MaryJanice Davidson, Undead and Unwed
Berkley Sensation (2004) ISBN: 0-425-19485-X
Score: 3

First book of an urban fantasy/vampire romance series; very, very similar in tone and style to Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series. The book starts with Betsy dying and discovering she's a vampire. Betsy turns out to be immune to some of the normal vampire weaknesses, which annoys the megalomaniac who rules the local vamp population, except for a couple independents who are convinced Betsy is the prophesied Queen of the Undead. Betsy of course wants nothing to do with any of them, and concerns herself with more important matters, like retrieving her collection of designer shoes from her greedy stepmother.

Second Betsy Taylor novel. Someone is killing vampires, and the Queen of the Undead is responsible for stopping it. Which is rather inconvenient since she just started working at her dream job: selling shoes at Macy's.
