Jessica Rules the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey

Pub. Date: January 9, 2012

Goodreads says, "When Jessica Packwood found out she was a Romanian vampire princess, she had the shock of her teenage life. Turns out that was the easy part. Now, married to Prince Lucius Vladescu, she has to claim her throne and convince a vampire nation she’s fit to be their queen. But Jess can’t even order a decent meal from her castle’s Romanian staff, let alone deal with devious undead subjects who would love to see her fail.  And when Lucius is accused of murdering a vampire Elder and imprisoned without the blood he needs, Jessica finds herself alone, fighting for both their survivals.  Desperate to clear her husband’s name and win his release, Jess enlists the help of her best friend Mindy Stankowicz and Lucius’s mysterious Italian cousin, Raniero Lovatu. But both of them are keeping some dark secrets. Can Jess figure out who to trust – and how to rise to power – before she loses everything, including the vampire she loves?  Full of romance, mystery, and danger, the highly anticipated sequel to Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side shows that sometimes a princess has to earn her “happily ever after” – with a sharpened stake in hand."

*I remember reading Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side this past summer while on vacation and I was laughing out loud while reading it at the pool.  I'm pretty sure that people thought I was crazy. Not only was the first book in the series funny at times, it kept me captivated. I couldn't put it down!  So, needless to say, I am definitely waiting on Jessica Rules the Dark Side (and how fabulous is the cover!) Too bad we have to wait until January 2012 for this one!
