Undead and Unsure

It''s no surprise to Betsy that her trip to Hell with her sister Laura landed them in hot water. Betsy isn''t exactly sorry she killed the Devil but it''s put Laura in a damnable position: assuming the role of Satan (she may not have the training but she looks great in red) - and in charge of billions of souls as she moves up in the world. Or is that down?

But Betsy herself is in an odd new position as well - that of being a responsible monarch suddenly in charge of all things more earth-bound: like her vampire husband Sinclair who has gone from relieved to ecstatic to downright reckless now that he can tolerate sunlight. And if Sinclair isn''t enough to contend with, Betsy''s best friend Jessica is in her sixth (and hopefully last) trimester. Considering she''s been pregnant for eighteen months, she''s become a veritable encyclopedia of what not to expect when you''re expecting. Oh, the horror . . .

And speaking of growing pains, Betsy and Sinclair''s adopted little BabyJon is finally starting to walk. And if the increasingly unpredictable toddler is anything like his extended family, precisely where he''s headed is anyone''s guess.
