While I have enjoyed most of Betsy's adventures so far, I can't say this one thrilled me. I was seriously thinking about not finishing the book (quite a rarity for me to consider such a thing) when we suddenly heard the story from Eric Sinclair's perspective (Sink Lair, king of vampires, Betsy's...
This anthology is three novellas. The first "Super, Girl!" would only get a 2-star rating if it was a stand-alone work. A superhero who has to eat staples and dirt or anything handy to maintain her super abilities is a little off-putting, though I'm happy for her that she found a true love that f...
I believe it was said that Unstable is the 3rd in a mini-trilogy of sorts & of that I am glad. This story line was a wee bit hard to swallow for 3 books, but it wrapped up & alls well that ends well. I think. I am still not sure I like Sinclair as quite so mushy & emotional & open. I think I like...
Although not as light and fluffy fun as the first few books in the Undead series, it is probably the better of the current story arc. It has gotten so crammed with characters or with the could be confusing story of parallel dimensions and time traveling that the humor of the original books is nea...
Vampires and werewolves, a classic tale. I was prepared for eye rolling here. We met the Wyndam werewolves in the short story "Fiend in Need," and I actually liked them and would love to read their series in the future, but I just wasn't sure how this story was going to play out. It was nice to s...
I picked this to read basically for the story by MaryJanice Davidson. Turns out, for me, hers was by far the weakest of the four stories here. "Tall Dark and Not So Fairy" seemed like she wrote it in her sleep..or halfway drunk. My favorite story was "Dust Me, Baby, One More Time" by Michele Hauf...
The end of the last book was awful. This one starts out weird and kinda terrible. It has more redeeming parts than the last one and there are certainly still some humorous things cropping up, but I'm starting to wonder why the series is going in this direction because it's not as fun as it used t...
In this installment, Betsy, Sinclair, Baby John and Jessica go to the cape to pay their respects to Antonia, who gave her life to defend Betsy. The werewolves give them a luke-warm reception. Meanwhile, Mark is having his own problems with Betsy’s devil-spawned sister Lara. The story wasn’t as i...
Well i'll start by saying that it was a bit weird that every other chapter consisted of Marc's side of the events, but it was entertaining.Betsy finlly takes Antonia back to her Pack for proper burial and is forced to face their murderous stares..Betsy finds out what makes the werewolves antsy ar...
Now that was more like it! Betsy back to her best and probably the most interesting book of the series so far in regard to plot line. I couldn't put this one down and just needed to constantly know where the story was going to take us. I am officially hooked again and now have a million unanswere...
This book started off rocky but by the end it reminded me of what I enjoyed in this series. This book started off rocky but by the end it reminded me of what I enjoyed in this series.
Initially, I didn't think I would finish this book. I had not read the first book in the series, so I read reviews about the first book on Goodreads before I understood that the premise of the book is that Cadence has Multiple Personality Disorder, and the book fluctuates between her 3 different...
Was not very impressed with this book, I am usually able to read MaryJanice Davidson books very quickly. This one took almost two weeks. I don't like taking that long to read any book. It just seemed much choppier than the first. It was an okay effort but fell flat. I think she's going for m...
This short story is a prequel to Me, Myself and Why and sets up the odd but intriguing idea of an FBI agent harboring three different personalities. Poor Mr. Better, stuck trying to figure out what the beautiful but very scary strange girl with the runaway cat and not get himself injured (or more...
I've always been a big fan of the Betsy series, but I feel that the story lines are getting a little too flaky. I enjoyed the book, but spent a lot of the time wondering what was going on - not always in the fun way, either. Betsy is getting much more scattered (who could have thought that possib...
Really, I think this should be a 3.5. I will go ahead and rate each story separately. The Fixer-Upper: I would give this story a solid three. It was a good concept, but I still had issues with the ending. Paradise Bossed: Unfortunately, I would give this story a two. This was by far the weakest o...
Trigger Warning- SuicideI don't think that suicide should have been included, especially given that the cover and blurb don't even hint at it. I honestly feel like Davidson could have written the story without including it (surely just having Lois realise she hated her life and wished she was any...
Two novellas in one book and FUN with a capital F!The First Novella "Thief of Hearts" is about an E.R. doctor named Dr. Jared Dean and Kara - who is better known on the streets as The Avenging Angel. They have a chance encounter and their lives become entwined in a screwball "it can only happen i...
~4/5[Also available on my blog.]This book is made up of three intertwining short stories, and I kind of loved them. I even kind of wish Davidson’s other stories were a bit more like this. And, oddly enough, I kind of think that Davidson shines a bit more in short stories than in full length novel...
Swimming Without A Net is the second novel in the Fred the Mermaid series by MaryJanice Davidson. Fred is called upon to attend a meeting of the mer-people but what she isn’t told is why she has been invited and why no one has bothered to talk to her since she got there. Finally another mermaid, ...
Ohhh what a pleasant surprise! I tried this book because I really liked the title and I ended up really liking it!We meet Betsy Taylor. Yeah, her full name is Elizabeth. So... its Elizabeth Taylor. Don't say it - she's already heard it all! But THIS Elizabeth Taylor is a recently laid off se...
Betsy has not taken well to learning that not only is she a vampire but the queen of the vampires. Sure, her mother and her best friend adjusted to the change amazingly but even with that support, Betsy cannot seem to stay out of trouble. When Betsy learns that she has a half sister, she is draw...
I read this of course for Maryjanice Davidson and ended up liking the whole book. It took me awhile to admit to myself that I like romance novels. I read this one when I was still heavy in denial. With it's pink cover, cutesy cherub and being about all things Valentines day. I was certain I would...
It's been a couple months since Undead and Unwed. Betsy has still not adjusted to the fact that she is queen of the vampires and that with that title comes responsibilities. Betsy is determined that she will regain some semblance of a life and for her, this means getting a job and paying her ow...
Hysterically funny read! If you're looking for The Thornbirds or The Tudors - don't stop here. This is a book for those of us who worship at the altar of snarky dialogue. And for those who love a heroine so far south of Cinderella that she wouldn't have gone to the ball unless she was really b...
While Eric Sinclair considered them consorts and not in need of a wedding ceremony, Elizabeth (Betsy) Taylor had always dreamed of her wedding day. She was having a wedding, she was the Queen Vampire and no one was going to stand in her way of having that dream wedding. Not her new born baby br...
3 1/2 starsI read the first two books in this series back in 2004. I know, that was ages ago. I loved Undead and Unwed so much I gave it an A- at All About Romance. I loved the sarcasm and the over-the-top superficial heroine and the in-your-face sensuality all of which wasn't overdone yet back ...
“This place drives me nuts sometimes: nutty vampires, a bitchy werewolf, a zombie, a grumpy billionaire, and a vampire on a hunger strike.”Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Well, sadly, the book isn’t that thunderous and comical as you may think from the quote above. Yes, all of the aforementioned creatu...
I started and finished this the same day; heck, it only took a couple of hours, all total, to read this foul-mouthed, vapid, empty piece of garbage. I wanted to like this book, despite a friend's warning of its awfulness rattling around in my head. It had such potential. There are all manner o...
