About this book
The Angel of Death needs to get a life.
Archangel Azrael—AKA the Grim Reaper—spends his life around death, and his job is taking a toll on his happiness.
At the advice of his therapist, he decides a night out with the living is just what the doctor ordered. To his dismay, it's speed dating night at The Fang and Flask, and the hosts refuse to let him leave.
But when a bubbly blonde vampire catches his eye, she might just be the cure to this brooding angel’s woes.
Deirdre moves to LA for a change of scenery and a new flavor of the month. What better way to find Mr. Right Now than at a session of speed dating?
She sets her sights on a scrumptious dark angel, and he does not disappoint.
Deirdre has always had a hard time keeping her hands to herself, and the wicked-sharp scythe glinting in the bedroom light—the object he specifically tells her not to touch—is just too tempting.
Whoops. Now she's gone from undead to really dead.
Azrael has three days to get Deirdre's soul reconnected with her body, but if she can't get over herself and forgive and forget, she'll be stuck in the spirit realm for good.
If you like sassy heroines and brooding heroes, you'll love this opposites-attract paranormal romantic comedy!

The characters are well written, the engaging plot draws you in making you want more, so much to enjoy. There are also several funny moments. I enjoyed the ending, well worth reading to get...

Azrael and Deirdre were two sups that are no longer interested in love, finding their soulmates, or even dating. Yet somehow they found each other at a speed dating event. Of course, the road to happiness is never easy in a Carrie Pulkinen novel, but then again, that is what makes her stories so special. Pulkinen keeps finding new ways to make sups interesting, and in this case, her rendition of Azrael, the Archangel of death, was intriguing. Having the grumpy angel of death and his grim...

Who knew the grim reaper was a grievance counselor. Azrael doesn’t want to move on until he meets a full of life vampire. Deirdre is sassy until she can’t keep her hands to herself. Together they both work through their grief to find they are truly soulmates. I really enjoyed this book, it was fun to read, now I need to go back to book one.
