"the biting humor and outlandish wit that we all love"
In book 6 of Davidson's highly acclaimed Undead series, we
find ourselves preparing for Betsy's big day! You know
the one. The one that she's been preparing for since
seventh grade? Our fair Betsy has finally managed to get
her scrumptious vampire king and consort, Eric "Sink Lair"
Sinclair to propose and give her the proper wedding that
she's always dreamed of. The only problem is...Eric has
gone missing only weeks before the big day. And,
unfortunately, it's not only Eric. Her friends and family
are MIA, as well. At first, she chalks up her groom's
disappearance to the spat they had (again) or maybe it
could be that he just has cold feet. And as for her
friends and family, well, just how insensitive can they
be? Abandoning her in her most precious time of need. I
mean, really, who's going to help her pick out that uber-
fabulous wedding gown that she's always dreamed of? And
lest we forget about the shoes! What's a vamp bride to
do? It isn't until things start getting really weird that
Betsy finally realizes that something is amiss in her
perfect world - like the local werewolf pack arriving
unannounced at her front door looking for their missing
packmate. When things finally start adding up, Betsy
decides to do a little investigating of her own. It
appears that there are nefarious forces at work trying to
bring Betsy down -- again. I've got to say that I absolutely loved this latest
addition to the Undead series! Not only does it have the
biting humor and outlandish wit that we all love and have
come to expect from MJ, but it also gives the series a
kick in the patootie, as well. For so long, well, since
her turning really, we've seen Betsy flounder around in
her new vampire world, resisting and fighting the changes
in her "life" and ignoring her new role as Queen of the
Undead. But no more. This appears to be a pivotal
turning point not only in the series, but also with Betsy
as well. It also seems to have a slightly more serious
tone than prior Undead books. Davidson completely shines
in this book and shows us why her legions of fans keep
coming back for more.

Seriously.In the days leading up the The Big Day, Vampire Queen Betsy Taylor seems to have a full house - and the wedding guests have yet to arrive. Along with her human buddies, there's a ghost, a werewolf, and a Fiend crashing at her place.

Betsy knows the next few weeks won't be smooth sailing - but she never expects just what's in store for her. Cold feet are no surprise, especially with an undead groom.
