Undead and Undermined

By: MaryJanice Davidson

Narrated by: Nancy Wu

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author MaryJanice Davidson’s tales featuring Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor are a perfect blend of humor, horror, and high fashion. In this 10th installment, Betsy finds herself puzzling over an unusual predicament. As the Vampire Queen, she believes she cannot die. So when she wakes in the morgue, it’s a bit confusing. Could it have something to do with her recent time-traveling excursion, or has a wicked enemy emerged who could be the end of Betsy once and for all?

Genre switcheroo

I’ve loved the Betsy series up until this book. I enjoyed the series because of the light hearted tongue in cheek humor. While keeping with some humor from the other books, this book almost changes genres to the point that I’m considering not continuing the series. I’ll try the next book and hope for the best. If not. No more Betsy for me…

Fun and quick!

Betsy is back with all of her pals. In this installment, Betsy is trying to save the world from herself. Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, she doesn???t actually get very far in her mission. As with all of her adventures, Betsy is extremely active, bitches about absolutely everything just because she can, and talks about shoes. At several points, Betsy even convinces herself that she has solved the coming apocalypse. In the end, we learn that shinny objects still easily distract Betsy. I love this series. In many ways, it is a modern reinvention of Moliere???s satirical commentary on the natural vapidity of society. Furthermore, Undead and Undermined is a fascinating and hilarious window into the id, and Nancy Wu does a great job bringing MaryJanice Davidson???s undead world to life.

Any additional comments?

I am so glad that things are changed.

I'm a die hard fan.

I have loved this series from the get go. This one is okay, not as good as the past one's that I've read. I think that the stories could be longer, but maybe I'm just wanting more of the story to unfold. It seems like being in the middle of a so so story waiting for the really good stuff to come along in future books, or it's just me. I will continue to listen, but this one was just so so for me.

Interesting

I don't like the turn the books took. I am continuing with them in the hope they don't stay on this path.
