Elizabeth Taylor, Betsy to her friends, is kind of getting the hang of being the Vampire Queen after six months at the job. Her consort, Sinclair, is still the hottest of hotties, her best friend Jessica is still rich as a sultan and very generous and things are going pretty well, even if most of vampirekind think she needs to do more to earn their respect. Then she learns her stepmother (or stepmonster, as Betsy calls her) is pregnant, and not for the first time. She had a child once before, but left it as a foundling at the hospital. That means Betsy has a stepsister out there somewhere. Then she learns the stepsister is actually the daughter of Satan -- and is destined to take over the world. Plus, she does some reading in the book of the dead, which causes a temporary change of personality and the gaining of more powers. Again.

Ah, Betsy Taylor, we love you. No matter what you come up against, you never say die. Of course, that's because you've learned it's a lost cause. I loved this installment of the Betsy and Sinclair show. Each book just gets better and better, and I already can't wait for the next one. What can I say? Betsy rocks. And you'll love Laura. An excellent read!
