Who I do want to be in the books more is Marc. I was just really annoyed anytime he was there. He's the reason I didn't think it was as good as the others. I'm also hoping that the break-up between Nick and Jessica means he won't be in the next one. And he was in the book for a good majority of the time.
And the fact that Jessica still stayed with him despite the open hatred and desire to kill her best friend puzzled me. I found the lack of anger at some of what he was saying strange. 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. He was constantly bitching and moaning and being nasty. What did bother me about the book was Nick. Inside, it's the same lightweight book it's always been. It's a picture- not picked by the author- and doesn't represent what's inside. While I don't think it is the greatest cover and it doesn't really represent Betsy to me, I think that's crazy. 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.
It was the beginning of a new arc, as expressed by the new cover art.
Better than average, but not as good as the others. But I would really probably give it 3 1/2 stars. I found that this one had to same humor in it. I love the Queen Betsy books as well as MaryJanice Davidson's other books. 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. I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series. I just wish there was a little more for me to sink my teeth into. I used to really like this series, but I think it's gotten a little too fluffy for me. In this one, it just seemed like event after event after event occurred but I didn't really care what happened to whom, or why, or how. The past novels in the series were also light and sexy, but there was enough character development to draw me in. But it just didn't seem to have that much substance to me. Along with new cover art, it seems like the story lines have gotten a little sexier and lighter. MaryJanice Davidson prefaced the book with a note to the reader letting us know that this is the first book in a new story arc. It's the seventh book in the series, and unfortunately I felt that it was one of the weakest. Undead and Unworthy is the continuing story of Betsy (the Vampire Queen), and her gang of friends.
