Book Review: Undead and Unpopular by MaryJanice Davidson


Last weekend I finished reading Undead and Unpopular, the fifth book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. This book was easy reading and was extremely entertaining. It wasn't as complicated as most of Davidson's other Undead books from the series. Although, I thought she would finally have Betsy and Sinclair married in this book, Davidson dragged it again into the next one, but it's a good thing I bought the whole series at the time I did. I don't think I could have waited until the next book was written, so it's great that I didn't find out about the series until later on when finally she does get them married. So, overall, I think this is a good addition. It still has the quirkiness that Davidson does such a good job at. I say, pick this one up, especially if you've already started reading the series.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:

Betsy Taylor, Vampire Queen, already has plenty on her plate. For one thing, next week is her birthday-the big 3-1 in human years, and one in undead years. (Yes, she bit the dust on her birthday last year.) On top of that, she still has wedding plans to finalize-and it's not helping that the prospective groom is avoiding anything to do with it. And then there's her decision to stop drinking blood-something she has yet to share with Eric Sinclair, her fiancé-who also happens to be the vampire king... So the last thing she wants to deal with is uninvited guests, even if they happen to be the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects the week before her birthday. Some of them don't want Betsy as their Queen, and will do anything to get rid of her. As if turning thirty last year (not to mention dying) hadn't been traumatic enough. And trying to give up blood is making her really cranky...But who has time to sulk? Well, Betsy does...in the latest novel in the New York Times bestselling series Christine Feehan calls "delightful, wicked fun."(http://www.lovereading.co.uk/book/2025/Undead-and-Unpopular-by-Mary-Janice-Davidson.html)

Next in the series is Undead and Uneasy, and I have already started reading it. Let me tell you that I am not disappointed so far. We'll see as it progresses.
