With all the foodies out there, this delightful series deserves a long shelf life...and many more courses."—Kirkus Reviews"Fans of Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody . . . will enjoy this."—School Library Journal"Age-appropriate humor via an outspoken, lovable, take-charge narrator.

It’s Christmas at the Cressida House and all Hell is breaking loose.
Tree? Decorated and lit. Elf on a Shelf? Seated with style. Baby Jesus on the mantle? Fourteen neatly in a row. Life sized Nutcracker? Creepy, but standing proud. Invitations sent to entire immortal family to celebrate the holiday? Possibly the stupidest damn thing I’ve ever done.
Mixing Heaven and Hell on my cousin’s famous birthday seemed like such a brilliant idea. I wanted my baby’s first Christmas to be special—memorable. I’d like chalk my heinous idea up to having been fallen down drunk, but that won’t fly as it’s insanely difficult for a Vampyre to tie one on. So instead I’ll deal with obscene gifts from relatives, kidnapped rock stars and catering by Mother Nature.
To complicate matters, our new family pet thinks the whole house is his toilet. Ethan and I can’t even find a room with working lock on the door to spread a little holiday cheer.
Never, never again. Christmas from now on will be at a freakin’ spa for the undead—no poles for dancing and no slumber parties with the Devil.
I just have to make it through the next twenty-four hours without beheading a beloved one.
Merry freakin’ Christmas—and Happy New Year.

The door was kicked open and Rebecca was carried into the cottage. Mary and Ned watched in horror as her body, limp and bedraggled, was carried up the narrow stairs and laid on the bed. It was 1831 – a time of great unrest in England – and tragedy loomed on the estate of Thornhall Manor. This is a tale steeped in the atmosphere of those pre-Victorian days – the inns with their foaming tankards and buxom serving wenches; the coaches and horses and travelling tinkers on rutted, muddy lanes; the good-natured blacksmith, accused of murder and transported to the penal colony in Botany Bay; and the sinister, grasping Peter Nesbit, forever plotting and scheming . . .
