What makes it funny?
In the opening chapter, Betsy blames the snooze button for her lateness and finds a doctor’s off-key humming especially irritating while he treats her bite wounds. One reader in Book Recommendations singles out her shoe obsession as a reason they find the series funny.
The comedy at work
Vampire royalty gets little respect from a woman who judges people by their taste in shoes. All About Romance highlights Betsy’s habit of saying her disrespectful thoughts aloud, even to a vampire leader who expects obedience.
Try this if…
Betsy’s outspoken first-person narration suits readers who enjoy sexual humor and vampires whose dignity is open to ridicule.
Good to know
Expect strong language and sexual material. The opening chapter describes the fatal car accident with graphic physical detail.
