I found the characters boring and the dialogue simplistic. Although it is marketed as YA, I think it is more suited to a younger age group.
I always include major spoilers (hidden), to help with my memory issues. Read them at your peril!
More easy-reading shenanigans with Betsy the unconventional vampire queen, her fiancé and friends. As their wedding approaches and is then postponed again, Betsy and Eric fall out when he realises that she can hear his thoughts when they are having sex. Betty's half sister, Laura, is becoming less religious and more like her mother, the devil. A killer is on the loose, the driveway killer is abducting women from their driveway and killing them. Betsy, Laura and the ghost of one of the victims save the day
M.A.S.H meets James Herriot meets the evil empire (bureaucrats and politicians). Hilarious, awful, unbelievable ( although I believe every word of it), terribly sad, brilliant.
My favourite funny modern romance. The audio version is brilliantly narrated by Julia Barrie with a perfect down-to-earth Yorkshire voice. The romance itself is a good one, with an endearing heroine, who returns to the bosom of her very odd family after an unfortunate accident. But it's the eccentric supporting characters that lift this story above so many others. Some are charming, some very irritating indeed, but all are full of life.

Ex dark ops sniper offered release from prison in return for risky assassination job for ultra top secret spooks. Looks like there's going to be a love interest with his spotter . Characters stereotypical, dialogue wooden. Very boring, made worse by robotic narration.
