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 cant keep a good shoe obsession down. In fact, death hasnt changed Betsy much, and the vampire community has taken unhappy notice. Nancy Wu captures Betsys internal conflicts perfectly; she infuses Betsys dialog with emotions only implied by the words, making Betsy richer, fuller, and funnier. Though Wu cant quite capture the vampire Sinclairs sexiness, she does his arrogance proud. This introduction to Betsy and her undeath will garner countless new fansand deservedly so.Jodi L.
