What a total let down! I originally thought maybe my lack of intrest for the 9th Undead book was due to the narrator (listened to this in MP3 format)but it was due to both the narrator and the story. I get why the story went the way it did, and the ending still sucked for me anyway, but it just seemed very sporadic up until there was an actual goal to the story. I loved all the Undead books, and yes, Betsy being a total flake gets old, but this one just sucked. Maybe I will try and read the book More...

Okay I am thoroughly confused. Queen Betsy had begun to grate my nerves in the last book, and she had screwed up so many things, I was left aching for a HEA. And we had now included vampires, werewolves, ghosts, the devil, and zombies oh my. So we had hit our supernatural fill right?

Of course not. Well now the Antichrist and Queen of the Vampires are taking a field trip to hell....of course. And how can we possibly add to this paranormal clusterfuck? Well Laura should grow wing More...

Unfinished is quite slow to start and stays such until about 2/3 of the way through. However, having experienced this in a couple of other past Betsy books, I stuck with it. Then, it gets good. Then, it gets great! I have never been able to quite bond with the arrogant, assanine, yet protective and loving Sink Lair. However, experiencing his past in this chapter of the Undead novels sealed the bond I was so hoping to acquire. Then...the epilogue. WHAT THE HELL?! The very last page was beyond des More...

I was extremely excited to dig into the next chapter of the Queen Betsy series.

I was on Amazon.com and noticed there were A LOT of negative reviews. Normally before I read a new book I've check it out on Amazon and read a couple of good reviews (none with spoilers though) and a couple of negative. I'm not sure why I do this. Maybe just to get any idea of what to expect.

I will say that overall I really do like the Queen Betsy series. This book, I did not like. I think a lot More...

Let me make this comparison; You know how your mom made that one meal all the time from your childhood and you swore when you grew up you would never make it? For me it's tuna casserole. It's disgusting and you really don't like it but everyonce in awhile you find yourself craving this unfulfilling ick. You know you won't like it, you know you won't feel good after you're done, but for whatever reason at that time you need to have it. That's how this series is for me. This is the tuna casser More...

Undead and Unfinished is the ninth book in the Queen Betsy vampire series by MaryJanice Davidson.

Just days after Elizabeth "Betsy" Taylor has returned home from meeting with the Wyndham werewolf clan, Betsy begins to feel guilty about her lack of knowledge on the history of her husband Eric Sinclair and assistant Tina. Considering all the dramatic events that have unfolded since Betsy became a vampire, not to mention becoming the "Queen" of all vampires, she realize More...

Undead and Unfinished is the ninth instalment in the Queen Betsy series by MaryJanice Davidson. Hillarious, enlightening and confusing are some of the emotions I was feeling whilst reading this book.

Queen Betsy definitely takes us for a ride in this book. We are given more of an insight into the world of Betsy and Sinclair just when everything seems to be bleak between the two of them. I was seriously worried about our lead couple.

As we flit through the times with Betsy More...

I'm really not sure why I continue reading this...drivel. (See, I avoided saying "cr@p"--oh, I guess I didn't.) This series WAS fun. I wasn't reading it to gain back lost brain cells or anything. The flighty, breezy style suited the description of the main character. If you choose to read these, stop with book 6. Just pretend there were no sequels. My guess is that MaryJanice Davidson actually didn't write the subsequent three books since that author didn't even have the facts straight More...

This latest book in the Betsy, Queen of the Vampires series, is the second book to come out of that household that I wanted to put down, but by the end, was glad I hadn't. The other book was Seraph of Sorrow co-written by MJD and her husband, Anthony Alongi.

Betsy's half-sister, Laura, is the Antichrist, but purposely grew up to be a very nice person with occasional temper issues. Having been adopted into a minister's family helped. But when she begins experiencing pain and constant dre More...

First of all, I just wanted to say that I love this series... and then I read this book. I always enjoyed the humor that had me cracking up reading this series. There is too much rambling on about stuff that I don't really need (or care!) to know about!
Betsy and Laura go to hell and end up traveling through time. (And I lose out on some much needed Sinclair fixes. And where are all the other characters?! I miss them!) Some things get changed, but I gather that that's what the devil want More...

Betsy as usual has gotten herself in way over her head. Betsy’s sister Laura, daughter of the devil literally, hasn't been feeling well and has been having nightmares. But when she wakes up naked in a sculpture is when she and Betsy believe that a heart to heart with mommy dearest is in order.
Satan tells them that Laura needs to embrace her side of her heritage and that her realm is calling out to her and if she doesn't come visit and learn about her powers she will continue to get more sic More...

I have truly enjoyed the new direction of the undead series. I liked the cute romance series in the beginning, but about the time that there was the book where she went insane reading the book of the dead i almost stopped reading the series. While this was much less romance it still dealt with the characters I like. The only problem is that Betsy was seriously annoying in this novel. I mean in 3 years she hasnt grown at all, and even with friends dying around her she has somehow regressed to More...

I have always loved these books. They were one of my first vampire romance series that I really enjoyed, and I gave this rating one extra star for one positive reason. Besides that, it was awful.

The positive: She finally got her MOA (Mall of America) references right. It used to drive me up the wall when she would sit there and describe Nordstroms, and yet call it Macy's!! Granted, I worked at the Mall of America for over a year, and it was my mall growing up so I'm bias. Let me s More...

Okay, first of all, this was probably the longest book in the series. Only 296 pages, but the font was smaller and it wasn't double-spaced like the others practically were. And a lot more happened! I thought the reasons for Betsy and Laura to travel to hell in the first place were dumb, but WOW!! The discovery! I feel like I know so much more about the characters and what's going on (and what WENT on)! Overall, my favorite in the series (although truth be told, I don't really remember the More...

I guess I am one of the few who actually liked the book. Do I like the timeline being messed with, not necessarily, but I realize the storyline will get boring unless the author shakes things up. It is also nice to be surprised/stunned by an author every once in a while which is what happened when I read the last sentence of this book. I didn't see that ending coming. Hopefully Betsy will be able to straighten up the timeline so that some things don't happen but I don't see how the last sente More...

This was not fun or even a great addition to the series. From what I understand, the next book is about her waking up in the past, in her old body, right when she dies. I really hope that means none of this every happens. So here it is, with a bunch of spoilers. Like, a bunch. So be forewarned.

Ok, what the freaking heck??? This is all about the really unlikable Betsy traveling down to hell for a vacation with her sister, the antichrist. Just, you know, because. Then they travel around More...

This book has reminded me why I enjoyed the series to start with. It's light and funny and silly and complete candyfloss for the brain. In the first one the main "sidekick" was Jessica, in Undead and Unfinished we've got Betsy traipsing through time with half-sister (& anti-Christ) Laura.

If you've been a faithful follower of the series you may find this a little repetitive, even as someone who has missed the last few, I'm not quite sure what this book added to the series. It More...

Honestly, I don't even know how to rate this one. I just finished it and for the first 30 minutes after I was done I just whined and moaned to my husband about how stupid the ending was and how mad and upset I was about the direction this series had taken. I was saying things like, "This is supposed to be Chick-lit and romance!" and recalling fonldy, when I actually found MJD's writing to be erotic. :) Ahhh, those were the days. Since when did this series become so serious and such a d More...

Undead and Unfinished by Mary Janice Davidson
*This book was borrowed from the public library*

The trials and tribulations of Queen Betsy continue in Undead and Unfinished as she and her half sister Laura (the antichrist) take a trip to Hell to visit Laura’s mother.

Betsy is having trouble dealing with things, including Antonia & Garrett’s deaths. She and Sinclair are fighting and Thanksgiving is around the corner, she is not having a good month. She agrees to accomp More...

I recall reading, in the preface to one of MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy novels (one or two back, I can't remember), that she was taking the series in a new, darker direction. You can certainly see that in Undead and Unfinished.

One of the most striking things about this novel is the absence of the usual cast of characters. Sinclair, Tina, Mark, Jessica . . . they just aren't there, for the most part. If you're looking for comfort and familiarity of a series cast, you won't find i More...

Undead & Unfinished is the 9th novel in the Queen Betsy series & I can honestly say I wish I had skipped straight to the last few chapters. If there was ever a character I wanted to stake, after reading Undead & Unfinished without a doubt I would have staked Betsy.

Betsy wants to read the Book of the Dead, but it kinda makes any vampire who reads it insane. So when her half-sister Laura wants to go visit her mother (Satan) in Hell (Laura is the Antichrist) Betsy tags along & makes a b More...

After a marathon read yesterday, I think I'm ready to give this book it's review.

I have to say I struggled through Undead and Unwelcome. The characters were really out of sorts to me, and the book just really struggled to keep my attention.

NOT so with this one. Betsy is Betsy. She is always going to be self-centered & self-absorbed, but it's nice to see that she's starting to get out of her -all about me- bubble and start noticing important things about the people tha More...

If I could give it less than one star, I would, but I'm suddenly feeling generous. The same thing is happening here that is happening with two other vampire series that I have followed much longer than I should have. While I've found Betsy to be a hilarious protagonist in the past, in the last two books she has simply become increasingly annoying. It almost seems that someone is parodying Davidson's books and that she's no longer writing them herself. I hardly laughed here, just turned pages, go More...

It seems as though the same thing that happened to Janet Evanovich's Plum series around book #9 is happening here as well. This book was a huge disappointment. This is one of the first times that I found Betsy to be very annoying. She's usually clever, witty and funny but this time she was just a real pain in the ass biatch. I actually kind of smiled every time Laura punched her. Although, come to think of it, maybe we were supposed to start not liking her, given the way the story ended. More...
