Just One Bite

Lil Marchette is a vampire who runs the hottest matchmaking service in Manhattan. She pairs off the lonely and the desperate, and sometimes the dead. A local reality dating show, Manhattan's Most Wanted, keeps her client list full of new faces.

One of those clients is Vinnie Balducci, the biggest, baddest vampire in the Big Apple and the Brooklyn representative for the Snipers of Otherworldly Beings. His demand is simple: Lil finds him the perfect woman, or she ends up swimming with the fishes.

Trouble arrives from another direction too. Three demon brothers, the Princes, are poking around Lil's office. They are tracking a rogue spirit that wants out of the land down under (not Australia) and is trying to escape by possessing an unsuspecting human.

Lil soon learns who the host is: her loyal assistant, Evie. She now has two problems on the clock. Evie's soul is at risk of eternal damnation, and Vinnie's ultimatum hangs over Lil's own afterlife.

A comic paranormal romp with a matchmaking setup and a mob-movie threat, it keeps asking whether Lil can save Evie and herself before Vinnie's patience runs out.
