My life was a mess. Briarwick Academy offered me a chance to start over and finally move on from my past. But in order to get closure, I'd need to face the skeletons in my closet, and maybe even a few monsters. I'd have to learn several hard lessons along the way, but if I followed the rules, I just might live to tell about it. The most important one would be the toughest – never give your heart to a vampire.  How to Date a Dead Guy is a vampire romance novel by a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author written under the pen name C. P. Fleur.
