Je n'ai jamais été une grenouille de bénitier, mais je me souviens très bien des grandes lignes de la religion affirmant que Dieu est omnipotent, omniscient, omniprésent et... immense. Sauf qu'à en croire l'individu petit, chauve et rabougri qui se tient devant moi, il doit y avoir erreur sur la marchandise.

On n'avait qu'à pas m'enlever l'homme que j'aime.

La plupart des gens ont une famille bien comme il faut. Moi, non. Mon fils a des super pouvoirs, ma tante est un vampire, et mon père est gardé prisonnier en enfer.

C'est pourquoi je vais aller le chercher au sous-sol, serrer la pince à Satan et lui faire faux bond dans la foulée. Avec un peu de chance, je m'en sortirai indemne. Enfin... presque.

Je ne sais pas exactement comment ça a commencé, et je ne sais pas non plus de quelle manière tout cela va finir. Quoi qu'il en soit, celui qui fera en sorte que les jeunes vampires arrêtent de se pointer pour s'enterrer dans mon jardin sera mon héros. Et si en plus il est beau, riche et intelligent, je ne me plaindrai pas ! Je veux retrouver ma vie d'avant, tranquille et ennuyeuse à mourir.
