Much better than the first two. There's something about this series that makes me wanna keep reading it. It's really weird, LOL. Normally if a series isn't a 5 or 4 rating for me I stop reading it. But this series just has something appealing.

I have a weird relationship with Betsy, kinda love-hate. Sometimes I think she is the funniest and wittiest heroine I've ever read, but then there are other moments in the books where I just wish somebody would smack something really hard in her head. But now, at least, she has accepted her relationship with Eric, which makes me wanna like her a bit more, LOL. But I do enjoy reading about her, and her sense of humor is exhilarating.

Eric is a sweet and lovely hero. Although I liked him much more in book 1 where he was strong, powerful and mysterious. Now, he just seems kinda sissy, LOL, not my type oh hero, but I still like him, he's very loyal and caring.

I love Jess too, she's a really charismatic character.Although I think that Marc isn't a good one at all. He doesn't do anything, he's just always there. The new character, The devil's spawn, or Betsy's sister, is an amazing incorporation to the series. I think it was what the plot needed to become more interesting.

I don't know why, still, but I really like this series. Not as much as I did the Argeneau or the love at stake series, which are really similar in topic and genre, but much better. Still, it is a great series and I will read it all.

I guess it depends on the system you use to rate, in my case I rate depending on which shelf the books are. So my ratings can be compared only between books in the same shelf. Maybe that's why I can't give more than 3 stars to this series. There are so many paranormal romance series that are so much better that I just can't give more, even if i want to, because I'm really enjoying this series, but if I must compare it with others, it really doesn't deserve more than a 3 stars rating IMHO.(less)

The first two books were silly fluff, with a largely unlikeable heroine but enough of a quirky setup that I was interested to read on. Train stops here, though.

Betsy becomes even more shallow, pigheaded and crass, if that's possible. Everyone else operates as spokes on her self-centered little wheel. Plot points are brought up only to be left as loose ends. Betsy's half-sister seems to be a plot thread, except that there's no real event or resolution involving her. Sinclair's an idiot who is app...more

Terzo volume di questa lunghissima saga dedicata a Betsy, una vampira fashion che diviene regina dei vampiri e consorte di un vampiro supersexy!
Il bello di questa saga è che ogni volume è una storia a sé, con un suo inizio ed una sua fine, con gli stessi personaggi sempre presenti e che vivono assieme le varie avventure.
Non morta non è la classica saga noir sui vampiri, in questi libri vampiri ed esseri sovrannaturali solo un ingrediente aggiunto alla storia.
I protagonisti sono sempre ben delineati e ben caratterizzati, anche quando vengono introdotti nuovi personaggi l'autrice cerca sempre di dare una quadro completo del nuovo arrivato, dando al lettore un'idea chiara sia dell'aspetto fisico sia del carattere.
Inoltre si assiste ad una continua evoluzione della protagonista, che riesce da brava vampira ad ammaliare il lettore, il quale difficilmente riesce a non adorarla.
In questo volume il lettore incontrerà per la prima volta Laura, la sorella demoniaca di Betsy: una ragazza bella da mozzare il fiato anche ai vampiri che di fiato non ne hanno, gentile, dolce, apparentemente noiosa, ma che si rivela una degna sorella per la regina dei vampiri!
Ancora una volta non mancano ironia, azione, sesso, amore e naturalmente le fashion scarpe di Betsy: tutti ingredienti che rendono la lettura scorrevole e divertente, ma soprattutto mai noiosa.
Quello che rende diverso questo libro dalle solite storie dei vampiri è che tutto viene raccontato in maniera comica e con semplicità, come se fosse la normalità... Inoltre ciò che fa davvero la differenza è che pur essendoci un filo conduttore, come ad esempio in questo caso la ricerca della sorellastra di Betsy, la storia si articola su più piani, mostrando il rapporto che la protagonista ha con la sua famiglia e con i suoi amici, i problemi che derivano dall'esser vampiro e soprattutto la regina dei vampiri!
Se avete voglia di qualcosa di diverso ma adorate i vampiri, questo è sicuramente il libro che fa per voi e in più vi farete parecchie risate!
Una lettura veloce e leggera, una tipica lettura estiva per nulla impegnativa ma decisamente divertente!

This book in my opinion is a lot more gripping than the original two but I guess the first two in this series could be a gentle and very humerous intro into the world of Betsy Taylor and the Vamps.
In this book the plot is a tad more complex and deep, a new character is introduced but like all the others tend to be a contradiction of their stereotype -daughter of the devil- but that's what make the characters so strong. They're all uniquely different, they have their own charms, motive, attitude...more

But how can you not love a 6-months-dead vampire who turns out to be Queen of the Vampires AND who has a shoe fetish?! Granted, I don't even recognize the names of many of the expensive shoemakers, but Betsy does know an expensive shoe when she sees it, especially when the she-devil is wearing it (I jumped ahead just a little with that detail).

The devil shows up briefly in what could have been a great scene instead it is a showcase on how stupid Betsy can be.

But I didn't expect it to be so uninteresting or unrevealing by the time I got to the end. I wondered for a little - did they leave out a few chapters? So, after reading all the way to the end, I have no idea what the implications of Laura and her being the devil's daughter is. Frankly, this installment, I could see made into a 60 minute episode. There wasn't much going on and yet so much going on all at the same time. It felt a lot like filler.

Betsy is still pretty funny. And the relationship with Sinclair progresses, but there's no real romance between them. Like I said with the first book, this would I think be more appropriately categorized as Sci-Fi then romance. If Charlaine Harris's books are in Sci-Fi, then these absolutely should be too. One scene that attempts to convey Betsy and Sinclair together, in the most crude yet comical fashion ("was happily bouncing my way..." and "you don't need to stop to catch your breath" and "well, at one point both of us had kicked [the headboard:]" isn't exactly the most erotic description of what was going on between them. Plus, I can only guess that the absence of Jessica has some other long term implications because the majority of the book - where she was simply listening on the end of a baby-monitor was definitely lacking as a result of her absence.

I am also having a hard time with the whole Sinclair-Betsy relationship. There has been no real development of that, no time dedicated to understanding that. It has always simply been - she is my queen therefore I love her. Where's the romance in that?

The only real additional character development here was in George - one of the fiends - and that was minimal. As well as with Laura. But even her development felt superficial. I was also really looking forward to some cool descriptions of a Halloween wedding - and that flashed by so fast, it was as if you blinked, you'd miss it. Overall, this wasn't as engaging or interesting, once finished, as the first 2. I still want to read the next one - to see where the whole Laura story was going, but I'm not going to go rushing out to buy it. Might read the next Sookie instead - at least there is a little more chance for some real romance in that book.

Not bad, but filler material in my mind. (less)

But everything isn't easy as pie being a new nightclub proprietor. She'd acquired the business in an unconventional way (she staked the previous owner and everything she owned was passed down to Betsy) and the staff loves her as much they love the sunlight. But an uncooperative staff and failing business isn't Betsy's biggest problem at the moment. As if being 'dead' wasn't a big enough problem, she's got other shit to handle.

This time around Betsy finds out that her evil stepmother, Antonia 'Ant', is pregnant and her father slips up and reveals that this isn't the first time Ant was pregnant with Betsy's half-sibling. Betsy and her cohort of human and vampire friends, set out to find her half-sister born twenty years ago. Not only does she learn of her half-sister, but also finds out that Ant was possessed by the devil while pregnant and the girl was fated to take over the world, according to the Book of the Dead. An important fact that Consort, Eric Sinclair, had failed to mention.

What is it with Betsy's dad? First, he's a father to the future Queen of Vampires. Then his next offspring is the spawn of the Devil. That sure is some crazy DNA!

Betsy eventually tracks down the Spawn of the Devil, I mean - her sister and comes to find out that the girl isn't half bad. On the contrary, long-lost sister, Laura Goodman, just happens to be the polar opposite of what Betsy envisioned. Laura is a sweet as sugar (also, kind of smelled like a sugar cookie), fun loving, church going, college student. Who would-a thunk the Spawn of the Devil would end up being a preachers daughter? Betsy forges her way to forming a relationship with Laura in hopes of maybe preventing her from turning evil.

If tracking down her Evil half-sister, running a business and dealing with stubborn employees wasn't enough trouble, Betsy has another issue at home to take care of. Eric Sinclair. At the end of the previous book, her best friend and roommate, Jessica, had invited Eric Sinclair and his assistant/maker, Tina, to move in to their enormous mansion. Of course, Eric gladly obliges and even agrees to pay rent! Being in constant proximity with Eric irritates Betsy to no end but also makes her evaluate why she's so irritated by him. Yes, she thinks he's an evil and sneaky snake but is he really? Betsy eventually lays all her Eric Sinclair cards on the table and decides what all her feelings really mean.

Although, this book lacked the mystery element and was a bit anti-climactic as the first two, it was still jam packed with hilarity from Betsy and friends. What we do gain this time around is a peek into the already established relationships in Betsy's life and introducing her to a new one. As I've stated before, what I really love about these books is Betsy's unfiltered mouth, her immaturity and vapidness. The woman is just so ridiculous at times that you can't help but like her. Well, at least I do. Just because she's thirty doesn't mean she has to be a constant mature adult, which is how this thirty-one year old feels. As for our hottie vamp, Eric Sinclair, he fits the mold of the possessive, cold and mysterious vampire that any paranormal reader is used to. But as Betsy realizes, maybe we're all too quick to make assumptions about people without really getting to know what's inside their head. Obviously, not all Vampires are bad news and it seems Betsy and Eric's relationship has moved on to more mature footing.(less)

The one thing that bothers me, and that I really don’t want to get too tired of, is how similar all of her stories are. Her main characters tend to have a hard time opening up to love, are very open with how much they cuss, the guy tends to fall first, and a lot of the time they even kiss or have sex before they’ve fully fallen. And I don’t mind all of these things, but doing it in every story can get a bit old. I just hope that I don’t get too tired of it too fast; which might mean that I should slow down the time between books.

Anyway, this is the third book starring Betsy Taylor, and I have been enjoying this series so far. In this book, Betsy finds out that she has a step-sister, while dealing with the fact that her step-mother is pregnant. And then, when she tries to read that all-special Book of the Dead, only to kind of turn evil for a short while. Some drama goes on between her and her best friend Jess, and then something happens between her and Sinclair before she finally admits to herself that she loves him and they become engaged. But only because it will make her feel more official about it, while it’s already official in his head, what with their being King and Queen together. Also, her step-sister is the daughter of the devil and is supposed to cause the end of the world, but she doesn’t really have any interest in that.

That pretty much sums up what happened in this book, in as little detail as possible.

I already said that I enjoyed it, and I did.

I’m looking forward to reading the next one, as soon as my local bookstore gets it in. I’m interested in all the wedding stuff that’s going to happen, now that Betsy and Sinclair are married, as well as just the general romance between them. I want to see more of their friends, and just whatever drama is going to come up next.(less)

Quotes from Undead and Unappreciated

“He snarled at me. "This isn't over yet, Betsy."
"Excellent," I said. "I would also have accepted 'You haven't seen the last of me' and 'You'll regret this'.” — 22 people liked it

“I—I adore you, too. Well, I don't know if I adore you. That's not really the word I'd use. But I—I—" I managed to wrench it out. God, this was hard! "I love you."
"Of course you do," he said, totally unsurprised.
"WHAT? I finally tell you my deepest, most personal feelings and you're all, 'Yeah, I already got that memo'? This, this is why you drive me nuts! This is why it's so hard to tell you things! I take it back.” — 18 people liked it
