Weren't problems supposed to end at death? For Betsy Taylor, that event began her problems. For every good thing in her unlife, she has at least one associated problem. Yes, she's made peace with Sinclair being her vampire king, and is even preparing for to marry, and planning a wedding is definitely a problem, especially when the groom is apathetic to human ceremonies. True, in the last book, she got rid of the book of the dead, but it's back.

Now that she is enjoying her engagement, Betsy can read her fiancé's mind at close moments, but Sinclair is not happy about that. Furthermore, her family life is getting complicated. He has no desire to become evil, but it looks like Laura might be headed down that road. Betsy also has a new baby half brother, and she is the only person he seems to like.

That annoys the wicked step-mother no end, and during one visit to the baby, Betsy acquires a new houseguest, the ghost of the current serial killer's latest victim. Cathie will not rest until Betsy solves her murder. How is she supposed to do that between making up with Sinclair, planning a wedding, babysitting, writing her vampire advice column, keeping an eye on her devil spawn half sister, keeping the peace between the live in ex vampire slayer, and her queenly duties?

Somehow, she will manage, and entertain her readers in the process.

It might be true to say the best chick lit is dead chick lit, or at least UNDEAD chick lit, since technically, this might be considered in that category. It's a little of everything, actually. If you need a smile, just see what Betsy is up to now.
