Not overly dark and creepy, but with a fair ammount of suspense. The characters are easy to relate to, and don’t get annoyingly angsty or stupid. The main character Raven will especially appeal to kids who have always lived outside the 'In crowd'. The focus is more on the typical relationships and inner lives of teenagers than on Vampire lore or a dark underworld. This series is also pretty 'clean' for a teenage romance. Don't read the first book without the seccond one handy becuase it has a real cliff-hanger ending.
There are currently 4 books in the series, and the 5th one is coming out in June.
A manga based on these books has also been published entitled:
Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives. The plot does not strictly follow the first book, but the artwork is pretty good and it's an enjoyable addition to (or even introduction to) the series.
