It seems that Betsy is an anomaly: a vampire who doesn't burn in sunlight, can fight the urge to feed, and is not repulsed by religious articles, all of which may make her the prophesied Queen of the Vampires.

I am so happy I found this series as I needed. "Heroine is a vain, selfish, airheaded twit. Not worth your time" according to Dogs & Horses. I really REALLY wanted to like this book and had hoped this was a series to sink into now that I've finished all the Sookie Stackhouse books. Wrong.
