"Vampires, Christmas and a spring wedding, what more could you ask for!"
Another chapter in our favorite vampire queens "life".
Full of fun, laughter and hilarious adventure. This time
it's Christmas and that means one of Betsy's favorite
things to do, SHOP! First Betsy and her friend Jessica and
her half sister Laura want to see Betsy's head stone.
After all it isn't everyone that can visit their own grave. Betsy is busy planning a spring wedding to gorgeous vamp
Eric Sinclair whom every time she makes love to him she
can hear his thoughts, but only during love making. When
Eric finds this out, he is sure he isn't meant to be her
King and this causes all kinds of problems for poor Betsy. Then there is the problem of a serial killer on the loose,
killing tall blond women. Betsy fits the profile. Then
there are the ghosts that only Betsy can see and they
won't leave her alone until she helps them right past
mistakes. That alone leads to some interesting
complications and much laughter.
A fun read for everyone that wants a laugh. Long live
Queen Betsy!

SummaryThis is how my tombstone read:
Elizabeth Anne Taylor
April 25, 1974-April 25, 2004
Our sweetheart, only resting
Only, I wasn't resting under it. I had, of course, died in
the spring. Rose in the early dawn hours the day of my
funeral and gone on undead walkabout. Since my body was
MIA, the funeral was cancelled. But my mother, who had been
in a huge fight with my dad and stepmom about what to spend
on my marble tombstone, had rushed to order the thing. By
the time it was finished, no funeral, no service, no burial.
So anyway, my tombstone had been in storage for the last
six months.
After a few months, the funeral home had politely contacted
my mother and asked what she'd like to do with it. Since
mom had the plot and stone paid for, she had them stick it
in the dirt the day before yesterday, and mentioned it at
lunch yesterday.
Jessica and Laura had been morbidly curious to see it, and
I'd tagged along. What the hell, it made for a break from
wedding arrangements and Christmas cards...
So begins the newest hilarious adventure in the life of
Betsy Taylor, reluctant Queen of the Vampires. It's
Christmas time in the kingdom of the undead (otherwise known
as Minneapolis), which is as complicated as it sounds. Betsy
isn't going to let a little thing like death and
blood-drinking stop her from enjoying the holidays, or
planning her upcoming spring wedding to drop-dead gorgeous
vamp Eric Sinclair.
But all is not merry and bright—Betsy is plagued by
ghosts who demand her help in rectifying their past
mistakes, and a serial killer is on the loose. With his
victims all being tall, blonde women, Betsy fits the profile
exactly...
With warmth, style and laugh-out-loud humor, MaryJanice
Davidson shows why readers everywhere love Betsy Taylor, and
have turned her adventures into a bestselling phenomenon.
