I love vampire books, Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, Laurel Hamilton, et al. But this is the WORST vampire book I have EVER read. It's a horrible chick lit book, it's a horrible romance book - the big sex scene that builds up happens on page 200 of a 255 page book, and it's a horrible vampire novel. combine a poor rip off of sex and the city, bad writing, and cliche on top of cliche (which the main character and narrator comments on how lame cliche's are and still they are there!), and you have this sad excuse for a story. avoid this book like the dead! the writing is below average and the narrator comes off sound like a 16 year old. 'ew, gross, yuck' and the ilk and littered on every page and uttered constantly by the 'queen of vamps'. give me a break.Show Less

Don't Bother!
This is the worst book I've ever read! The character Betsy is incredibly annoying and none of the other characters are developed enough to even try to make a connection with any of them. I kept reading hoping that Betsy had more depth, but it never got any better. Her obsession with shoes is ridiculous and a complete rip off of "Sex in the City". If you're looking for a fantasy/vampire type of book, don't waste your time on this one.

Surprisingly Witty Vampire Fantasy
This is a must read. MaryJanice Davidson has fun with the characters and keeps the plot moving. If you are looking for a fun and witty read this is it. Betsy walks us through her trials as a new Vampire. She is an unconventional vampire in most senses. She has loyal followers that keep her in line and alive, or what ever you call an undead vampire that lives.

Undead and Unwed
I read this book after reading reviews because I enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series and heard it was similar. This book was a pleasant surprise! Betsy was hilarious and Sinclair sounds just plain hot. It had plenty of humor and romance and even some action thrown in. I'm definitely excited to read the rest of Betsy's story.

Not a Favorite
I got this book because based on previous reviews others said it was funny. I hated this book. I found that it was basicly one long pointless thought. Most of the things that vampires do in this book makes no sense, such as drinking coffee and eat real food. I don't recommend this book.

Lame.
Was this a book about a woman becoming a vampire with humorous consequences? Was this book written by an adult? Or was this book about an extremely unlikeable character, written by a 12 year old girl?....I'd have to go with the latter. Or at least that's how I felt while reading this garbage. At first I thought Betsy, the main character, was smart, tough and funny; the sarcastic humor was right on target. But as the chapters went on, I realized that she wasn't smart at all and wasn't nearly as funny as I expected her to be. She then came off as nothing more than a desperate, immature woman who needs a good smack. And to top it all off, everything had a major amateurish vibe. The writing was sooo bad, the plot unfolded horribly, and the humor got extremely repetetive very early on; I thought I was reading the same few lines over and over and over again. The author tried to make every single line of the book humorous...which was the most annoying thing since there were only about three lines per chapter that were ACTUALLY funny. Skip this book....unless of course you're a 12 year old girl, then go ahead.

Betsy is the Best!
This is in my top favorite five books of all time. There'a a little bit of everything - romance, mystery, drama, and comedy. The dialogue is to die for! It pulls you through the book at breakneck speed and had me laughing out loud and reading small excerpts to anyone within earshot of my howling. The characters are down to earth and this reader can really identify with the beloved betsy who says exactly what's on her mind and has remarkable taste in shoes.

If you love vampire books, you will love this one!
When I think of a romance book I think of the Fabio books. This is nothing like that. Actually as far as romance goes, there is about 2 pages of that per book. This book is HILIARIOUS! I don't want to give too much away, but this book has a wide variety of crazy, sexy characters who you are bound to relate to one if not more of them. I would definately recommend this to adults. There is some bad lanuage and like i said some pages that would be inappropriate for young readers, but overall this is a great book!

Read it in a day
This was a fast read for me. I have mixed feelings about the book. I think the author did have something good going but I think she lost it halfway through.
I loved Jessica, Marc not so much. I am really glad that the author didn't go on and on about how hard it was to give time two friends or the struggle for her to maintain their friendship along with her new vampire friends.
I found the playful bantering between her and others funny and rude. Rude not being the right word for it. There is a time and place for that kind of talk and this girl just talks like that to everyone. Does she not have any respect for anyone? No wonder she was laid off. Thumbs up to her for not taking peoples crap, I didn't mind it during those times, but geez, some cases, enough was just enough. I even found myself wanting to slap her myself for acting like a ditsy blonde and getting Eric's arm hurt. I found her obsession with shoes over the top, maybe thats just because I'm not a shoes person, who knows. I did find it interesting form of character development.
I feel that the story was to jumbled up/rushed, she's only been a vampire 1 week and already killed a "boss" vampire. I feel that for a vampire as old as Eric is, he was really "careless" even though Tina boasted that he was careful, I mean wow, he had a spy working right there with him for years.
All in all, I will not be continuing this series. I looked ahead at the others, read some reviews and I haven't seen anything that has tempted me to continue to read this. I know that even by book 8 she's struggling to be queen, there is no real her and Eric time, and most of the reviews I read on that book where bad.
If you absolutely loved the stookie stackhouse books, by all means, continue this one. Otherwise, look at the other books I recommend, they are much, much better.1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Too sarcastic
The headline says it all. The writing style was waaay too sarcastic and just plain silly. I was very frustrated reading this book.

Undead and Hilarious??
Most of us wish we could have Betsy's humor, and her attitude. This VAMP is to die for along with this novel. Its funny, fast paced, and entertaining. I never thought I would enjoy a vampire novel, but for this I need to get the whole collection! This is the first book I have read of Mary Janice Davidson and I cannot wait to get my hands on the other ones! Two thumbs up!

Love this book!!
I really enjoyed reading this book and it was a laugh a minute. I am hooked on Mary Janice Davidson, I can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series. Also this book has prompted me to want to read other books by this author!

Great Read!
I loved Twilight, I loved the Sookie Stackhouse series and now I love this series! I've laughed out loud many times and the one-liners and the quirkiness of Betsy. This book is more "realistic" in a way just because of the way MaryJanice writes. I started to read the Laurel Hamelton vampire books but I just couldn't get caught up with the candance of her writting. This book is just fun to read!

This book was a very fun read. I recommend this book (series) to anyone who likes fun, romantic, fantasy reads. It has great characters and the plot was really different and fun to follow! A new vampire with a penchant for great shoes, what woman wouldn't love it?!
