Being royally undead isn't all it's cracked up to be--there are still bills to be paid. Luckily, new Queen of the Vampires Betsy Taylor lands her dream job selling designer shoes at Macy's.

But when a string of vampire murders hits St. Paul, Betsy must enlist the help of the one vamp who makes her blood boil: the oh-so-sexy Sinclair. Now, she's really treading on dangerous ground--high heels and all.

Reviews

Wanted to give it another try after book one was mediocre, but it tries to hard to be funny. Love the storyline between Eric Sinclair and Betsy, so that saved it some.

I am audiobooking this series and while I enjoy Betsy in this series, I am not always feeling the romantic connection. I don't know if that it just the narrator's presentation of Sinclair.

Be back with a full review.

I liked this one more than the first one. The main character Betsy is either much more bearable or I'm use to her now. Also this one is as focused entirely on her. I love the fact that she isn't like form fit for the role of Queen of the Vampires, and I also like that she doesn't even want to be it. It's a slightly different spin on the other vampire fiction that's out there right now.

I have to confess, I found this second book not as good as the first one. It was just average. I like the sarcasm and tone (which I was more prepared for this time), but the plot felt sort of hollow to me. Most of the book is Betsy arguing with other people over various issues – where to live, whether or not to work, who loves who, etc. I didn’t think there was really enough chemistry between Betsy and Sinclair here, though they do have their moments. And they don’t really solve the mystery as much as they just happen upon the solution. I find the series entertaining enough to continue, but I’m hoping for a little more oomph in the next one.
