SHE'D LIKE HER BLOOD BOTTLED, PLEASE!The sassiest vampire in all of Manhattan, Lil Marchette, is the owner of Dead End Dating--a matchmaking service for hip, intelligent singles like herself. After only three months, business is booming, and she can finally pay her bills (or, more important, feed a hungry cosmetics addiction). But when one of her clients turns up dead (as in never coming back), Lil is named as the prime suspect.Murder?Sure, she's a vampire, but she can't even work up her nerve when it comes to blood-sucking. Hacking somebody to pieces is so out of the question.To make matters worse, Lil must also contend with a pack of werewolves who ask--no, demand--that she find each one a tall, dark, and handsome mate before the next full moon. Plus, the to-die-for-if-I wasn't-already-dead Ty Bonner, a lusciously sexy lover but totally unsuitable eternity mate, is never far from her midnight fantasies. But Lil has no time for such thoughts. She must prove her innocence and focus on pairing off the dead and the furry--and maybe stake a claim to her own tasty true love."Kimberly Raye is hot, hot, hot!"--Vicki Lewis Thompson, author of Nerds Like It HotFrom the Paperback edition.

BEING DEAD CAN KILL A SOCIAL LIFE!For Lil Marchette, the owner of Manhattan's premier dating service for vampires (and a dazzling denizen of the dark herself), death is all in a night's work. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than matching up vamps to pay the bills and fund Lil's cosmetics addiction. Dare she add actual humans to the mix?

Problem is, she and Ty have an intense mental connection and she's sensing he's in deep trouble. Even worse, she soon finds herself heading for MMW's grand finale (cameras are so not a vamp's best friend). The race is on as Lil struggles to save Ty (and herself) before all hell breaks loose."Lil is a likable mix of Bridget Jones, Carrie Bradshaw and Dracula--charming, sweet, stylish, with just a hint of fang."--Parkersburg News and SentinelFrom the Paperback edition.
