About this book
Trying to quit smoking shouldn't result in a death sentence, yet Daisy Jane somehow manages to wake up as a newly minted vampire. If she has to deal with the afterlife, at least the perks—like a perky physique and a never-ending supply of designer clothes—are decent. But between an foul-mouthed, Oprah-lookalike guardian angel and a fairy fighting coach preparing her for war, her new reality is anything but glamorous.
This paranormal shifter romp is the perfect escape for readers who crave a blend of high-stakes danger and laugh-out-loud comedy. As Daisy navigates a world where she is suddenly hailed as a Chosen One, she finds herself caught in a simmering, slow-burn attraction to a rogue vampire who is as lethal as he is irresistible. His possessiveness is a constant threat, but in this wild universe, resisting him might be the hardest battle she faces.
Peterman masterfully builds a vibrant found-family dynamic that anchors the chaos of bloodsuckers and supernatural warfare. With its irreverent tone and sharp wit, this story proves that being dead doesn't mean you can't live your best life. If you are hunting for a witty, fast-paced romance that doesn't take itself too seriously, prepare for one hell of a ride.

Marie's Tempting Reads Review: Another great book by the fun and talented author, Robyn Peterman. I had read this when it was first released but when I was asked if I would like to do a review for Fashionably Dead I knew I had to do a reread to refresh my brain. I forgot how entertaining this was. This book took vampyres to a new and exciting place, making them unique but with certain qualities you would expect from the \"normal\" vampires. I ADORED it too! We have such a combination of quirky...

The sparkling gem of this story is the irreverent and fearless humor. I swear on all things Prada, it will make you laugh out loud. I startled my dog several times while reading this book. She finally got so disgruntled she left the room. Astrid is somewhat archetypal: She's a pretty but slightly dysfunctional woman with relationship issues and of course, a heart of gold. She's \"not a ho-bag\" but has a healthy sexuality. She doesn't know her own worth, has self-doubts, but soon realizes her...

5 Really Dead Stars! So I was a little broke and decided to browse the $0 dlls kindle eBooks and i encountered this book and decided to give it a chance. It was awesome, so awesome, i ended up buying the rest of the series and now i'm completely broke but i don't care, it was worth it. Astrid decides to quit smoking by going to a hypnotist but ends up as a vampyre and all hell breaks loose. I loved the world, the main characters, the second characters, all of the characters period! The story...

Fashionably Dead by Robyn Peterman is book one in her Hot Damned series and it was a winner in my opinion. When I picked up this book for free from Amazon I read a review that stated that it ended in a cliff hanger. I hate cliff hanger endings. So I waited until book two, Fashionably Dead Down Under, came out. Then life got in the way and now book three, Hell On Heels, is out next week! So I pushed life aside and got busy reading. Astrid decided to quit smoking by being hypnotized....

I've read books 1 thru 19 and came back here to tell you how great these are. The characters have such quirky personalities that just suck you in. So many great jokes, I've saved up some to use myself. You are reading along and just burst into laughter and can't get to the next sentence because you start laughing again. My husband has kicked me out of bed several times for waking him up when that happens. I try to make it sound like I'm coughing but that doesn't work. There is alot of swearing...
