My 14 y/o loves this series. I was able to read it before her, given she's in the middle of another book. I've read the series along with her and enjoy it a lot. The series is based on a teenage goth girl who has wanted to be a vampire all her life. In the first one, she actually meets & dates one. Through the series they have overcome various obstacles, mostly villians (although not too graphic for the younger readers).
I must say that the author makes this a fun, interesting, easy read for any age. I've even recommended it to my neighbor's 10 year old son. Although he may not like the kissing and holding hands, which is all they have done. (She's 16 or so in this book, so it's maintaining good morals, although not likely realistic.) Make sure you read them in sequence, as the author doesn't elaborate on references to prior books.

This was a fast read, I'm an adult and I can't wait for the next one.

Ive never had a book cause me to actually dream about the characters and its story before, until now. Ha. Ellen Scheiber has written some powerful books here and they have stayed with me and literally affected my Psyche.
I loved this one, book 6. Raven gets to meet Alexanders parents, in the process a lot of things come crashing to a halt. What could the future possibly hold for a long life relationship between vampire and a mortal? One would live for eternity while one dies. This was the way with Alexanders Grandmother. Will it be this way for Raven too. Will she be the one in the mansion at night staring up at the moon from her window, whilst all of the town whisper about her. As much as Raven wants to be a vampire, I dont think she will ever become one.
Highly recommend this whole series, YA or Vampire/Romance lovers or Goth lovers in general would truly appreciate these stories.
