The Silver Kiss

16-year-old Zoë's life is falling apart; her beautiful mother is dying of bone cancer, her father has shut her out, and her best friend, Lorraine, is drifting away. So when the mysterious and handsome Simon comes along with a more profound loneliness, a tentative friendship is formed. But does Simon have serious problems, Zoë wonders when she finds him with blood on his face, or just plain crazy, when he claims to be a 300 year old vampire? And is he right about the identity of a serial killer who has been leaving his mark on her formerly quiet hometown? Soon, Simon is the only thing Zoë can hold on to when everything else is falling apart. But what will become of him, the half mad vampire, once he has avenged his mother's death...Or if he fails?



In her own award-winning words, Klause has burdened these characters with authentic teenage immaturities and set them loose to navigate a storyline with no Hollywood ending. This is truly a romantic fantasy-horror for the young adult audience.
