Title: Undead and Unemployed Author: MaryJanice Davidson type of book: Adult Fiction (romance and vampires) call number: PB/ROM - place this book on hold -

This book is strong in character and story.

Summary:
This book is the sequel to Undead and Unwed. Betsy is still in her first months of being undead and queen . . .and she is not coping too well. She's looking for work to pay the bills, and finding parts of being undead - like not being able to eat solids foods - disappointing.

She is a funny, likeable airhead, as well as brave and noble, yet easily annoyed with a quick temper, especially with the overly protective, very dark and sexy Sinclair.

I might recommend this book.

Why?
This quickly read novel has Chick Lit emphasis with a rough, erotic outlook on relationships and sex; there are no overly explicit descriptions of sexual encounters - they are more action based and brief. The plot is fast paced with a slight mystery to solve and some unique laws about vampire life are revealed. After all, Betsy is still discovering one new law concealed in the Book of the Dead on a daily basis.

Readers who like edgy Chick Lit and paranormal novels with lots of witty banter and humor should read this book.
