I read it in one day..different spin on vamp books...Paranormal meets chick lit ( )I have to confess, I found this second book not as good as the first one. It was just average. I like the sarcasm and tone (which I was more prepared for this time), but the plot felt sort of hollow to me. Most of the book is Betsy arguing with other people over various issues – where to live, whether or not to work, who loves who, etc. I didn’t think there was really enough chemistry between Betsy and Sinclair here, though they do have their moments. And they don’t really solve the mystery as much as they just happen upon the solution. I find the series entertaining enough to continue, but I’m hoping for a little more oomph in the next one. Betsy is a few months older and settling in to being a vampire. Someone is staking female vampires on alternate Wednesdays and as queen it's up to her to sort it out. She also gets a job selling shoes (where else?!). Although the elements that made the first book so much fun are still there (and come back again in the next one) I found this book weaker, at least because I'd worked out who the bad guys were very, very quickly. Betsy is back and she is looking for a job! determined to live like normal people betsy seeks employment at a highend shoe store where she is in Heaven. Still trying to deal with being undead and the vampire queen has betsy a little stressed and now she has to deal with a murder bent on killing vampires, but that's not all betsy is dealing with she also has Sinclair her oh so sexy vampire boyfriend. This hilariuos world that Ms. Davidson has created only keeps getting better! This series is very entertaining, and Undead and Unemployed is no exception. This series can be described as vampire chick lit comedy, and it does a great job making you laugh, making you scared, and making you believe the romance. The characters are great, the plot moves along quickly, and Betsy is laugh-outloud funny. Recommended for light reading. 0.044 seconds to build listing
