Synopsis
Betsy Taylor has problems that only a vampire queen/suburban wife could possibly understand. Such as taking the body of her werewolf friend Antonia-who died in her service-to Cape Cod, where she's not sure if the Wyndham werewolves will welcome her with fangs or friendship. Meanwhile, her posse back in St. Paul is sending frantic e-mails alerting Betsy to her half-sister's increasingly erratic behavior. Looks like the devil's daughter is coming into her own-and raising hell.

Review
Undead and Unwelcome is written from two viewpoints, Betsy in Cape Cod with Sinclair, Jessica, BabyJon and the werewolves and Marc (through his diary entries) at home with Tina and Laura. I was skeptical at first, but the format worked really well and I think it brought a little something extra to the novel.

I loved the extra focus on Laura and it looks like her storyline is just starting to get good. It was also a rare pleasure to get into Marc's head a bit. We even got to know what the deal with BabyJon is. I just knew something had to be going on with that kid.

There were a couple of laugh out loud moments, including Betsy's awesome bitching about Marc's love of chat acronyms. On the totally scary side, Betsy and crew finally caught a glimpse of how bad things could get.

I have no idea what they could do next, but I'm sure MaryJanice Davidson had something fantastic up her sleeve.
