Reviews 10/25/09 - TrueBloodNet - "...a wonderful guide to balancing fantasy and passion with your ordinary life…fun, humorous, and has an underlying message that I can definitely get on board with. If you’ve had people poo-poo your vampire passions, this book assures you that you are not alone and that your interests are totally normal." 10/28/09 - Tales of Whimsy - "Diana Laurence's book is not just funny it is oddly believable. I was so immersed I had to remind myself it was fiction...a smile-inducing repertoire that is full of wit, snappy titles, and fantastically clever pop culture references. I literally spent the entire time I read this book smiling and chuckling...Give this one a chance. It is so wickedly amusing." 11/7/09 - TrueBlood-Online (The Vault) - "The ultimate vampire dating guide…highly entertaining." 10/29/09 - Metroreader - "As a mature reader of romance, I loved the sense from Laurence that the attraction for vampires and from vampires is not simply physical attraction, but rather honors the experience and personality of those who have lived and loved a bit in this life...Laurence gives the reader lots of upbeat, practical tips regarding life and romance....breezy, refreshing style...a quick read - fun, sweet, and spicy." 11/2/09 - Michelle's Masterful Musings - "The beauty of this book is that it does not take itself seriously. Ms. Laurence inflects humor and lightheartedness into every page. On the surface, it may seem like another frivolous vampire book, but underneath, one gets more than just a tongue-in-cheek book about loving vampires. It offers advice on how to embrace what is truly important to you and how you do not need to apologize to others for your likes and dislikes....this could almost be termed a women empowerment how-to book. " 10/30/09 - YA Vampire Books - "Laurence's writing is clever, witty and charming. I recognized myself in several statements, she definitely hits the nail on the head more than once! Sometimes I even wondered if the author could read my mind, she knew exactly how I reacted, felt and thought when reading certain parts of the book." 10/16/09 - Night Owl Romance - "Top Pick!
