Título: Undead and Unpopular
Autor: MaryJanice Davidson
Sinopse: I tapped my pencil on the pad, trying to come up with a plan to tell my fiancé, Eric Sinclair, that I had decided to completely give up the blood-drinking thing. I figured being the vampire queen had a few advantages—as it was, every vampire I'd ever known had to drink every day, even Eric. But I could go up to a week without so much as a drop of O-neg. So, in honor of my birthday, and being in this job for a year, I figured I'd give it up completely. I would be in a blood-free zone! Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor already has plenty on her plate. For one thing, next week is her birthday—the big 3-1 in human years, and one in undead years. (Yes, she bit the dust on her birthday last year.) On top of that, she still has wedding plans to finalize—and it's not helping that the prospective groom is avoiding anything to do with it. And then there's her decision to stop drinking blood—something she has yet to share with Eric Sinclair, her fiancé—who also happens to be the vampire king. The last thing she wants to deal with is uninvited guests, even if they happen to be the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects the week before her birthday. Some of them don't want Betsy as their queen and will do anything to get ride of her. As if turning 30 last year (not to mention dying) hadn't been traumatic enough. And trying to give up blood is making her really cranky.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Berkley Sensation costumam mergulhar o leitor em universos onde o romance se entrelaça com elementos sobrenaturais e conflitos intensos. A experiência de leitura é marcada por personagens que enfrentam dilemas entre o amor e forças externas, como maldições, seres imortais e segredos obscuros, em cenários que vão da aristocracia inglesa a mundos fantásticos. O tom varia entre o sensual e o dramático, com narrativas que equilibram tensão emocional e momentos de humor ou leveza, especialmente em histórias que envolvem vampiros, lobisomens e bruxas. O catálogo apresenta obras que exploram tanto a paixão proibida quanto a aventura sobrenatural, com ritmo que pode alternar entre o mais narrativo e o mais dinâmico.
