By	E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Ce commentaire est de: Undead And Unwelcome (Hardcover)

The climax of the seventh Queen Betsy book ended in a shocking way for such a light'n'frothy series: the death of one of Betsy's friends.

And "Undead and Unwelcome" is all about the fallout between the vampires and werewolves, and all the problems that Betsy has to deal with when she takes Antonia's body home. MaryJanice Davidson manages to infuse her latest adventure with the vampire queen with plenty of pathos, a tinge of weirdness (what is UP with BabyJon?) and gentle humor, but the subplot involving Betsy's devilish sister somehow doesn't fit into this puzzle.

Betsy and Sinclair fly off to the castle-like citadel of the Pack, with Antonia's body in tow -- and they're rather surprised that the Pack immediately starts showing great grief and/or resentment about Antonia's death, since they almost drove her out. Betsy isn't too happy about the situation, particularly since the unfriendly werewolves outnumber them by thousands -- and they're all too happy to blame Antonia's death on her.

But Betsy being Betsy, she doesn't intend to take all this unjustified criticism lying down. And to make matters a little weirder, she's lunching with a pregnant crazy woman who claims to be Morgan le Fay's reincarnation, babysitting little alphas, facing down a werewolf council, and wondering what's up with Babyjon. Said infant causes Derik to utterly freak out, and Michael keeps forgetting that he's even there. Very weird.

In the meantime, Marc is left home with Betsy's saintly-yet-demonic sister Laura, who is being stalked by gangs of roving Satanists (no, I am not making this up). Marc tries to help Laura with her ongoing problem... but he unwittingly triggers a change in Laura, showing that there is nothing more evil than an obsessive do-gooder...

I have to give MaryJanice Davidson credit -- not many authors of urban-fantasy would adopt a frothy, slightly ditzy chick-lit approach, and even fewer would use that frothy ditzy approach to handle the subject of death and grief. But she does a pretty good job blending her tongue-in-cheek vampire queen's antics and problems even as she deals with the messy aftermath of Antonia's death.

And though the main story is about the overhanging possibility of a werewolf/vampire war, Davidson keeps some focus on Betsy's oft-comedic antics (fanging out during a playground brawl) and amusing dialogue ("What, are you a superstar pregnant ninja warrior or something"). Even a tense showdown with the devil worshipers has an edge of humor ("I want you athholth out of my houth!").

The problem? Well, quite honestly the subplot about Laura LHM (losing her mind) and GITTPOE (giving in to the forces of evil feels rather clunky when slapped next to the main storyline. It does admittedly lead to a (literally) smashing finale, and some plot threads left hanging for future books.

Betsy's still managed to be a likable vampire queen -- she's kind of flaky and a bit self-absorbed, but she shows plenty of guts (telling off the Pack) and quite a bit of maternal warmth. The supporting characters are also warmly likable, including Betsy's delicious husband Sinclair, her sassy buddy Jessica, and the wide array of werewolves -- from the mellow Michael to the prickly Derek. And Laura has some serious soul-searching to do after this, given how scary she can get.

"Undead and Unwelcome" explores what happens after a werewolf death, and fortunately MaryJanice Davidson writes it like a good souffle -- neither too light nor too heavy. The subplot feels rather tacked on until the climax, but it's still a pleasant light read.
