| UNDERDEAD |
- Science teacher Jo Gartner thinks teaching geology to hormonal pre-teens is deadly... until she is
bitten by an inept vampire and becomes UNDERDEAD--all the problems of being a vampire, none
of the perks.
When she finds a body on her classroom floor with teeth marks in his neck, she must figure out
"whodunit" before her Underdead secret gets out. But she's running out of time. The detective in
charge of the case is dogging her every move, her vampire traits are evolving in new and
embarrassing ways, and someone wants Jo dead...the traditional way!
| "UNDERDEAD had me grinning from the first line! Off-beat, charming, irreverent and so much fun to read I couldn't put it down. Liz Jasper is going to go far as a writer and I for one am along for the ride!" ~~ Mary Buckham, Award-winning Romantic Suspense author |
What the Reviewers are saying about UNDERDEAD...
| "Light-hearted mystery with a touch of the paranormal and a hint of romance is a recipe for a just about perfect read. Having read tons of vampire novels since getting hooked on the genre, I thought I had seen pretty much every variety of the story, but this is something refreshing and new."~~ Huntress Reviews |
| "People of any age and from every walk of life will enjoy this intelligently written, humorous take of a normal girl’s entry into the paranormal. ~~ Grunion Gazette |
| "This is a funny and fast-paced read that will delight anyone who has ever enjoyed a cozy mystery, a comedy, a romance, or a vampire novel." ~~Bella Online Mystery Book Reviews |
| "Gloriously creative and funny!"~~Snortyville |
| “UNDERDEAD is certainly not your typical vampire story, it’s better…. I guarantee UNDERDEAD will have you laughing out loud, while keeping you in suspense right up until the end.” ~~ Two Lips Reviews |
| Ms. Jasper weaves suspense and romance wonderfully. UNDERDEAD is a paranormal tale that kept me on the edge of my seat anxious to find out more. I was thoroughly engaged from beginning to end. This is a great story to curl up with on a rainy day. ~~Coffeetime Romance |

| Underdead in Denial |
It's been a quiet summer for middle school science teacher Jo Gartner— not a pre-teen or a
vampire in sight. Just as she begins to believe the enigmatic vampire who turned her "almost
undead" was a bad dream, Will shows up on her doorstep, making Jo more determined than ever
to avoid all things vampire and maintain a normal life. And what's more normal than doing
community service to help a lovesick friend? But getting dressed up in a Halloween costume for
a haunted house fundraiser is not what Jo had in mind. Especially as the entire vampire
community seems to be drawn to the place.
When one of the haunted house extras turns up dead, Jo's hope for a quiet existence slips away
faster than an eighth grader can shoot a spitball through a cafeteria straw. A rash of
"accidents" makes it hard for Jo to know whom to trust, especially when her once reliable
detective turns standoffish and sexy vampire Will grows entirely too charming. She must
choose allies carefully as she races to unmask the killer… or the next death—undeath?—may be
her own!
