Blood, death, music & mirth: 'Blood Relative' is new vampire fun on the Dirty Coast in sequel to award-winning V-Life #1
V-Life: Blood Relative, the new novel in the Sugar Bernstein van-life vampire series
Sugar Bernstein, Jewish princess and rookie vampire, is still working out the kinks of being a vampire living in a van--this time down by the beach.
I loved the first book. This one is even better. A surprising depth of emotion...Totally satisfying ending…A strong series that makes the reader want to keep reading.”
BAY SAINT LOUIS, MS, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It’s fangs out yet again with Honey Parker’s new V-Life: Blood Relative. This boisterous and bloody sequel has been released in paperback and on Kindle just as the first fan favorite V-Life: So It Begins picks up a gold medal in the Readers’ Favorite Book Awards. — Pamela Wallace, Oscar-winning screenwriter & novelist
In the new book, newly minted vampire Sugar Bernstein is back with luxury van life, Jewish guilt, her furry feline sidekick Kitten, and that same big bunch of undead, RV-living funsters from the first book—except now they’re all having fun after sunset on the Redneck Riviera.
Hanging out at the Moonglow RV Park in Gulf-coast Mississippi, there’s easy access to great music and drunken tourists, and they’re all ready to live fast and stay undead as the young-at-heart nightwalkers they are.
Sugar’s nemesis Alex, she-vil queen of darkness, has been silent and off the radar. It turns out Alex is that rare vampire she-creature capable of procreating. Revenge is in the air as Sugar is enlisted by her veteran vampire friends to participate in fatal swordplay—but why isn’t anybody asking who’s the father and where is he?
Additionally, a health scare with her own father takes Sugar back up north to New Jersey with her whole family—not to mention the ever-interested Rabbi Glass who seems to be suffering from a potentially fatal attraction to forbidden fruit.
And handsome black Mac is back too, sporting his highlander garb that answers the age-old question, “What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt?” But when keeping secrets ensues and Mac realizes he’s being lied to, their undead love life gets ugly.
Meanwhile, Sugar is a sensation with her new revenue stream that entails singing in bars. The hours are perfect for a girl who sleeps the day away—but potentially hazardous when confronted by the antisocial nightcrawlers who can’t take no for an answer.
Pamela Wallace, 25-time novelist, Oscar-winning screenwriter and delightfully cynical romance author says of this sequel, “I loved the first book. This one is even better. A surprising depth of emotion...Totally satisfying ending…A strong series that makes the reader want to keep reading.”
