I thought I was sitting pretty until my alimony check was late. That will teach me to depend on a man! Between my guilt of imposing financial ruin on my ex (which was totally justified!) and my desire to be able to take care of my children, I have now joined forces with a private investigator. The upside: It pays a hell of a lot. Plus it's night shift!

The downside: I now see the ugly side of our small town of Charming, Mississippi.

We all wear masks and we all have secrets. And now I'm about to discover my Maker Khalan's biggest one.

It's enough to make a vampire cry. That is, if I had time for the nervous breakdown I so rightly deserve.

In the meantime I will rise to the occasion, drink my blood and be the best damn vampire/ soccer mom/ photographer I can be.

I am Rachel Jones. And I'm the vampire housewife.
