Publisher's summary

Vampire Governor Belladonna Barrone is facing the challenge of her life. Literally. Can she outwit and outlast the vampire council? She has no idea, but she has no plans to go down without a fight.

If she manages to survive, another challenge awaits her. Can she handle the responsibility that comes with accepting the crown? Being governor is one thing. Being queen? That’s a whole different set of problems.

And there’s a whole new set of enemies who are out to make sure she doesn’t succeed.

All Donna knows for sure is that it’s time to embrace the suck.

This is my fouth or fifth hearing.

The storyline from book to book was twisted and well thought out. Thanks for a great book.

whiney moment

throughout this series Donna has been a badass and doesn't whine or be overdramatic. when she thought Pierce had died and when she thought she killed him in the dream and was besotted she was irritating me. he can't die but this is the only time in any of the series that she didn't listen or use the logic she normally uses. maybe I'm just hormonal but it was exasperating.

I hope there are more books to come!

This series just keeps getting better. The characters become more likable and the world more interesting. I hope it is going to continue!

So sorry to come to the end!

During the months between book 4 and book 5 I listened to the entire series many times, each time picking up more story threads that I wanted to be explored. Embrace the Suck was very satisfying. It pulled the story together but still left me wanting more.
Had to love the way Fitzhugh was taken care of. Gonna miss Donna and her squad!

You need this series in your life

The final addition to this series was the perfect ending. The way Kristen Painter pulls you in with the characters and the story had me crying at the end. Simply amazing. Kristen Painter is pure magic!
