Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccionos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia, or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

Story
The problem with being born with expectations is the failure to live up to any. Christopher might be the antichrist, but taking over the world and leading the minions of darkness sounds like a lot of work. And while slacking is a sin his supposed dad Lucifer approves of, his lack of goals is a problem. Personally, Christopher would rather just work hard enough to make ends meet - and maybe buy a six-pack. But fate is conspiring against him.

Story
This is not a simple story. This is not even just one story. There’s a boy, and there’s a girl. But there’s so much more than that. I was going home. Not forever; only long enough to watch my eternally irresponsible father marry a girl who happened to be my childhood enemy. There were no plans to embark on some crazy sex odyssey with a wild 19-year old baseball player. Easton Malone is insufferable, crude, and far too close. The hot, reckless days we shared should never have happened. I would forget him.

Story
A summer job. That's all it was supposed to be. It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I'd be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss.

Elena Michaels is the world’s only female werewolf. And she’s tired of it. Tired of a life spent hiding and protecting, a life where her most important job is hunting down rogue werewolves. Tired of a world that not only accepts the worst in her–her temper, her violence—but requires it. Worst of all, she realizes she’s growing content with that life, with being that person.

Alice had her whole summer planned. Nonstop all-you-can-eat buffets while marathoning her favorite TV shows (best friends totally included) with the smallest dash of adulting - working at the library to pay her share of the rent. The only thing missing from her perfect plan? Her girlfriend (who ended things when Alice confessed she's asexual). Alice is done with dating - no thank you, do not pass go, stick a fork in her, done. But then Alice meets Takumi and she can't stop thinking about him or the rom com-grade romance feels she did not ask for.

I just wanted an easy summer job.... That didn’t happen. Now, I’m in a living nightmare as I work alongside this monster of a man with mesmerizing emerald eyes that look at me inappropriately every time I see him. To add insult to injury, he has a tan I just want to lick, and a butt worth drooling over every time he purposefully walks by me. But, he's an asshat, and looks are everything. I mean, aren't. LOOKS. ARE. NOT. EVERYTHING. Why do I have to keep reminding myself of this? This is a story of little restraint, too much desire, questionable actions, and the best sex I've ever had.

Benjamin Chase is not my type. He's abrasive. He's arrogant. He doesn't take anything seriously. I'd die before I dated him, but he has something different in mind. He has to get married in the next nine months, or he loses his company to his ex-wife. And apparently I'm the most eligible bachelorette in town.

The Price family has spent generations studying the monsters of the world, working to protect them from humanity - and humanity from them. Enter Verity Price. Despite being trained from birth as a cryptozoologist, she'd rather dance a tango than tangle with a demon, and is spending a year in Manhattan while she pursues her career in professional ballroom dance. Sounds pretty simple, right?

A must listen, but...
If you are a follower, this one is a must. However, so much of this book is wasted on Betsy's constant "thinking" that I almost stopped listening. My mind wandered so much I had to rewind constantly. Nancy Wu's narration as Betsy is great, as usual, however I find the narration as Laura to be like nails on a chalkboard. Perhaps it has a lot to do with my dislike for that character in general, but it just becomes hard to listen to after awhile.

Respect...
I have a new respect for MJ Davidson. I love the Queen Betsy series, but while listening I occasionally hear some really wonderful things. One of the things many authors struggle with is getting a genuine emotion/feeling across. At one point Davidson gets the point of discomfort across with such skill that I felt like I was experiencing Betsy’s level of discomfort. I also absolutely adore the characters, but while I liked Laura, initially I don’t like her in the least now. She is the worst kind of person. A do gooder that does so not because she’s genuinely good, but because it looks good, very very common for liberals. Many comments are made about Betsy being a republican and not in a good way, but despite Betsy’s outworks appearance of being self centered she’s actually far more altruistic than the liberal characters. As for the story, I’m never disappointed when I get to the end, well except for that one time, but I think everyone was.

Another delight from MJD and Queen Betsy
At this juncture in the series, I am hardy surprised by how much I enjoy the Undead series. I love how strange and referential and goofy this series is, and have mixed emotions as I approach the end of this series. If you have liked the latter books in this series, this one is a great next installment.

Parts of the story are good
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I understand that the Betsy needs some inner monolog, but does does it have to take up more than 3/4ths of the book? The "story" is wonderful, it's her constant talking to herself that can get tiresome.
Would you recommend Undead and Unwary to your friends? Why or why not?
I have listened to every one of these books, and my only complaint is always the same. I have already recommended the story to friends.
What does Nancy Wu bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I LOVE the reader. I wouldn't change a thing about her!
Do you think Undead and Unwary needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I know there is going to be two more books to finish the series. I will miss all the characters when the series ends.
Any additional comments?
Mrs. Davidson, I don't know if you read the comments, but please cut back just a little bit on her inner monolog. You are a wonderful writer with such an interesting story. I promise you do not need all the extra filler. With you till the end always,Tara

I've loved these books from the start but it just seems as if Betsy is getting dumber as the story progresses. This book it's partly retailing previous books but it still had its own plot that was thrown into it. A lot could have been left out. After reading the previous book I took a year-and-a-half break before I read this book. The underlying plot was pretty strong here, if a lot of the other stuff that have been left out. I am immediately reading the next book to find out what's going to happen. I really hope that she grows up by the end of this series.

Davidson breathes new Life into Hell
For the last couple of novels, Davisdson has floundered. But in the last novel she set the stage for a confrontation between Betsy and her sister Laura. In Undead and Unwary, that confrontation plays out. I am please to report that this novel is excellent and a fabulous return to the fun spirited early books which made this series fun. We have a lot to chew on, Betsy matures, Laura doesn't disappoint, Jessica is hilarious, and the aunt and some new friends. Okay, you have to read it for yourself.
Wu does a fabulous job narrating as always. If you are a fan of the series, do not delay as I did. Another thing I liked in this novel was the way Davidson referred to her previous novels like footnotes instead of summarizing what we already knew -- a great device.
Go ahead a chomp it on down. You'll be glad you did.

If you've followed the series Betsy grows up
Where does Undead and Unwary rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've listened to this series since the start, and they are all laugh out loud funny. This one more than the others is one of the best since Betsy learns to take responsibility for her actions and really grows up. If you start with this book you loose a lot, you have to start with book 1 and go from there. I laughed out loud so many times with my headphones on my family was really starting to worry.....NOT.
What other book might you compare Undead and Unwary to and why?
I can only compare to Molly Harper Jane Jamison series......which was also laugh out loud funny, and about vampires.
Which scene was your favorite?
There are so many and most of them are spoilers to anyone who's into the series. I don't want to ruin it for anyone but mostly about the "TWINS" so many laugh out loud moments.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
SPOILER: When Betsy realizes her sister has lied to her for a long time, and really doesn't care about her.
Any additional comments?
I don't know what Ms. Davidson has in store for the next book, but I'm looking forward to it.
