Undead and Unwed
by Davidson, MaryJanice
Betsy Taylor is a woman who loves designer shoes and her cat, but she definitely did not sign up for an afterlife as a vampire. After a sudden, rather inconvenient death, she finds herself resurrected and thrust into a hidden supernatural society that expects her to be a powerful queen. The beauty of this book is that Betsy has zero interest in being a brooding creature of the night. Instead, she approaches her new reality with a healthy dose of sarcasm, a shopping addiction, and a refusal to take the vampire hierarchy seriously. It is a breezy, fast-paced read that prioritizes humor over horror. If you enjoy protagonists who stay true to their shallow but lovable selves while facing impossible odds, this is your next obsession. It is essentially a rom-com with fangs.
