I would have been disappointed in the lack of over the top MJD humor we're used to seeing, if I hadn't read where she wrote that this book will be the turning point in the series where it starts to take on a more serious note. Fine, I can deal with that... sometimes the stupid jokes got old in the previous stories anyway. But here is where I am really getting sick of the Undead series. This books is SO FREAKING SHORT!! Less than 300 pages, and for $23?!?!?! Are you kidding me MJD? How can you let your publisher, or whoever makes these decisions, do something so incredibly stupid if you want to keep your readers happy. Well, then again she probably doesn't care - because that's just more money in her pocket.But this one really was the stopping point for me - I'm tired of the crappy storyline, and the horrible way she's just shoving all these random "plotlines" in the story... plotlines that never go anywhere (like the ghost of "the Ant")... the way Sinclair's dark, dangerous character has become such a sissy... the fact that Betsy is supposed to be a mother now and the baby isn't even IN the story, which I thought was supposed to be a major point now... the way a chapter can only be ONE PAGE LONG when you take in to account the large margins and print... ok you get my point. I won't buy another MJD book, I'll just wait for them to show up at the local library or read them at the bookstore since it only took a couple of hours anyway.
