Undead and Unwed fluff and none the worst for that I just mooched Sun in Glory, edited by Mercedes Lackey, and tomorrow I'll be sending out The Screwtape Letters and Undead and Unwed.

I liked Undead and Unwed but I prefer Katie MacAlister's vamp/humor novels. I've read Sex and the Single Vampire and Sex, Lies and Vampires by her so far and I really liked them.
