The Silver Kiss is by Annette Curtis Klause. Zoe is a teenager whose mother is dying of cancer, her father is overwhelmed by her mother's illness, and her best friend is moving to another state. She needs someone to understand her loneliness and pain . Then Zoe meets Simon who understands pain and loneliness all too well. He is a vampire, hunting the vampire who turned him and killed his mother. Will these two lost souls be able to help each other? This is a very good book. It is not typical vampire fare and the ending is not what you would expect. If you are looking for Twilight, this book isn't it. It is gruesome, but a tender and touching fantasy, and deals well with the issue of the effects of terminal illness on a family.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity).
