Want to know what it takes to date a vampire? Unsure of what to get the werewolf in your life for his birthday? Need some advice on how to get over your cheating ex demon boyfriend? Then look no further than Dating The Undead. This guide is jammed pack with helpful tips and articles on how to strengthen your relationship with your immortal or for those who don't have a ring on your finger, or a mating mark on your neck, learn which creature of the night would be the best match for you.

At first, I was a little unsure of what to make of Dating The Undead. Is it a book or magazine? Is it a Lords of the Underworld user guide? Is it going to be nothing but silly nonsense? Well, I finally checked it out and what I found is that this is a really fun read. There are great articles about Zombies, Angels, Demons, Werewolves, Vampires and Dragons, written as if this is a actual magazine and our world was inhabited by immortals. There are secrets given about each species, relationship advice, fashion advice and articles on what to eat and how to stay fit and energized so you can keep up with your immortal lover. There are even ads, like Dead Bull and Coffin Klein, and recipes, like sweet 'n' spicy angel-bait salsa and chocolate fondue-me (I'd actually make these recipes!). This is just the tip of the iceberg to all the goodies you'll find inside.

Fans of Gena Showalter's Lord of the Underworld series will be interested the sneak peek into The Darkest Seduction and the character spotlight section. As a fan of the LOTU, I thought this was a real treat and like that it also included the first chapter of The Darkest Night, book one and great for those who are thinking about starting this series. Everything in Dating The Undead is so well written that you may actually start to believe this is a real magazine. I believe there's something for every paranormal romance fan in this highly entertaining guide/book/magazine.
