Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor continues her rule in Hell in the scorchingly funny finale to the New York Times bestselling Undead series.

While Queen Betsy's first press conference brings her more fame and attention than ever before, and a PR team is compiled for damage control, the Devil has escaped and remains at large in the world. Oh, and the werewolves have come to town-as have the mermaids-to lend their support.or wait to see who falls, and how hard.

If Betsy Taylor has learned anything about ruling Hell it's: 1) she can't do it alone, and 2) she doesn't have to.

But the latest major hurdle in her post-dead life is so big she can't even see it until it's on CNN. Betsy's father and half-sister Laura (a former Anti-Christ with a grudge) have outed Betsy to the world.
