I've enjoyed all the undead series and couldn't wait for this one. It was her books that started me on the paranormal romances. This one was a HUGE disappointment. Very boring and really nothing new about it. Hope the next one makes up for this one. Maybe time to end the series???

Betsy the Vampire Queen #5.

Lots going on. Sometimes, it almost seems like too much. Humor keeps the book moving forward. It will really help you with some of the side stories if you have read some of her short stories.

Betsy's birthday is approaching and some very powerful vampires from Europe have finally showed up to check out the new queen. There's a hint of seriousness to the plot when someone ends up ill, but I liked the depth that added to the story. Overall, not my favorite in the series, especially considering I was expecting a wedding to occur in this installment, but I love the brain candy aspect to the series as a whole. I do wish the author would move forward at a slightly faster pace. She could easily cover a year or so of adventures in one book, but she doesn't. Oh well. I will continue to follow along because it's still a fun series to me.

Hilarious!! Now, I'm sad because the next book in the series doesn't come out til 2007. If you haven't read the Undead books, DO IT!! It's like Sex and the City , but with vampires!!

I am not into vampires and their stories but wanted to read something by Davidson as she is so popular. I see why for her story is racey and unconventional..... still not my cup of tea or should I say blood.

While all the Undead books are quick, laugh out loud reads, I found this one to be more annoying than the others in the series. It was ok, but not a read again

I have read the first five books in this wonderful series. However, I have to say that this book is probably my least favorite. Davidson's character, Betsy, is very believable--mostly because the story is told in her point of view--but the supporting characters are weak, at best. Sinclair, Betsy's love interest, has somehow taken a less than masculine role in his relationship with her and I find it hard to keep in mind he is a vampire. I do enjoy reading Davidson's work and hope the next book in this series will be better.

With her 31st birthday right around the corner, and plans for her upcoming nuptials chewing up so much of her time, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor really doesn't have the time or patience to deal with the faction of European vampires that have decided to finally come and pay their respects to the Vampire Queen and King. Not only are they snotty and stuck-up, but one of them is also responsible for the death of fellow vampire and friend Dr. Sophie Trudeau. And Sophie's definitely holding a grudge since Alonzo simply drained her blood and left her for dead in a dark alley in Paris back in 1892. So now, on top of everything else, she's expected to decide the fate of this arrogant ass too?! With her brother BabyJon pooping up a storm, Betsy's definitely got her hands full!

It's been nearly a year since I visited Betsy because I wanted to catch up on her Wyndham Werewolves, who start to make appearances (as minor characters) in some of the Betsy books now. So I read the 2 short stories in the Secrets 6 and Secrets 8 anthologies, the short stories in Dead and Loving It, and the full-length novel Derik's Bane, all within the previous year before picking up Undead and Unpopular.

Like the previous books in the series, Undead and Unpopular was a quick, light read. You feel as if the whole novel could have happened in a single day or two, and in fact, I think it probably did, or a week at most. *grin* If you're looking for a wonderful story and intricate plot line, don't look here; this series is pure fluff! But the characters are likable and funnyâ"not quite hilarious, but certainly chuckle-worthyâ"and the action is never dull. I'll be looking forward to Undead and Uneasy, the next in the series, which I hope to squeeze in soon so I can be fully caught up on this series. :)

This book is a whole lotta nothin'. Yeah the one-liners are still cute, the general silliness of the premise is still sort of funny. But this book had almost no plot, no hook for the reader and not really any development in any of Betsy's personal relationships or new characters. I'm re-reading the series and I know that eventually I got so frustrated I stopped reading. In the re-read, I'm ready to quit reading now although I think I have another four or five books to be up to date. Besty and Sinclair aren't sexy anymore. There's no new information about this vampire world. This book is the same as the last book which was the same as the previous. Blah.

2.5 stars

Betsy is back. And this time she's decided to give up drinking blood. And she has lots of unscheduled visitors to her home at all sorts of hours and it's great.

The steaminess continues to get better as the series progresses. They are enjoyable little scenes. And I like the development of Betsy - into someone not quite so "blond" (as another reviewer put it).

I am looking forward to the wedding in this Series - maybe after that, we can get more romance for the other characters. Or just more "screen time" for the ones that are going on now (Jess and Nick would be a great perspective to see).

These books are hilarious, sexy, with a high level of mystery and intrigue thrown in. I recommend this series to anyone who loves friendly vampires... and some not-so-friendly ones.

The publisher could have squeezed 3 of these Queen Bersy books into one book and it would have been a more worthwhile read. I like these Queen Betsy stories because of their humor, but find them overpriced! The font is large and the book issued in harcover/oversized paperback - too small a story for the high price! Best to trade for it or check it out of the library.

Please be advised,while this book is witty and amusing, it contains very blatant sexual language.
