Summary: Heroine is a vain, selfish, airheaded twit. Not worth your time
Comment: I really REALLY wanted to like this book and had hoped this was a series to sink into now that I've finished all the Sookie Stackhouse books. Wrong. Betsy is nothing like Sookie - no brains, no brawn, no courage, no common sense... there is nothing about this character that earns my respect or interest and she's not really funny.
Scene after scene in the book has Betsy making fun of someone she doesn't know, assuming she is smarter and better than everyone she meets, taking advantage of her true friends, badmouthing her grieving parents after her death and resurrection, disposing of a friend's CDs because she personally doesn't care for HIS musical tastes, and in the end, Betsy essentially sells herself for shoes.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for gorgeous handmade Italian shoes! Betsy's life revolves around her vanity AND she is a nitwit. That drove me crazy for the entire book. I kept hoping Sinclair would just stake her. I will pass on the rest of the books in this series.

Summary: I really wanted to like this book
Comment: I really wanted to like this book. I've read and enjoyed many books in this genre, but Betsy is the worst kind of heroine. She's shallow, stupid, and hard to take. She loves shoes and has little respect for anything. Hardly anyone I want to read about and I wish I had my money back. If you haven't read the Sookie Stackhouse books, then read those instead. If you're a shallow shoe lover that thinks it's funny to insult other women because they need pedicures and if you want to cheer a heroine who cares so little for other's things that she throws a friend's classical CDs out of the window of the friend's car then... good luck.

Summary: Delicious!
Comment: I did not know what to expect when I opened Undead and Unwed. To be honest, I liked the cover and being a huge fan of Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse-books) and Stephenie Meyer (Twilight), I craved more vampire stories and was looking for something new when I stumbled upon this little book.
I loved this book. It was hysterical and I laughed out loud several times. I immediately fell in love with "Queen Betsy" and her entourage. We first meet "Elisabeth Taylor" before she is a vampire and get to go through her transformation with her, which is delivered with amazing humor (she "dies" on the day she looses her job and it is also her birthday...sucks, right!!?). Queen Betsy's love for shoes is the only reason she agrees to become the Queen, and maybe, just maybe Mr. Sinclair also plays a part!!!
I am also a shoe addict which is probably what made me connect so well with the main character. It is a little on the naughty side, but it was far from being tacky or cheap. I liked it so well, I ended up reading all seven books in the series in three weeks!! They are quick reads and not deep, but extremely entertaining! I highly recommend them all!!!

Summary: I laughed so hard I woke my poor husband up
Comment: This book is funny - laugh out loud funny - I love her attitude about just continuing with her life and not let a thing like being dead stop her from having a good time and spending time with her not dead friends and family.

Summary: Funny! Funny! Funny series!
Comment: This is like reading a romantic comedy only the heroine is a vampire. She wakes up in the mortuary and doesn't even realize she is now a vampire though and it's hilarious watching her figure it all out. You'll like her and will laugh your way through her escapades. I have read the entire series now and I intend on reading it again one of these days. I read it for the humor more than anything else. If you liked the Southern Vampire Mystery series by Charlaine Harris, then you will like this too. This vampire is more worried about her stepmother stealing her large shoe collection than about being dead! The only thing that I didn't like was the foul language from Betsy. The author has her cussing every other word in some scenes. It is really distasteful and the story doesn't need it to be funny.
