Synopsis: As I lived my best royal life, my only job as a princess was to find and marry a handsome prince. Too bad Prince Theo turned out to be more of a toad.
After I began losing my powers, he lost interest in our upcoming wedding. Not only did Theo leave me at the altar, but he also banished me and my merry band of misfits from the Kingdom of Poppycock forever.
Talk about a walk of shame!
From enchanted castle to crumbling cottage, I’m now stuck in Morningwood, struggling to plot my next move.
This strange little town, full of mischief and magic, is the perfect place to hide while I practice my spells and hopefully regain my powers.
What could possibly go wrong?
Other than accidentally summoning a mysterious male vampire who throws me off my quest and gets my blood boiling in all the right places.
And my blood is exactly what Vail and his brotherhood need for their top-secret laboratory.
Who would have thought my charming royal genes could help their dangerous mission?
As long as Vail keeps his fangs to himself, we won’t have a problem.
His hands though?
That’s another story entirely.
My taste for revenge is strong, but his taste for me is stronger.
Could this be my fairy-tale ending? Or am I destined to live a nightmare?

Review: Let me start with saying that this is one of the most interestingly different books I've ever read. It's some kind of quirky hybrid between paranormal romance and romantic comedy. In fact, the author billed it as a paranormal romcom, and maybe that's actually a well-known thing, but this is the first time I've come across such a mix. Still, I love romcom and enjoy paranormal, so no way was I passing this one up. On top of that, this is book 1 in the VILF series, and the series name alone is witty enough to suck me in (heh, suck, get it?). This is a Cinderella-ish story with a princess, prince, and fairy godmother, but that's where the similarities end. How so? Well, the princess is magical, the prince is a vampire, and the supporting cast is a pet fox, spastic gargoyle, perpetually drunk goat, pervy pumpkin, and downright rude Mirror Mirror. Fritzi Cox, the author of the book, is also a player in the story itself; she's a journalist recounting events that happened. I was mesmerized by the intricacies of how that part was weaved in. I loved Penelope, Vail, and their supporting cast of crazies. I enjoyed every second of this book, from the scenes that made me laugh out loud to the ones that made me want to throw my Kindle. Be aware that this one ends with a cliff-hanger! But it's okay. The second book is already out, so you can start gobbling that one up immediately, which is what I'm about to do.
