If you liked the other books in this series, then you will prabably find this one at least mildly entertaining. If his is your first book by Kimberly Raye, I would recommend starting with the first book in this series Dead End Dating: A Novel of Vampire Love instead.
The main problem I have with the third book is that it doesn’t cover any new ground either in story or character. Lil says and does the same old same old. I wish something would happen to shake up her notions about the world and what it means to be a vampire. Possible spoiler – nothing much happens with Ty either. I was left very unsatisfied with their relationship after all that happened in the last book Dead and Dateless: A Novel of Vampire Love (Dead End Dating, Book 2). I ended up feeling like this was filler until the next book or Kimberly Raye couldn’t think up a good plot to follow book two Dead and Dateless.
So why give it 3 stars? I still like the characters of Lil and her friends, family, and customers at Dead End Dating. However, the next book better have a good plot, or I might stop reading books by this author.

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.

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.

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. ****

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.
