Commentary To Books Undead and Unworthy (Undead #7)
Betsy Taylor thought entering the world of the undead was a big adjustment. Being a new bride isn't much easier. The blush has only been on for two months, and Betsy has a lot to do: set up the new house, finish writing thank-you notes, and raise BabyJon, her half brother and legal ward. Just another happy American family adjusting to marital bliss.Betsy's husband, Sinclair, has been perusing the Book of the Dead, and Betsy's visited by a ghost who's even more insufferable, stubborn, and annoying in death than she was in life. She not only blames Betsy for her condition but insists she fix it. It's all just a prelude to the fun and games awaiting Betsy and Sinclair when a pack of formerly feral vampires, hungry for blood and power, pays a visit to the happy couple.

This one was all about the Fiends.Garret the reformed fiend feels sorry for the rest of them and starts feeding them his blood. They slowly become more rational but then conclude that Betsy is to blame for their plight. (view spoiler)[One of the fiends turns out to be Police Chief Hamblin's father and he gets his father to kill bad guys and sets a trap for Betsy by getting Nick involved. (hide spoiler)]The Ant appears and haunts Betsy, and Sinclair and Tina continue to have secrets from her;
::Spoilers::I usually enjoy the Betsy, Queen of the Vampires books, but this one completely derailed the series. The wrong couple died. Nick and Jessica are by far the most annoying people in the series and Davidson multiplied thier irritation factor by a hundred in this book. Jessica sounds like a spoiled, stubborn 5 yr old and Nick acts like a petulant teenager. These are supposed to be successful, wealthy people in their 30s and they sound like children. And Nick suddenly being the heir to a
As always MaryJanice Davidson is the funniest person alive, I was laughing out loud through the whole book.... well the whole series, except this one with a little more sad than her usual books but still fantastic!
Ho hum. That's how I felt about this book. MJD says the series is starting to move in a new direction, but I'm not sure this is a direction that actually works. Betsy is becoming more serious (although never completely) and two people actually died. It's just doesn't at all have the same feeling as the first book, which I really loved. I'll probably keep reading the series, but I won't be so eager to get my hands on each new book.
I hate pleasant surprises.*I'd prewritten much of this review (in my head, at least) before even cracking the book's spine. It was a well-planned metaphor about buying junk from the vending machine when you're not even hungry and eating it though it doesn't really taste good and leaves a greasy slime on your teeth.Seriously, though, I couldn't have told you why I keep picking up the Undead books. They've never been satisfying -- too much chick, not enough lit. And though I've been accused
I love the Queen Betsy books as well as MaryJanice Davidson's other books. I found that this one had to same humor in it. But I would really probably give it 3 1/2 stars. Better than average, but not as good as the others.It was the beginning of a new arc, as expressed by the new cover art. People have had significant problems with the new cover art and many actually said they wouldn't get it or would import the British version so they would not have this cover on their shelf. While I don't
