Book Review: Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson!



Recently, I finished reading Undead and Unwed the first book in the Queen Betsy Series by MaryJanice Davidson. I really enjoy series books and I was glad that this first book did not let me down. Of course, I've already started to read another series that Davidson has written, so I knew I would enjoy this one. If you like funny modern vampire stories, then you should definitely pick this one up. I came across it on Amazon.com, and since they have the 4-for-3 special I decided to take advantage of it. So far she has written seven books for this series, so I have much catching up to do.


Following is the synopsis for the book:


Betsy Taylor is having a bad week. First of all she is made redundant from her secretarial job, and then she is run over and killed in a car accident. For most people this would at least be the end of the bad week but not for Betsey. She rises from the dead as a vampire and despite several attempts to make herself dead again she just can’t stay dead.
To make matters worse her new vampire friends seem to think she is their prophesied vampire queen and they want her to help them destroy the mad vampire master Nostrodamus who currently controls all the vampires in the city. Although Nostrodamus is unpleasant, insane and a cliché of every bad vampire movie Betsy has ever seen, she has other important things to do. Like shopping for some new clothes as day wear is no longer appropriate attire for her.
On the plus side she has met the devastatingly attractive vampire Sinclair, possibly the most scrumptious man she has ever met dead or alive…. (http://www.lovevampires.com/mjdundead.htm)
Davidson did a great job on this first book and I have already started to read the second from her series, Undead and Unemployed. I'll let you know more about it when I finish it. If you want a list of her books, go here http://www.amazon.com/gp/series/92826/ref=pd_serl_books?ie=UTF8&edition=paperback.
