Undead series

I've read all the Betsy books. They are just hilarious, of course, some more than others but still they are all enjoyable. I recommend them to anyone looking for a good quick read with some quirky sense of humor. I also recommend that you read them in order. In this newest book, MJD mentions that it is the first in a three story arc and that she is taking the books in another direction. Hum?

     This was, without doubt ~ IMO anyway ~ the most tense story that I've read by MaryJanice Davidson... but, that's not the statement that it may sound... I'm pretty much still a newbie to this wonderful author's works... but for me ~ wow!  I really, really had no idea what was going on, anymore than Betsy did... again that may not be saying much 'cause I usually enjoy just following along.  But I'll tell ya, there were times I was starting to get really concerned!  Mind you, the humour was still present in abundance ~ especially when the Wyndham werewolves dropped in for a vist.... Jeepers I nearly killed myself laughing!  And still we learn a little more about the many and varied characters that live with Betsy, or whose lives just plain intersect with hers.  VERY, VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

There's a short quote on the back cover from Publishers Weekly that I thought was perfect! 
             "THINK SEX AND THE CITY ~ ONLY THE CITY
                 IS MINNEAPOLIS AND IT'S FILLED WITH
                           DEMONS AND VAMPIRES."
   What an excellent summation of the series... and you've had to slog through my previous, rather rambling entries.  My apologies!     
    But I do have to say that, not knowing exactly what Sex and the City is like, I'm guessing that maybe ~ maybe? ~ the situations that Queen Betsy's facing are a little darker and edgier?... but that's just me.  Still, VERY, VERY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! (and aren't you getting tired of reading THAT all the time, eh?)

    If you like a lot of laughter with your paranormal romance, this is the series for you!  And yet, as it progresses, we begin to see a depth to the characters and a darker hue to the situations in which Betsy Taylor finds herself.  Her queenship is certainly being tested!  And as her character continues to develop, to deepen, so do the characters of the other main players.  Eric Sinclair, consort to the Queen of Vampires; Tina, general factotum to the consort; Jess, very rich best friend of Betsy's; finally Marc; the resident resident / doctor (and yes the duplication is deliberate!)  There are more characters that come into the picture, but these are the main ones... and I do love 'em all.  A great next chapter in the series... check it out!  VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
