It is the first adventure of Elizabeth Anne "Betsy" Taylor in the Undead series after her transformation into a vampire. The book was released on March 2, 2004 through Berkley Books and was on the Maclean's bestseller list for April 4, 2004.[1] Plot summaryBetsy Taylor—former model, newly unemployed secretary, 30, and still single—wakes up after being flattened by a Pontiac Aztek in a tacky coffin wearing cheap knock-off shoes. Her mother is glad she is back, albeit as a vampire, but her stepmother is enraged that Betsy has reclaimed her designer-shoe collection. With a wealthy best friend and a newly acquired doctor pal who is not susceptible to her formidable allure, she sets out to right wrongs but is abducted by Nostro, a tacky 500-year-old vampire who rules the undead roost. It seems that Betsy is an anomaly: a vampire who doesn't burn in sunlight, can fight the urge to feed, and is not repulsed by religious articles, all of which may make her the prophesied Queen of the Vampires. Teaming up with gorgeous vampire Eric Sinclair, who is in her opinion a major pervert, she takes on Nostro and his minions.

ReceptionCritical reception has been mostly positive.[2] Kliatt gave the audiobook for Undead and Unwed a favorable review, writing that "Wu adds a bevy of emotions to Betsy's otherwise repetitive one-shoe note, making her both likable and amusing."[3] References1. ^{{Cite news|title=Maclean's list (SECTION: Books; Best Sellers)|date=Apr 4, 2004|work=|publisher=The Halifax Daily News (Nova Scotia) (subscription required)|via=}} {{MaryJanice Davidson}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Undead And Unwed}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.booklistonline.com/Undead-and-Unwed-Mary-Janice-Davidson/pid=666024|title=Undead and Unwed.
