"Betsy Taylor--former model, newly unemployed secretary, 30, and still single--wakes up after being flattened by a small SUV in a tacky coffin wearing cheap knock-off shoes. Her mother is glad she is back, albeit as a vampire, but her stepmother is enraged that Betsy has reclaimed her designer-shoe collection. With a wealthy best friend and a newly acquired doctor pal who is not susceptible to her formidable allure, she sets out to right wrongs but is abducted by Nostro, a tacky 500-year-old vampire who rules the undead roost. It seems that Betsy is an anomaly: a vampire who doesn't burn in sunlight, can fight the urge to feed, and is not repulsed by religious articles, all of which may make her the prophesied Queen of the Vampires. Teaming up with gorgeous vampire Eric Sinclair, who is in her opinion a major pervert, she takes on Nostro and his minions."

A fun and quick read. I especially loved Betsy's telling off Nostro's vampires for "behaving like B-movie villains" and her rants against clichés.
However, the author can't really commit to a tone for this story and the sex scene near the end seems completely out of place.

Holiday Gift Giving Gift!
Amazing! :D
Thanks faerie-glen to suprise me!


I had to look for the BCID, I was worried no to find it on the first cover, the first pages ... Oh My God, a book without BCID, but finally I got it, I wouldn't have thought that it was on the back cover... :D



Update:2009.11.09.
Well, well, well. What do I say? I had high expectation with this book. I have wanted to read it for ages. Maybe I should have read it when this wish occured to me. Since then my life has changed.
After 100 pages I stopped to read. Its easy language let me read these pages, but its story let me sleep. Betsy is a humorous woman, well, it is a chick-lit. :) Only the story wasn't believable to me.

It is reserved for DitteL, whose wishlist contains this book.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

On the occasion of HGG I sent this book to DitteL whose wishlist contains this book!
Have fun during reading this book.

Thank you very much. I first saw this book and the rest in the series when I visited my local library a couple of months ago and the front cover just drew me in. If it's actually a good book remains to be seen, but I'm glad that I now have the chance to find out.

Also a huge thank you for the rest of the goodies. The bookmark is adorable and there's a chance that my kitten can't bite it in pieces as he has done with so many other of my bookmarks.

I was a bit disappointed with this one. I'd thought it be funnier but I was bored and irritated with most of the characters.

Will be released in the lounge in the Dagmar teatret.
