![]() ![]() Going from a shallow 20-something to a fully grown-up queen. This is a long series, and I do hope that Davidson will see fit to give us a good character arc for Betsy. Maybe it’s that she didn’t ask to be queen of the vampires and yet still manages to rise to the occasion when needed that makes her bearable. Yet for some reason I can’t help rooting for her. She is everything I loathe in *coughs* certain women: shallow, conceited, wears too much make-up, obsessed with shoes, self-centered. The one thing that baffles me is that I truly hate Queen Betsy. Great literature it ain’t, but I’ve definitely read far worse paranormal romance in my time, plus Davidson always manages to get at least a few chuckles out of me. Light, short, set in a cool climate, and one guaranteed hot sex scene per book. If somebody asked me to hand them the quintessential chick lit summer beach read, I’d toss the Queen Betsy series at them. But when vamps start popping up dead a second time, her duty calls whether she wants to listen or not. She is focused on more important things, like her new job selling designers shoes at Macy’s. Or mated to the horribly tricky Sinclair. Betsy may have dealt with the fact that she’s an undead blood-sucker, but she certainly is not ready to deal with the idea of being queen of the vampires for 1,000 years. ![]()
