Legally Undead
(Vampirarchy #1) by Margo Bond Collins
A reluctant vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can.
Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she’ll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.

But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire sucking the blood from her fiancé, Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs—not away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.
As she slams the improvised stake into the vampire’s heart, a team of black-clad men bursts into the apartment. Turning to face them, Elle realizes Greg’s body is gone—and her perfect life falls apart.

Legally
Undead Playlist – by Margo Bond Collins
One of the things that I love best about writing
about vampires (other than their sheer creepiness!) is all the fabulous mood
music that’s available—some of it directly about vampires, and some of it
simply nicely sinister. Also, although Legally Undead is set in New York City,
the heroine, Elle (a graduate student turned reluctant vampire hunter), is
originally from New Orleans. That’s in part a nod to Anne Rice, of course (and
to my own college years spent in the French Quarter), but it has the added
benefit of allowing me to include some great New Orleans vampire songs in
Elle’s playlist. Sadly, there aren’t as many New York vampire songs—but Elle’s
snarky sense of humor shows up in the ones included here, and in the choice of
songs like “My Boyfriend’s Back.” Enjoy
the Legally Undead playlist, and be
sure to check out the excerpt below!
