Undead and Unwed (Queen Betsy, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 242 more book reviews


The first book written about Betsy Taylor, "Queen of the Undead". When Betsy wakes up thirsting for blood, her new vampire friends tell her she's the prophesized vampire queen. Betsy could care less about politics; all she wants is a large stash of designer shoes. So that's how the vampires get her interested in helping them overthrow a power-hungry vampire - by promising her a shopping spree for designer shoes! By the end of the book, Betsy has accepted her new status in life (or is it non-life?). But Ferragamos shoes and other shoes of that ilk are still a priority with Betsy. I gave this book an 8 score since I didn't find it as funny as the reviews on the cover claimed but it was humorous nonetheless. Betsy is basically a shallow character, not because she's obsessed with designer shoes, but because she's oblivious to most of the vamps and people around her. She's a ditzy character on the surface which makes this book a fun, light hearted read that took me only one night to finish.
