Toni is determined to help her best friend, Sabrina. The two have been close since they were dumped in a boarding school. Toni is now a day security guard for the Vamps. Toni and her best friend were attacked by Malcontents, aka bad vampires.

Ian McPhie is a five hundred and some odd year old vampire. He was turned when he was fifteen, and being treated like a child gets old after a couple hundred years. Fortunately, Roman Dragonesti’s Stay Awake formula enabled him to age so that he looks about twenty seven.

Now that Ian looks old enough to marry, he is determined to find his perfect soul mate. He enlists the help of his friend, Vanda, to find a vampire woman. He is much more popular than even he expected. After being attacked by the Malcontents, Sabrina told authorities what happened and now is locked in a psych ward. Toni is determined to not only free her, but convince her that she is not crazy and that vampires do exist.

This book is absolutely hilarious at times, especially in regards to Ian’s adventure in online dating. The women he attracts are both aggressive and bizarre, and that only includes the human ones, the vampires are in another league. Vanda’s club, The Horny Devils, is truly unique, complete with vampire strippers and former harem members working the bar. There is more to this story than a vampire’s adventures in dating. Sabrina’s plight and Toni’s efforts to free her have some hair raising moments, as do the frequent attacks by the Malcontents in their effort to get the Stay Awake formula. The characters are vividly written and one particular little boy will steal your heart as well as each and every scene he is in.
