Summary from Warner Forever

There’s a new vamp in town…

Dear Mom,

I might be a wee bit late for Cousin Missy’s wedding. It’s been a tough week. Turns out, my blind date from hell was literally from hell. Guy bit me. Next thing I know, I’m being chased all over the city by vampire hunters. And did I mention that I got fired, too?

Bright side-I met a man. Thierry de Bennicoeur. How great is that name? Anyway, he’s sexy, six-hundred years old, and a tad suicidal, but no one’s perfect, right? And we have a deal-he’s gonna show me the ropes of the vampire world, and I’m supposed to help him end his existence. Or maybe I’ll just try to convince him life is worth living – no small challenge with the mostly immortal, let me tell you. I’ll admit it’s a complicated relationship. But with any luck, I just might have a date for that wedding after all…

Hugs and Kisses,

Sarah

Opinion

Thinking about writing this review I was thinking I’d say, “Although I like these books, I probably won’t read the rest in the series.” But thinking back over it reminded me how much of a fun read it was. It was fun. It didn’t evoke real emotion other than joviality. There was a surprise twist at the end that I didn’t expect in the least. Normally, I like something that is a little more serious in tone, but this was a nice change up. Expect more of the series to come later. If you’re looking for an light read after a hard day I suggest this. It doesn’t really have a romantic element, so  just don’t expect it.
