"The Silver Kiss" by Annette Curtis Klause

Annette Curtis Klause's book, " The Silver Kiss" moved every tension in my body, rippling hidden sensations within its fictional myth. The theme portrays a sense of isolation, though; in the same instance, a sense of nonisolation. Clearly, eventhough you are alone, you are not alone; there will always be that one person who is with you at all times. In the book, Zoe's mother is dying of cancer, her best friend, Lorraine, is leaving and her father seems to be excluding her from her mother's hospital bedside. No one dares speak to Zoe about the family tragedy, and she is isolated by grief, anger and fear. Simon, with him being a vampire, constantly feels detached from the outside world.

Annette Klause has a peculiar yet firm writing style with her nonexistance of hearty words however; she writes as if anyone who reads her book, can becomes her book. She writes "The Silver Kiss"as though the actions would potray and sound in the real world though; the book has fictional value. Relating to this book, I can imagine myself as Zoe, the main character, for we have the same hair color and eye color, and we share some of the same emotions. I could near to feel exactly what she was feeling throughout the reading, even when "...she felt like yelling at a God she wasn't even sure existed. Am I being punished? What did I do," telling about her mother. Annette also gives a sense of what the characters are feeling as well when Zoe sobs "But we never do anything together now, she thought, not even be unhappy together. He makes decisions without asking me, like i'm a little child."  Simon says, "It unnerved him when her eyes caught him like that, but it brought something else he couldn't explain, something that didn't seem normal for him. he wanted it again. He wanted to discover what it was."

Zoe, a calm normal 16 year old girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes, is baffled at the thought of losing her mother, confused and angry at her dad for not letting her see her mother at her bedside.
Simon, a 300 ire with longish white, almost silver hair and dark brown eyes, runs into Zoe one night at the park, shortly feeling sense with he.
Christopher, Simons brother, also a vampire, has been causing much trouble in the town though in the body of a six year old.

For most the setting begins and ends in the park, where Zoe runs off to think, to be isolated from her family. In the park is also where Zoe and Simon first meet along with depart. Though just a simple park, it was a place of sentimental value, the place and her mom use to go everyday when she was little, the place where she could always turn to when she needed to think or to just be alone, the place where she incountered and where she lost the love of her life.  The book ends in the park, where the best part of the book comes to live. People exspect a book of vampires to end with the vampire changing the human lover in a vampire so they can live happily every after. Not this book; "The Silver Kiss" has a way prominent ending, being sorrowful but actually much content. The ending does not just leave you with another book you have read, instead it leaves you with thinking, wondering more.

Reading "The Silver Kiss", everyone can learn to enjoy what they have, not to take what the have for granted, to cherish every moment. Everyone should definatly read this book, infact all of her book, of Annette Curtis Klause. This book will leave you marveling, it left me in tears with a smile:')
