Counterpoint: Always Kill a Boy on the First Date

A couple of years after the events of Oblivion, snarky vampire Zara Lain decides to end a dry spell by doing something new: she asks out her saber-tooth cat's veterinarian for drinks.

The guy is nice. The date goes well.

And then all hell breaks loose.

An old enemy is back and willing to do anything to make her save him from an assassination attempt–bribes, threats, and even making her the new target.
