Last year, we got nada. Since we females carry the actual were-gene, we can mate with any creature and still produce a were-baby. We NUNS feel a social responsibility to keep our race as pure as possible and so we prefer humans. Not firsthand, mind you. While I am now a hot, hip, happening vampire, I was raised in a very sheltered environment.
She spoke from actual experience. Our superior DNA obviously outranks their extremely weak genes, resulting in a pure were-child. Surely a double shot of were DNA would really kick ass? Unlike you vamps, we only have a small window for procreation. Fifty years, to be exact. Desperation always makes one less choosy. Besides, male werewolves are bossy and overbearing and extremely territorial.
Our reproductive system requires a barrage of stimuli. Forget those sensitive, quiet, thoughtful, equal opportunity types that are all the rage these days. We need old-fashioned men who are blatantly physical and very domineering. The more turned on we are, the more likely we are to conceive. The second is payable once everyone is matched up? I usually asked for a third up front, but if Viola wanted to dish out half, who was I to argue details? That was my motto.

Evie was my devoted assistant. She had great taste in belts, lived for the latest MAC lip gloss, and could spot a fake Fendi at twenty paces. Had I been a lesbian human instead of a heterosexual born vampire with a screaming biological clock, I would have married her on the spot. 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. 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. 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.

Mar 29, Ashley FL rated it liked it Recommends it for: I only gave this one three stars because it is about vampires and vampires automatically merit three stars. This is one where I loved the concept but the writer just couldn't pull it off as well as she should have. She creates a great little mythology and apparently this is a series but her writing is just too self-absorbed for me to spend more time on it.
I will just say that it is not worthy of being in the same genre as the "Blade" movies. Anna, don't be fooled by the fact that the Nerd series I only gave this one three stars because it is about vampires and vampires automatically merit three stars. Anna, don't be fooled by the fact that the Nerd series writer has written the glowing cover quote -- it isn't up to her standards or, rather, not up to the early ones; it might be comparable with the later ones.

Instead of a couple of paragraphs of quips and blundering about, it has pages of blundering about. You've just about lost the plot and what's happening by the time the story is re-approached.
The stupidity is supposed to be ditzy and girlish, I struggle with these books. The stupidity is supposed to be ditzy and girlish, but it just doesn't do it for me. It drives me nuts. The romantic effect is just plain frustrating, and goes on and on for books worth, making it pointless and trite. I might, and that's a big might, manage to cautiously stalk around the next book, but I expect that to be a looong time coming.

Guess which she puts the higher priority on? Lil's family shenanigans continue to develop, much to the reader's although not necessarily Lil's amusement.

But then Lil is accused of a brutal murder and has to go on the run, while trying to find a way to clear her name and find people dates. I'm not finding these humour books funny at all and this was one of the worst I've read.
Lil is a dreadful character-ditzy, irritating, moronic, whiny and I wanted to put a stake in her myself.

Plot-wise there's a bunch of happenings stuffed in here, much more than the first, yet it all manages to weave together tirelessly, donating ample time to each plot point but never overcrowding the pot. Dead End Dating was a fun book with an amusing character that didn't annoy, but in this sequel Liv wasn't as likable.
First of all, who takes a murder investigation so lightly when they waltz around town? At first she realizes the seriousness of the situation, but this never seems to last. I can be more understanding on needing to scope out how her new-born biz is doing, but her restless itch to have fun and not take the cops more seriously grated on my nerves.
When a main character acts that stupid, it gets a little frustrating.
Dead and Dateless (Dead End Dating, #2) by Kimberly Raye
An even bigger gripe I held was her mother. In the first book her setting Liv up and being oddly dysfunctional made a cute read, but this time the undead's parents get a lot more of the spotlight, and not in a good way. I'm sure Raye wrote the mother to be amusing, but instead it was annoying how she seemed to ignore the fact her only daughter was wanted for killing a man and was a refugee from the police.
Come on, clearly she could be forgiven and pardoned for missing tea brunches and the weekly family hunt considering the circumstances? And then Liv placing those things - that she loathes anyway - above her own freedom couldn't sit well with me. Relationship-wise, Raye fortunately delved much further into the relationship with Ty, giving the two plenty of interaction time. I have no complaints in this department, for the writer did a great job showing expected discomfort, lustful situations, and even funnier misunderstandings.
The ending, as before, leaves the couple as an open door that could go either way. Overall I was disappointed with the sequel. It's still written in the same manner Raye painted previously, but some of the situations were so over the top they just repelled the saner side of me. I find it impossible to root for main characters who act stupid much of the time, and I just wanted to slap the mother every other chapter, gritting my teeth.
There also seemed to be less laugh out loud humor, even if it was attempted. It's worth a read, and you don't have to read the original book first - although it's recommended - to start the series, but I'm hoping the third book will be much better. Jan 27, Renee Rearden rated it liked it.
