoe's brooding thoughts about her dying mother. Simon is a vampire, seeking revenge for the gruesome murder of his mother 300 years ago. Does Simon dare ask Zoe to help free him from this lifeless chase and it's intolerable solitude?

This book is for lovers of vampire fiction. I'm not going to lie, I didn't think this book was as good as Twilight. However, I think it is a good story. Zoe's dealing with her mother's death helped me put things into perspective. I am very afraid of death and Zoe's getting through her mother's impending passing helped me to see that death is not always scary. There is good in it too. Simon's story is definately unique and I really liked it. There was just something so morbid about it.
