DAVIDSON--VAMPIRE QUEEN

HER OTHER SERIES ARE PRETTY LIGHT WEIGHT, BUT THE VAMPIRE QUEEN SERIES IS SERIOUSLY, LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY,

Betsy grows up

Ms. Davidson has done it again. Betsy gets just what she wants, and then has to learn how to deal with it. Betsy actually grows up while dealing with the issues in this episode. Without giving away anything to do with the outcome of the story, I think it is safe to say that you should always be careful what you wish for. All in all a worthy edition to the series.

Betsy's back and better than ever.

MaryJanice Davidson, Undead and Uneasy (Berkley, 2007)

So, finally, can we get on with this wedding thing? Of course not. Queen Betsy and the gang are back in Undead and Uneasy, the sixth book in MJD's Queen Betsy series. After the events of the last book, there should be clear sailing, yes? Sinclair has come around to the idea of the ceremony (as much as he can, anyway). Except that, well, he's a groom, cold feet and all. (I will resist the urge to add a parenthetical Betsy-esque pun about dead man always having cold feet here. Oops. Sorry.) Tina is off in France, guaging the European vampire society's reaction to the events in book five. Marc and Jessica are, of course, at the hospital. Garrett and Antonia are off... somewhere. And here we have the crux of the book-- Antonia's pack want an audience with her, and Betsy has no idea where she is. So, actually, Queen Betsy is back-- but where's the gang?

Publishers' Weekly called the narrative "too cute," and to an extent I can understand what they're on about. But then, comparing a chick lit series to a horror series, as they do, seems kind of silly; it's a lot better when you think of it more as Jennifer Weiner, but with fangs. Yeah, they're cute, but they're readable and funny, if a bit gratuitous at times (Betsy has developed quite a mouth over the past few books, and it's getting to the point where it's on the verge between amusing and annoying). I'm still enjoying this series immensely. *** ½

Undead and Uneasy

Betsy Taylor, the Queen of the vampires, is getting married to her wonderful Eric Sinclair. But all is not coming up roses.

There's the issue of the dress, since white doesn't exactly suit a vampire's coloring, her best friend is battling cancer and Sinclair is less than thrilled about helping with the wedding plans.

And then, things go really bad. Betsy's father and stepmother are killed in an accident, Sinclair disappears, as do several of her friends, and Betsy is left to plan the wedding by herself, and wonder where everyone is. Add in some visiting werewolves who are looking for a missing pack member and you've got a wedding that is to die for.

Despite the turmoil in the book, Undead and Uneasy was an interesting and entertaining read. I've always liked Betsy and the way she deals with things. This volume of the series allows her to grow and shows that, while she's a relatively young vampire, she's the queen, and not to be messed with.

Lovers of the Undead series will enjoy this latest installment as much as I did. Seeing Betsy come to grips with things was enlightening and entertaining. My only complaint would be that the yummy Sinclair wasn't around enough. Undead and Uneasy is a great addition to the Betsy series.

Strange edition in the series

This book, seems to wrap up many of the loose ends and bring in the Wyndham wolves. The problem is that this book just doesn't seem like it really wraps up many of the issues. Why does Betsy survive so much damage? What's with the librarian? Interesting, but I think I'll stick with paperback in the future.
