Undead and Unworthy (Queen Betsy, Book 7)

overall i enjoyed the book. read it in one sitting and even though all the flashbacks were rather monotonous i really enjoyed the book. it was a good read and worthy of the first book
as for the cover i really didnt pay much attention to it so i neither liked it or not

This book had its Betsy moments. Although I'm not sure I like where this book is taking us as far as the storyline goes and this newest book was most defiantly not as fun as the others. All in all I'd have to rate this book as being my lest favorite of the entire series so far.

I was a little concerned when I saw and heard about the "new look". The original cover art was all sharp angles and decidedly quirky, and made me smile even before I opened the book. It really fit the mental image of Betsy as you got to know the character. The new cover art just makes her look like the Unabomber.

The book iteslf is thin on plot, thin on action, and thin on words. They've made the print larger and doublespaced it to make it look like a normal length novel, but this is really only about 80 actual pages worth of words. The foreword says it's the first of a 3 book arc, but I think MJD should have finished all 3 and made 1 normal length book.

I really did not appreciate the deaths of Antonia and Garrett. This is supposed to be ROMANCE, happily ever after. You don't kill off characters who have been the leads in their own novella.

I have been reading and recommending the Undead books since the first one came out, but this was disappointing.

Definitely Unworthy of the Betsy heritage.

I've read all the Betsy books, all of them more than once, and I can honestly say that this is one of the worst. It seems to be MJD's trend to have Betsy whining and Sinclair and Tina evading and obfuscating to the very end. So nothing is resolved in the big picture, only the crisis of the day is over. Plus, they killed off many of the sidekicks so now there'll be an excuse for another 1/2 book worth of introduction of new sidekicks.

Way to pad up the books without actually deciding on any conclusions. So what is the Ant there for? How should Laura be handled? What happened to Cathy the Ghost? What were the Fiends feeding on while Alice was dead?

So many unanswered questions - MJD should buck up and at least tie up some loose ends. The books are not worth the paper they're printed on otherwise.

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.
