The aptly-named Dr. Chelsey Bloodworth is a character fit for celluloid- a brilliant single woman with an eye for style and a thriving business.  "I could have forty or so root canals this morning, and instead, I have forty fang fittings," she explains, an unusual choice of livelihood for a girl who just lost her father, brother, and sister-in-law, trying to pick up the pieces of her family.  The clever narrative device switches seamlessly between Chelsey and her adopted niece Savannah, who towers over every guy in school and is still reeling from her parents' car accident, even as Chelsey still dials her brother's phone number out of habit.  In the midst of this tragedy, the pair manage to find real humor and joy in life, exploring the trials of spray tans, navigating high school life, and the business world with style and wit.  "I have a huge problem with TMI sometimes," Chelsey admits in one of many wonderful one-liners that make this book really fun to read.  When Josiah Redd, an intriguing homicide detective, asks for Chelsey's expertise in an investigation that hits a little too close to home, Chelsey must come to terms with her past and protect her future.  The book ends in a terrific cliffhanger involving Savannah and her crush, Xander... I can't wait to read what happens next!
