The Age of the Vampire Goddess — Kristen Marquette

From housewife to Vampire Queen, Valerie Murray has come a long way from the 1950's wife and mother she once was in Sangre Valley. As Queen she passionately tries to persuade the vampire population to abandon their murderous ways and turn to alternative feeding methods, but has been met with strong opposition from both Col. Henrick, who wants Valerie out of the way so he can create his own personal army of vampires, and a new group of vampires. The Vampire Supremacists wish to keep the old vampiric bloodlust alive, shunning vegetarianism and symbiosis, and claiming evolutionary superiority over humans. They will do anything not to see their way of life end. Meanwhile Valerie is trying to help her kids transition from children to adults. Carrying the secret of Gabriella's death, twenty year old John has become a workaholic human activist in his mother's campaign. After her boyfriend's death and deep in depression, Amelia struggles to understand her own vampirism, while fifteen year old Harry is having the time of his life in New York City. But Valerie has yet to meet her greatest challenge. When she and the children are kidnapped, she is confronted with a brand new enemy, perhaps more dangerous than any other.
