Description: "Two vampires walk into a bar. Sounds like a joke, doesn't it? It is. A gloriously heartbreaking joke -- on me. The punchline for that joke will be delivered in the form of a sentence, but not one that might end with laughter. No, this sentence will determine whehter I live or not." On the day her husband died, Lissa goes to a bar near the hospital to drink. She encounters two vampires who make a bet on how long it will take them to turn her vampire. Lissa is a memorable character - both powerful and vulnerable. Her sarcasm is, at times a bit painful but often very funny. The result is a book that is very hard to put down.
