As a longtime fan of this series I was excited to get the chance to read UNDEAD AND UNSURE by Mary Janice Davidson.
I am happy to say that once this book hooked me in it kept me interested and has me eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series. This book is not as action packed as some of the previous books but it still kept this reader's interest. It is full of the fun and sarcasm we are used to with this series and seems to be setting things up for future books.
Betsy has decided that a family get together is just what she needs to help her make amends with Laura for killing the Devil but Laura has other plans than making up. Suddenly Sinclair is able to withstand sunlight and Jessica is still pregnant and this is only the beginning of the chaos.
Once again Betsy tells us much of the story but we also are treated to some of Sinclair's narration. I enjoyed the parts told from Sinclair's point of view. I love Betsy but sometimes it is nice to see things from another person's perspective and especially one we hardly hear from. Once again Betsy grows and learns in this book. Sinclair has learned a lot as well and finds that he must grow as well. Laura and Betsy are still trying to work out their relationship as all siblings do theirs is just on a much grander scale.
Some readers may feel a bit disappointed with the lack of action in this book but I enjoyed the growth that all the characters go through. Sometimes you need to take a step back and give some depth to the characters. With this book we find out just what makes certain people tick and how they manipulate those around them. I was surprised at many of the twists in UNDEAD AND UNSURE and wonder what is in store for Betsy and the gang in the next book.
UNDEAD AND UNSURE comes with a few twists and turns that I did not see coming but totally enjoyed. Even though this book is not one of my favorite Betsy stories it is still a fun read.
Vampire queen Betsy βdonβt call me Elizabethβ Taylor is back
βand thereβs going to be Hell to payβin MaryJanice
Davidsonβs βone of a kindβ (Darque Reviews) New York Times
bestselling seriesβ¦
Itβs no surprise to Betsy that her trip to Hell with her
sister Laura landed them in hot water. Betsy isnβt exactly
sorry she killed the Devil but itβs put Laura in a damnable
position: assuming the role of Satan (she may not have the
training but she looks great in red)βand in charge of
billions of souls as she moves up in the world. Or is that
down?
But Betsy herself is in an odd new position as wellβthat of
being a responsible monarch suddenly in charge of all things
more earth-bound: like her vampire husband Sinclair who has
gone from relieved to ecstatic to downright reckless now
that he can tolerate sunlight. And if Sinclair isnβt enough
to contend with, Betsyβs best friend Jessica is in her sixth
(and hopefully last) trimester. Considering sheβs been
pregnant for eighteen months, sheβs become a veritable
encyclopedia of what not to expect when youβre expecting.
Oh, the horrorβ¦
And speaking of growing pains, Betsy and Sinclairβs adopted
little BabyJon is finally starting to walk. And if the
increasingly unpredictable toddler is anything like his
extended family, precisely where heβs headed is anyoneβs
guess.
