Cheated and betrayed by your lying sack of s**t husband? Welcome to my life… or, more correctly, my crazy after-life. To everyone behind the gates of our wealthy community in Charming, Mississippi, my husband and I were the Joneses everyone tried to keep up with. A beautiful house, the perfect gated community, two gorgeous kids, and a supposedly flawless marriage. Until I came home and caught him rolling around in our bed, hip-deep in my best friend. Which led to the aforementioned snow plow incident. I woke up with a fear of the sun and a propensity for drinking blood. Or in laymen’s terms, a vampire. I thought vampires were supposed to be hot and irresistible. But my Maker smells like he just stepped out of a sewer and he has the appeal of a turd in a punch bowl. But you know how life is as one of the Joneses...gotta keep up. Keep up appearances, that is. I’ve swapped my Triple, Venti, Sugar-Free, Non-Fat Caramel Macchiato for a stainless steel rambler that keeps my O-Negative at the perfect room temperature. I can still manage the carpool lane, with the right sunglasses to hide my crazy eyes. But between daytime soccer games, a missing college student who might have been a vampire kill, trying not to drain my soon-to-be-ex-husband, and keeping my neighbors in the dark, I’m shaking in my Jimmy Choos. I'm not sure I can do this. My name is Rachel Jones, and I’m a vampire housewife less

I thought I was sitting pretty until my alimony check was late. That will teach me to depend on a man! Between my guilt of imposing financial ruin on my ex (which was totally justified!) and my desire to be able to take care of my children, I have now joined forces with a private investigator. The upside: It pays a hell of a lot. Plus it’s night shift! The downside: I now see the ugly side of our small town of Charming, Mississippi. We all wear masks and we all have secrets... moreI thought I was sitting pretty until my alimony check was late. That will teach me to depend on a man!

The perfect combination for a disaster...I never imagined learning to live as a vampire would be so hard. Of course, I never dreamed I’d be a vampire in the first place, so I figure I deserve a little credit for handling it so well. What I didn’t expect was to discover something that is even harder than being a vampire—dating again after divorce!I’ve heard all the rules—Vampires and Werewolves are not supposed to get along. That’s fine and dandy until Werewolf Jack comes along... moreThe perfect combination for a disaster...I never imagined learning to live as a vampire would be so hard.
