I did , thought they were cute, unfortunately read them before I started writing reviews but I enjoyed enough to read the whole series!
I got a kick out of the Betsy, reluctant queen of the vampires, books- lighthearted, humorous vamp series. Nothing serious or tension filled- just fun.
I thought that the further I read into the series, the worse it got. The first few books were pretty good and then it loses focus once it enters the set of arcs in the books. (MaryJanice Davidson explains this at some point in her blog so look it up)There's less of a plot and more of Betsy's internal ramblings. There's less Eric Sinclair and more of Betsy's internal ramblings.
It seems to me that MJD bases herself on her female protagonists -- the rambling, the love for shoes and clothes -- and that began to grate on me because it was just too much.
Tasula is mostly correct. These books are fun and humorous but as they go on, they get very dark. There's some time travel in a couple of the later books and there are some very dark, disturbing cliff-hangers.
I've stopped reading them because they bacame a jumbled mess with no real plot in sight. I may revisit the series when the it has finished so that I know for sure that MJD knew where she was going.
So, yeah. Initially, these were great. These books were quirky, light and funny. But combine the lack of plot and lack of character appearances in the books, you're just left with Betsy.
