Publisher Description
After a deadly bite from Morningwood's sexiest vampire, it's official—my bad decisions royally suck.
I thought living the dead life would finally land Vail and me on our path to a well-deserved happily ever after. But after countless sleepless nights, an insatiable appetite, and a growing list of enemies, I'm beginning to wonder if my set of bangin' new fangs was a mistake.
With my powerful skill set, Vail and I plan to conquer our enemies and save our worthy cause. But after a teeny-tiny taste of vampire bloodlust, I can't even save myself.
My fragile self-control hangs in a dangerous balance between naive, innocent princess and vicious, evil queen.
Who knew that when my heart stopped, I would become so … heartless?
I don't want to spend my time hunting villains and wreaking a royal havoc. But the never-ending battle for my royal blood leaves me with no choice. If I want a future at Bostwick, I have to put on my big-girl crown and embrace my newfangled role, stopping my enemies once and for all.
I don't need princess charms or rainbows and butterflies when I can easily crush the world under my wicked glass slippers.

Royally Revamped (V.I.L.F., #3) Review
Royally Revamped innovatively weaves together images that at once recall Disney princesses (feminine alignment with nature/communicating with creatures), the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen (princesses being born from flowers) and the fairytales of the Brothers Grimm (talking goats!), to tell the story of Penelope, a vampire princess, who is coming to terms with her recent vampiric transformation, whilst learning about and harnessing her supernatural gifts.
Personally, I take great pleasure in a paranormal story that is female-centred, and which carefully gives equal attention to its heroine’s magical struggles as well as her romantic life, dreams, and desires. Particularly, when the female protagonist is written to have full agency of herself, to be both strong and vulnerable, and her political and supernatural powers are used to take down an outdated and patriarchal vampire council (which is exactly what Royally Revamped delivered). Moreover, what I also very much appreciated from the story was how Penelope’s romantic relationship with Vail (the story’s Hero) is shown to be uncomplicated and comfortable, friendly and intimate. The depiction of such a healthy, stable, and conflict-free relationship, that functions as a place of solace from the suspenseful events of the story, rather than a source of its tribulations, is a refreshing change from other PNR works I’ve read.
Needless to say, I am looking forward to reading more of Fritzi Cox’s work.
P.S. I loved the cameo appearance of a certain pink taco truck 😉
