Book Review of Undead and Unwed.
I enjoyed re-reading Undead and Unwed immensely.
In fact, I liked it so much that I wondered why I didn't before, the first time I read it. It took me nearly half way through the story before I remembered the reason. Eric Sinclair, the male protagonist. He isn't as irritating this time round but I still had a hard time warming up to him, at least until nearly the end. As the story is told from Betsy's perspective, most of Eric's actions seem really high handed. Even a bit untrustworthy. So, it is kind of hard to like him. Until the very end of the story when readers are given a glimpse of what he's thinking that is.
What I do love about the book is the way it was told from Betsy's perspective. Seeing things from her point of view is really hilarious as she makes a mockery of all the vampire cliches. Plus it puts me firmly in her corner as I get to see all her flaws and good points. It is really hard to dislike someone who knows her own faults and is not ashamed of it.
My conclusion : Light and relaxing read to fill in the time. Emphasis on humour rather than the paranormal or romance elements.

This is the only one I have read in the series (though I do have the rest of them and plan on reading them). I agree with your review. I thought it was fun, light, and perfect for a fun night in with a book!
