Undead and Unemployed by MaryJanice Davidson

undeadThis is the second book  in the Queen Betsy series.

Betsy is having one rough week as her house is being destroyed by termites, she has no job, awful luck at the unemployment agency, the steamy detective is on to her newly ‘undead’ status, people are killing vampires and as Queen she needs to do something about it, and both vampires and humans want her dead.

She and her friends move into a super fabulous house but too big to be comfortable and now they have all sorts of unwanted guests.

This books is written in the same style as the first. It’s light, witty, and fun. Sinclair is still hot, Betsy is still a shoe-obsessed hot head, and the banter between the two is priceless.

I found that this book was as predictable as the first, unfortunately. Not to say that the first book was predictable but knowing the ending and the bad guy in the first, it’s not hard to guess who the new bad guy will be.

I’ll compare this novel to one of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich. I’d much prefer to read anything by MaryJanice Davidson, as the woman has me in stitches – but her main character makes one or two silly errors, that you’d expect only from the not-too-clever/never-learns-from-mistakes Stephanie Plum.

I will say, however, that Davidson brings some new elements to this book and Queen Betsy finds herself with some new advantages to her royalty.

A must read for vampire and chic-lit fiction lovers!
