Undead and Unstable- ♥♥♥

This book made me nervous since the last one was such a train wreck. Finding Zombie Marc was interesting, and figuring out what he was all about was even more so. I like that his personality is all still there. I don’t like that he can rot at any time if he doesn’t keep busy.

Jess isn’t as big of a player here. I really don’t like pregnant Jess very much though. Her attitude and the whining grate on me. I know that’s a little weird since Betsy’s doesn’t bother much, but I don’t know… Maybe just because she has always been that way and Jess hasn’t.

On the topic of Jess… Nick (sorry refuse to accept the change in names), got on my nerves a lot here. I am glad that him and Jess are happy. I am glad he doesn’t hate Betsy. This book though… the temper he starts throwing around… Yea, it bothers me. When he lost his mind because Antonia wolfed out and jumped through the window I wanted to smack him pretty good. They live in a house with vampires, zombies, ghosts, and werewolves… He can’t expect life to be anything near normal. He just can’t. He either needs to go back to being ok with all the crazy, or he needs to get the fuck out. There really isn’t an in between, and since Jess isn’t going to leave, he just needs to suck it up. His fake arrest was just as bad. I get why he did it, but still. The whole thing was dumb.

Tina was also pretty scarce in this book. I like her, but it feels weird when she isn’t around all the time. Sinclair was… off here. He avoided Betsy a lot, and I didn’t like that much. I get the shock he received, but Betsy is trying to fix the future. While I know now that he was off researching, it would have been nice for Betsy to know that too.

Laura… oh Laura… I like her less and less the longer this goes on. Everyone else around Vamp Manor seems to see their flaws and acknowledge them. She never really does. The self-righteousness drives me up a wall. I just can’t get myself to like her, and keeping liking her. After the confrontation in hell… It seems like I am going to like her less and less as time goes on.

Aaaand that brings me to hell. When Betsy was talking to Satan I could see the fight coming, I didn’t expect the ending. I thought she might want to die, and I thought Betsy would want to kill her… Somehow she used hellfire. That I didn’t see coming. I also didn’t know what to make of the wish. I thought it might be something relatively throwaway. Future Betsy helping keep Laura away seemed to only make Laura even more pissed. Her parting words most likely mean there will be another rather big showdown. I don’t think Laura really understood how tired her mother was. While it looks like the future has been fixed, it will be interesting to find out for sure.

When Betsy gets back it didn’t even click that it was daylight. Her wish being to give Sinclair the sun… I almost teared up! That was the moment I realized how far Betsy had come. That wish made me love her even more. I am actually looking forward to the next installment now. After Undermined I wasn’t so much looking forward to this one, now I feel like the series has hope again!
