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.

      The story of a fallen angel and a vampire is narrated alternately by Jesse Bernstein and Allyson Ryan as the two recount their doomed love. Miranda was never really interested in the tales of otherworldly creatures that fascinated her friend Lucy, but then she was turned into an Eternal by the vampire king. Zachary has been Miranda's guardian angel since she was born, but in one thoughtless move he revealed himself and damned her soul forever. Ryan transforms Miranda from a self-conscious theater wannabe to a bloodthirsty vampire princess. Bernstein has the harder job, and he excels at voicing the ageless Zachary as a teenager torn apart by unrequited love. Together the narrators create magic: Listeners will both love and hate Miranda as she drinks her way through Chicago's population, and the suspense is thrilling as Zachary desperately tries to figure out a way to save his undead princess.

      Smith's latest revisits the dark alternate world of Tantalize
      (2007) with a new set of characters. Despite the efforts of Zachary, her guardian angel, Dallas teenager Miranda joins the ranks of the undead as an “eternal” (vampire), courtesy of the current Dracula, their aristocratic ruler. A year passes, and as Dracula's pursuit of power begins to affect his sanity, Miranda struggles to acclimate to her new regal life in Dracula's castle (in Chicago). Meanwhile, Zachary has been cast from heaven for revealing his angelic nature while trying to save Miranda, so he poses as a human—and Miranda's personal assistant—trying to save her. Smith balances the story's bloody details with frequent touches of humor (when Zachary is taken aback by Miranda's enormous SUV, she replies, “We're eternals
      .... We are evil. We are not fuel efficient”). The confessional style, alternating between Miranda and Zachary's points of view, is intriguing as a diary—readers should be hooked by this fully formed world, up through the action-packed finale. Ages 14–up.
