I found this book enjoyable. I agree with the other reviews. I think that there were tomany things going on, the plot wasnt well developed and the same goes for the charactors. But i still enjoyed it none the less.

Mortal Kiss Alice Moss 9780857510563 Books Reviews

it is a good story about a vampire guy and a chick who is curious about him it is alot like twilight
This was an amazing book I couldn't put it down!!!!!!!! The characters just drew you in also the mystery, suspense, and the booming love between Finn and Faye. Awesome book!!!!!!,
I wanted to like it...but couldn't. It was just not even worth the time to read. There were about 9 different POVs. That's way too many. There needed to be more character building for sure, and more relationship building. Everything was pretty predictable too.
If you were a member of stardoll, you got to read the book for free. So this is my "review" of it.
I really liked it. It was interesting. Faye's father is missing, and she's living with her aunt(?) (I haven't read this in months). Mercy, a "rich socialite", is moving to their town with her son, Lucas, and her chauffeur Ballard. Liz, Faye's best friend, has a crush on Mercy's son Lucas. Lucas has a crush on Faye. Around the same time, a motorcycle gang comes to town. One of the son of the members is Finn Crowley, who also has a thing for Faye. But there's something about her which reminds him of his past. Things start to strangely happen in their town wolf appearance, missing kid, creepy Ballard doing strange things... and they all have to do with Faye, Finn, and Lucas (and Finn's dad and Lucas's mom).

I would have given the book a 4 out of 5 but there were some problems I found with it.
Stardoll members got to debate what happens. Most of the members on stardoll is around 13. They picked the "hotter guy" for Faye, which ticked me off, because I wanted Faye to be with the guy who she actually liked for him being him, and not because of how he looked.
And you'll find yourself angry at Liz, Faye's best friend, in the book too.
How did this book ever make it past an editor??? That was my first thought after I finished it. This book made me want to rant and rave. It is just so utterly, ridiculously, laughably bad!!!

Imagine the following scene

Ms. Moss spends a cozy evening in front of the television watching a double episode of "The Vampire Diaries". At some point she thinks to herself "Hmmm ... I could probably write something like that! I'll just change the name of the town from Mystic Falls to Winter Mill. And my protagonist will be called Faye instead of Elena.She should be a brunette, too, and she could live with her aunt --- just like Elena. Faye's mother could be dead and her father ... oh, I know --- he's an archeologist who's travelling all over the world all the time. That way he'll be out of the picture, too. And how about I make the mother of Faye's best friend the town sheriff? No, wait, that's what they did on "The Vampire Diaries". Okay, I'll just make the best friend's father the sheriff then ... Oh, and there have to be two boys who have just moved to town. One should be confident and extroverted ... kind of a flirt. And the other should be more quiet and mysterious. Now, what could I call them? Damon and Stefan? Nah, Lucas and Finn are much better. They can't be vampires, though ... that would be a little too obvious. Maybe werewolves --- at least one of them, and I'll figure out something for the other one, too. Of course there has got to be some mysterious connection between them ... oh, and they both have to fall in love with Elena ... no, wait ... Faye. Oooh, and how about I write the story so that Elena ... ugh, no ... Faye looks *exactly* like Katherine ... no, damn .. Eve --- the former girlfriend of Stefan? Shoot, Finn I meant ...."

What I mean by this is that Alice Moss certainly "borrowed" a little from the first season of the tv-show "The Vampire Diaries". Now, I realize that in this genre most authors do not exactly bring anything new to the table so that alone wouldn't have been so bad. And, you know, Ms. Moss did try to put a few ideas of her own into this book ... they just weren't all that good ...

The style of writing is very simple and predictable --- there are no surprises, and not a hint of complexity or anything like that. The dialogue often seemed a little wooden and not very believable. I do not know whether the bad dialogue was just because of a mediocre translation (I did read the German version which I got through Vine) or if it is as bad in the original version.

Throughout the book things happen that the reader is led to believe will have an import on the story ... only to then never be mentioned again. For example, a dead body is found in the woods at the beginning of the story. The police warns everyone not to go into the forest, and there's a lot of talk about it all. Then, suddenly, the body is never mentioned again --- apparently it doesn't matter anymore who he was or why and how he died.

Then there is the way Faye's aunt Pam reacts after being told that werewolves and various creatures from hell really do exist. I mean, there are dozens of possible reactions to something like that -- wild laughter, crying, screaming, fainting ... possibly just total disbelief. But aunt Pam simply says something like "Oh, imagine something like that coming to our sleepy little town" ... Say what? Somehow I don't think that would be a very probable reaction ...

Ooooh, and let's not forget that Darth-Vader-Luke-Skywalker-I-am-your-father-type-moment around page 240 or so ... at that point I seriously considered not reading the rest of the book. But some bit of morbid curiosity made me read on ... and let's just say that the rest of the book wasn't any better than what came before. In fact, it might have gotten worse --- hard to say, really.

Let's move on to characterization. Or, rather, that's what I would say if there had actually *been* any measure of characterization. Unfortunately, there is not. Faye, Liz, Lucas, Finn --- all of them stay shallow and lifeless, and except for Finn maybe I didn't find any of them to be particularly likable. In fact, I really disliked Liz --- she's childish and immature and very annoying. There is one scene where she throws a tantrum and yells at Faye because she dared talk to Lucas at a party (Liz accuses her of flirting with Lucas) --- after Liz had asked her that *very same day* to be nicer to Lucas. Speaking of Lucas, he comes across as spoiled and arrogant in the first half of the book, although I have to admit it gets a little better during the second half. Then there's quiet and rather introverted Finn. You see, I can't really say much about the characters because there just isn't much to say beyond the fact that all of them had me rolling my eyes more than once.

The author doesn't really waste any words on trying to tell (or show) her readers *why* her characters think or do the things they think or do. And believe me, some of those things were so stupid or downright-dumb that I wanted to smack their heads together or shake some sense into them. That's probably one of the reasons why they stayed so flat and one-dimensional. I really don't have any tolerance for brainless characters ...

Liz and Faye spend large parts of the story thinking about clothes and make-up, they go shopping or get ready for parties. Sure, normal things for teenage girls to do. BUT ... if that is suddenly more important than the fact that more and more people around them are behaving strangely, or the disappearance of one of their friends then that doesn't ring true for me. Hey, my dad's walking around like a zombie and our friend has just disappeared without a trace, but you know what? Let's get ready for the band festival first ...! Seriously, there are scenes where the two of them talk about something strange or bad that has happened, and then suddenly they change the subject to the cute shirt one of them wants to buy.

There are some books by first-time authors that are so well-written and engaging that it's hard to believe they haven't written at least a dozen books before. And then there are books like "Mortal Kiss" where it is painfully obvious from start to finish that the author lacks writing experience. I also sometimes thought that Ms. Moss couldn't really decide what kind of a story she wanted to tell. I'm sure it all made perfect sense in her head, but it didn't make all that much sense to me ...

To be honest, "Mortal Kiss" felt to me a little like a first draft of a book that could have had potential --- after it had been corrected by an editor and then thorougly overhauled by the author.

I really can't give this book more than a 1-star-rating. I'm sure there are people out there who will like "Mortal Kiss" but I'm not one of them. A few "borrowed" ideas combined with a slightly interesting myth and wrapped up in mediocre writing and implausible dialogue ... that's just not enough for me!
This book had a great plot and it was a quick easy read. However, I didn't fall in love with it, I was put off my some off the characters and felt the story jumped around too much. All in all, would I read other books in the series if they were written? Yes, eventually.
WOW! in the unfortunate sense. There was absolutley no character building, no decent development of the story line, and I could have used a lot less of Faye and Liz's "friendship" banter back and forth. Was this written by a 12 year old?

I have never written a review, much less trash someone's work but the fact that I paid $10 bucks for this was ridiculous. Don't do it!
I found this book enjoyable. I agree with the other reviews. I think that there were tomany things going on, the plot wasnt well developed and the same goes for the charactors. But i still enjoyed it none the less.
