Undead and Unwed
4 out of 5

Sometimes a narrator can really make or break a book. In this instance Nancy Wu just blew it for me. I can’t stand whiney voices and though she is trying to portray a whiney self centered character she just took it too far.
But -- the storyline, well that is different and the reason I added an extra star. The story is very well paced with a “don’t know what’s coming next” feel that has you laughing out loud.
Not only is life challenging when you are named Elizabeth Taylor, but when you wake up after being hit by a car and you are in a coffin, wearing the ugliest clothes that your evil stepmother could dressed you in, life can only get better. Well, that is if you think being a Queen Vampire is better.
Betsy isn’t your usual vampire; she doesn’t burn in the sun, can wear a cross and doesn’t have to feed like the average vampire. This alone makes Nostro, the evil vampire leader, want Betsy dead, but with the help of a very desirable Eric Sinclair, they take on this dictator and total hilarity pursues.
A wee bit adult at times, but still very funny and definitely a series to follow. But not on audio, I’ll stick with the books.

Sounds like a campy sort of story, Queen of the Vampires indeed! Nice to smile my way through a review. Good job!
