Undead and Unwed

Betsy was an ordinary, shoe-obsessed executive secretary when her untimely death turned out to be unusually lively. Even she was concerned over the disturbance in the natural order of things, but you can't keep a good shoe obsession down. In fact, death hasn't changed Betsy much, and the vampire community has taken unhappy notice. Nancy Wu captures Betsy's internal conflicts perfectly; she infuses Betsy's dialog with emotions only implied by the words, making Betsy richer, fuller, and funnier. Though Wu can't quite capture the vampire Sinclair's sexiness, she does his arrogance proud. This introduction to Betsy and her undeath will garner countless new fans-and deservedly so.-Jodi L.
