      I wasn't very impressed with this book. It seemed as if the beginning was too long and the ending too short. The main character was too trusting of the vampire and never seemed to take enough stock in her own life. The author seemed to steal ideas from other vampire works... the water thing from Dracula, the idea of a child vampire from Anne Rice, etc. and nothing was very new or interesting in this book. The parents were sort of non-characters and the ending was, as I said, a complete let down and way too quick and easy.
    • 5/5
      It was almost sad that it had to end, because half way through you fall in love with the sexy male vamp :D
    • 4/5
      This is more than your typical book for teenagers Klause uses the characters of 16 year old Zoe and the beautiful vampire Simon to question the nature of death and letting go of those you love. Zoe's mother is dying of a terminal disease something that the sensitive Zoe can't cope with, meanwhile death seems to surround her as the town suddenly experiences a rash of grisly murders. This is really a fantastic book in the way that Klause manages to weave all the separate plot strands and characters together to produce on one hand a beautiful if tragic love story and a suspenseful mystery. Simon who has been undead for centuries collides with Zoe's life as he hunts down his older brother Chris, who was transformed into a vampire at the age of six and Simon needs Zoe's help to destroy him. The plot is like a jigsaw where everything slots into place. Zoe must learn to let go of those she loves be it her best friend who is moving to Oregon, her mother to the grip of cancer, and finally herself and her fears of death when she forms a bond with the lonely Simon who tells her that death is not to be feared that his solitary existence as one who cannot die is a source of greater sadness. Simon must find his brother and revenge their parents deaths before he can rest peacefully. This is an extremely well written book which uses characters and foreshadowing to great effect it's one of the few YA books on my shelves that I make a point of re-reading every year, do yourselves a favour buy it and the authors also magnificent Blood and Chocolate.

      When Zoe meets a mysteriously handsome boy named Simon her life is turned upside down. His a vampire and wants Zoe's help in killing the murder of his mother some three hundred years ago. What will Zoe do? And will she be Simon's next victim.
    • 4/5
      A shivery YA vampire story. I actually realized a couple chapters into it that I'd read it before, probably while I was still in middle school. It's about Zoe, whose mother is dying of cancer, and Simon, who is a vampire seeking revenge for the murder of his own mother centuries ago. He originally is drawn to Zoe as a possible victim, but instead begins to find himself emotionally drawn to her. It's a nice blend of thriller elements, romance, and coming-of-age stuff. I totally had a crush on Simon in spite of myself. :)
    • 3/5
      I didn't care much for this book, but I'm in my 30's and perhaps it appeals better to tweens/teens. Story seemed a bit rushed and I couldn't really feel the characters. If you like Vampire Kisses, you'll probably like this one.
    • 4/5
      Zoë is a pretty normal teenage girl, except for the fact that her mother is dying of cancer. It has made her grow up very fast, assuming responsibilities not typically expected of others her age. She is also kind of a loner. It's hard to have friends when they don't know how to talk to you or how to act around you because of tragedy. Simon is a tortured, but alluring vampire, driven by revenge for his mother's death. These two lonely souls meet up and join forces against an evil force that is killing unsuspecting young women in a horrific way.I remember really liking this book as a child. It generated my interest in the vampire genre that has flourished ever since (as you can see from my library). Upon rereading it as an adult, I found that I still liked it, but not nearly as much as my younger self. The plot is pretty predictable and cliché at times. Girl meets and falls in love with vampire. Vampire hates his own existence, mopes, and wants to eat girl. There are so many teen vampire books out there with similar plots. I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the cheesier lines and predictable points in the plot. I also felt that the character development was a little slow, making me connect later with the characters than I would like.Still, I feel that this book is special, despite its flaws. I really like that there is a fantastical plot line alongside a very realistic plot line. The juxtaposition of the two grounds it a little more in reality and makes the characters more believable. The Silver Kiss is more gory and horrific than most other books in the teen vampire genre, which makes my inner horror fan happy. Plus, the ending is beautiful and still brings tears to my eyes. This book has gore, horror, romance, and action. I would definitely recommend this book to fans of other teen vampire novels.
    • 5/5
       It feels slightly weird reviewing a book that has been in print for eighteen years. So, I’m not really going to do a strict review, for a couple of reasons. 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. Secondly, I am just at the end of my tolerance for vampire books. Last year it felt like every other book I read had vampires as main characters. 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). It contains an article titled “Bitten: From The Silver Kiss to Twilight,” that sounded interesting. It talks about the renewed attention to the romance between humans and vampires. It compares The Silver Kiss to Twilight, highlighting the differences. After reading the article, I knew that I had to read The Silver Kiss.The Silver Kiss is ultimately about loneliness and the search for someone who understands your loneliness. Zoe, a sixteen year-old only child, and Simon, an over 300 year old vampire, are both looking for someone or something that validates their existence. Zoe’s mother is dying and her father spends most of his time at the hospital, leaving Zoe to take care of herself. Then she finds out that her best friend, Lorraine, is moving to Oregon in two weeks. Simon was turned into a vampire in the 1600. Everyone he knew is long dead, except for the one he is hunting. He is looking to avenge his mother’s death by destroying the vampire who killed her. Zoe feels neglected, she wants someone to listen, someone to need her. Simon wants someone to know he exists, he is afraid that he doesn’t exist because no one knows his name. Simon sees Zoe in the park late one night and is instantly drawn to her, but startled by her at the same time. Their romance isn’t conventional. Zoe doesn’t fall head over heels in love with Simon and want to be with him forever. She thinks Simon is beautiful, but is disgusted when she comes across him feeding on a bird. When he shows up at her house, Zoe is hesitant about having him there but ends up listening to his story. Simon is honest with Zoe about what he is and why he is in Oakwood. Zoe realizes that Simon needs her and this is what ultimately draws her to Simon. Once they are together, Zoe keeps their relationship quiet, not telling Lorraine or her parents about Simon. Simon is relieved that someone knows that he exists and what he is. I like that The Silver Kiss alternates between Zoe’s and Simon’s point of view. It allows the reader to see things from both sides, especially as they draw closer to each other. Being with Simon and feeling needed gives Zoe confidence and the ability to see beyond her current troubles. She is more willing to be proactive in her other relationships and ultimately sees that she is worthwhile and loved. Zoe gives Simon the ability to finish what he started so many years before. Zoe and Simon's relationship is definitely not the usual human/vampire relationship, but I think that makes The Silver Kiss work so much better. Overall, The Silver Kiss gives a different spin on romance between humans and vampires. It shows that just being listened to and understood by someone can change a person's (or vampire's) outlook and can make them value their life (or see the need to move on to the next stage) even more. The Silver Kiss is a definite must read for fans of vampire books.
    • 1/5
      The first of it's kind -- a teen vampire love story. In that respect I did like the story, the concepts were intriguing and an easy story to follow. I did find it quite dated however, very 90s lit. The author also seemed like she was a teen herself in some respects..the story felt a little young and undeveloped. Some things that bothered me: Zoe is basically anorexic, but no one really says anything about it. Her mother is dying and she is trying to accept death with the help of Simon, the tortured vampire. I'm happy to say most teen writers have moved away from sappy stories like this. So it was okay, but not so inspiring now.
    • 4/5
      Zoe who is dealing with the fact that her mother is dying meets Simon, an immortal vampire. She has to decide on is she wishes to help him to find the murderer of his own mother, as well as her own feelings for him and if she will ask him to help her save her mother,
    • 4/5
      This book got me into vampire stories though this story is nothing like today's vampire stories. More old school not so mainstream like they're today. The two main characters have a connection and seem to fall into each others lives at the right time. The characters are beautifully described. All I can say is just read it. It's a quick read. I've read it twice just because.
    • 3/5
      As much as I don't want to describe it as such, I can only really think of this book in terms of its similarity to Twilight. It's not nearly as corny - not by a long shot - but it's kind of the same idea. Zoe's going through big family changes, she doesn't feel like she belongs, and then a pale boy she's instinctively drawn to shows up and they connect on some weird, inexplicable level - despite his protests that he's not good for her. Poor Bella. I mean Zoe.The fact that this isn't as superficially cheesy as Twilight is the only thing that saved this for me. The ending was a little weird, too. I'm not sure I really understood it, but I won't consider that so harshly. It was still an okay book.
    • 3/5
      The story works really well and I like the interplay of the vampire/death/release theme with Zoë’s struggle dealing with her mother’s impending death.
    • 3/5
      Shut out from her family as her mother battles cancer, Zoe longs to have someone to connect to. Hundreds of years of hunting his insane brother have left Simon, a vampire, desperate and tired of being alone. More romantic and sentimental than bloody, The Silver Kiss takes on the issues of death, loss and loneliness with a bit of fang action.
    • 5/5
      The Silver Kiss is Most Excellent! To me, this is almost the perfect vampire romance/non-romance. More importantly, it is about facing death, facing life, facing evil. It is about choosing life. Zoe is perhaps too wise for her years, but I think that comes when loving with a family member who is suffering and facing death. Perhaps that is what made it resonate with me in a year when the news is filled with illness, suffering, and death.Simon is a vampire who is over 300-years old. Simon wants revenge on a vampire who killed his mother and continues to delight in killing others. When he was turned, he was probably an appropriate age to court Zoe.I liked this book because Simon knows that his life is too dark to ask anyone, even Zoe, to share it. And Zoe learns and grows throughout the book. And the ending ... well, I leave it to you to discover.While it was written for young adults, I highly recommend it for anyone who likes a touch of horror in their vampire novel.
    • 4/5
      When she meets Simon, a vampire, teenager Zoë finally meets someone who understands facing a mother’s death, and Simon finally finds someone who can give him the strength to face up to his evil brother.
    • 3/5
      Pick this up..read it don't ask questions! Just trust the re-release. Very rustic vampire rules but in a sea of over romanced vampires this is a breath of fresh are.You cant really fall in love with a vampire and live happily ever after but you can learn something. It says a lot if the undead underline undead find you approachable but not worthy of food. A bitter sweet read you wont forget. Well worth the 8-10 dollars this paper back reprint cost.
    • 5/5
      Awesome book! I read this many years ago, and still find myself pulling it out to reread this book. Zoe is consumed by the illness of her mother, and the lack of a father due to her mother's illness. When Zoe meets Simon nothing else seems to matter. She finds herself sucked into a love that she can not pull herself away from. Zoe is torn between the dark and secretive Simon, and the mother that she is losing day by day. Very good book.
    • 3/5
      I read The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer to become more acquainted with vampires. I have never been much for fantasy, particularly of the darker side, but I was rather impressed with Klause’s story. Zoe the human and Simon the vampire are both believable characters and Klause does not need many descriptions and winding asides for us to feel comfortable with them. Quiet simply, Simon is able to help Zoe accept her mother’s early death and Zoe allows Simon to renew his strength and purpose. There is a bit of sadness, what teenage love story isn’t, but overall a sense of hope and understanding that gives both teenagers the opportunity to independently move forward. It’s the kind of light, sweet read I would recommend to most teens.
    • 4/5
      first line: "The house was empty."This is the second of Klause's books I've read (though the first she actually wrote). Both this and the other book (Blood and Chocolate) have unique voices, characters, and stories. However, I especially like the things they have in common: supernatural elements (vampires here, werewolves there) drawn from but not dependent upon folkloric roots; believable characters and relationships; and endings that manage to be satisfactory -- even happy -- without necessarily going where the readers would expect or the heroines would choose.Next, I'll have to snag myself a copy of her Freaks: Alive, on the Inside!
    • 4/5
      This story by Annette Curtis Klause entwines the two stories of Zoe and Simon, chapter by chapter. We start with Zoe - a lonely girl who is struggling with the steady decline of her mother to cancer and the loss of her best friend who is moving to a new city. She feels lost and unloved, and as though no one can understand her grief and pain. Enter Simon, one of the undead. A vampire who has flitted from city to city in pursuit of his monstrous brother, also a vampire. Simon struggles against his nature, believing himself to be unnatural - this is why he is unable to show his face to the sun, or cross running water. He is perfectly positioned to understand Zoe's plight, particularly because he feels as though his condition is a disease.This is a beautiful, poetic and ephemeral little book. The fleeting nature of Zoe and Simon's relationship and their brief sweet love is perfectly written. Unlike other reviewers I felt the ending of the book to be extremely appropriate and very moving. I loved the language that Klause used throughout the book, especially when describing Simon - such as: "He was young, more boy than man, slight and pale, made elfin by the moon. He noticed her and froze like a deer before the gun. They were trapped in each other's gaze. His eyes were dark, full of wilderness and stars. But his face was ashen. Almost as pale as his silver hair. With a sudden ache she realized he was beautiful..."Simon is a lovely, half-wild predecessor to Edward Cullen - from a time when vampires could love, but were never selfish enough to think they could stay with a human. Simon is written in an 'old-fashioned' sense, when the usual cliches of vampires applied - couldn't go out in the daylight, affected by crosses, definitely not sparkly. I much prefer him, although I know I am in the minority here!I am glad that in the wake of the Twilight phenomenon this book would have seen a wider audience, because it deserves to be read. It has two strong central characters, with genuine motivations, who affect each other's lives and learn from the other. The girl does not depend solely on the vampire for succour and support; although lonely and scared, she can stand on her own two feet. The vampire is not emasculated by his love for a human girl.The only part I wasn't too sure about was the info dump approach to Simon revealing his past in one long story, but this section was still absorbing and probably necessary to get out all at once considering the slightness of the book.I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely story and felt deeply affected by both Zoe and Simon. I would recommend it to anyone who does not like the cloying nature and poor writing of the Twilight books and their carbon copies on the market. This is the thinking girl's Twilight.

    • 2/5
      A YA vampire novel...

      17-year old Zoe's mother is dying of cancer, her father is emotionally shut down away from her, and her best friend is moving away...
      Then she meets a mysterious and attractive young man in the park late at night... unknown to her, Simon is actually a 17th-century vampire on a quest to destroy his murderous younger brother, also a vampire...

      a quick read.
    • 3/5
      I wasn’t actually looking for this book when I came across it. At the time, I was more familiar with Klause’s Blood and Chocolate. I decided to give it a chance when the summary got my attention. The story is told from both Simon and Zoë’s point of view. Zoë feels completely alone. Her mom has cancer and is in the hospital. Her dad is constantly by her mother’s side. Zoë is basically left on her own to deal with everything. On top of that, Zoë’s BFF is moving away, but it’s not like they talk about what’s really going on. Simon is a vampire who survives by being invisible and forgettable. Simon, who has been alone for a long time, just wants to be seen. In an odd sort of way Zoë and Simon are kindred spirits. This book really touches on the loneliness, hurt and anger we feel when something beyond our control takes hold of our lives. It also deals with issues like trying to mend broken relationships and not knowing where to start. The emotions that the characters feel are very realistic. This book also had a bit of mystery to it. There is a Serial Killer on the loose that has the town on edge. This is a good read. It only has 198 pages and took me about a day to read AND I have to mention that I didn’t expect the ending.

      Zoe's mother is dying and she's wasting away with grief--and then she meets Simon, a beautiful and tormented vampire.
    • 4/5
      Depending on the edition, the book cover can be a BIG LOSER…but the story is very good… not great literature, but it reads well. The characters are well thought out and very believable; Thirteen year old Zoe looks like she is keeping it together but is overwhelmed by issues that no teen should have to deal with alone; her mother is dying of cancer; her father is distracted and distant and shutting her out; he is emotionally unable to comfort her. Her best (and only) friend is moving across the country when she meets a young, handsome and hip vampire who loves her (or is he putting her under a spell) and asks for help to kill his evil brother. As a vampire, Simon has powers, including the power to force people to act according to his will, and several times I wondered if he was really the evil one. Like Cut the story involves an emotionally arrested father who is distant and unable to help a daughter who feels alone and needs him. And like Cut, the story ends with signs that father and daughter will rebuild their relationship. Fast paced and well crafted this is a good and chilling read. 12/06
    • 3/5
      A cute teen romance story. Although it is not very original, it does have substance and a really good lesson at the end. Good read for a rainy day but not a must have for your collection.
    • 3/5
      Summary: Zoe's life is falling apart, and she has no one to share it with: her mother is dying from cancer, her father is growing increasingly distant in his grief, and her best friend is moving away. When she meets a strange, pale boy named Simon, she's instinctively drawn to him, and even though she knows she shouldn't trust him, she feels like he really gets her, and understands the losses she's going through. And she's right, Simon does understand death... because he's a vampire, and has been alone on his quest to track a savage murderer through the centuries.Review: Maybe if I had read this in junior high, shortly after it was published, I would have had an easier time identifying with the characters. Maybe if I had read this before I got so thoroughly burnt out on vampires, I would have found it more interesting. Maybe if I had read this before I started reading critically (or cynically, take your pick), I would have found the writing style easier to deal with. Maybe a lot of things... but maybe not.This book does do one thing very well, namely portray Zoe's mix of emotions in the face of her mother's illness. I didn't identify with it personally (thank god!) but it felt very real and very raw, and I can see how it would really resonate with a reader who has lost a loved one to illness, especially at a young age. But all of the rest of the story, all of the vampire stuff and the "romance", does not hold up particularly well. It may have been new and interesting when it first came out, but it's showing its age in a world that is flooded with teen paranormal romances. Simon wasn't a particularly intriguing character to me, and their relationship felt rather forced and not particularly romantic. I also really didn't care for the writing style. I didn't notice it so much in Blood and Chocolate, the other one of Klause's books that I've read, but in The Silver Kiss the prose is weirdly blunt and choppy, with a lot of short, declarative sentences, and basically no nuance. It made it feel like it was written for a younger audience than teens, which created some cognitive dissonance with some of the more violent and bloody behavior it portrayed.This book is short, so it was a fast read, but in the final analysis it just didn't do enough for me. 2.5 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: It's one of the starting points of the current craze for teen vampire fiction, so it might be worth checking out for historical interest, but on its own merits as a vampire story, it hasn't aged well.

      The Silver Kiss wasn't really what I expected. I thought it was going to be another vampire love story where the girl falls for the vampire and they find some way to live happily ever after. This story, as much as it is fantasy, is so easy to relate to. You can see yourself as these characters...having the same feelings and the same reactions. Like I said, it wasn't at all what I expected...but I did enjoy it. I do wish it would have been a little bit longer. The beginning seemed a little too fast....and I found myself a little frustrated at times. WHY would you let some guy you don't even know come into your house (especially when you saw him sucking the blood from a bird the previous day) then kiss him and let him suck your blood. That just seemed bizarre to me.....but it was just a little flaw in the big picture, and after all...it is just a book :)

      I didn't care much for this book, but I'm in my 30's and perhaps it appeals better to tweens/teens. Story seemed a bit rushed and I couldn't really feel the characters. If you like Vampire Kisses, you'll probably like this one.
