I was planning on doing a review of the whole Vampire Kisses series but there are nine books and it would have ended up being a novella! Instead, I am going to just quickly summarize each book and then do a review on the final book. Also there will be a spoiler at the end because I can’t do this review without it, I’ve waited years for the end of this series!!!

Immortal Hearts Review
Immortal Hearts is the final book in the Vampire Kisses series.
In the final book, Raven is now seventeen and more in love with Alexander than ever before. She keeps bringing up him changing her and he never really wants to talk about it. Alexander’s sister Stormy heads to Dullsville for a visit with her brother. Raven worries that Stormy won’t like her and that they won’t have anything in common. When the day finally comes for them to meet things go smoothly. Storm loves the room that Raven has designed for her and she and Raven have lots in common. The one thing that makes Raven feel bad is that Storm wants to hang out with Luna, who isn’t exactly nice to Raven and wants Alexander for herself. Another conflict is Trevor, Raven’s enemy since they were kids. Although they don’t get along and Trevor constantly picks on Raven’s goth appearance, it is obvious that he secretly likes her. Jagger also tries to throw a wrench in her relationship with Alexander by offering all the things that she wants, except she would have to leave Alexander to be with him. Raven begins to question what it would be like to be a vampire in the Sterling family. Would she be a good vampire? What will she be giving up? Does Alexander really want to be with her for all of eternity? Will he ever change her? Will she ever become what she has always wanted to be?
I have been reading this series since for years and although it’s not what you would consider great literature, they are fun and easy reads. I really enjoyed this final book and I thought it had the perfect ending for the series. I loved the relationship between Alexander and Raven. It was just so sweet and fun to read about and watch evolve. I also really loved the friendship between Raven and Becky. I feel like this book touched on their friendship the most out of the series and we really got to see the way the felt about each other. They were more like sisters and didn’t want to be without each other. I enjoyed the humor in this book as well. I found myself laughing out loud during some of the scenes. I just love the general flow of the series. There wasn’t ever anything too dark or serious where you would think something bad could happen and I liked that. I liked the balance between things being serious to an extent and things being light and fun, it’s the way life should be.
I don’t want to say anymore. These books are so short but so much happens in them, They are fun and I think they could be enjoyed by anyone who loves YA, vampires, teen romance, short and quick reads. I gave all the books four or five stars on Goodreads and would definitely recommend them.
Keep reading…Lola
SPOILER: Don’t read if you don’t want to know the ending, although it may or may not be a surprise for you, I was expecting it.
