If you think life is complicated, try immortality. Justine Bennett is cursing her life. She's the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth, she hasn't left the house in ages, and it's been over 200 years since she's had sex. Oh, and the Goblet has shape shifted into an espresso machine. Not exactly the stuff grand destiny is made of... Derek LaValle is worried. Due to a family curse, he'll be dead in the space of a week unless he finds the Guardian of the Goblet of Eternal Youth and beheads her. Which wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't so sexy, smart... and ready to behead him right back. *Starred Review* Thanks to a two-century-old curse, for four generations all of the men in Derek LaValle's family have departed this world as soon as they have lived for 31 years, 46 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, and 5 seconds. Derek's male relatives have been killed by everything from babies to lemonade to pet hamsters, and not only is Derek less than thrilled about his date with Death, he's worried about his twin, Quincy. There is only one way to break the curse--behead the Guardian and steal the Goblet of Eternal Youth--and Derek has only one week left. Justine Bennett has been the Guardian for two hundred years, and she's mighty tired of being celibate in New York City with only the shape-shifting goblet and her best friend, Theresa, who has been turned into a dragon, for company. Rowe's laugh-out-loud paranormal romance has a breakneck plot, delightfully bizarre situations, and the quirkiest of quirky characters: a lovesick Satan, a pretzel-addicted femme fatale dragon, and a goblet that changes into an espresso machine.
