As a 500-year-old "born" vampire, Lil Marchette is at the top of the pecking order as far as vampire society is concerned. But when a girl, even an undead one, has a yen for Prada, Gucci and all things Chanel...well, let's just say our heroine is a stylish undead countess with some serious VISA bills to pay. Always a quick thinker, as well as a fly- by-the-seat-of-her-pants kind of vamp, Lil has opened her own dating service, Dead End Dating, to make ends meet. She offers full-service hook-ups for the otherworldly lovelorn, as well as for the occasional human.
Just as Lil is about to close an especially lucrative contract with a group of female werewolves in desperate need of 27 hot, alpha human men, the cops literally break down her door with an arrest warrant accusing Lil of murdering a former client. Man-handled, cuffed, read her rights and on her way to the station, she panics and escapes (no big problem with her super vampire strength) and goes on the lam. Hiding out first on her parents' estate and then with her flakey brother and his human girlfriend, Lil eventually ends up knocking on Ty Bonner's door.
Ty, a "made" vampire, has something of a past with Lil. She's attracted to him, but, here's the rub -- "made" vamps can't procreate. And Lil needs a solid mating with a "born" vamp, not only to please her parents, but also because she won't settle for anything less than Mr. Right. Even though Ty is hiding her from the cops and helping her to solve her client's murder at great personal risk to himself, Lil keeps her distance, even though the sight and smell of him are about to drive her nuts. Crazy lustful thoughts aside, there's also the very real problem that someone who knows her fairly well is trying to set her up for murder. But why? Determined to solve the vicious crime, save her fledgling business and keep Ty out of her bed, Lil forges full steam ahead. But with her eyes only half-open, her senses clouded and her common sense compromised by unrequited lust, Lil might be coming to the end of her long and fashionable existence.
Fun and frolics abound! Mostly lighthearted and silly, DEAD & DATELESS follows up it's predecessor, DEAD END DATING, as a romantic comedy you're pretty much always in the mood for.
