Undead and Unreturnable (Betsy Taylor Series #4)

Betsy & Christmas Shopping - A Deadly Combination

As Christmas approaches, Betsy has more on her mind than Queenly duties. There's still shopping to be done, a Christmas tree to put up in Jessica's house (to the horror of the vamps that reside there!) and her new baby step-brother. There's also a wedding to plan (she keeps pushing back the date she'll make it official with Sinclair), the matter of former-Bee Jon wanting to write her life's story for a college class, the reappearnce of vampire librarian Marjorie who wants her to write a column for the new vamp-based newsletter, and that god-awful Book of the Dead. Add to that some other problems--there's a murderer called the Driveway Killer loose in Minneapolis, Sinclair isn't too happy about finding out that Betsy can hear his thoughts during their 'intimate' moments, and Jessica is dating Detective Nick--and you have another comedy of errors starring the Queen of the Vampires. This book is typical MaryJanice Davidson funny, sarcastic, and full of snarky dialogue. Add to that Eric Sinclair's delicious 'metrosexuality', and it's another winner.

Loved it!!! You have to read the series!

Loved the book. I have been reading the whole series and keep going!!

Witty, Funny, and Delicious...!

One may think that as the series keeps going, the books get worse. This is NOT the case for the Undead Series. Betsy is still as funny as ever, and this time, finding the "Driveway Serial Killer". The romp between Betsey and Sinclair is still as sexy as ever, and getting stronger by the book. I absolutley LOVE this series, and cannot wait to keep reading! Always 5 stars for MaryJanice Davidson, and the Undead Series!

so cute!

I love this series!

BE AWARE

These are a fun read and entertaining but be aware that in book 9 in the last 2 pages the author betrays everything she laid out about the characters in the series previous books. I love a good plot twist but with this one everything you learn and know about the characters you learn is not true and I felt by reading the first 8 books and getting to the plot change in book 9 the author violates all you knew so enjoy but be prepared if you choose to try and read these

Great Series about Vampires, Witty and Fun

This series is great of people who enjoy a good story about Vampires. If you liked Twilight or Dead Until Dark you will love this. MaryJanice Davidson had a great writing style and keeps you pulled in all the way through. I enjoyed the series so much, I have purchased her other books as well. A great selection to tell your friends about. They should make this series into a movie or TV series. How great would that be!

Read Book One First! Not for Kids or Teens

Read this series in order. Davidson picks up where she left off and if you haven't read the previous book(s), you'll be lost! Graffic sexual descriptions, but a fun book anyway.

LOVE THIS SERIES!

Twilight can't compare!--Unlike those vamps in Twilight--these characters actually kill people and drink blood because they're vamps! Sexually oriented as well--not gonna find that in those Twilight books--LOVE Mary Janice Davidson. I want more.

Jennifer Wardrip - Personal Read

As Christmas approaches, Betsy has more on her mind than Queenly duties. There's still shopping to be done, a Christmas tree to put up in Jessica's house (to the horror of the vamps that reside there!) and her new baby step-brother.

Hardcore vampire story

I loved this book. I had to read all of them. MaryJanice managed to make a regular human woman into a very strong willed vampire queen! Not so much as a seductress vampire but a vampire who is human most of the time. Added that the very sexual and all man Eric Sinclair is her betrothed just makes it all the better! It is hardcore supernatural romance and it is all put together in a very interesting and tight way. No loose ends in this book and thats one of the best parts. The war and the romance is what makes up this book and a better combination could not be made. You will want to read more and more and never get enough.

Really like this one!

Dumb Blond, yes I think so. This is about a dumb blond that dies and becomes a vampire. How much funnier can you get?! I think this book is to really pick on the serious ¿Vampire Novels¿. You know like Anne Rice?! Serious and vampire in the same sentence, is that not an oxymoron? Who¿s a dumb blond now? It is light and funny something that can make you just laugh and relax with a nice cup of coffee after a bad day of work or hot chocolate and a warm blanket when its raining

still doing good

I really liked installment to the series. I like all of the books, though. Mary Davidson is an awesome, funny writer.

Not the best Installment, but I still Recommend it!

This wasn't the best action installment in the series. But, I liked how it took the time to show you a little more of Eric and Betsy's daily life especially Eric. There were a few unanswered questions about Laura and Jess, but I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Still Good

I must say I have enjoyed all of her books so far I think the last to was a bit of let down as far as how it just ended so fast but I thought it was a great read none the less..

No one does humorous romantic fantasy better

In Minneapolis when Elizabeth Anne Taylor died on her thirtieth birthday, her mother bought the gravestone. However, instead of resting for eternity in her plot, Betsy got up that night as the queen of the undead. The funeral was canceled, but her mom thinking you never waste a good pair of shoes decides to place the tombstone on the gravesite anyway. Thus, Betsy visits her gravesite a touching moment though Betsy worries she might ruin a pair of expensive shoes................. However she has no time for grieving because Betsy must prepare for her wedding with her soulmate (do vampires have souls?) Eric Sinclair after totally rejecting his royal snobbiest (through three previous ¿Undead¿ tales). However, irate female ghosts who fit Betsy¿s profile of tall and blond demand she track down the serial killer who murdered them. Betsy assumes this is easy to accomplish as how can the culprit kill someone who is already dead so maybe now she can go shopping without the haunting of her dead peers.......... No one does humorous romantic fantasy better than the incomparable MaryJanice Davidson. Her latest Betsy¿s ¿Undead¿ thriller starts off with a graveyard scene and turns eerier by the moment yet always retains wit and amusement. Betsy is in rare form as she plays an amateur sleuth encouraged by ghostly ¿clones¿ who nudge her worse than her mom ever did. Eric is his royal coolness except when he deals with Betsy getting into one fiasco after another when all he wants is to share Christmas blood with his beloved. The support cast is as nutty as ever as UNDEAD AND UNRETURNABLE is another wacky fun fantasy with a touch of mystery and a pinch of horror mixed in the red looking eggnog....... Harriet Klausner

Not exactly what I had hoped for

I was bored senseless by this book and I had so looked forward to reading this installment. It was more like a day in a life series and how boring some days truly are. The most dull parts were Betsy and her beau not committing to a wedding date. Betsy was so limp, I found that my hero in this book was the devil sister. Unfortunately, there was very little tension and action. All the books in the series before this one were a fun read.

Thinnest plot of the series

There is not much going on in the latest installment. It's more like a couple days in Betsy's life (if the undead have a life) but no plot to speak of. All of the books in this series are short, but this one isn't really novel length. Still, it was a good way to spend a chilly evening.

Hilarious!

I loved this book! I have been a fan of this author for awhile now. I particularly love the Undead series. You never know what is going to happen with Betsy and how she'll react. And Eric is so yummy! He seems to be slowly softening around Betsy this time around.

Undead #4

This was okay. Not my favorite. It was really choppy. A lot of things were not explained I thought. I liked seeing Betsy's nicer side though. It was a nice break from all the complaining.
