Undead and Uneasy - MaryJanice Davidson

On the lighter side....

Remember when e-books came in those very small disks that fit inside the center of your disk drive? Seems like decades ago - but actually only a few years.

In those few years MaryJanice Davidson has become a "name" in paranormal romance. Rightfully so.

I read her first published book, "Undead and Unwed", on one of those mini-disks.

Her last (I hope not) - let's say latest- in the Betsy Taylor, Queen of the Vampires, series, "Undead and Uneasy" was also on a disk - an audio one. I listened to it while driving and found myself laughing out loud and trying not to hit the potholes that grow in Pennsylvania winters.

You would think that being Queen of the friggin' Vampires would give a girl confidence. Well, not so, our Betsy. It looks like her host of paranormal characters living in King Eric's mansion (and even Eric, her beloved) have disappeared on her and so has Eric, only days before their "real" wedding - albeit with wedding cake Betsy can't eat. Well, she IS a vampire.

Davidson makes the series' unusual cast of characters realistic and Betsy's problems seem almost...well...normal.

For a laugh and a bit of romance, five witchy hats to "Undead and Uneasy" and not just because the title made my shrink laugh.
