Lil is still a fun, strong character in the third book of her Dead End Dating Series. There were several parts of this book that had me laugh out loud, and that is always a good thing. After the first book in the series, I reported that I felt this almost felt like a pale imitation of MJD's Undead series. Well, I must say I enjoyed this book much more than I did the newest Betsy book, "Undead and Uneasy". This book is so strong with its Vampire Dating Service plots and the interesting people Lil meets through her job (and via her family) that I think the series could revolve soley among those aspects, and remain a comic vampire tale. YCOM? actually messes up when it becomes lost in the 'mystery' aspects involving her kinda boyfriend Ty's disappearance. The resolution to this mystery is tired, boring, and too forced. I found myself not really caring about this afterthought of a plot. But I couldn't wait to get back to the juicy bits about Killer, the cat, and the wedding plans for her brother and soon to be sister in law. And of course any parts involving clients of Dead End Dating. This is still a fairly solid, (although lightweight) series, three novels deep. I can only hope that more of what makes this book strong, finds its way into further volumes. Ms. Raye should realize she doesn't necessarily need to follow the formula of other sucessful vampire fiction to create her own gem here. ( )
