Romance Paranormal

Francesca Melisenda Alejandra Marinelli, aka Vampire Princess or just Cesca to her friends, is becoming very comfortable in the century she woke up in after 228 years of being trapped in a coffin wrapped in silver chains. Her newfound love of surfing keeps her grounded while her job as a Ghost Town tour guide is thriving. Not to mention that her sizzling hot romance with Deke Sabor, her personal law enforcement officer and protector, is extremely strong. Then her world goes into full tilt when another vampire shows up on her doorstep requesting asylum.

Jo-Jo, the vampire jester, desperately needs Cesca's help in starting his comedy career, and he requires protection from his former master. Cesca is not exactly sure what to make of this foul-smelling vampire other than her soft heart demands she help him. And then there is the fact that he knows her full title, which only a select few from her past know. Questions swirl and her curiosity peaks wondering if the vampire responsible for her afterlife is still among the living dead. Unfortunately, Cesca's past, present and future collide when a new danger to the vampires arise. Can she stop the threat before it takes her life?

This is the second book in this series and once again it does not fail to make you laugh with witty humor and keep you glued to each page trying to guess what will happen next. I personally cannot wait to be formally introduced to Triton.

SUMMARY

Second in the delightful series featuring a vampire princess in the Sunshine State, adjusting to life, undeath, and that brutal Floridian sun.

Cesca Marinelli is on an afterlife high until a budding stand-up comic, Jo-Jo the Jester, escapes from his Atlanta nest looking for sanctuary. Worse than Jo-Jo’s bad jokes, a psychotic vampire also lurks in the shadows, putting everyone close to Cesca in danger. She must discover who the whacko is and what he has to do with an energy-sapping plague knocking off the country’s head vamps. Even it kills her. Again.
