A review by karend
Undead and Unpopular by MaryJanice Davidson
This fifth book in the Betsy, queen of the vampires, series is the weakest yet. It's a fast read and has a few fun moments, but nothing much happens and there are loose ends and random incidents galore. It's more like a collection of soap opera episodes than a novel. Betsy was lisping again and being dense, and I wish she'd just grow up already. She doesn't seem to have learned much at all in the year since she died; why is she not studying how to be a better vampire? She's not even attentive to little non-vamp things, like the difference between knitting and crochet. It annoyed me in the last book when she confused the two; I'd hoped she'd have at least learned that tiny thing by now, especially since her best friend knits (or maybe crochets--it's first person narration so because Betsy doesn't know, I don't know). Worst of all, there aren't even any hot love scenes to distract me from how maddening Betsy is.
