Summary: Book Review
Review: Zoë is going through some hard times. Her mother is in the hospital because she is dying of cancer; her best friend, the only person she really talks to is moving away; her father is so depressed he barely even looks at her; and she has befriended her stocker, a vampire. Simon has been hunting sown his older brother Christopher. Simon's out to get revenge on Christopher for killing their mother. But Simon need's help, he can't do it on his own so Zoe volunteers to help him out. Annette Curtis Klause is an amazing writer. It is impossible to put this book down once you start reading it. Her story is so mesmerizing and you can really get into Zoë's shoes. I enjoyed this book, The Silver Kiss, very much and recommend that you read Blood and Chocolate.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I've recommended this book to everyone I know
Review: Half the vampyre books I read are trite and the characters stereotypical, but this is not your ordinary book. Immediately you meet Zoe. Her world is falling apart, what with her mother's cancer and her best friend moving away. The recent murders in town aren't helping either. Enter Simon, a fair, angelic-looking, "teenage" vampyre on a quest for vengance. The two meet and share histories, and their futures become twined together as they help each other. Zoe helps Simon get his revenge, and Simon helps Zoe deal with the fact that her mother will die. The author's description of the night and the antics of the two are realistic as anything, right down to the sparring between friends. I don't know how to say it exactly, but the story just captures you. My only complaint is the plot seesaws severely between Zoe and Simon's point-of-views, which can be confusing at first. I read it from start to finish in one blow, and then felt sad because it was so good and there was nothing left to read! If you like vampyres, or you just want a really good read, check this out. NOW!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was so excited when I found this book at the library, thinking it would be somewhat like "Look For Me By Moonlight," which is absolutely excellent. But I was very disappointed to find that after reading (and skimming), the first few chapters, I was so bored that I just said "forget it," and probably picked up "Look For Me By Moonlight," again. If you are interested in a suspenseful, romantic teen vampire novel with DETAIL, please choose "Look For Me By Moonlight," instead of "The Silver Kiss."

Summary: This Book Made Me cry
Review: You know its kind of sad that I can remember the guys name, which is Simon, but I can't remember the girls name that the story is supposed to be about. But then I'm bad with names too. Anyways This story is about a young lady who is going through some hard times because her mom is sick and meets a young atractive vampire who is fasinated by her. But there is a twist. The twist is the reason the book made me cry. When I finished the book I felt like throwing it against the wall. It does bring out every emotion that you can think of off the top of your head. Joy, sadness, grief, relief, nervousness. This is an excellent book and you should definately read it. Its filled with a lovely bit of romance not to sound superficial but, for we girls the guy sounds hot. Oh by the way I lent the book to a couple of friends and the keep telling me how great the book is and that they don't want to give it back. So, read the book yourself and tell me what you think... please.

Summary: Five stars, ten stars, a hundred stars!
Review: What an incredibly sweet and beautiful story. I just can't adequately express how wonderful this book is! The characters were complex, likeable, sympathetic. The plot was complicated and engaging.

Zoe's mother is dying of cancer, and her father deals with it by spending hours and hours every day at the hospital and refusing to let Zoe come. But Zoe needs to come. And she wants to talk about death. But no one will discuss it with her--her mother, her father, her best friend. Then Zoe meets Simon--beautiful, unearthly Simon. (By the way, Simon was really really sexy. I mean, he's up there with Ethan from Vivian Vande Velde's "Companions of the Night" and the Marquis from Sherwood Smith's "Court/Crown Duel".) Anyways, so Simon shows up at Zoe's door on Halloween and asks to be invited in. She doesn't know why, but she lets him. And she finds out that Simon is a vampire. Simon says his brother, Christopher, is a vicious vampire who murders for fun. He even killed their mother 300 years ago. Simon wants Zoe to help him get his revenge. She agrees, not only because she's fallen in love with Simon, but also because he'll discuss death with her. And he certainly knows a lot about death. So the plot progresses and the tension builds until finally it comes to a spectacularly thrilling and dramatic climax.

The ending is sad, but it was a memorable sadness, and that's the kind of ending this book deserves--memorable. If you're looking for suspense, drama, great characters, touching romance, and a wonderful plot, this book has it. I promise. Read it, and you will never forget it.

Summary: The Silver Kiss!
Review: Zoe is going through the hardest time in her life right now. Her mother is dying from cancer, her best friend is moving away, her father won't pay any attention to her, and she's stopped sleeping. Late one night Zoe goes for a walk in the park and see's a boy standing in the bushes. Zoe thought nothing of it but night after night she kept seeing him. Finally, he talks to her. She finds about a lot about him like his name is Simon. Oh, and he's a vampire. After learning Simon's past Zoe realizes she can help his future. That is where I shall leave you at. This book has comedy, tradgedy, romance and horror all in one! The book is a real page turner and keeps you glued to your seat. Your actually sad at the end because you don't want the book to finish! I give the books 5 stars because it's one of the best I have ever read.
Happy Reading!

Summary: Definately, the best book I've ever read!
Review: It's been a while since I've read a book that wasn't for school. So when I was at Barnes & Noble looking through the Young Adult section two days ago, something just kept drawing me back to the book. The fact that it's won several awards and had wonderful reviews on the inside cover also convinced me into getting it. I started reading it that night, and I instantly fell in love. The characters were so awesome, and the pages were going by so fast. I never wanted the story to end, and especially not the way it did. Even though the author may have stretched some details about how vampires are, it doesn't matter. It's her book and I love the way she wrote it. I wouldn't change anything. The way the author used imagery, suspense, and foreshadowing kept me hooked the whole way. It's action packed, romantic, and absolutely a beautiful story. By the time I got to the end this afternoon, I was in tears. Not just because of what happened, but because the story was over. I'll never forget "The Silver Kiss." It will always have a special place in my heart. And I plan on reading it again. I would recommend this story to anyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: I saw this book at the library, and since I'm such a huge vampire fan, I had to check it out. I must have read it 20 times before I returned it, I loved it that much. It's romantic, it's suspenseful, and it's very detailed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DaJuan ...
Review: Someone told me about this book that's whatmade me pick it. This bookwill fallin the category of horro/alove story. This story is mostly about two people who fall in love. Their namesare Zoe and Simon. Simonis a vampire and can't come out in the morning. He has blonde hair , and isn't very shy. ZoeThough, is very shallow, and is a normal person. She is a brunette with eyes like an early summerbreeze. They were important because they were the main characters in the story, and they were what the story was based on.
