She then assumes she's evil and try's kill herself.
On her way home, she accidentally kills a few bad guys that are robbing and talking about raping a mom and her daughter. The heroine dies in a car accident only to wake up in the funeral home a few nights later. **1.5 "More Annoying than Entertaining" stars** This sounded like a fun read, but it wasn't!!! I recommend grabbing a couple of these books as they are very quick reads and indulgently addictive. If you like vamps and sex (or shoes), this series is worth the awkward trip to the romance section. Beyond the somewhat gratuitous "torrid love scenes" indicative of the genre, which, despite their female perspective manage to be excitingly readable (read: it's not all man chests and pork swords), this book throws at you a fun mix of spontaneous, wisecracking characters that don't fail in providing a few hours of lighthearted entertainment. Davidson's protagonist, Betsy, is a zany, smart-alecky newbie vamp who, of course, blunders her way from situation to situation with a charming mix of naivete and sass. But what they lack in length, they more than make up for in fun. Each book in the series is very short, only a few hours of reading time. Now that my inner-male is somewhat pacified, I can continue talking about the book itself.
This notwithstanding, I didn't hesitate in scooping up the first in the series, a lovely pink and purple book. To my bemusement, I found the series in the romance section. Not only did I not expect to ever read anything from this side of the bookstore, I never expected to enjoy it quite so much.īefore I go any further, my macho side feels compelled to point out that I originally stumbled upon one of Davidson's books in the new releases section and, having recently read Christopher Moore's Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, the page and a half I read of the book seemed like just the thing to cure my vamp itch. Shuffling through the romance section of Barnes & Noble is a new and awkward treat for me. This is one of those guilty pleasure books that you feel somewhat embarassed about.
