Running a dating agency can be a killer… Shelley Linley is sick of sickos. Yet another prankster has applied to her dating agency. This one says he’s a vampire and he wants Shelley to help him find a wife. Meeting him for a second interview against all her better judgement, Shelley discovers that he has no clue about women. A shame because he’s super-hot, amusing, and has a lot of single friends he could recommend her struggling business to, even if he does say they’re werewolves and demons. She has to help him, even if he’s crazy. If she can ignore his delusions, she’s sure she can help him meet someone. But when death threats start arriving on her doorstep, Shelley’s not sure she’s cut out for the job…then her dating algorithm states she’s his ideal partner. Now she’s not sure if she should take the risk for love, or run like hell. Welcome to Withernsea and the Supernatural Dating Agency, for readers of Michelle Rowen, Gerry Bartlett and Michele Bardsley who like their humour to have bite. Buy The Vampire wants a Wife to see if Theodore gets his happy forever after.

The Queen Bee picked up a few new reads during our time at PennedCon to highlight new authors or broaden our selection for our readers. The Vampire Wants a Wife, the first book of the Supernatural Dating Agency series by Andie M. Long was part of that cache and grabbed our attention with its catchy cover. This quirky tale is the story of Shelley Linley and her successful dating agency in Withernsea. Shelley can match up anyone but herself. Life is pretty predictable until Theodare Landry engages her agency and she is challenged with finding this smoking hot vampire a wife (she didn’t believe he was a vampire either at first). Who would have thought supernaturals needed help finding their someone special?
The Vampire Wants a Wife is a light and fun read. The first couple chapters of the book, the meetings between Shelley and Theodore, are funny even if it is a little corny. The dialogue and humor that is added by Shelley’s best friend and co-worker, Kim, is a great addition to the story. Even the whole theme of hookin’ up a vampire is doable as a story.
I just feel that Andie took something that was going along 
good and tried to make it better by morphing it into a Harry Potter like conflict against evil. It was a weird mix of trying to stay light and funny but fighting dark and menacing forces. Oh, and don’t forget to add the part where once this all starts happening the heroine learns she is unknowingly more than she knew too! If I hadn’t been so amused by the first part of the book I would have given it 3 stars.
Tanya’s love for books has been a lifelong passion that she likes sharing with others. Reading is also the thing that relaxes her after a day of juggling the many responsibilities that come with being being wife to an amazing man, mother to four great kids spread around the world, business manager, and farm hand on their place in southwest Missouri; home to Akaushi cattle and a menagerie of pygmy goats, horses, chickens, dogs and cats.
