The bestselling author of the Dead Is series is back with this thrilling conclusion to this snarky, hilarious vampire romance tale!

Vampire-witch hybrid Tansy Mariotti has exactly one goal: to stop her mother’s Vegas wedding.

It’s not because she hates weddings. It’s not because the groom is her boyfriend’s dad (although yuck). It’s not even because Vegas weddings are cliché as hell. It’s because her mom is an evil incarnate vamp known as The Executioner. Nothing good can come of someone marrying a person named The Executioner. Nothing.

With the help of her werewolf boyfriend, her bestie, her granny’s no-crave-blood tonic, and her favorite stake—a drumstick—Tansy is Vegas-bound and ready to raise hell, all while hoping her witch side can keep her fangs at bay. Only suddenly, her witch side is fading…fast.

Tansy's running out of time to stop her mom and save herself—before what happens in Vegas stakes in Vegas. 


Marlene Perez's A Sucker for You is the third and final installment in the authors Afterlife trilogy. The story actually picks up where I'm With the Banned finished. 17-year-old Tansy Mariotti is a witch/vampire hybrid called Striga Vie. She's also known as the Queen of the Vampires. But Tansy has a whole lot of issues coming her way. The first begins with a trip to Las Vegas with her boy friend Vaughn, his pack of werewolves, along with Tansy's best friend Skylar who really is the cause of her becoming a hybrid. 

All she wants is to find her mother, Vanessa and Mr. Sheridan who is Vaughn's father and maybe spend a little alone time with her boyfriend. Tansy's 1/2 sisters, Rose and Thorn who are hunters she's just recently met, have chosen to come along since they were raised in Vegas. On top of all this is the fact that someone sent Tansy a precious stone (ruby) that her mother aka The Executioner wants and is willing to kill her only daughter for. If that weren't enough! 

Tansy learns that her dead beat dad, Mason Alicante, has known she was alive this entire time. And now, she learns that he's in charge of the Paranormal Activities Committee (PAC) who trained Rose and Thorn to follow in his footsteps. Tansy's own challenges are nothing to sneeze about. Even though her Granny has tried hard to create a tonic that holds the vampire graving from taking over her witch side, it's getting harder and harder to control her thirst. So, with everything that Tansy and her friends face, it's the issues with her mother which are the most dangerous. 

Vanessa will do anything to get the ruby from Tansy, including targeting Tansy's friends, her father, her sister, while looking for a powerful tiara said to belong to a women who is said to have bathed in the blood of her victims. Respect goes out to Vaughn for not running away as fast as he could after he learns that he now is the boyfriend of a vampire Queen, all the while struggling to gain control over his own new abilities to shift into a werewolf. Tansy's father gets no love from me, even though he clearly knew she was alive, he could have have warned her about who Vanessa really was, and what she was going to deal with now that she was a vampire/witch hybrid with people eager to take her down. 

This book has been pitched for those who have read Crave, Twilight, Legacies, and, The Vampire Diaries. I do absolutely recommend that the book be read as it was released so that you don't spoil anything that happened in previous books.
