Better Off Dead, by Matthew Rowe

I have just released my second book and it’s my first novel. You were very kind to review my first book, a collection of fantasy and horror short stories called ‘Not All Of Them About Zombies’. So I would like it very much if you could make time for my novel.
It’s called ‘Better Off Dead’, and it’s an YA urban fantasy comedy in a world where sorcerers are saucy, vampires are a pain in the neck and everyone is clawing to be on top.
The city of Londinium is in a period of civil unrest, but it’s not because the tube is always late, or because people are tired of zombies shedding limbs in public, nor is it because the humans are tired of trying to eke out a living only to meet a messy end in a dark alley. An unknown vampire has proclaimed himself ruler, and if there is one thing the people, both living and dead, hate more than a tyrannical ruler, it’s a secretive one. One young vampire is charged with discovering the prince’s identity. The only problem: he doesn’t want to. Ramses, the world’s first genuine cat burglar, is far more concerned with eliminating the threat posed by the feline race rather than that of some pesky vampire lord, a dragon and civil war. Can this undead slacker learn to grow up at last, foil this mysterious plot and halt the biggest supernatural conflict in history or will he need help from his mummy?
My influences are the likes of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, but the style is all my own. This is the first in the trilogy and the beginning of my writing career. I would like your help in getting me started.
Thank you for your time,
Matt
Title: (un)DEAD

In the 1950′, Richard Saussure is a Private Detective with a reputation for never leaving a job unfinished. A man named Lord Hurlingthon contacts him, requesting his abilities to solve a deeply personal mystery: Hugh Hurlingthon is two hundred and thirteen years old and can’t die.
Or so he claims.
Saussure will have to discover if this man is telling the truth, and if it is so, why he can’t cease to exist. Along the course of this investigation, Richard Saussure will question his believes while attempting to come to terms with his own past.
I’m respectfully requesting a book review. I can send e-book or print format.

Title: Fire Baptized
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Release date: Feb 20, 2012
Book Summary:
Since the 1970s humans have forced supernaturals to live in caged cities. Silver brands embedded in their foreheads identify them by species: a full moon for Vampires, a crescent moon for Shifters, a pair of wings for Fairies, and the list goes on, for each supernatural species has been tagged and categorized by humans.
Lanore Vesta is marked with a silver X, the brand of Mixbreeds, second-class citizens shunned by society. She stays to herself, revealing her ability to create fire only during emergencies. All she wants to do is graduate college and stop having to steal to survive. But when she stumbles upon a murder in progress, she catches the attention of a supernatural killer. Now all she wants is to stop finding dead bodies in her apartment.
Enlisting help from her Were-cheetah ex-boyfriend Meshach and a new mysterious friend named Zulu, she is steered through the habitat’s raunchy nightlife. But their presence sometimes proves to be more burden than help, as they fight for her attention.
While the corpses pile up, and the scent of blood fills the air, Lanore is left wondering: will she find the psycho or die trying?
