What do you get when you mix an incubus bite with a vampire bite? A shitastrophe. All I wanted to do was go to a bar and drown my sorrows in some alcohol, but I had to get attacked by an incubus. Now I'm being guarded by a hunky but oh so irritating vampire (who bit me too) while the incubus stalks me. Being guarded by the sexy vampire probably wouldn't be that bad if not for the fact my perfect boss has finally noticed me. Try dating while a vampire guards you way too closely and an incubus tracks your every move, waiting to pounce. Then there's some creepy hunter guy who also wants to kill me. The sun wants to kill me. Human food wants to kill me. Don't even get me started on my family. Life sucks after you die.

Danni Keller is half vampire, half succubus, and a full hot mess. When Danni was younger she thought being a vampire could be kind of fun. You stay young forever, live in a castle, and play by your own rules. Then she was turned into one and while the eternally young part is true, there's no castle. She can't talk about her age, she can't tell anyone what she is, and with an overprotective sire like hers, she can't even have a job or go shopping without a babysitter. Danni knows it's for her own good and all since bad guys are always trying to kill her, the sun burns like hell, she still can't eat human food without becoming gravely ill, and she's not exactly your run-of-the-mill vampire but a hybrid with all kinds of extra issues, but still ... Is it too much to ask for a girl to have a cupcake???

Sure, my sister's spoiled rotten and self-centered, but I couldn't let her die after she stumbled into an ambush meant for me and my hunky sire. To save her, we had to turn her. And by "we" I mean Rider... and he's not too happy about it. Our relationship is strained, My succubus side is acting up, Daniel's looking at me kind of funny. My sister is turning out to be a major problem, Selander Ryan's out there somewhere, Rider's gorgeous and powerful old friend just pops into his room whenever she feels like it, I've become Nannette's lab rat, I think I kind of adopted a teenager... and I still can't even have a freaking cupcake!

It's Danni's first Christmas since being turned, and she just can't find her Christmas spirit. Plagued by nightmares and conflicted feelings about Rider and Daniel, she doesn't know what to do. Before she can even begin to deal with her own problems, something starts creeping down chimneys to snatch a whole lot more than Christmas joy, and Danni knows in her gut that only she can end its reign of terror. She just doesn't know how… but there's a very special slayer in town who may be able to help.
