Anyone else read the Queen Betsy series by
MaryJanice Davidson ?
After finishing up the Dark Hunter series, which are very dark and depressing at times I wanted something light and funny. Queen Betsy fit the bill.
Betsy is a ditsy, self absorbed , vain ex beauty queen/cheerleader with a addiction for designer shoes. One day she dies and wakes up to find out not only is she a vampire but she is prophesied to be the queen of all vampires. Along with that prophecy comes some special talents. She can go out in the daytime, she rarely needs blood, she can see and talk to dead, is hard to kill (she's been staked twice so far) and animals adore her. But all she wants is the newest Prada shoes..
To help her deal with this all is a great cast of secondary characters:
Eric Sinclair is destined to be her king. He is tall dark and handsome with a sharp tongue and a dry sense of humor. BTW whats with vampire hotties being named Eric lately?
Tina is Sinclair's second in command. She's petite, built like a playboy centerfold, is loyal to Sinclair, bisexual and has a sarcastic sense of humor.
Jessica is Betsy's childhood friend. Imagine Tara from the True Blood series but filthy rich as in loaning Bill Gates money rich.
Marc is a doctor Betsy saved from killing himself. He is gay with a sad habit of developing crushes on straight men.
Laura is Betsy's half sister. She is the daughter of the devil making her the Antichrist but don't hold that against her
She is a sweet natured and deeply devout girl.
The series is great light summer reading. Literature it isn't and reading Betsy's stupidity at times makes me want to strangle her but so do all the other characters!
