With diabolical wit, the author of TANATALIZE revisits a deliciously dark world where vampires vie with angels — and girls just want to have fangs.

At last, Miranda is the life of the party: all she had to do was die. Elevated and adopted by none other than the reigning King of the Mantle of Dracul, Miranda goes from high-school theater wannabe to glamorous royal fiend overnight. Meanwhile, her reckless and adoring guardian angel, Zachary, demoted to human guise as the princess’s personal assistant, has his work cut out for him trying to save his girl’s soul and plan the Master’s fast-approaching Death Day gala. In alternating points of view, Miranda and Zachary navigate a cut-throat eternal aristocracy as they play out a dangerous and darkly hilarious love story for the ages.


From the Compact Disc edition.

The story of a fallen angel and a vampire is narrated alternately by Jesse Bernstein and Allyson Ryan as the two recount their doomed love. Miranda was never really interested in the tales of otherworldly creatures that fascinated her friend Lucy, but then she was turned into an Eternal by the vampire king. Zachary has been Miranda's guardian angel since she was born, but in one thoughtless move he revealed himself and damned her soul forever. Ryan transforms Miranda from a self-conscious theater wannabe to a bloodthirsty vampire princess. Bernstein has the harder job, and he excels at voicing the ageless Zachary as a teenager torn apart by unrequited love. Together the narrators create magic: Listeners will both love and hate Miranda as she drinks her way through Chicago's population, and the suspense is thrilling as Zachary desperately tries to figure out a way to save his undead princess.
