Okay I admit I am starting to like Sinclair better. I like the undead thing she's got going on and other than the token over detailed sex scene in each book I like this series. ( )

I can't wait to read more, like I said in all my other reviews of this series, it's amazing. It's funny, but still full of action. The characters are perfect and there is always something new happening in the next book. Can't seriously wait to read the next book. ( )

I'd read Undead and Unreturnable, the fourth book in the Queen Betsy series, before. I enjoy Nancy Wu's narration, so I was glad to check out the audio version. Listening to it right after listening to book thirteen, Undead and Unwary, made me see several things in a new light.

This is the book that deals with the Driveway Killer, Betsy bonding with her newborn half-brother, Jon; and introduces semi-regular supporting character Cathie Richardson the smart-mouthed ghost. ( )

Eccoci con il quarto volume della serie Undead/Queen Betsy, chick-lit e paranormal romance, della scrittrice americana MaryJanice Davidson, il cui titolo è Non-morta senza ritorno.
La storia riprenderà da dove è finita nel precedente capitolo, Non-morta e incompresa, quindi vedremo Betsy che cerca di instaurare un rapporto con la sorellastra Laura, figlia del Diavolo, di cui ha conosciuto l’esistenza solo da poco.

Inoltre c’è un matrimonio da organizzare, uno sposo poco interessato al lato “umano” del rito nuziale da celebrare, l’infinita serie di fantasmi in cerca di vendetta (ovviamente per niente interessati agli impegni della giovane Regina) di cui Betsy non riuscirà a liberarsi, ma dovrà assecondarli.

In contemporanea, un serial killer in città sembra sia attratto da donne con la stessa fisionomia della protagonista, e che quindi si ritroverà pericolosamente vicina a un crollo nervoso. Sia però benedetto lo shopping! Da brava shopaholic, per la nostra protagonista ogni scusa è buona per evadere in un bel po’ di acquisti.

La nostra Regina, tra i mille impegni (fare da babysitter al piccolo fratellastro, avere a che fare con un fidanzato dal temperamento incostante e una nuova rubrica di consigli vampireschi da seguire), si ritroverĂ  spinta qua e lĂ  nel frustrato tentativo di conseguire anche ai suoi obblighi di regina, per quanto non desiderati.

Lato negativo purtroppo di questo quarto libro è la mancata ironia e leggerezza dei libri precedenti, la trama è, aihmè, inconsistente e non facilità il lettore ad avere il giusto interesse per questo capitolo.

I personaggi, come nelle classiche chick-lit, risultano sempre uguali, ovvero troviamo una protagonista bizzarra, il bello, l’amica ricca ma spiritosa, il gay, tutto quindi un po’ troppo limitato ai classici stereotipi di questo genere. Mi sarebbe piaciuta un po’ di novità che né la sorellastra di Betsy né i fantasmi riescono a dare, forse a causa del poco spazio a loro riservato.
La storia – più breve rispetto ai libri precedenti – scorre velocemente, senza lasciare però alcun segno, probabilmente per la mancanza di quel qualcosa che permette ad ogni lettore di avere un’impronta su di sé della storia che legge. Oserei quasi dire che lascia completamente disinteressati.

Lo stile è lineare e, anche se a tratti risulta beffardo e sopra le righe, appare tutto sommato rigido, immobile, non riuscendo ad andare oltre il semplice divertimento.
Concludendo, quest’ultimo libro non aggiunge nulla alla serie, rendendo ingiustificato, e persino sprecato, il prezzo del libro stesso. Speriamo in un miglioramento sui prossimi capitoli. ( )

4th in the Queen Betsy series. This one takes place at Christmas time and Betsy is planning her wedding to Sinclair. The plot on this one kind of goes everywhere. One of the big plot points is a serial killer. Betsy is "visited" by one of his victims and they find the killer This also has where Jessica starts dating Detective Nick. George the fiend starts to become more human and more crocheting. Betsy's sister Laura seems to be turning to the dark side, she wails on George and she also end up killing the killer because he makes her mad. Just basic fluff but fun to read. ( )
