Book Reviews of Undead and Unworthy
Book Review: A real disappointment from an amazing author...
Summary: 2 Stars
It pains me to say it, but this book was a complete disappointment. I love Mary Janice Davidson...not only her previous Betsy books, but the Fred the Mermaid series, the Wyndhams, and Jennifer Scales have all been fun, quirky and entertaining. Definitely each book has been good for a laugh or two. The previous story "Dead and Uneasy" was probably the first big realization that this series was going down hill...but I was hoping for a positive change with the new covers and the promise of a new story arc. Now I wonder if MJD is bored with Betsy...surely its a money maker for her but it just doesn't seem as if it has the same heart that was at the center of many of the previous books. The entire plot of this one focuses on the Fiends who were left behind in a previous book. Now they are coming into awareness and have been fed Garrett's blood (and he was fed blood from both the Queen and her half sister the devil's daughter). They are determined to make Betsy pay for abandoning them, which she kinda did, by accident. The story was weak, the plot was weak, characters I enjoyed once were annoying. Betsy wasn't funny or charming. Parts of the story were completely a mess and I would have to go back and reread a passage to understand what had happened. These books have always been narrative-driven and completely the opposite of a deep read, so the confusion was beyond explanation. There were deaths of some regular characters and I should have been shocked and heartbroken, but since the other characters didn't seem to be, why should I? I think its time for the author to take a step back and acknowledge that its time to wrap up the series. She ended Fred the Mermaid while it still had a lot of potential, while the books were still fun and strong. I was sad, but I thought it was a responsible decision. Go out on top. Muster up a good, strong finale for Betsy and put this one at rest. Then we can all look forward to something from MJD that still has her heart in it.
