Queen Betsy (Undead) Series by Mary Janice Davidson

Queen Betsy / "Undead" Series 

By Mary Janice Davidson

This is one of those series where you feel like you "know" the characters, or at least I did. I yelled at Betsy, told her what to do, clapped & cheered her on, and fell in love with her. I am constantly at a battle of wanting to finish the books yo find out what happens and not wanting it to be over so I read slower.

Betsy was a typical office secretary. She worked hour an executive, fixed the printer, and saved her bosses butt... That was until she got fired and then hit by a car all in the same day. When she wakes up in a morgue in a tacky pink suit and cheap shoes, she's unsure what happened. But after trying to re-kill herself, she is resigned to her nee reality. She's a Vampire. But not just any vampire, Betsy is foretold to be the Queen.

My Next List

How OCD is it that I'm planning in advance to make a list? i mean seriously?

but if i don't tell you, I'll forget. So i had to remind myself.

So I just posted about my reading list and i was thinking i should do a list of my wish list reading list. The books i want to read, but haven't gotten too yet.

The only way i can keep track is by having a wish list on amazon.

This way i can get your opinions on books.
Did you like them?
Did you LOVE them?
Should i totally skip them?

The recommendations i got from my last post I'm adding to my list by the way.

Thanks for helping me remind myself.

Book Review

So as many of you know i am a bit obsessed with vampires. I admit it started with twilight. But its developed in to so much more. No, I'm not wearing fake vampire teeth and running out to stock up on lace up knee high doc martins, but i do enjoy reading about them.
This was my last update: My Reading List!
I'm warning you now: this is a long one!!

Books I've read

(in no particular order)

all books are linked to Amazon.

Night World
-Its an interesting mix of short stories. they're not great, but they're good reads. They're all tied together in a weird twist. for instance: book 2 story 1 has the same character as book 1 story 3, but instead of being a primary character they're mentioned once or twice. Now, I can not tell you for the life of me honestly which books and stories had similar or the same characters. It was a good read though. Not twilight good but better than vampire kisses.

Night World No. 1: Secret Vampire; Daughters of Darkness; Spellbinder
Night World No. 2: Dark Angel; The Chosen; Soulmate
Night World No. 3: Huntress, Black Dawn, Witchlight

There's a rumoured Night World No. 4 coming. but I'll believe it when i see it. according to Amazon "This title will be released on April 6, 2010"



Blue Bloods
-I read these on my trip home. I'm not going to lie, i LOVED these books. They're a quick, simple, easy read. but they're really good. its a good twist on the vampire folk lore. Its an addition i hadn't seen before. I can't wait for book for #6!

Blue Bloods
Masquerade
Revelations

Van Allen Legacy - in stores 0ct 6th.

Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse Series-
I wish there were words for how OBSESSED i am with this series. I want to buy the HBO/Showtime package for my TV just so i can watch this series over and over again. i LOVE these books. I've actually given them to my mom and little brother (he's 20) to read. LOVE them.

Dead and Gone - Book #9

Black Dagger Brotherhood-
I started reading these books on the recommendation of a friend and i LOVE them. It started out a little slow in book one but i love it! i went back to borders to get the next books in the series and i teared up a little in the store when they didn't have the books i wanted. :( In all honesty, if you can get past the cheesetastic names (wrath, revenge, rhage), its a GREAT series. there is also a glossary of terms in the front of the books so you know what the heck they mean by 'hellren'.

So Far I've read:
Dark Lover
Lover Eternal
Lover Awakened - my favorite so far. SO amazing and reminds me a little of me and B.

To Read:
Lover Revealed
Lover Unbouned
Lover Enshrined
Lover Avenged

The next time I'm ready for new books (like next week) I'm totally going to ordering the next books from amazon. SO excited.

There are 2 other books for this series
The Black Dagger Brotherhood: An Insider's Guide
Father Mine: Zsadist and Bella's Story - this is only for the kindle though. mother effers.

I am totally going to get the insiders guide - how awesome is a book that it needs a guide! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

The Immortals-
This series shockingly IS NOT about vampires. Its about immortal creatures and soul mates. Its main character can hear the thoughts of all of those around her. Its a really addictive series. I think i read these books in 1 weekend. I really enjoyed them, even though they weren't vampires.

Evermore
Bluemoon

Wake-
This series was so interesting to me. Its about a girl who falls into peoples dreams around her. She doesn't need to be asleep, but if someone around her is they suck her in. Again, not a series about vampires. But such a good book. its again, a teen based book. but i really got into it.
i highly recommend them. Love it. The second book was SO great! SO SO GREAT!

Wake
Fade

Darkest Powers
I'm branching out people. Yet another book not about vampires!! I Really REALLY LOVED these books. I just found out when i was linking these and getting this section ready, that they're coming out with a 3rd! i knew they were with the way the 2ND ended. but its totally exciting. Anyways... These books are about a girl who can see and talk to dead people. This book is kind of interesting, the way she combines normal teenage drama with a twist of horror. There is also an additional twist to this book that even i didn't see coming. I'm So excited for book 3.

The Summoning
The Awakening

The Reckoning - due April 27th, 2010.

What I'm Reading Now:

Wicked Lovely-

I'm Rocking these non-vampire books and LOVING every minute of it! I love love love it. These books are different than anything I've read so far. they're about Fairies or 'faeries' as the book calls them. I'm loving it. I'm just at the last couple chapters of book 2. In this series the main character can see, talk too, and interact with faeries. but she doesn't. The 'sight' was passed down from generations of woman in her family. The stories her grandmother told her warned her against it. I can't wait till i can finish this series. So Excited.

Wicked Lovely

Ink Exchange - almost done with this book

Fragile Eternity

I'm getting everything ready

To update my reading list. And give my reviews. I've been reading a lot still. I'll have my list up and linked by this Monday. I hope you guys still love a good vampire book. cause you know i do!!

My Reading List

Here's My list of books (hyperlinked to amazon) that I've read on my trip. is this necessary information for you, nope. Is it interesting, probably not. does it kill time and keep me from thinking about the hell hole I'm in, yes, yes it does. So here you go

(in no particular order)

Twilight Saga
-These books get enough hype. If you haven't heard of them, you live under a rock.-

• Twilight
• New Moon
• Eclipse
• Breaking Dawn

House of night Series
-These are shorter than the twilight saga, but i think they're better in someways. Still set during high school, but these have a different twist than the normal vampire love story-

• Marked
• Betrayed
• Chosen
• Untamed
• Hunted

Vampire Academy
-These are set during high school. The first book is a little dry and hard to get through but so worth it. book #3 is my favorite so far. These books had a twist on vampires i hadn't seen or heard before. very interesting to me, but not for everyone -

• Vampire Academy
• Frost Bite
• Shadow Kiss

Morganville Vampires
-These are my favorite little series so far. they're little quick reads, which i love. but the story line isn't lacking. The characters and the plot keep building and getting better with each book. I'm seriously anxiously waiting for the 6th book. i can't wait!-

• Glass House
• Dead Girls Dance
• Midnight Alley
• Feast of Fools
• Lord of Misrule

Vampire Kisses
-these are cutesy. if you have a young niece or daughter who liked the twilight books, or is interested in them, these might be the place to start.

• Vampire Kisses
• Kissing Coffins
• Vampireville

Midnight Breed
-1 word SMUTTASTIC. I love these books. Seriously. I had one of my guy friends here HOOKED on these books. but if you are even slightly prude in any way. these are not the books for you. but if you love a hot passionate session as much as the next girl, oh boy do i have a treat for you. -

• Kiss of Midnight
• Kiss of Crimson
• Midnight Awakening
• Midnight Rising
• Veil of Midnight

Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse Series
-I'm in love with this series. Seriously obsessed. If you didn't know the first book was made into the HBO series True Blood. I love this series. I love them. The 9th one comes out today (tomorrow for you guys). I'm waiting till i get home to read it (which sucks). but I'm seriously in love. -

WDYT? Movie posters? love or hate?

Yep totally obsessed

So i keep looking for pictures and sneak peaks onf the NEW MOON movie...
and in my time i've come across these.
Thought I'd share my awesome boredness and online picture finding skills. HAHA

obsession - The Twilight Saga: New Moon

'
OH LOOK PEICE OF CANDY!!! Eye candy that is.
This is what... i mean who they're casting as the wolf crew!! GOD i'm excited!!
Imnotobsessed

I'm way excited for the new movie. I hear a lot of talk that people hated the first movie. but i loved it. plus they have a new director for this one.

So excited for this to come out.

I kind of relate the twilight craze to that of Harry Potter.
which i honestly never understood. but i didn't read the books. I think if would have read the Harry Potter series i would have gotten inot it much much more.
But i tell you what... I'm most certanly obsessed with twilight

obsession...

In my life time i have been obsessed with Many things. barbies, worms, n*sync (lol), lime green, and cupcakes...just to name a few.



My newest obsession has taken a more...adult form. My current obsession is VAMPIRES! lol. yes, vampires. you heard me right.



It started with twilight then branched off into movies and books. No i don't want to go get some fake fangs, pretend i can fly, and drink fake blood. but i just find the whole idea and concept very interesting.



So my new favorite book series is the sookie stackhouse/southern vampire series. i love them!!!!



So the first book of the sookie stack house series was made into the TV series True Blood. Which i also LOVE!!! holy crap!



okay so i today i was crusing over imnotobsessed.com (which is totally a lie) and i found that in the second season of true blood their starting to cast people.



today they say they're casting Evan Rachel Wood in the cast in the role of Queen Sophie Anne.

She's not EXACTLY the image i had pictured for sophie anne. but its totally a good fit. I can see it though! i'm so excited for the new season of True Blood! i want to buy the expensive cabel just for this show. lol!!

oh i'm going to save my obsession for twilight for another post. lol.
