"If Betsy Taylor has learned anything about ruling Hell it's: 1) she can't do it alone, and 2) she doesn't have to. She's got the help of a devoted vampire king, a dateless zombie, an exhausted new mom, an unshowered cop, a bitchy ghost, a kindly dead priest, and her late stepmother ("Go Team Satan!"). But the latest major hurdle in her post-dead life is so big she can't even see it until it's on CNN. Betsy's father and half-sister Laura (a former Anti-Christ with a grudge) have outed Betsy to the world. It doesn't take long for the story to become 24-7 headline news.

Betsy has been forced into the unenviable role as the reluctant face of the vampire nation. All she knows is, she has to look good ... and stay true to who she is. H8ers be damned"--
