Ridiculous?  Yep?  Need to suspend belief and logic?  Yep again.  A funny, witty story?  Absolutely.  Will I be reading the next book?  You can count on it.Astrid has just lost her grandmother, the woman who loving raised her.  Astrid’s mother is still around, but the woman is as cold and un-motherly as an iceberg.  Needing to quit smoking, Astrid goes for hypnosis and wakes up in her own bed, a vampyre.  And of course not just any vampyre, but The Chosen.  How?  Why?  We get pretty far into the story before that begins to unveil.And who helps guide Astrid as she begins her new life?  Her best friend Gemma, who learns she’s not human either.  A very loving angel that looks like Oprah but swears like a sailor.  And The Kevin, a powerful fairy that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger.  We’ve also got characters with other famous names that are nothing like their namesakes adding to the fun.Astrid is a self-proclaimed Prada whore who is also incredibly compassionate and loyal.  And it’s instant lust between them when she first lays eyes on Ethan, the ruling vampire of the continent.  A lot of well described lust.The book contains a number of f-bombs, but most are stopped mid-word.  Also, staunch conservative republicans will need a sense of humor to enjoy this book as some of the humor is pointed in that direction.But all in all, a fun story – with a cliffhanger.
