Publisher's summary

Fans can’t get enough of New York Times best-selling author MaryJanice Davidson’s Queen Betsy vampire tales, which combine sly humor, romance, and the supernatural.

In her 11th adventure, following Undead and Undetermined, Betsy’s up to her fangs in paranormal trouble. Still heartbroken over her friend Marc’s sacrifice, Betsy is further plagued by nagging suspicions that her half-sister, Laura, is up to no good. It seems that Laura has received an offer to assume her mother’s duties overseeing Hell - but only if she first kills Betsy.

Timeline disaster

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

She ruined the story when she did the timeline change

Would you ever listen to anything by MaryJanice Davidson again?

I don't think so

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Nancy Wu?

Not sure, but I believe we had a different narrator for earlier books who was much better.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Undead and Unstable?

Most all of them

Any additional comments?

Why did she have to ruin the story with the time line?

Done done and done

So sad to be this far into a series, praying it will improve, but sadly it doesn't. With each book there's more rambling and the plot is nil. I QUIT!

so different

This is not the lighthearted Betsy I'd come to enjoy. Kept listening hoping it would change. I don't like how this book went at all

Worst book in Series!

What disappointed you about Undead and Unstable?

This book is not the next book in the series. There is another short story that connects the story. The author tells you about it in the prologue but states it is not nessary to read it. Wrong. I have been following the whole series and I was lost from the beginning. This is not the only problem with the book. In most of the story the characters have diagloge back and forth that was meaningless and uninteresting. The book does not have much of a story. I dont know if I will contiue to read the next book. Maybe its time to end the series.

I GIVE UP!!!!

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

This was it for me. The last book Undermined was better than Unfinished. I actually looked forward to reading Unstable. The title fits. This book was nothing like the first 8, which I will recommend and totally stop there.

I love Betsy but she was to much. The whining was over kill for me. It just went on and on. It seemed as if you wanted us to remember how she was instead of her growth. I was disappointed and upset throughout the whole book. I finished only due to challenging myself. The epilogues where the best part of it. I am sorry MaryJ.... I love you but I can no longer listen to a forced story. Bringing just about everyone back.. what was that? There is so much of a story to tell with new characters. Instead everyone in the house is back. I thought I would be interested in the next book. But because of the last 3.... I'm not.

Good luck with the series from here on out. My journey with the undead series ends....

What was most disappointing about MaryJanice Davidson’s story?

I did not like Sinclair. My own.... He sounded like a weak man.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nancy Wu’s performances?

Yes

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Undead and Unstable?

It seemed as though the plot was missing. Things would just happened. Seemed boring compared to the first 8 books.

Done with this crap

I am done with this series. I don’t know how a book series or any series and have a annoying self obsessed main character. Elizabeth is annoying unlikable it is really hard to get behind. If this book series was turned into a show, they would have to do so much rewriting of her character.  in this book pet, no plot at least the other books had a story or a narrative but this book was just characters talking and walking around  I don’t know how people give this book 5 stars the storytelling is trash. The characters are trash. Most of them are and Elizabeth is going to be top 10 worst characters ever created.
