Publisher Description
With every commitment comes sacrifice …
College junior Jill Babineux knows where her priorities lie. Between a full course load, her blood pledge to feed a certain vampire, and all the community service hours she’s got to log with her sisters in Alpha Beta Omega Sorority, the last thing on her mind is finding love, especially with an immortal.
Which works out just fine for Miyoko “Tokyo” Hayashi who’s been so busy enjoying her wild days and even kinkier nights, she’s never had a reason to speak to the tiny know-it-all. But after a random run-in and a few carefully plotted encounters, Miyoko learns that there’s more to the sorority’s least favorite member.
Miyoko never thought she’d actually start to like the girl, let alone love her, but when true evil comes for Jill, Miyoko finds herself willing to do anything to protect her. Anything.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The third installment of Weatherspoon's Vampire Sorority Sisters series (after Blacker Than Blue) doesn't commit to the setting's potential either as porn or as camp the way it should. The sex is not juicy enough, the sisters' cattiness not far enough over the top, and the characterizations not quite broad enough even with the distinctiveness of the main characters' narrative voices to elevate this beyond a forgettable, formulaic same-sex college romance. Unpopular good girl Jill is trying to design a sex education course for Maryland University, but her sexual experience is limited to the orgasms induced when vampire Ginger feeds on her and the lazy post-feeding orgies among the girls of Alpha Beta Omega. She secretly reaches out to shape-shifting rebel vampire Tokyo to serve as a fake research girlfriend, but the relationship grows real enough to cause conflict in the sorority house. A secondary plot about a demon threat targeting the vampire community feels more driven by logistics than fear and is largely disconnected from the romance, and its resolution requires Weatherspoon to insert an unexplained deux ex machina to give the romance its required happy ending.
