"If Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett had a book baby, it would be Pete!" Good thing Pete Tyler is settling into his role as leader of the Hollywood vampires, because Untermeier's Donuts is opening their first West Coast location, giving Maisie Untermeier and her evil greasy magic empire a foothold right in the middle of his turf. Making things worse, Maisie wants vengeance on Pete for something he didn't even do. There's also an unsettling... thing stirring in the depths of the old house Pete and his human girlfriend Angie call home, and calling the exterminator isn't going to take care of it. How's a vampire supposed to relax and enjoy undeath with all this going on?
