Undead and Unpopular by MaryJanice Davidson

With her birthday coming up, Betsy isn't in the best frame of mind to face the powerful European vampires who have finally come to pay their respects. Playing politics is not her strong suit, especially when she finds out her best friend Jessica may have a life-threatening illness. Sure Betsy can save her life by taking it-isn't that what friends are for?-but the choice isn't in her hands. With her fiancé Eric dodging all the wedding plans, Betsy's plate is full-and not with birthday cake. But who has time to pout? Not even a reluctant vampire queen, who is taking it one high-heeled step at a time in MaryJanice Davidson's creative, sophisticated, sexy, and wonderfully witty series.



My thoughts

At first this book confused me as I thought I'd missed something in book before as there seemed to be another Antonia who was going out with Garrett yet who just suddenly appeared. It seems I wasn't aware (neither where others it seems) that there is a short novella between Undead and Unreturnable and this book. This book seemed completely rushed and I didn't really see the whole point of the European vampires, they didn't really offer much in ways of a story, apart from they where meant to be these all powerful beings but where a total let down. This is my least favourite book of the series so far as to me it just seems as if all the characters are selfish and stupid (there really is only room for Betsy with that role). There where too many new inconsequential characters that had nothing at all to add to the story. The so called 'climatic' moments where over in just a couple of pages and where rather of a let down. In my opinion this should be an in-between novella as it just doesn't seem to have anything to offer.
