Book Description:
Reluctant vampire queen Betsy Taylor may rule the topsy-turvy world of the undead, but now Betsy's discovered that she has a long-lost half-sister who's the devil's daughter--and destined to rule the underworld.

From Booklist:
Betsy, still obsessed with shoes, discovers that Ant, her wicked stepmother, was possessed by the devil back in 1986 when she gave birth to Betsy's half-sister, Laura. This means that Laura, adopted by a minister, is actually the Spawn of Satan. And that's not all: the creepy Book of the Dead prophesies that the Spawn of Satan and the Queen of Vampires will rule the world. How is Betsy going to tell the warmhearted, churchgoing, innocent Laura that her birth mother was the devil, and that Laura may be on the path to world domination? Subplots involving a fiend named George, a baby shower, and a wedding keep the action perking along.

I enjoyed this one too but the main character seems to be more chatty, in a dumb, juvenile, more curse words type of way. In other books she seemed to have a ditzy charm and a go with the flow or make the most of what you have been given type of attitude that isn't as obvious in this one.

I just started this series a few months ago and I'm hooked! Each new book in the series just gets better and better. Betsy is hilarious!

The continuing saga of Betsy, the Vampire Queen. More shoe jokes, a bit of graphic sex, Betsy's half-sister Laura, the Devil's daughter, etc. Read it in an afternoon. Quick and cute.

Fast read, if you like this series you will enjoy this book. However,I did not feel it added much to the series, felt kind of like a filler even with the addition of Betsy's sister and the Devil, (who I hope to see more of)

The Queen Betsy series is fabulously written in great detail...right down to the graphic sex scenes. I'm not very shy but she was able to make my jaw drop!

With less than 300 pages, the books are a light, easy read. They aren't met to be taken seriously, aren't incredibly deep, but have several laugh out loud moments and some that made me gasp in disbelief.

In Unappreciated, readers are introduced to Besty's "hell spawn" half sister. Laura is the devil's daughter that adopted by a Presbyterian minister. In an act of rebellion to her birth mother (the Devil), she rebels by being the perfect model citizen...a citizen that wields a vanishing sword of hellfire.

Before going crazy after reading the Book of the Dead, Betsy learns that Laura is destined to take over the world.

Elizabeth "Betsy" Taylor, Queen of the Vampires, is having yet another bad day. Her stepmother, The Ant, is pregnant with her half-sibling, and still as unlikeable as always. Her dad, stopping by to encourage her not to make an appearance at the baby shower, lets it slip that Betsy has another half-sibling that was given up years ago. Determined to find out who this brother or sister is, Betsy goes on a reading binge, locking herself in the library with her copy of The Book of the Dead.

Totally forgetting that too much vampire book in one sitting can make you insane, Betsy reads until common sense is pushed by the wayside. She attacks her best friend, Jessica, verbally harangues her friend Marc, tells off Tina, the vampire king's right-hand-lady, and jumps Sinclair's bones.

To make matters worse, Betsy discovers that her long-lost half-sister, Laura, is more than just the adopted daughter of a minister and his wife--she's also the daughter of the Devil, who took over The Ant's body while she was pregnant.

Talk about a bad week! The latest installment of the life and times of Betsy is as funny as ever, filled with MaryJanice Davidson's one blend of sarcastic wit. I can't wait for the release of UNDEAD AND UNRETURNABLE, to pick up Betsy's life where this book left off.

Who ever thought vampire books could be so much fun? A great light read with a new spin on bloodsuckers.

Darn good reading. Not a Sookie Stackhouse good but dang near close to it!

The start of the series was cute and the writing was fun and held your attention. This book was just silly and the writing lost it's ability to entertain. The book was annoying because you felt you deserved so much more from the author.

This entire series funny, sassy, and fun. Simple written, they are an easy read in one afternoon. Betsy, our Vampire Queen, is your typical 21st century girl. She rates shoe shopping as thearpy. And goodness knows she needs plenty of thearpy now that she is suddenly not only a vampire but queen of all the vampires!

I like these Queen Betsy stories because of their humor, but find them overpriced! The font is large and the book issued in harcover - too small a story for the high price! Best to trade for it or check it out of the library.

Great lite read... Love the series... I can relate to the main character. A must read if you like vamp books and have a sarcastic personality.

I loved this book. Betsy's new sister is a hoot.

Quick read and as entertaining as the previous two books.

Undead and Unappreciated finds Betsy dealing with an escapee Fiend, being crazy from trying to read the Book of the Dead, dealing with a pregnant stepmonster and finding out her half sister is the daughter of the devil.

This was an ok read. I'll have to admit that, although cute in the first 3 books, Betsy's ditzy thing is about to wear thin for me. And there are other books, so perhaps it will be explored more fully later, I wasn't really happy with explanation of Laura's life and how her adopted parents found out about her conception
