If you're looking for a fun read to finish before bedtime, UNDEAD AND UNEASY will do the trick. It only takes about two hours to read from first page to last, and you'll get in a few laughs along the way.

According to MaryJanice:

"Everything in the Undead universe has been leading to this book (say it with me: poor Betsy!). Yes, there has been a method to my madness. The support group she has so carefully, if unconsciously, been building around herself, that I've been building for her, is about to disappear."

A lot of unexpected events here and true to the author's promise, you'll feel uneasy too but you will enjoy it. I trusted her words and so should you. This is her most serious Undead novel and I have to admit I got anxious but like MJD said, tragedy and conflict are part of living, or in this case, undying. I appreciate what she did in this book, without the serious problems, it wouldn't be a colorful and roller coaster ride. It just developed the characters and their relationship with each othe

I liked this book WAY better than the last one. Things were kinda lame and boring in the last book. I rarely laughed at a single moment, so I didn't have high hopes for this book. I was just praying that things would pick back up and I was pleased that this book upped the standards.
There wasn't much Sinclair in it for obvious reasons (the dude's missing), so I was suffering from a bit of Sinclair/Betsy interaction withdrawal. I felt like this book was more about Betsy as a character More...

As preparations continued for the wedding of the Queen of Vampires and her King, Betsy Taylor founder she was not just having to deal with all the arrangements herself, but everything. Everyone had deserted her. Some of them had good reasons even if Betsy hated to admit it, but most of them just disappeared like they were hiding from the Bridezilla she felt she was quickly becoming. The only thing that kept bugging Betsy was that she really didn’t think that Eric Sinclair (her absent bridegro

Undead and Uneasy is the 6th book in MaryJanice Davidson's Betsy Taylor series. Betsy Taylor is the Queen of the Vampires. She really doesn't want to be a Queen. She didn't even want to be a vampire. She woke up one morning to find that she was dead and had been turned into a vampire. In the big Book of the Dead, it prophesied that she would be queen and her consort would be the delectably sexy, Eric Sinclair. Sure enough it comes true and now Betsy is planning her wedding to Eric. Betsy is abou

I started this book at 10pm and stayed up reading it till 3am the next moringing. I did not and could not put it down. As all Queen Betsy books are, it was hilarious & witty. The author gives a little note at the beginning about this book being the one to wrap up all the previous books hangers like the zombie in the attic from Undead and Unpopular. She also talks about characters dying and I admit I gritted my teeth with fear for the charaters I hold dear. I can't help it, I've had too many auth

Dieser Band hat mich mit Nr 5 wieder versöhnt. Teilweise war Band 5 einfach ein Vorspiel zu Band 6 und wenn man ein Buch daraus gemacht hätte und es nicht in zwei Bände gesplittet hätte, wäre ich absolut zufrieden gewesen.
Betsy lernt mal wieder was über ihre Kräfte, es gibt eine durchgehende Storyline und das Beste: 3/4 des Buches KEIN SINCLAIR.

The best Betsy book I've read so far, this one wraps up the first several books into a nice little conclusion, so not sure where things are going from here. A quick read as always, maybe 3 or 4 hours total. Funny, lighthearted, and amusing as always. I still don't know why she's marrying Sinclair, all they do is fight, and all she does is moan what a jerk he is. Betsy's still a spoiled, flighty, somewhat dumb dingbat, but that's what makes her fun to read. Were she a real person I had to de

I almost didn’t read this book. The “Letter to My Readers” Davidson writes is vastly exaggerated. I was expecting major, beloved characters to die. No way did I want to read about what would happen if Jessica lost her battle, or one of the vamps got staked. I was proud of Betsy for stepping up to the plate and kicking ass all by herself. Luckily, I was familiar with the short story that provides the underlying concept for this plot. Otherwise I don’t think I would have been quite as “into” the v

Slow to start but funny and entertaining - it's hard to explain. I love the Betsy series - they make me laugh right out loud - but they feel thin on plot and a little rough. That being said - this one was mildly entertaining. I guess these books kinda start out with a real slow burn plot wise then they spark up and burn real bright then fizzle right out. They always feel like the author gets so excited to tie up loose ends that she just buttons everything right up and ties it with a neat lit

The wedding is just a few weeks away and Betsy does not have her dress, Eric Sinclair (hunky vampire groom) is not helping, and then there is the furneral.
Betsy finds herself alone after having a house full of supportive people (undead and alive) to help her and take care of all the problems.
Suddenly she is forced to figure out what is happening and what to do about it, on her own! I love how Betsy was able to "step up to the plate" stop being whiny and take charge! A More...

Undead and Uneasy, the 6th installment of the Undead series, finds Betsy in a lonely situation. Her wedding to Sinclair is only weeks away, but the groom mysteriously disappeared after they had a fight. On top of that, everyone else in Betsy’s life is either away or preoccupied with other things. The only company Betsy has is BabyJon and a group of werewolves that unexpectedly show up at the mansion for rather strange and alarming reasons.

A friend passed along this vampire book (because evidently I love all things vampire? not!) but it's the 6th in the series. The author claims that you can jump into book 6 and still follow what's going on. Well here's the thing--it starts out witty and actually very funny, but there's way too much bad language so that doesn't synche with me. So after getting to around page 30 and instead of starting mid-series and/or getting into it at all, I think I'm just gonna pass it up. Bella and Sookie

Undead and Uneasy, the sixth installment in Davidson's Queen Betsy series takes place a few weeks before Betsy and Sinclair's wedding ceremony. As usual Eric Sinclair is not interested in wedding preparations, something he is going along with to please Betsy. After all, they are consorts and already married according to the Book of the Dead (a vampire guidebook of sorts), but Eric is participating in this human ritual so that she will feel that she is really married (Sinclair tricked Betsy into

I'm hard pressed to give this two stars. I gave it two only because I am so fond of the other books in the series. I don't know what happened with this one, but it was simply awful.
Betsy is normally a fun character. On the surface, she is always self-centered, childish, and a bit ditzy. What redeems her -- normally -- is her concern for others, her sense of humor, and the fact that she is actually no dummy. In this installment of the Undead series, Betsy spends close to two-th More...

This is the sixth book in the Besty Taylor "Undead" paranormal romance series (and I can't believe the second one I've read this summer. For a quick sum-up, check my past entries for Unead & Unpopular).
Betsy & Sinclair are getting married, despite the fact that they have been vampirically married for almost two years. Just days before running down to the Justice of the Peace to make it official in Betsy's eyes, her father & stepmother die in a car accident. This instantly mak More...

In this book, Betsy's wedding to Sinclair is just around the corner when he disappears, her father and stepmother are killed in a car accident, she becomes her half-brother's guardian, her personal assistant is stuck in France, the werewolf and the Fiend who live in the basement have disappeared, her best friend is in the hospital with a cancer relapse, the other roommate drops off the face of the earth and isn't returning any calls or emails, her mother is not around, her half-sister (who is li

I have been wanting to read this book since I read the others in the series. I really like Davidson's story because it is fun and easy. It isn't a serious series in the least. Betsy's life is full of adventure and some serious issues but she never looks at things seriously and I love that people underestimate her because she isn't the smartest person. Still she always manages and I'm loving that she does things her way instead of the norm.
I really enjoy these books and I'm already onto

In the days leading up to 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 fiancŽ, 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.

I got this at a booksale for a JDRF fundraiser, so I gave it one star for its charitible contribution. Maybe if I'd read the books prior to this one, I might have had a better sense of the characters. Even if I had, I'm not sure I would have liked it any better. I paged through this in an evening (luckily it is fairly short), hoping it would get interesting. It didn't. As the annoying main character, whose name I've already forgotten, is so fond of saying...Yawn.

Finally!! Betsy is more like the Queen of the Vamps in installment #6, than in any of the preceding books in the Undead series. While I instantly knew how things would unfold after she had her altercation with Nick, coupled with the cryptic prologue, it was no less satisfying reading this one to the end.
So the hope is that Betsy comes into her own...though I'm sure it'll be done in the clumsy ditsy fashion that is becoming of Queen Betsy!

This novel starts with a bang on the revelation that Betsy's dad and stepmonster have been killed in a car crash, leaving Betsy to mother BabyJon. Strange things start happening to her, and everyone around her starts to disappear. Betsy must prove her queen status by figuring this one out on her own, and she comes into some new powers along the way. Betsy proves herself again to be quite capable of taking care of things herself.

OK, I'll admit it - Queen Betsy is my guilty pleasure, and I don't even have her shoe fetish!
This story has more angst than previous books, in good part because of the author's intro letter. After reading that, I was a bit apprehensive, wondering which of the main characters was going to be killed, so I reached the final pages with a combination of feeling displeasure/pleasure at what happened to whom.
Loved the werewolf pack! I'll bet we see more of them - at least we'd

Between the humor, the setting and the characters, the Undead series is a winner for me. A light, enjoyable read. Although there are times I want to slap Betsy, the Vampire Queen, I can't help but cringe and laugh as she stumbles along through her life. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series as this type of book is one I can relax, read, and simply enjoy.
