Undead and Unfinished

Narrator Nancy Wu returns listeners to the world of Betsy, vampire queen and shoe connoisseur. In the latest installment, Betsy and Laura travel back in time to uncover the connection between Betsy and her vampire husband, Sinclair. Wu is the quintessential Betsy as she delivers nonstop witty sarcasm. Wu's perky, self-righteous characterization enlivens Betsy's internal ramblings on society, shopping, and mean people. Even Betsy's dramatic groans and sighs speak volumes, thanks to Wu's hilarious renditions. Breathing noises and a background echo keep this selection from being pure delight. But Betsy's devotees will want to hear her latest shenanigans as well as the startling cliffhanger. For snarky paranormals with heaps of girl power, Wu and Betsy have few rivals. C.A.
