Virginia Beach, Virginia - Present Day

The Prince of Death has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).  When the day started for psychiatrist Dr. Elaine Shrink, it looked as if it would be a relatively normal one.  The last minute urgent request for a house call for a new patient seemed like a godsend that might save her practice, which Elaine's about to lose because she can't pay her rent.  Until she meets Seth Overkill.  Elaine's not sure she can treat him:  first, he's too gorgeous for words; second, he believes he's a vampire; and, third, he says Elaine is the Ayudante, a vampire savior.  What has she gotten herself into?

Reckoning Day is coming, and Seth Overkill is woefully unprepared to bring his people through it.  He's not sure when his fear of germs became so great that he doesn't feed anymore, but the dead bodies walking around the city are a clear indication that he has a problem.  As the prophecy states, if the Prince of Death isn't strong enough, the dead will walk again.  To keep the world in balance, Seth has to overcome his issues.

Can Elaine guide Seth through the coming weeks?  Does she even want to guide him in anything except the path to her bed?

An apple pie baking master vampire and an unbeliever clash spectacularly in Crystal Bright's REVAMPED.  Elaine is thrust into a world she never knew existed, even though she lived on the sidelines of it since she was a child.  Meeting Seth, who she initially considered to be a monster, brings one boon -- the opportunity to learn about her father, Alex, the previous Ayudante who died when she was little.  Secrets and lies come to the forefront as Elaine and Seth walk the marshy ground of vampire politics.

Seth's idiosyncrasies are amusing, and his evolving relationship with Elaine, while fraught with issues, is oddly entertaining.  There are a few secondary characters who serve to move the plot along, the most significant of whom is Mina, Seth's second-in-command, who has her own agenda.
