Publisher's summary
Book #4 in the Immortality Bites series! My name is Sarah Dearly. Fledgling vampire and part-time bartender, at your service. Welcome to my highly dysfunctional life.
All I really want is a happy, normal vampire life, but fate is seriously fighting against me. When I try to get a cool, new job, I get staked at the interview, only to be rescued by a masked vampire who calls himself the Red Devil. Then a wallflower-turned-witch curses me, making me a bloodthirsty, sun-allergic nightwalker—the worst vampire there is. As if all that isn’t enough, my future with Thierry, the handsome master vampire of my dreams, is at risk, because he’s in a centuries-long marriage of convenience he can’t seem to escape.
So, what’s my plan? For starters, I need to break my nightwalker curse, unmask the increasingly intriguing Red Devil, and get a real commitment from my man. But if that’s what it takes to find happiness, I’m ready...even if it means embracing my inner vamp to do it.
AUTHOR NOTE: Stakes & Stilettos was previously published in 2009 by Grand Central Publishing. This edition has been edited and updated from the original manuscript.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

My world changed forever the night I attended a party. Not just any party. A party for the rich and powerful elite. That's where I made the worst mistake of my life. I caught the attention of the perfect man. Kaden Raskova is Prince Charming in a finely tailored suit. Mysterious. Sophisticated. Impossibly handsome. He's taken a special interest in me and my musical talent. But there's something off that I cant quite put my finger on. Moments where I sense a monster behind the mask of a man. A predator that's luring his prey to his dungeon of cruel delights. That prey being me.

I escaped his prison, only to stumble upon a dangerous school ruled by five heirs. Girls fight to fall into their laps, even though they’re all hot mess assholes.

As the warmer days of summer gave way to the shortened, crisp days of fall, my life changed in the most unexpected of ways. I met two men and was not prepared for either of them. Theo was warm, generous, and easygoing; whereas, Wyatt was intense, serious, and protective. They share a past that neither one are honest about. Whatever happened all those years ago has created an undeniable rift between them. Augmenting the charged and confounding emotions of new love, our city has been terrorized by a serial killer, and I can feel someone watching me.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Goldilocks, who innocently wandered into a home owned by a family of bears.... Okay, my name is Ria. And I may have broken in, but I was high and it was cold outside. Oh, and the bears were actually shifters. Potayto, potahto. The point is, I’m kind of a wreck. Plus, I robbed my cheating, lying a-hole of an ex-boyfriend on my way out the door and he’s not thrilled about it, so I’m stuck with these three distractingly attractive men for the time being—one of whom is weirdly hung up on the whole breaking-and-entering thing. What could go wrong?

As a matter of fact, that is probably the last thing she should consider.

Devastating
This was an all consuming listen, that I quickly became invested in and felt compelled to finish. I needed a resolution for these problems, but the cliffhanger says, not this time girl!!! The characters are engaging and the storyline was gripping. Sometimes Sarah can be hard to like, but this time she got my empathy 100%. What's up the master vampire's sleeves??? This had me on tenterhooks!
I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrators did a phenomenal job bringing the characters and storyline to life. Until next time!!!

Wonderful in every single way!!!
When a job offer has strings attached … strings that fledging vamp Sarah Dearly won’t accept, CAN’T accept … she not only finds herself STAKED, she finds herself BETRAYED, and THAT’S just the beginning of her woes! The delightfully fanged, and brilliantly hysterical cast is back for “Stakes & Stilettos, Immortality Bites, Book 4”, and I HAVE to tell you they are fabulous! I laughed till I cried over their antics in this one! The new characters added for this amazingly inventive plot are stellar! There was some “ohh I luv” … some “give me a pole, some straw and matches NOW please”, some that fell somewhere in between who managed to redeem themselves, and one (or three) that went the other way … no spoilers, I don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun by naming names, just know there was plenty of delightfully delicious variety, and not a cookie cuter in the bunch! Now the plot, ohhh the plot, THIS plot, was DEVINE! I love it when the main plot has swirling subplots that form a multifaceted whole, and this one has EXACTLY that! In “Staked & Stilettos”, our girl can’t catch a break, and trust me, that is exactly … where … we … want … her! That is where our Sarah is at her delightful best, surrounded by a beautifully defined, brilliantly developed supporting cast .. and a luscious, “well aged, like fine wine” love interest who has his own challenges! When new protagonists enter the race, some nicely tense edge of seat moments are created, not only adding beautiful balance to the story, but also serving to seamlessly set up the next series’ of events, perfectly bridging the subplots, and connecting the whole of the story magnificently! And the icing on a delightfully delicious cake … the narration! Stunning! Emotive! Close your eyes and see the action play out in your mind perfection! Every character has a voice selected specifically with that character’s personality in mind, AND it fits them perfectly! They are voiced with clear emotion! There is NEVER a doubt what the character is feeling, never a doubt what they are thinking. It is stunning and it feels one hundred percent REAL, like it is happening AS I LISTEN! This was truly a delightful combination of writing and narration perfection, and I absolutely loved every single stunning second. Five stunning stars!

HFN
This continues the adventures of Sarah as she stumbles through her new life as a vampire. Throw in her high school reunion, an evil witch, a curse, and a killer and you have some lough out loud moments. This book ends in a cliffhanger which is unlike the pervious books in this series.
