This is a very funny, witty and sexy book series. I wanted to share it with you all because I've had a couple of friends who don't like romances read these books and get hooked on them. In fact one guy got his whole family to read them.
There are 5 books in the series:
Undead and Unwed
Undead and Unemployed
Undead and Unappreciated
Undead and Unreturnable
Undead and Unpopular
I tried to start reading them with the fourth book and didn't get what was going on, so I highly recommend starting with the first one, Undead and Unwed. Here's an amazon review from Booklist:
"Betsy Taylor--former model, newly unemployed secretary, 30, and still single--wakes up after being flattened by a small SUV in a tacky coffin wearing cheap knock-off shoes. Her mother is glad she is back, albeit as a vampire, but her stepmother is enraged that Betsy has reclaimed her designer-shoe collection. With a wealthy best friend and a newly acquired doctor pal who is not susceptible to her formidable allure, she sets out to right wrongs but is abducted by Nostro, a tacky 500-year-old vampire who rules the undead roost. It seems that Betsy is an anomaly: a vampire who doesn't burn in sunlight, can fight the urge to feed, and is not repulsed by religious articles, all of which may make her the prophesied Queen of the Vampires. Teaming up with gorgeous vampire Eric Sinclair, who is in her opinion a major pervert, she takes on Nostro and his minions. Sexy, steamy, and laugh-out-loud funny, Davidson's chick-lit foray into the paranormal is delightful. Diana Tixier Herald

For those interested, here's the first sentence: "THE day I died started out bad and got worse in a hurry."

So what'cha think? Sound like something you'd read? Why or why not?
