I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series. I might give it one more go since I have a soft spot in my heart for it, and it is a pretty quick read.
But this one almost put me off. Unworthy, indeed. View all 8 comments. Jul 05, Mel Epic Reading rated it did not like it Shelves: own-print. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. At one time I loved this series. It was witty, cute and easy to read.
A wonderful 'beach read' or break between heavier books. And then MaryJanice Davidson broke a carnal rule; one I believe in a lot. She allowed a 'situation' to alter the timeline. I presume she did this so she could undo some decisions and happenings from previous books that were unpopular with readers; or because she had written herself into a bit of a corner and wasn't sure how to get out of it again to keep things moving. E At one time I loved this series. Either way it's despicable to me that Davidson did this.
I read one more book after this to see if I could get into this 'new' world and absolutely couldn't. I just hate knowing that the six books before this one are more or less wiped out of existence.
If you love this series stop at book 6. Make up your own ending and carry on to a different series. I suggest trying Macalister Katie her dragon and vampire romance books are very similar and equally funny if you want something similar.
Her last two books of this series were getting to a better story line yet without much plot. However, it just keeps getting better and better and I cannot wait to see what happens next! Among some of my favorites. Outstanding literary work. The characters are well developed, interesting. The liked characters are likable and the hated are unlikable. The writing is captivating enough to keep you interested until the end and leave you wanting more.
It 4 Stars: The series is fun and mindless to read. It has a fairly original or uniquely well-developed plot. The pretense and romance was well balanced and done with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and chemistry. Not so much predictable if at all. Overall, loved it, I recommend reading!! Undead and Unboring This series never disappoints!
Quick , easy, fun reads. This book included. I love the antics that go on! Betsy and the crazy bunch at it again. It is too much fun to not read. Just a quirk but she always finds a way to be equally fair to those who don't know why they want to hurt her. Oh and her getting sucker punched is too funny. Feb 01, Heather rated it really liked it. I found that this one had to same humor in it. Better than average, but not as good as the others. It was the beginning of a new arc, as expressed by the new cover art.
People have had significant problems with the new cover art and many actually said they wouldn't get it or would import the British version so they would not have this cover on their shelf. While I don't think it is the greatest cover and it doesn't really represent Betsy to me, I think that's crazy.
It's a picture- not picked by the author- and doesn't represent what's inside. Inside, it's the same lightweight book it's always been. What did bother me about the book was Nick. He was constantly bitching and moaning and being nasty. I get that Betsy felt bad about what she did to him in the first book, but she took a good bit of verbal abuse from him without reacting.
I found the lack of anger at some of what he was saying strange. Anyone else would have kicked his ass. And the fact that Jessica still stayed with him despite the open hatred and desire to kill her best friend puzzled me. And he was in the book for a good majority of the time. I was actually hoping he would die. I'm also hoping that the break-up between Nick and Jessica means he won't be in the next one. He's the reason I didn't think it was as good as the others.
I was just really annoyed anytime he was there. Who I do want to be in the books more is Marc. I honestly forget him as a character until he pops up again. I like him while he's there, but he's almost never there. Still, MJD did trim down her character pool a little, though it was sad, and maybe they won't be replaced for a while.

Frankly, I'm not all that thrilled. Betsy is still Betsy -- still childish, still prone to immaturity, still interested with having sex with her new husband as often as possible, still the new guardian of Baby Jon although he's conspicuously missing from this installment , still back-and-forth with best MJD points out in her introduction that the new cover of UNDEAD AND UNWORTHY reflects the new direction that this book and the two upcoming ones will follow; a mini-story arc within a story arc.
Betsy is still Betsy -- still childish, still prone to immaturity, still interested with having sex with her new husband as often as possible, still the new guardian of Baby Jon although he's conspicuously missing from this installment , still back-and-forth with best friend Jessica, still vampire-non-grata for Detective Nick. It's all still there, with a bit of humor thrown in, and a new weird sideline into what I guess is the aforementioned "arc.
I don't expect the author to go into intricate detail a la Stephen King of description, dialogue, and backstory as I said, it's not MJD's trademark , but just a few pages when you've seriously lessened the number of main characters??
And I'll still follow the series, even though it's not as great as it once was basically, during the first two books. But I'm putting MJD on notice that, really, it's just not right to indiscriminately kill off some of my favorite characters.
May 19, Lisa rated it did not like it. Started this book a few days ago and hate it! I read the whole series up to now and I'm walking away. The first two books were cute and fun. The third was pretty entertaining as well. The series should have stopped there.
The author insists on rehashing past story lines at the beginning of each subsequent book. If a reader is stupid enough to pick up book 7 without reading the prior books, too freakin' bad!
As a result I would recommend borrowing it from the library or waiting for it to be printed in a cheaper paperback form before purchasing this book. This review may seem harsh but the problem is that after reading Undead and Unwed, or Undead and Unemployed or even Undead and Uneasy I know that the author can do better than this.

It hurt a little, because normally I needed more than sixteen seconds of foreplay, but it was also pretty fucking great literally! I wrapped my legs around his waist, so I could admire my sequined leopard-print pumps don't even ask me what they cost. Then I grinned up at him, I couldn't help it, and he smiled back, his dark eyes narrow with lust. It was so awesome to be a newlywed. And I was almost done with my thank-you notes!
I let my head fall back, enjoying the feel of him, the smell of him, his hands on my waist, his dick filling me up, his mouth on my neck, kissing, licking, then biting. Then my dead stepmother said, "This is all your fault, Betsy, and I'm not going anywhere until you fix it. Am I hurting you?
