Review: By far my favorite series as far as novels go. They even made it into a manga it was so popular. I'm curious to see how the movie turns out. Hopefully it won't be ruined like most series these days. I love the romance between Raven and Alexander. It's just the right amount of romance without going overboard. Anyone ages 12 and up will find this an entertaining read. I cannot put down any of these books once I began reading them. The characters are all very unique and it's interesting to watch the character's development. Well I won't give too much away, you'll just have to read for yourself!

Ongoing: No, story completed

Review: This is my second favorite vampire novel I have read. The words and the imagery used touched me and I could feel the emotions in the characters. This story is beautiful and I actually stumbled upon it while I was on amazon buying books, so I decided to buy this as well. I only wish that there had been more since it was such a unique and wonderful story. Perhaps the author will write another vampire story. Simon is just so beautiful and I love how he is portrayed. A must read for anyone 12 years and up.

Season 1 and season 2 of the anime is completed so far

Anime/Manga

Review: This is my favorite vampire romance anime and manga. The characters are beautiful and it's impossible to stop reading or watching it. Both seasons seemed way too short to me as they were 13 episodes long each. Of course they did start the anime shortly after the manga began so it did catch up quickly. The manga is currently ongoing and they most likely won't start the next season till next year unfortunately. This is a must for any vampire fan if you read manga and watch anime. I love the love triangle between Kaname and Zero. Who will she choose? You'll have to find out for yourself!

Vol.2 not out in english till Nov. 3rd

Review: I love this series so much, I wish it had gone on longer. It was hilarious when he would try to bite her, but she'd end up slapping him across the room. The vampires are beautiful and have unique personalities. And the love triangle with Katsuragi, Kuroboshi, and her child hood friend who tries to stop their affection in fear of her being tainted by a vampire is entertaining to watch.

Author: Bisco Hatori

Ongoing: On hold, manga vol.1-2 out so far

Review: This series is another must read for all you vampire romance lovers. He seems so different from the normal vampire since he hates blood and refuses to drink it. The character development is fun to watch as they grow and change. The only thing that saddened me, was when it cut off at the end. The author has currently put this series on hold to finish another series. I can only hope that this will be worth the wait!
