The Undead books are all lightweight pieces of flighty vampire chick-lit. Indeed, the author also seems to have forgotten that she is writing romance – and even in serial romance novels readers are still looking for, well … romance. This one is abrupt, shocking and unsavoury – if you thought Undead and Unworthy’s ending was bad, just wait until you read this one. Why? The author seems to have forgotten that there are three books in a trilogy and instead of wrapping up the story arc in this novel has ended Undead and Unfinished on a cliffhanger. Huh? It made little sense to me then and in light of reading Undead and Unfinished which by my reckoning (and basic math skills), should the third and last part in this “trilogy” it makes even less sense now. We were to think of as a “trilogy within a series”.
Undead and Unfinished is the ninth book of MaryJanice Davidson’s Undead series which follows the trials and tribulations of Betsy Taylor, queen of the vampires.Ī couple of books ago (in Undead and Unworthy – book 7 to be precise) the author announced that she was starting a new story arc within the series, which would run over the next three books. Where do I start? Let’s start with some book facts. But when Betsy and Laura find themselves catapulted back and forth through time, they realise they could seriously screw everything up for good. Hell, it would seem, is more terrifying than Betsy could have ever imagined - a waiting room with bad carpeting, re-runs of 70s TV shows and ancient Good Housekeeping magazines. At the end of her tether, she strikes a deal with Satan who promises to help - if she and her half-sister Laura pay a visit to Hell. Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor is fed up of trying to decipher the strange things prophesied in The Book of the Dead.
