1: I Need A Change!
When I started reading this series I thought Betsy was entertaining and funny. I liked her little quirks because they made her unique and fun to read. Well, now it has turned into that relationship that has lasted to long and all I want to do is slap her. Not only that, I want to go to the Monster Mansion and slap the lot of them. I would tell Betsy to grow up and learn how to protect herself! Take your roll as Queen seriously and stick up for yourself!!! I would tell Sinclair to stop being such an A**. Trust your wife and help her and maybe she will become a better Queen. I would stick a gun in Nicks face and tell him he needs to find help because he needs to talk about his feelings.
I did end up giving the book three stars because I liked how the series began and I can't give up hope that something interesting will happen. Maybe we will see some character growth or the story will get better. It's such an easy series to read. Something I can finish in a couple of hours and I just know I will buy the next one.

2: MJD Change of Direction.
When MJD's pre-note mentioned she was taking the story into a more serious vein (no pun intended), fans weren't prepared for how serious it was going to get with the unexpected, shocking deaths of Garrett and Antonia. Queen Betsy is struggling to maintain her humanity in the presence of the inhumanity around her, and I'm reminded of another Queen by the name of Elizabeth I and her first shaky months as Queen of England. The red hair Betsy dons is a tip off. Do I sense a parallel here? Will Betsy be requiring her own Walsingham to help her steer a course of her new 'kingdom' and handle all the conflicting advice she is receiving from the older, more experienced vamps around her, i.e. Sinclair and Tina. She is learning to trust her own instincts and coming into her true powers as Queen of the Undead and I think we'll in be for a very pleasant surprise - that is, if she can find just the right pair of shoes!

3: vampirism is not the road to hell; good intentions are
The vampire king and queen, newlyweds Eric Sinclair and Betsy Taylor look forward to a long serene honeymoon in which they take nips from one another in between shoe shopping. Alas that is not to be for the royal undead. Fiend Garrett healing from some recent assaults informs the majestic pair that his fiend friends have been dining on his blood.
Thus the Twin Cities' fiends are recovering, but also hold culpable Betsy for their woes; they declared she must die. Meanwhile Nick asks Betsy for help on several murder investigations; she reluctantly agrees in order to make amends to him. Only she finds herself facing her worst nightmare of her existence, the ghost of her stepmother.
Book seven of the Undead and Un... is an engaging entry as Betsy born the queen tries to act regal beyond her shoes, but needs to pay off a debt first. The story line is the usual humor expected from a MaryJanice Davidson tale as Betsy learns a lesson that vampirism is not the road to hell; good intentions are. Fans of the series will enjoy the antics of the newlyweds as her family drives her insane while she lands in one dangerous even to an undead predicament after another.

4: fun to read
I love all the Undead books. I am shocked at some of the reviews here. At the very beginning of the the book MaryJanice tells us the books are taking a slightly different turn and this is the first book in a series of at least three books. I loved the book. I did laugh at loud and the new stories lines look good. The only reason I did not give it 5 star is because I miss the romance between Betsy and Sinclair. I would recommend this book to anyone. Cann't wait for the next one!!

5: Hmm..good but not my fave Betsy book
I must say first off that I absolutely love MJD and basically every series she has written. I understand that this is the first of a new 3 book "arc" or story line but overall I was a little dissapointed by the book.
***Spoiler alert***
I was really really mad that Antonia and George got killed off. I loved their characters and while I understand that maybe Betsy needed to see deaths in order to grow as Queen, I wasn't happy about it.
I don't really get the Ant coming back and was a little confused by it. Also the grandpa parts were strange to me, what was the point of that?
I don't really care for Nick and hope he is gone for good. Overall his character kinda bugs me, and since he is in this book so much I was annoyed a lot.
Will I buy the next book? Of course, it's Queen Betsy after all! But I do hope the next book isn't quite as depressing or confusing.
