The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause

She is simultaneously drawn to and afraid of him. Zoë keeps bumping into him when she’s lurking in alleys and abandoned parks late at night. Luckily, a mysteriously well-dressed and handsome homeless teenager, Simon, rolls into town. WILL NO ONE THINK OF POOR ZOË? SHE HAS NO ONE TO TALK TO ABOUT HER BOY PROBLEMS. Her mom is dying in the hospital, her father is trying to hold all of his shit together, and her one friend is selfishly moving away. She’s extremely pretty yet has only one friend, and she’s emotionally distant from her family. Zoë is your typical vampire book heroine.

Anyway, all I’m saying is that you probably shouldn’t be emulating the vampire stained glass coloring book on your book covers. I tried to be progressive and make the subjects more racially diverse than were depicted in the samples, but it backfired and ended up looking like KKK propaganda, with the black vampire climbing in through the white girl’s bedroom window. My particular cover was this weirdly blurry cover that I thought was damaged? But it turns out it’s meant to be like that.Īll of the covers remind me of this vampire stained glass coloring book Santa once brought me. There are a variety of covers to choose from, all of them bad. Therefore, we proudly present the DNF (Did Not Finish) Book Report! Usually we just decide not to review it, but sometimes we feel the need to explain why we couldn’t finish. But sometimes we just can’t finish a book. Here at FYA Headquarters, we try to read and review every book we receive from publishers and every book we purchase or check out from the library.
