Reviewed by Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen for TeensReadToo.comAfter being bitten, becoming a half-vampire, discovering that she was part of a prophecy, defending herself in front of a council on why they should keep her alive, getting a boyfriend and trying to keep him, entering college, and keeping her sorority safe -- Colby Blanchard has basically survived it all. Except for the part where vampires are still attacking her since they believe that she will destroy them. Colby just needs that prophecy to be deciphered (and quick!), since she can't walk around worried all the time. That's where Piper, Colby's best friend, comes in. She may not know what the prophecy really says, but she is on the case. But the prophecy isn't the only thing on Piper's mind these days. There's also her love for bad boys, and the new guy she met at the mall, Hunter, who has all of the qualities she looks for and more. If only she could figure out if he really likes her or is just using her. He is a good asset to have in translating the prophecy, but is he worth trusting? Then there's the whole fact that staking a demon leads to her discovery that she might not be the person who she thought she was. Who knew saving someone's life, in this case Colby's, could lead to so much confusion? What's a girl to do when she has so many problems -- and friends with so many problems? How about slaying some demons? Charming and witty, DATING4DEMONS continues the hilarious adventures of half-vampires and demons, this time interchanging the narratives between Colby and Piper. What seems like the last novel in the series, Serena Robar wraps up the story nicely, leaving fans with a satisfied grin.
Let me start off by saying that I didn't know that this book was the final book in a trilogy until I finished reading it the first time. But this is the kind of book you can dive right into even if you haven't read the previous two books. It has a cute and uncomplicated plot and characters you are bound to like. I especially like the added touch of the talking demonic cats. I did notice several grammatical errors that an editor should have caught, but you cannot really blame the author for that. Fellow writers will understand that you try to make everything perfect and then you look back and realize "Oh shoot, there's a typo". All in all it's an enjoyable book.My star count? 3 1/2-4 of 5

This is a really quick read & a ertake on vampires. There are some serious issues but it all takes place with plenty of snark thrown in.If you're looking for something with vampires but not of the dark brooding variety give this one a try.This installment is told from both Colby and Piper's (the best friend) perspective which I found welcome. Colby can be a bit too self absorbed at times. The only thing I wish that there was more of is Thomas. The series is so girl centric that we don't get to see enough of what makes him tick.

This book made me stressed as Hell. I actually had to have a break toward the 3/4 of my reading, because it was kind of heavy on me. I liked it, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't a light and fun read as the first book. It was frustrating to read about Thomas not being himself and probably being in danger. Or seing Piper and Colby fight all the time and Colby apparently not trusting Piper's word until the almost end. I was positively surprised to see that after all that happened in the first book Mr Holloway was a good guy and even a lot helpful. I think he really care about Colby now and believes in her. Weird as it may seem.I liked Piper in this book and it was nice to read her point of view too. I think that deep inside she is a tough and brave girl after all. She showed some balls in this book. It also made me smile when she said she might have a girly crush on her best friend (Colby).Hunter left me puzzled most times, but he was a nice guy. And apparently hot too. Lucky Piper!The Barnaby thing (especially that accident in bed) was kind of creepy and scary. Shiver!I liked Colby's courage and strenght even in one of the worst moments of her life. She did make the right decision. I liked the ending, and the whole soul-mates thing. Kind of romantic. I didn't like that there was hardly any romance, aka lovey and passionate moments between Colby and Thomas. I also missed Carl. Sigh. I might have a little crush on him, I know!So, it shows 3 stars but I think it's actually more like 3.5 stars.
