Critic reviews

"Davidson's witty dialogue, fast pacing, smart plotting, laugh-out-loud humor, and sexy relationships make this a joy to read. And Betsy's second adventure, following her debut in Undead and Unwed, will have readers begging for more." (Booklist)

the joy continues!

MaryJane Davidson and Nancy Wu, what an amazing team, a brilliant author and a brilliant performer. no way can we ask for more. this is turning out to be an absolutely incredible series, so funny, such a joy. I love Betsy, especially when she lets loose a stream of expletives because she truly has no idea what it means to be the queen of the vampires. thank you MaryJane and Nancy.

Much better narration

Maybe I’m getting used to her reading style, or maybe it was second book confidence. But the narration by Nancy Wu was so much better in this second book.

Excellent Humerous Vampire Series

I just love this series it is so enjoyable. It isn't really a serious book it is more humerous than anything. The main character has a great personality and I just love the characters in the book. The narrator does a fabulous job. I plan on listening to all of them eventually. I wait till they go on sale because they are not very long books I would rather not waste a credit on short books.

Good, but not great

Would you try another book from MaryJanice Davidson and/or Nancy Wu?

I would definitely read another story from both MaryJanice Davidson or Nancy Wu. I love Betsy. I love this story. Somehow, this one didn't leave me as excited as the first. It was a good performance but the problem for me lies in the "already been there" in book one story line. I will listen to more in the series, but won't hold on for much hope as far as a different experience story wise!

Would you recommend Undead and Unemployed to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, Betsy is a breath of fresh vampire so to speak!

What does Nancy Wu bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brings voice to the characters that I think suits them, but she could do better with males! Her reading style is easy to listen to.

Could you see Undead and Unemployed being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes, I see this as a movie or tv series and I could've seen Alicia Silverstone doing this, but now it would have to be a younger actor with her acting chops. Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Hayden Panettiere, Anna Sophia Robb, Ellen Page or Dakota Fanning.

Any additional comments?

Great story, but lacks interesting adventure. I love Betsy's character still stays true to herself throughout the story. I really wish the books were much longer!

May the fun and humor never die

Great. So much fun, I’m just falling so hard for Betsy, and Sinclair, um yes.

Hilarious

OMG! I laughed so hard that I messed up a report for work. Betty is stupid and I want my own Sinclair.

Funny!

This was entertaining! I like how quirky the characters are. They are hilarious and they work together, it will be a great series!

Betsy + Shoes = Funny

What did you love best about Undead and Unemployed?

Ms. Davidson is good at making Betsy just ditsy enough to make her funny. Its a good thing that her friends and Sinclair have a lot of patience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Undead and Unemployed?

I liked them all. The whole book made me giggle.

What does Nancy Wu bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I can't imagine the book without Nancy Wu. She is the voice of all of these characters now.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No.

Any additional comments?

I loved these books. (you notice I used the past tense) There is a point in the future where I dislike where the author went with the story. I actually stopped reading the books and this was in my top 10 favorites. I am only mentioning this because I think it is only fair you know in the begging that this series takes a crazy turn at book either 9 or 10 I can't remember. By reading other reviews, I am not the only one who feels this way. But, the books up to that point are hilarious. So, reader be warned. You may like the direction it takes later, you may not. I feel better that I let you know.
