Publisher's summary

MaryJanice Davidson's cult hit Undead and

Unwed is a delightful mixture of Sex and the City and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

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.

Critic reviews

"Sexy, steamy, and laugh-out-loud funny, Davidson's chick-lit foray into the paranormal is delightful." (Booklist)

Loved it! Reminded me of Christopher Moore

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. If you like Christopher Moore's Vampire series you'll love this.

Very Cute!

What about Nancy Wu’s performance did you like?

I thought she did a good job. I see she had taken a big hit in other reviews for breathing and mouth noises but I really didn't notice. I think she is able to really bring Betsy's sassy attitude to life.

Any additional comments?

I started this series on book 2 thru the Romance package. I had never seen this author before and decided to give her a try. I am very happy I did and decided to purchase this first book and the third as well. Im enjoying this series very much and I would recommend it.

Cute Read But Not The Best Book

Any additional comments?

The story itself was cute and a fun take on vampires. However that is all that it is, there is no depth to the story line or characters and not much of a plot. Simple and enjoyable listen but nothing earth shattering.

Not Sookie

For all of you out there looking for a Sookie Stackhouse replacement, you will be disappointed. If you take this line for the story being told, you will enjoy it! I did.

Ok listen

I think it would have been better with a good male lead voice. It kept throwing me off and I ended up hating Eric because he sounded like an uppity ass.

Just what I was looking for!

I wanted funny. I wanted vampires. I got it. I'm always fascinated by the various takes on vampires and this one is too cute. I was immediately hooked. I haven't heard the radio in my car since I bought this one. I'm excited to hear the rest but afraid to finish them too soon.

Very Entertaining

Loved this book and can't wait to hear the next. Perfect mix of paranormal, some romance and humor! I was looking for a new series after finishing Charlaine Harris Sookie series, I think I've found my new series! yay:)

Great Storyline...not so great narration

Okay, first the good stuff. MaryJanice Davidson has written a hilarious story. There are plenty of times when you will literally laugh out loud. Betsy Taylor--even her name (Elizabeth Taylor) has a sense of humor--is a hilarious human and makes for an even more hilarious vampire queen. This author has a wonderful sense of humor and her take on the somewhat crowded supernatural/vampire genre is downright refreshing. And of course Betsy's funny encounters with the super handsome vampire Sinclair certainly don't hurt the storyline.

BUT (& that's in all caps for a reason) the narration is, at times, cringe worthy. Not only does Nancy Wu seem to have problems with the various voices, but she makes the most ill-timed pauses. This is a problem because it awkwardly breaks up sentences and sometimes completely ruins the author's joke. In short, this book could have been hold-on-to-your-sides funny, but wasn't because of the narrator. I'm hoping she gets better in the next book because despite her problematic narration this was still a fun read and I'd really like to hear the whole series.
