Pretty much what it reads on the tin: A killer first date! A mix of our couples, a match of crazy that loves to throw itself in at every available turn, while people are trying to get in a good time finally, around all the insanity happening in the shotgun pace of the books themselves.

Delightful! ( )

Very cute short addition to the series. I like seeing more of these two couples and the chaos that surrounds their relationships. I also liked seeing something else supernatural going on. ( )

A short story set in the world of the Drake Chronicles, falling between Out for Blood and Bleeding Hearts. In it, Lucy and Nick, despite the fact that they've been friends their whole lives, and dating for over a month, have never actually been on a proper date. So they plan a double date to the town carnival with Hunter and Quinn, but for Lucy and the Drakes, even a simple date is never free of the shadow of the feral Hel-Blair vampires. This was a fun story, very much in keeping with the rest of the series in that it feels quite a bit like an episode of Buffy. There's more magic-y supernatural stuff than I was expecting, based on the rest of the series, but it didn't seem out of place... and although it's maybe a little spoilery (although the spoiler is who winds up together in the earlier books, which is not really a matter of any suspense), it would make a good introduction to the tone and fun of the series.
