Romance Paranormal

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!

SUMMARY

Most women would love to live as royalty, but Betsy has found that being vampire queen has more problems than perks, except for always being awake for Midnight Madness sales. It may be easy to find blood (yuck) in the dark of night, but try finding a strawberry smoothie. And employees at her nightclub Scratch have been giving her nothing but grief since she killed their former boss. Some people...

But Betsy's "life" takes an interesting turn at a baby shower for her wicked stepmother, who lets it slip that Betsy has a long-lost half sister. Now twenty years old, this woman just so happens to be the devil's daughter...and destined to rule the world.
