Book Description:
Betsy Taylor is having a helluva week. She's been laid off, her stepmother boycotted her birthday party (again), her cat isn't speaking to her, she can count on one hand how often she's gotten laid in the last 18 months, and she's dead.
As if this wasn't bad enough, she can't seem to stay dead. She rises each night in search of unholy sustenance and designer footwear. Worse, the other vampires are convinced she's been Foretold... in other words, she's the new vampire queen.
More concerned with her looks than vamp politics, Betsy just wants to keep her head down and adjust to her new liquid diet. Trouble is, the only vampires who want her more than the good guys are the bad guys. And when the good guys are ruthless, and the bad guys are unhinged, and they ALL want to have sex with her to cement their power base, it's tough for a modern girl to keep her shapely butt out of trouble... and out of bed.

I was disappointed with this book. I was excited to read it, but was disappointed almost as soon as I began reading it. The main character is annoying and completely unlikeable and I could have done without the explicit sex scenes - they were very out of place & added nothing to the book! I have not decided yet if I will bother to read the rest of the series.

This is a breezy Sunday afternoon read. The heroine is a cross between Paris Hilton and Sailor Moon - bumbling, vain, obsessed with labels, and yet very loyal to her friends.
I was not impressed with the graphic sex, and the one liners get a bit tiresome.
Still, it's a fair enough "brain candy" book, that doesn't take itself too seriously, and doesn't waste your time trying to get you to take it seriously either.

This is the story of Betsy, who has a week from hell and winds up undead, only to find out that she's a prophesied 'Queen' to the vampires. Hilariously written, sarcasm and wit combine to make for a very sassy main character. The book is very easy and quick to read, the characters real and endearing.

I've read this book twice now and it just cracks me up. It's one of my favorite chick lit books ever! Betsy is a funny and ditzy character that I find impossible to resist.

I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't even make it through the whole thing. The main character was just too annoying for me. I didn't like Betsy from the start, and I hoped as the book went on she would become less obnoxious. No such luck I'm afraid.

I think Davidson too funny... a very light, funny and enjoyable read! And so are the additional books in the series... I am on #3 now! If you like this book you may also like Charline Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels. Though if you though this had too much sex you may have to go for young adult romances... try the Twilight series by Meier.

Let me start off by saying that I'm not a huge fan of vampire books. I just don't have much of an interest. However, after reading MaryJanice Davidson's Fred the Mermaid series, I decided to check this series out. I'm glad I did. Betsy is likeable, Sinclair is sexy, and the book in general is LOL funny. I look forward to #2- Undead and Unemployed. It isn't heavy vampire readiing, but it's gory enough for me. :)

Breezy, easy afternoon read (only took me about three hours or so) with snappy dialogue and laugh out loud instances. The main character, Betsy, is a silly trollop who's very much into herself - oh, and designer shoes. Sort of a silly book, but amusing and I'm interested enough to read the next book.
Betsy started to nag on me after a little while - Davidson had her attitude bump up throughout the book so while she's a smart-talking secretary at the start, towards the end she's constantly making wise cracks at everything and anything's expense. Almost Buffy-esque but trying too hard. Anywhoo, like I said, amusing and easy read with a few down points - let's see how the second book fares!

Great Book. Very funny, Queen Betsy has a great sense of humor, and whitty "nick-names" and come backs. Her shoe obsession just adds to it. Great interaction and play between characters. Can't wait to continue with the series. Though the Author's website says to read two other books proir to this one for the series as it overlapps with another series.
Melinda E. (Cute story. I thought the heroine was a little more like Carrie from Sex and the City than Paris Hilton. Story definitely doesn't take itself seriously.
Kelly J. (Entertaining as all get out, Betsy has all kinds of funny problems now that she's dead. A different vampire book, but usually overpriced at the store for a short story.
Carol V. (My stepdaughter read this series and I had no plans to. Then I found the first 3 books at a thrift store. I decided to give them a try and was surprised to find I really enjoyed them. I'm not one for the intimate parts but overall I like this series.
Enjoy Vampire series, BUT NOT THIS ONE. I was bored with it. I did not care for the main charecter at all. I forced my way through the first book and half way through the secong hoping that she would grow on me. She never did. If anything I grew to dislike her more
Denise B. (Sorry to say I didn't like the book. I just couldn't get into the story line.
At first I thought this book was a little hokey but then I really got in to it. The author writes with with a wonderful humor and a sort of realism. I can easily picture the heroine selling out for designer footwear! I know people just like her. Great book, can't wait to read the next in the series!
Great series. Love the humor in the storyline. Easy quick read.
I enjoyed this book. It was a quick easy read. Shopaholic meets Vampires.
I look forward to the next.
