Undead and Unwed

Elizabeth Taylor is having a bad birthday which ends up with her dead. Betsy, as she prefers to be known, wakes up later to realize that the world has moved on without her and she is still here among the living, but as what? This first book introduces you to her friends and her life as it was, is, and what it might become.

I had never read or heard of the author when I picked up this book, I still do not know how I came across it, but I am glad I did. The writing style reminds me of another favorite author of mine: Lass Small. It is quick-witted, smart, and relatable. Now you are thinking, “How are vampires relatable?” Betsy does not see herself as a vampire and that is the key point of the story. She is just like the rest of us and just struggling to get along in this crazy thing we call life - with the exception that everyone is trying to kill her. She handles it all with humor, sarcasm, and style. Davidson focuses on the secondary characters and the relationships involved which is important for a series and this is done smoothly.

This quick read is full of sarcasm and quick wit. It has a range of characters including LGBT and includes a group sex scene (Betsy is not in it).
