Where to start?

Ms. Davidson seems like a very nice woman. But she can't write worth a hill of beans. This book had such a great concept behind it, but Davidson's terrible writing spoiled the final product. There was absolutely no plot. After Betsy becomes a vampire the novel degenerates into a series of unrelated vignettes. She basically spends the rest of the novel whining about being vampire queen. The final battle is laughably anti-climactic and emphasized what a waste of time this book was.

I could have dealt with the non-existent plot if the characters had at least been interesting. There is not a single memorable one in this novel. And Betsy herself is so annoying that I found myself hoping that she would get killed. She's supposed to be 30 but she acts and thinks like an very shallow, spoiled and stupid 13-year old girl. It really made me wonder what Sinclair could have possibly seen in her besides a chance to be king.

Though this is the only work I've ever read in the genre, I am certain that there is MUCH better paranormal romance out there.

I've heard that this is the best book in the Undead series. If this is true, I'm not going to bother reading any of the others.
