Undead and Unwed (Undead #1) by MaryJanice Davidson

Summary:

It’s been a helluva week for Betsy Taylor. First, she loses her job. Then, to top things off, she’s killed in a car accident. But what really bites (besides waking up in the morgue dressed in a pink suit and cheap shoes courtesy of her stepmother) is that she can’t seem to stay dead. Every night she rises with a horrible craving for blood. She’s not taking too well to a liquid diet.

Worst of all, her new friends have the ridiculous idea that Betsy is the prophesied vampire queen, and they want her help in overthrowing the most obnoxious, power-hungry vampire in five centuries – a badly dressed Bela Lugosi wannabe, natch. Frankly, Betsy couldn’t care less about vamp politics, but they have a powerful weapon of persuasion: designer shoes. How can any self-respecting girl say no? But a collection of Ferragamos isn’t the only temptation for Betsy. It’s just a lot safer than the scrumptious Sinclair – a seductive bloodsucker whose sexy gaze seems as dangerous as a stake through the heart…

My Thoughts:

Betsy, the main character, has one hell of a mouth on her and I so love her for it! She is definitely not afraid to give people a piece of her mind…although it does tend to get her in trouble on occasion! She’s just a regular woman, a recently laid off secretary to be exact, who wakes up dead (çHubs and I bring up that scene from Scary Movie 3 a lot, lol). After an, um adjustment period, she begins to learn the hard way that she cannot just go back to ‘living life’ the way she was before. I will definitely be continuing this series to see what kind of trouble she can get herself into.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
