\"\"<\/a>Betsy thought things couldn’t get much worse when she got fired from her job. She soon discovered that was wrong, when she woke up in a coffin (after being smashed by a truck) dressed in pink and wearing her step-mother’s castoff shoes.<\/p>\n

So, first and foremost Undead and Unwed<\/em> is cute and amusing. And also not my kind of book.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean it wasn’t good. The story was interesting, the pacing was good, the world building was very well done. The problem was that I do not care the slightest about shoes or fashion. And the main character, Betsy, was obsessed with with.<\/p>\n

She was also obsessed with Eric, a hot, cute, and sexy vampire, who she gleefully disdained, which meant they were destined for each other.<\/p>\n

Ugh.<\/p>\n

Definitely not my thing.<\/p>\n

But I kept reading because it was a cute story and I really wanted to know what was going to happen to Besty. Because she isn’t a bad character, just someone to whom I am completely unable to relate. <\/p>\n

So cute and fun, but not my thing and I definitely won’t be seeking out more of this series, although if you like Romance than this may well be Your Thing.<\/p>\n

It just isn’t mine.
\nRating: 6\/10<\/strong>
