It's a dream for a "Vampire Chef"-cater the high-profile wedding of a 200-year-old vampire and a wealthy witch. So why did celebrity chef Oscar Simmons walk away from this gig? Charlotte agrees to take his place, even though she knows this event, thrown by power-hungry vampires and witches, could make (or break) her career, her restaurant, and her life. But when Simmons turns up dead, the groom's family starts vanishing, and the police start asking pointed questions, Charlotte fears she may have picked the wrong wedding to stake her reputation on...
This book started off a bit slow for me, but I'm going to blame outside influences and not the book itself. Once I was able to pick it up and start reading uninterrupted, I didn't put it down again until I was finished. I really liked the mystery, it had a lot of good, solid suspects and I didn't have any idea who the culprit was until it all came together in the end. A couple of smaller sub-plots are nicely interwoven into this story, but it's clear these are story lines that will continue throughout multiple books, without leaving you with a cliffhanger. I really liked the ending as well. I still find Chef Caine to be a little cold, but I enjoy reading about her and the other characters.
