As always, Davidson's Undead series is funny, fast moving, a quick read - a casual romp, that I read in less than 24 hours without even trying. During half of the book, nothing much seems to happen, but yet, so much happens during this one that it's hard to write a book review without a lot of spoilers.

Betsy is her usual selfish self - I think she reaches new heights of selfishness in this one (one reason for the four star rating). She kills her sister's mother (to save her own life) but is so busy thinking of herself, she never truly apologies.

There's a whole long, tortured, constant storyline with Jessica, how's she pregnant but no one knows when she's due & she never seems to go to the doctor or care all that much, which eventually is explained. I can understand Betsy being that wrapped up in herself, but everyone else, including Doctor Zombie Mark? This is sort of explained at the end, but it's explained in such a way that it actually explains nothing.

I miss the characters the way they used to be as well - another reason for the four, and not five, star rating. Sinclair especially is a watered down version of himself. I admit, I never thought he was that great - but I don't like this mellowed, boring version of him, either.

Another thing that's bugging me is Betsy's insistence of not calling Dick by his name, and she "explains" it away by saying that she is doing it to test their friendship. What? Another thing that's "explained" by not explaining anything at all. It's just childish, selfish, stupid, and annoying to the poor reader who has to read over and over - and over again - her whining about how she refuses to call Dick by his name because in the other timeline, he was called Nick and not Dick.
