Ellen Schreiber: Immortal Hearts

You know I have this problem with unfinished series. Long time ago I bought the whole Vampire Kisses series thinking it would be an entertaining read and then I had to stop reading it because it was very weak. That was then. Now I'm all about giving it a second chance - yup, it means that I have totally forgotten why I've never finished the series. 

So, there is this teenager who spends her time dressing like a Goth and daydreaming about being a creature of the night in a small town full of average people. It all changes when she meets a newcomer to the town - a real vampire. Throughout the series they face foes and all she does is whine why she doesn't get turned. 'Cause being stuck in a teenage body must be a really mature wish. So her vampire boyfriend keeps postponing the turning because he seems to have both feet on the ground. 

I don't know, the plot twists are almost nonexistent especially in the last book of the series (that's the worst of them all), the heroine acts like a broken record and everything that seemed thrilling about the series at the beginning somehow wanes into nothingness. Really, there may have been some story to tell at the beginning but as the series progressed, it became more and more dull.

GENRE: teenage romance

FANGS OUT: Goths have potential
FANGS RETRACTING: word candelabra overuse
