Undead and Unsure by Mary Janice Davidson

Undead and Unsure by Mary Janice Davidson - 320 pages
12th book in the Undead series

Betsy, Queen of the Vampires, has killed Satan which has now put her half-sister Laura (the Anti-Christ) in charge of Hell since Satan was Laura's mother.  In true ditzy diva Betsy fashion she attempts to mend fences with Laura by staging a family Thanksgiving at the mansion with all the usual Scooby gang of vampires, ghouls, pregnant friends and whatnot.  This book continues the snarky pop culture tone that is what makes this series such a fun read but Betsy is getting more and more unlikeable in each book.  This highlight of the minimal plot is finally finding out the truth behind Jessica's epic pregnancy and Betsy finally taking a little responsibility for her actions.

Undead and Unstable by MaryJanice Davidson

Undead and Unstable by MaryJanice Davidson - 336 pages
Undead / Queen Betsy Book 11

The dark fun continues in the latest entry in this popular series.  Vampire queen Betsy is heartbroken over the suicide of her best friend / roommate Marc.  Betsy recently returned from visits to both Hell and an apocalyptic future so that has her reeling as well.  This may sound like a massive downer, but the snark level in Betsy's handling of these events makes for a hilarious light read.  Think of Sookie Stackhouse meets Stephanie Plum!
