![]() The Silver Kiss is ultimately about loneliness and the search for someone who understands your loneliness. After reading the article, I knew that I had to read The Silver Kiss. ![]() It compares The Silver Kiss to Twilight, highlighting the differences. It talks about the renewed attention to the romance between humans and vampires. ![]() It contains an article titled “Bitten: From The Silver Kiss to Twilight,” that sounded interesting. So, I was ready for a break from vampires (I don’t include Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments series, since vampires are one of several types of supernatural creatures that appear in each book or Hearts at Stake by Alyxandra Harvey, which is more chick lit than vampire tale), but then I saw the January/February issue of The Horn Book (a magazine that reviews and discusses children's and YA literature). Last year it felt like every other book I read had vampires as main characters. Secondly, I am just at the end of my tolerance for vampire books. The first is that The Silver Kiss is well written and other than a few very minor details that hint at the 1990s, the book is timeless. So, I’m not really going to do a strict review, for a couple of reasons. It feels slightly weird reviewing a book that has been in print for eighteen years. ![]()
