A Killer First Date centered on my two favorites couple in the Drake Chronicles: Lucy and Nicholas, and Hunter and Quinn. It was a cute short story with a little bit of oh-my-heart romance, humor, and fun action.Lucy and Nicholas are my favorite couple in the series. Their relationship started out tension filled and antagonistic. Here is Lucy's first line about Nicholas in book one:"He was gorgeous, there was no use in denying it, but he always knew how to make me want to poke him in the eye with a fork. "Gradually, their relationship developed into a sweet romance. Still snarky at times, but that's what makes it so much fun! Being in on their first "official date" was too cute. Unfortunately, the Drakes can't go anywhere without danger following. So instead of riding the Ferris wheel, eating cotton candy and winning horrible stuffed prizes, they get: stakes, evil-smelly-vampires, and an out-of-control merry-go-round as part of the evening! Don't worry; there are some swoony scenes, too:"I bet cotton candy tastes good on you." I swallowed, reflexively licking my bottom lip. He leaned in closer, his mouth just barely brushing mine when he spoke. "Ready?" I nodded, breathless despite myself. He pulled back as if it was the most difficult thing he'd ever done. Oh man, I was in real trouble with this new Nicholas."Hunter and Quinn are in on the fun, making this a double first date. They're my second favorite couple of the series. Hunter the vampire killer (only the bad ones), and Quinn the vampire. Quinn was quite the ladies man until Hunter came along. Now he only has eyes for Hunter.After finishing this, I'm totally excited to continue the Drake Vampire series with Bleeding Hearts. If you haven't picked up this series yet, you should! It's fast paced, action packed and full of witty humor!
