Waking up in a tacky coffin and wearing off-brand shoes, Betsy Taylor can't believe the horrible turn her life has taken; then she discovers she's a vampire. Soon, Betsy becomes a participant in a power struggle between the forces of darkness. With only her friend Jessica and the hunky vampire Sinclair to help her, this new "Queen of Vampires" will have a tough time getting her afterlife straight.

What did you love best about Undead and Unwed?

Undead and Unwed is not your typical vampire romance. It was very light and funny. I think reading the book would be different from listening to the book. The narrator did a fabulous job.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The book seemed quick to end with a hot and steamy pool scene. I hope there are more scenes like this in future books... WOW!

What about Nancy Wu’s performance did you like?

I loved Nancy Wu narrating the book. She was hilarious. I definately had some laugh out loud moments.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved to laugh.... A LOT!

Any additional comments?

I had seen this book in the bookstore in the past. I totally judged the book by its cover. I only downloaded it because it was on sale. And I'm glad I did. I was delightfully suprised. I will be listening to the next book in the series very soon. Happy Listening!

Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers - the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer. For 700 years, he has resisted temptation. But not tonight... Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers....

Grave Sight draws listeners into the intriguing world of Harper Connelly, a woman with a unique gift: she can "see" the deceased and how they died. A teenage girl from a small Ozarks town is missing and feared dead. Hired by local police, Harper locates the girl's body in a nearby forest. But there's more than one corpse in those woods, and the second one raises questions no one wants to ask.

Would you try another book from Charlaine Harris and/or Alyssa Bresnahan?

I've read all of Charlaine's Sookie Stackhouse series. I wanted to try the Harper Connelly series since the Sookie series is coming to an end.

If you’ve listened to books by Charlaine Harris before, how does this one compare?

I have not listen to any of Charlaine Harris books. This is the first.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Alyssa Bresnahan?

Maybe.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not. Maybe if it was on DVD or and HBO Series, I'd watch it.

Would you be willing to try another book from Lauren Dane? Why or why not?

Yes. The book was very erotic. I enjoyed the twist with the story. I would likely read another Lauren Dane book.

What about Isabelle Gordon’s performance did you like?

Some of the voices were laughable at times. But that did not steer me from the content... HOT! HOT! HOT!

Betsy Taylor needs a job and amazingly lands the perfect one: selling designer shoes at Macy's. But the other vamps, including sexy Sinclair, don't want their queen selling shoes. And the vampire hunters are becoming a real pain, murdering innocent vampires. It seems that everyone wants something from Betsy.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Not that I can think of off. It just didn't keep my attention.

I enjoyed the first book much more. The heroin seemed much to valley-girlish.

What aspect of Nancy Wu’s performance would you have changed?

Nancy still cracks me up. I did enjoy her performance. Just the story was just "eh".

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Not likely... Maybe if it was on DVD.
