Queen Betsy and Wyndham Werewolf Series by MaryJanice Davidson

This series was recommended to me by a friend of mine who told me the series was HILARIOUS! Now.. as you can see from the previous books I've read in the Paranormal Genre.. none of them could be considered hilarious or even anywhere near comedy. Sure, some had some funny things happen here and there but not an overall laugh out loud book. I was kind of worried that reading a HILARIOUS! Vampire and Werewolf series would not work out so well and that the books would be bad. I'm glad to report I was wrong.

First off let me say that while the Queen Betsy series and Wyndham Werewolf series are two different book series the reading order suggested by the author (which I will post for you just in case a) you happen to be reading this blog and b) you are interested in reading these books) has you reading them in such an order so that when the two series come together you have a better understanding of what was happening in both series. I would follow the reading order if I was you. I know some others haven't and it didn't make that big of a difference but if you read as many books as I do you make forget some of what happened previously.

I really enjoyed all the books in these series. They both had great characters and great character development. I am really hoping that she continues on with the Wyndham Werewolf series though I haven't seen anything listed.

The Queen Betsy series seems to be the bigger deal out of all her book series (she does have quite a few which I'll go into on another post). It follows Betsy, a secretary, who becomes a Vampire and shortly after her 'rebirth' becomes the Queen of all Vampires. Did I mention that Betsy is a shoeaholic? A stereotypical blonde? She is HILARIOUS! This series mixes humor with love, friendship, murder, police, vampire wars, demon child, devil worshippers... can I go on? Betsy will.. so I'm sure there will be lots more to come!

If you are looking for a light hearted, funny vampire world.. you have found it with the Queen Betsy, Undead series!
