With Queen Artemis dead, the North American vampires must elect a new queen, and Belladonna Barrone is in the running, if she can survive Hawke Fitzhugh, the vicious vampire governor of New York.
Phoebe Monday comes into her own through murder, theft, and an unexpected art exhibition.
Life as a vampire isn’t much easier than life as a mobster’s wife, but that life taught her some things about how to handle being a governor. That is until a friend is kidnapped by the fae and his life put in danger, all because of her actions.
It’s too many deaths, as one returns from it, another re-enters it, Phoebe experiences social and dating deaths, and one daughter pays for it in this cozy paranormal mystery from Patti Larsen.
It’s not so bad being a vampire, especially when you become the governor of New Jersey and have all these sweet opportunities. Now if only Donna Barrone can get rid of the smarmy Hawke Fitzhugh and discover Joe’s whereabouts.
It’s hard to cast a spell with Jingle Bells running in your head and it pointed up to me how much I did love rhe process of uncovering things people thought hidden through the power inside brought me joy and peace, far more than carols or the holiday season or eggnog lattes.
Age is just a number and midlife still has magic! How much magic, the newly widowed Belladonna Barrone is about to find out, just when she thinks she’s finally free of the mob life.

Em begins to worry that her marriage has been cursed before she’s even walked down the aisle when her ex shows up to ruin things, Joe gets shot, and someone is stalking her maid of honor.
While clearing the bramble-entangled lot next door, Em and Joe discover a hidden basement, triggering a flock of will-o’-the-wisps that threaten the O’Briens. Then a woman’s ghost and that of her cat appear, begging for relief.
