 Not my favorite in this series October 6, 2008
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.
 Laugh out loud as always September 27, 2008
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)
Embracing Her Inner Royalty September 24, 2008
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.

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.

I've loved the Undead series so far, but Betsy has used up her "I'm new at this and so don't take it seriously" gimmick. That author Davidson seems to be taking the character in a new, slightly tougher, direction is good. Not that I want the lightheartedness to go away, but Betsy needs to evolve for the series to maintain some momentum. This book is arguably a bit thin, but if, as promised, it serves as a bridge to a new level for Betsy, it's worth it. I'll be buying the eighth book in the series to see whether Davidson delivers.
