As a longtime fan of this series I was excited to get the chance to read UNDEAD AND UNSURE by Mary Janice Davidson.

I am happy to say that once this book hooked me in it kept me interested and has me eagerly awaiting the next installment in this series. This book is not as action packed as some of the previous books but it still kept this reader's interest. It is full of the fun and sarcasm we are used to with this series and seems to be setting things up for future books.

Betsy has decided that a family get together is just what she needs to help her make amends with Laura for killing the Devil but Laura has other plans than making up. Suddenly Sinclair is able to withstand sunlight and Jessica is still pregnant and this is only the beginning of the chaos.

Once again Betsy tells us much of the story but we also are treated to some of Sinclair's narration. I enjoyed the parts told from Sinclair's point of view. I love Betsy but sometimes it is nice to see things from another person's perspective and especially one we hardly hear from. Once again Betsy grows and learns in this book. Sinclair has learned a lot as well and finds that he must grow as well. Laura and Betsy are still trying to work out their relationship as all siblings do theirs is just on a much grander scale.

Some readers may feel a bit disappointed with the lack of action in this book but I enjoyed the growth that all the characters go through. Sometimes you need to take a step back and give some depth to the characters. With this book we find out just what makes certain people tick and how they manipulate those around them. I was surprised at many of the twists in UNDEAD AND UNSURE and wonder what is in store for Betsy and the gang in the next book.

UNDEAD AND UNSURE comes with a few twists and turns that I did not see coming but totally enjoyed. Even though this book is not one of my favorite Betsy stories it is still a fun read.

Book Summary

Vampire queen Betsy “don’t call me Elizabeth” Taylor is back —and there’s going to be Hell to pay—in MaryJanice Davidson’s “one of a kind” (Darque Reviews) New York Times bestselling series…

It’s no surprise to Betsy that her trip to Hell with her sister Laura landed them in hot water. Betsy isn’t exactly sorry she killed the Devil but it’s put Laura in a damnable position: assuming the role of Satan (she may not have the training but she looks great in red)—and in charge of billions of souls as she moves up in the world. Or is that down?

But Betsy herself is in an odd new position as well—that of being a responsible monarch suddenly in charge of all things more earth-bound: like her vampire husband Sinclair who has gone from relieved to ecstatic to downright reckless now that he can tolerate sunlight. And if Sinclair isn’t enough to contend with, Betsy’s best friend Jessica is in her sixth (and hopefully last) trimester. Considering she’s been pregnant for eighteen months, she’s become a veritable encyclopedia of what not to expect when you’re expecting. Oh, the horror…

And speaking of growing pains, Betsy and Sinclair’s adopted little BabyJon is finally starting to walk. And if the increasingly unpredictable toddler is anything like his extended family, precisely where he’s headed is anyone’s guess.
