About this book

Archangel Azrael, the legendary Grim Reaper, is officially burned out. Exhausted by an eternity of collecting souls, he follows his therapist’s unconventional advice to socialize among the living. He expects a quiet night, but instead, he finds himself trapped in a speed dating event at the DeLux Café. His brooding, monochromatic world is suddenly upended when he meets Deirdre, a bubbly vampire with a dangerous curiosity and a penchant for trouble.

This paranormal romance perfectly captures the grumpy-sunshine dynamic, pitting a stoic, immortal protector against a vibrant, impulsive heroine. When Deirdre ignores a direct warning and touches Azrael’s forbidden scythe, she accidentally finds herself on the wrong side of mortality. Now, the reluctant pair must navigate a high-stakes race against time to reunite her soul with her body before she is lost to the spirit realm forever.

As part of the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series, this story is a must-read for fans of reverse-harem antics and hell-realm hijinks. It is a witty, sizzling, and supernatural romp that proves even the Angel of Death can find a reason to live—if he can survive a date with the woman who just might be his perfect match.

Another winner

I received an ARC and I’m voluntary leaving my honest review. You can’t go wrong with a Carrie Pulkinen book. Seriously, everything she writes it amazing. I loved Azrael and Deirde. (I love a grumpy hero.) The story had an excellent plot and was well written. I felt like I was right there in the action. I enjoyed watching them work their way to their HEA. It has a great cast of secondary characters. I stayed up way past bedtime, because I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for her next book. )

I am reading through each of the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld books and finished reading the third book in the series. The third book was written by Carrie Pulkinen, a new author to me. I’m enjoying this series with the underworld denizens finding their mates at a Speed Dating event that Aphrodite and Eve host at the DeLux Cafe. Storyline/My Thoughts: It’s time for the Archangel Azrael, who happens to be the Grim Reaper, to find his mate. He deals with the dead daily by...

Azrael the one and only Death Angel meet’s his match with Deidre a Vampire who doesn’t believe in fated mates. She has a bad habit of touching items that she has been told not to. When she touches the scythe of Azrael all hell breaks loose and she finds out that there is one item she should not have touched )

Azrael....

Just when I think this is my favorite the next 1 comes along! Love love loved this one! Azrael was every woman's dream, and Deirdre was just the right amount of quirky and sassy. The speed dating series is by far the best I've read in a long time. Can't wait to see who's next! )

Some girls can't keep their hands to themselves

Another great couple. A wounded angel of death and a vampire who can't keep her hands to herself. Plenty of hot sex but not over the top. I love when to broken characters heal each other. I'm loving this world more and more with each new couple. )
