I hate chick lit books due to its usual vapid content, but after reading this I decided to make an exception. Undead and Unwed has interesting story lines and characters, irreverent humor and sexy vampires.

Betsy is annoying as all get out, but she knows how to set the vampire world on its ear. Not only does she not play the game, but it turns out she’s their queen. Not that she wants to be, mind you, but when the stakes (no pun intended, but hey) rise and the lives of her friends depend on her taking action — to say nothing of a substantial bribe of designer shoes — she rises to the occasion, kicks some vampire butt, and turns into a queen to be proud of.

Lots of fun so long as you’re not looking for anything more than mind candy.

Hysterical. Chick lit meets vampires. Betsy’s 30th birthday sucks – she’s laid off, her party is cancelled and she’s killed chasing after her cat. She wakes up a couple days later in the morgue in an awful pink suit and payless shoes and boy is she mad. Really wonderful.
