Cynthia is a Texas, young adult author and a major resource to Authors and librarians. I've had the pleasure of meeting her and working with her, she is amazing. Additionally, I love the cover of this book!

Classified Ads - Wanted: Personal assistant to Her Royal Highness. Duties: Whatever asked without hesitation, including but not limited to secretarial/administrative, household, defense, blood donation, driving, companionship, prey disposal, and love slavery.

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. Her reckless and adoring guardian angel, meanwhile - fighting in human guise as the princess’s personal assistant - has his work cut out for him with the Master’s Death Day gala fast approaching. Can Zachary save his girl’s soul and redeem himself before all hell arrives, quite literally, on their doorstep? ( )

This book can be read as a standalone as that is what I did. I read the entire thing and only saw that it was book 2 when I went online to do my review. My thought is that if I had read the first book I might have rated this one higher. It's a moot point now. This is a short young adult book with the classic triangle of love between the life of good and the life of bad. A day-to-day struggle for everyone but pushed up a notch with vampires and angels. ( )

Eternal introduces us to the extensive world of vampires and other supernatural creatures that live along side the human world including werewolves, werebears, guardian angels, and others. Miranda felt like a failure in the human world but when she is transformed into a vampire she finds that she is a princess in the eternal world. The man who transformed Miranda is Archibald Mosby Radford, King of the Mantle of Dracul and the leader of the Eternals' aristocracy. The story is told in alternating chapters between Miranda and Zachary, her fallen guardian angel. Zachary becomes human after he shows himself to Miranda when she was attacked and comes to work for her as a personal assistant – all Eternals have beautiful, human personal assistants. Even though he lost his wings, Zachary is still trying to save Miranda from the increasingly powerful and erratic Master and redeem himself. Father, as Miranda calls the Master, is dabbling in unstable magic and is becoming more dangerous and unpredictable as he plans a big Death Day gala where something spectacular will happen. The character development is strong and tension and excitement builds to the denouement of the book. A slightly different take on the vampire craze in books. ( )

I met the author at a library convention and immediately fell in love with her great young adult books. Later I had the privilege of working with her on The Spirit of Texas projects, Highly recommended.

FROM AMAZON: 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. ( )
