 2008-10-09 - HATE THE NEW COVER ART!
I love Queen Betsy, but I haven't even purchased this in hardcover because the cover is so dreadful. It looks like Babysitters Club gone Goth. What were they thinking. I have bought all the hardcovers up to now. Also, it doesn't match the rest of the series. That may be weird, but I'm a librarian and I want my sets to match! Pleeeaaase go back to the old art!
 2008-10-06 - Not my favorite in this series
I have enjoyed the Queen Betsy series but have mixed feelings about this book.
To start with, I really hate the new cover art. If the first books in the series had this art, I don't think I would have picked them up. I don't care for the more serious vampire novels -- I only read the light and humorous ones.
I'm somewhat troubled by the author's note that the new cover art signals a new direction the series is going. This cover is darker and this book was darker and not as funny as the previous books. I hope the author remembers that many of her readers want a good dose of humor along with their vampires and doesn't make the books too dark.
 2008-09-27 - Laugh out loud as always
I Love the Undead series by Mary Janice Davidson. She is one of my top favorite authors I will turn to for a good laugh and entertaining story.
If you haven't read the earlier books in the series, I suggest you do. The first book in the series is, "Undead and Unwed".
In this book, Betsy is now married and dealing with a slew of paranormal issues including: Haunted by her step-monster, fiends with a vendetta and hate from her best friend's boyfriend. As always, Betsy trips her way through the problems in fabulous shoes.
The Undead series (in case you can't tell by the title) is paranormal, comical romance. I would recommend this to anyone who likes that genre of books or even someone I think might like it. Very addictive. 8)
2008-09-24 - Embracing Her Inner Royalty
What a great read! MJD always deliver spectacular fun at a roller coaster pace. It is so enjoyable to be able to grab one of her books and dive in for a little fantasy.
The new Betsy is spectacular! As she continues to evolve and discover her ability to truly embrace her queenly duties, she becomes even more likable. You have to love a strong female character who knows what she wants and how to get things done.
And the other characters in this book are fantastic. the devil's daughter? how creative can you get? I love that MJD continues to weave her into the saga.
While I was a bit sad at the loss of a character in the this book, it was probably time to add a new emotion. It gave the traditional light reading a bit more depth. For supernatural, fictional characters these players represent many real life feelings. I am not calling it Vampirical Shakespeare or anything, but if you read between the lines, it is much more than sexy sarcasm. I look forward to the next installment.

2008-08-28 - Amazing
This was a quick read like her other books but I did not like the ending but after reading Dead And Loving It(A Fiend in Need) made everything come together in the end. Also the first killing of the fiends really made me sad because it was my favorite character. This book has quite a bit of blood and not a lot of laughs. Personally the cover sucks-if it was in a bookstore I would have just walked past it and picked up another book.
