Customer Reviews

Simply good!

I think this was another great story in the Dead End Dating series. Lil continues to be one of my favorite characters. I'm very curious if Ty will be around in the next book but, i guess we don't have to wait long to see. The story is just a fun escape from the real world to the vampy world.

Fun Fabulous Fantasy Just Grew Fangs!

Kimberly Raye quickly became one of my favorite authors with her first installment in her Dead End Dating series, Dead End Dating: A Novel of Vampire Love (Dead End Dating, Book 1). The series falls under the genre of romantic fiction meets comedy, with a supernatural twist. Lil Marchette, the lead character in this series is an out-of-this-world super-hot super-vamp with an exquisite taste for fashion... and for men. Although love is a nearly non-existent emotion for born vampires, this 200 year old fashionista from the other world has a thriving match making service and a thriving crush on the totally off-limits totally hot, made-vamp Ty Bonner. "Your Coffin or Mine?" is chock full of the usual NYC socialite Lil Marchette antics, as our fearless heroine auditions for a reality dating series in order to beef up her client list. It is there, at an open casting call, that her feelings for Ty are truly tested. This is a fast and easy read, with non-stop laughs that will keep you wanting more. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a little escape from reality, fearless other-world females, and Bergdorf Blondes NYC social-clique humor.

4 stars

Countess Lil's plate is full trying to keep her credit cards paid down enough to continue with her steady shopping therapy trips without humiliation, keep her parents off her back about providing pure blood grandchildren, trying to help her brother's wedding to the mortal Mandy come off while appeasing her mother who wants Lil to match said brother with another born vampire, and now, she needs to find Ty, the made vampire bounty hunter she has fallen for, albeit unwisely, and who is captive and mentally asking her for help. Vicariously feeling his pain is only added incentive to accomplish the goal, but she genuinely cares for him, even if the relationship should not be pursued. As Ty's time runs out, Lil keeps on searching, not counting the cost, much, and running into trouble. **** Making a date with Dead End Dating means you have room in your schedule for mental fun. Lil and her cohorts keep you chuckling, even in high tension moments. Just relax and have another bite of brain candy. **** Amanda Killgore

Lil Returns!

I was happy to see the third book in this series come out. I really enjoyed the first two, and this is just an extension of those two. Our favorite matchmaking born vampire is back and better than ever. In this fast and furious book Lil is forced to do a number of things we thought we'd never see her do; kicking butt, embarrassing herself to get off a reality TV show, helping set up her brother's wedding to a human and matchmaking the most unmatchable couples. During all of time she is working to find her lost hunky bounty hunter (Ty). This page-turner will take you moments to get through and in enjoyable from start to finish.

lighthearted romantic romp

In Manhattan professional matchmaker BV (beautiful vampiress) Countess Lilliana Arabella Guinevere du Marchette (call her Lil) is hired by a reality TV show to find a match for a famous bachelor. However, that project seems relatively tame when compared to a telepathic message she received from bounty-hunting vampire Ty for help; He vanished several months ago without a trace after a glorious one night with Lil. As Lil tries to locate Ty in order to rescue him for a second night and who knows what else, she meets homicide detective Ash, who is not human or vampire. They work together seeking to find Ty. At the same time the human fiancé of her brother pleads with Lilliana (not quite one of her best buds yet so Lil is inappropriate) to find the right wedding dress and her mother tries to matchmake her DEAD AND DATELESS daughter with any mortal, vampire, or other ilk as long as they are male. The latest adventures of that DED (DEAD END DATING) BV Countess Lil is, for the most part, a lighthearted romantic romp although the Ty subplot is a bit darker and much more serious in tone. Fans of the serious will appreciate Lil's fun Manhattan frolic as few authors combine chick lit shtick with vampire bites better than Kimberly Raye does. Harriet Klausner
