"You bitch, you killed me. You suck!"
Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks.
Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody—the woman of his dreams—is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too.
For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!)
Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.
And that really sucks.

"I own every book written by Christopher Moore. His wit (sometimes laugh-out-loud funny) and imagination makes his books collectible. Wanted to reread them but found audio books much more convenient. Audiobookstore,com makes it fast and easy not to mention less expensive to collect audio books. "
— Chip (5 out of 5 stars)
“A vampire comedy that’s witty, bright and funny.”
— People“The perfect companion for those who can’t or don’t sleep at night—no matter the reason…This is a laugh-a-page novel.”
— USA Today“Moore’s latest is a cheerfully perverse, gut-busting tale of young vampires in love…Moore writes with the jittery energy of a brilliant, charming class clown, mixing sex and gore and a potty mouth with a goofy-sweet sensibility to deliver laughs on nearly every page.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“Christopher Moore mines a comic gold mine, deftly skewering the conceits of the vampire genre with precision and wit.”
— Buffalo News" It's a very amusing book but I do think that it should be funnier in its original language but I really enjoyed it. "
— Cornflakegirl, 2/7/2014" A cute sequel to a cute first book. Not as enamored with the chapters written from Abby's perspective, though they are funny at times. Looking forward to the third. "
— Mace, 2/4/2014" Another favorite due to its blunt humor, crazy plot, and strong characters. I love how wild the story becomes during times you least expect. I suggest you read the review for Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job to get an idea of this book, since the stories are connected. "
— Megan, 2/2/2014" You can tell a man wrote it, so the love is totally lost. It was funny, though. Cheesy, but funny. "
— Niki, 1/24/2014" Not as good as the first book in the series, but the book had its moments. (Does anyone ever read my reviews? Probably not. But at least, it will help me remember how I felt about a book when I finished it. lol) "
— Sasha, 1/19/2014" the sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends did not disappoint. I liked the humor "
— Dayna, 1/19/2014" The ties that Moore creates between and through his various stories only add to the amazing foundation that his characters and San Francisco rest upon. Another great one Mr. Moore!! "
— Jocelyn, 1/16/2014" Even lighter that Bloodsucking Fiends (which was already so light it almost floated away), this one felt a bit weak to me. I loved Abby Normal's character, and really the book was more about her than the vamps... who got completely lost. This was fine vacation reading, but not much more. "
— Ariel, 1/14/2014" I don't know what happened but I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of Moore's other books. It just seemed too juvenile for me to really enjoy. Which kind of hurts to say because I usually find his books amusing. "
— Jennww2ns, 1/10/2014" Incompetent vampires, brooding goths, a call girl who is blue like a Smurf, frozen turkey bowling. Moore is a remarkably entertaining lunatic. He occasionally gets a little to clever with the story, pushing it to the point that is eye-rolling, but he generally keeps it acceptably absurd. "
— Rich, 1/2/2014" I would probable give it 3.5 stars. I thought it was definitely different from your average vampire book. I liked it though because it was pretty comical. "
