Book Review: Undead and Unworthy by MaryJanice Davidson

Sometime in the past 2 weeks I finished reading Undead and Unworthy, the seventh book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. This book was a bit different from the last few books. It seems that Betsy is kicking a little more ass and she is changing along with it. Davidson has also killed off some characters, which to me was a disappointment, but I guess better things are yet to come. So until I find out more about where this series is going, I would say this is a good book and you should check it out.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:
Having recently lost her dad and step-mother, Betsy Sinclair (nee Taylor) is adjusting to rather more than just married life. Their untimely deaths have left her and Sinclair as sole guardians of her little brother, Jon. Two vampire parents - albeit vampire royalty - for a decidedly human baby. But then the ghost of Betsy's step-mother turns up at their house. And as stubborn and insufferable as she was in life, she's even more annoying in death...

Not sure what her next book is, but I will have to wait patiently until it comes out.

Book Review: Undead and Uneasy by MaryJanice Davidson

Last week I finished reading Undead and Uneasy, the sixth book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. Very cool things happened in this book. Betsy totally kicked ass and I think this book was excellent and creative. I think all the other books were leading to a very cool, fresh and imaginative book, such as this one. If you've been following the series, then you will not be disappointed with this one. Definitely pick this one up.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:
In the days leading up the The Big Day, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor seems to have a full house - and the wedding guests have yet to arrive. Along with her human buddies, there's a ghost, a werewolf, and a Fiend crashing at her place. And though her fiancé, Vampire King Eric Sinclair, conveniently disappears when the conversation turns to seating charts and flower arrangements, he does manage to make his oh-so-sexy presence known at other moments. Betsy knows the next few weeks won't be smooth sailing - but she never expects just what's in store for her. Cold feet are no surprise, especially with an undead groom. But when Sinclair truly goes missing - and not just to avoid wedding preparations - along with most of her friends and loved ones, Betsy is frantic. Alone and afraid for the fate of everyone she loves, Betsy can't trust anyone as she tries to find them and whoever is behind all the disappearances.(http://www.lovevampires.com/mjduneasy.html)

Next in the series is Undead and Unworthy, and it will be coming out very soon.

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.

Book Review: Dead and Loving It by MaryJanice Davidson

This week I finished reading Dead and Loving It by MaryJanice Davidson. It had some really great short stories and I really enjoyed them. There were some very provacotive parts to them, but nothing extremely raunchy. I think whoever reads this book will really love it. One thing I really like is that the chapters were short, which made it easier for making me want to keep reading. I was sad that I had actually finished it. Oh well, I have my other series waiting on me.

Following is the books synopsis:

USA Today bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson has enchanted readers everywhere with her delicious blend of wicked humor, sizzling sex, and totally unique vision of vampires and werewolves. In this collection of four novellas she brings her beloved Wyndham werewolves (featured in her acclaimed novel Derek's Bane) together with the vampires ruled by Betsy Taylor (from her bestselling Undead series). Filled with equal parts of spicy heat and laugh-out-loud moments, this collection will drive Davidson's legion of fans wild with blood-pounding delight. (Barnes and Noble Website)

As I said in the last book review, I don't like to read one book knowing that there was another book I needed to read, and I'm really glad it happened that way. Anyway, I hope you guys will pick this one up.

Book Review: Undead and Unreturnable by MaryJanice Davidson!

Earlier this week, I finished reading Undead and Unreturnable the fourth book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. This book dragged a little bit. Not that I didn't enjoy the spunk from Davidson's writing, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as the last one. She did introduce a new character, which I think will bring a comedy relief to her upcoming books. Overall, it was a good book and it was a good addition to her series.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:
Though she's the vampire queen, Betsy Taylor is much more like a princess. In MaryJanice Davidson's novels, this high-maintenance monarch is finally coming to terms with her new status. They say Christmas is a time for friends and family. But with a half-sister who's the devil's daughter, an evil stepmother, a fiend living in her basement, assorted spirits and killers running amok, and a spring wedding to plan with the former bane of her existence, Eric Sinclair, Betsy is not sure she'll survive the holidays. Oh, right. She's already dead... (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Undead-and-Unreturnable/MaryJanice-Davidson/e/9780425210819)

Next in the series is Undead and Unpopular, and as I started reading it I noticed that they were referencing another book. Apparently, Davidson has anthologies written for this series, so I quickly ordered the two books and will be receiving them today. Just in time for the long weekend; therefore, the next review will be for Dead and Loving It.

Quick Note: There are two different cover arts for this book, but they are both the same.

Book Review: Undead and Unappreciated by MaryJanice Davidson!

This week I finished reading Undead and Unappreciated the third book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. I actually really loved this one. There was something highly entertaining and charming about this one that the last one didn't have. I felt that I didn't want put it down, so I finished it very quickly. I think Davidson was very creative in her writing with some new twists for her series.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:
Most women would love to live as royalty, but Betsy has found that being vampire queen has more problems than perks, except for always being awake for Midnight Madness sales. It may be easy to find blood (yuck) in the dark of night, but try finding a strawberry smoothie. And employees at her nightclub Scratch have been giving her nothing but grief since she killed their former boss. Some people...
But Betsy's "life" takes an interesting turn at a baby shower for her wicked stepmother, who lets it slip that Betsy has a long-last half sister. Now twenty years old, this woman just so happens to be the devil's daughter...and destined to rule the world.(http://berkleysignetmysteries.com/book1215)

Next in the series is Undead and Unreturnable, and I am almost finished reading it.

Book Review: Undead and Unemployed by MaryJanice Davidson!

On Saturday, I finished reading Undead and Unemployed the second book from the Queen Betsy Series written by MaryJanice Davidson. Like her last book, I really enjoyed reading the originality for each of her characters. For those of you who don't have a lot of time and want to read a short, fun book, then this is definitely for you. Though, I'm not sure if it was short because I was reading it all the time, or if it is just a short book, but I found it to be enjoyable.

Please read the following synopsis for the book:

Its a few months since Betsy Taylor was made Queen of the Vampires and although she might be Queen there is no money to go with the title. Her house has termites and it has been condemned and she’s been unemployed ever since the day she died. (Death would not have stopped Betsy from returning to work but she was unfortunately laid off from work the day she died.)
A trip to the Unemployment centre is unavoidable but even her vampire mojo can’t make the bureaucrats in the centre give her any practical help with finding a job. Window shopping in the shoe department of Macy’s on the way home to cheer herself up, Betsy impresses the manager with her knowledge of fine footwear and is offered a job selling shoes.
Her new job is just one of her many responsibilities. Someone is killing vampires in Minneapolis and Sinclair and Tina are determined to make Betsy do something about it. When Betsy herself becomes a target for the vampire slayers she treats the problem slightly more seriously. Well, as seriously as she can when one of the teenage vampire killers immediately develops a crush on her!
Will she manage to hold down her job at Macy’s and find out who is behind the vampire killings or will she end up being fired and killed all on the same day – again?(http://www.lovevampires.com/mjdundead.htm)

Next in the series is Undead and Unappreciated, and of course I have started to read it. So far I and really enjoying it.

Book Review: Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson!

Recently, I finished reading Undead and Unwed the first book in the Queen Betsy Series by MaryJanice Davidson. I really enjoy series books and I was glad that this first book did not let me down. Of course, I've already started to read another series that Davidson has written, so I knew I would enjoy this one. If you like funny modern vampire stories, then you should definitely pick this one up. I came across it on Amazon.com, and since they have the 4-for-3 special I decided to take advantage of it. So far she has written seven books for this series, so I have much catching up to do.

Following is the synopsis for the book:

Betsy Taylor is having a bad week. First of all she is made redundant from her secretarial job, and then she is run over and killed in a car accident. For most people this would at least be the end of the bad week but not for Betsey. She rises from the dead as a vampire and despite several attempts to make herself dead again she just can’t stay dead.
To make matters worse her new vampire friends seem to think she is their prophesied vampire queen and they want her to help them destroy the mad vampire master Nostrodamus who currently controls all the vampires in the city. Although Nostrodamus is unpleasant, insane and a cliché of every bad vampire movie Betsy has ever seen, she has other important things to do. Like shopping for some new clothes as day wear is no longer appropriate attire for her.
On the plus side she has met the devastatingly attractive vampire Sinclair, possibly the most scrumptious man she has ever met dead or alive…. (http://www.lovevampires.com/mjdundead.htm)

Davidson did a great job on this first book and I have already started to read the second from her series, Undead and Unemployed. I'll let you know more about it when I finish it. If you want a list of her books, go here http://www.amazon.com/gp/series/92826/ref=pd_serl_books?ie=UTF8&edition=paperback.
