5/5 stars

Almost Dead is a collection of short stories, all vampire themed.

Fang Girl - A radio station runs a competition for one lucky person to have a date with the star of a detective series. One Fang Girl will do whatever it takes to win.

Bite Me - Ritchie gets more than he'd bargained when a girl at his school bites him at a party.

Baby Teeth - Dr. French has a patient with a strange complaint.

Ode to My Lunch - A vampire that writes poor poetry tries to woo the latest woman to catch his eye.

Almost Dead - Becca's wedding night doesn't end quite as she expected.

I really enjoyed these short stories. They were witty, funny and original. The writing style was engaging and I often found myself smiling or sniggering. I love the cover and thought the bonus poems at the end were a brilliant idea. 

I would definitely recommend this collection.
