So far of all 6, this one was the best. Not as lame, but still lame.

Alexander's parents make an unexpected trip to Dullsville announcing that they are selling the mansion and Alexander is moving back to Romania with them. Alexander and Raven make up a plan to ensure that no one wants to buy the mansion. Except the plan works too well and Raven's nemesis Trevor, his father wants to buy the mansion and bulldoze it! Alexander knows that when he turns 18 he will have his trust fund left to him by his grandmother so he can afford the mansion but he doesn't have enough money currently to make a down payment. The country club is having an auction and Alexander decides to sell of his artwork as a rising European artist, will they have enough for the down payment though?

These books just get better and better and for me this book was one of my favourites so far!
The summer is over and its time to return to school much to Raven's dismay! She has throughly enjoyed spending her summer break with her boyfriend Alexander. Spending the days sleeping in his coffin with him and the nights out on dates in the cemetery. The last thing Raven wants to do is return to school because it means she will have to face her enemy Trevor Mitchell.
This books gets me in the feels a little - Trevor always seems like the bad guy - the one that is always a bully and in your face. But in this book all because of a team work assignment where he and Raven have to work together you realise that he is a human. That he has feelings too and he is just trying to live up to what is expected of him. This makes these books even better to me as you can see the general themes of the real world in them... other than the fact that vampires are not real this book has a lot of real life themes.
In this book Raven finally gets the chance to meet the famous Mr and Mrs Sterling - Alexanders parents and she could never be more prepared to meet them - other than the usual nerves of meeting the boyfriends parents she is well and truely set to meet them. But will she live up to what they expect - considering they don't know she is one of the living and will they live up to Raven's expectations?
She falls in love with Mrs Sterling straight away and is devastated when Mr and Mrs Sterling leave town again. But they could be taking Alexander with them and this will never do as Raven cannot live without Alexander.
Alexander and Raven with the help of Matt, Becky and low and behold Trevor Mitchell (unbeknown to him) put some art works in an Auction to help save the Mansion - if the mansion isn't saved Alexander could be gone for good.
Will Raven and Alexander save the mansion? You'll just have to keep on reading to find out!

I'm so glad that I found this series, I enjoy Raven and all of the other characters in Dullsville. When I read the description of the book I became very excited knowing that Alexander's parents were going to finally make an appearance. I'll be honest this was probably not the strongest of the series, but the story was nice.
