Lamb is a story about the first 30 years of Jesus's life, told by his best friend Biff (aka Levi). It is a beautifully written story that I'm really upset to be finished with. I honestly debated about reading the book again for the second time after just having finished it.

Biff is brought back from the dead to write another gospel, so the book is interlaced mostly with the story of his time and travels with Jesus, but also with his time with an angel in the present. Some of this time with Jesus includes travels towards the east looking for the three wise men who visited Jesus on the day of his birth.

Biff is an incredible character whose voice is hard to erase from your head. And Jesus is of course what should be expected, but add a smart ass best friend who will help bring some lightness to his character.

Let me state that you do not to be Christian or even have a religion in order to read this book, although if you know some of the bible, you'll begin to recognize bits of it towards the end. Of course this story has little to no truth in it, but I think everyone could get something out of it.

I just may become one of those crazy fangirls now ;-)

Book Description from Amazon

Fred is not your ordinary mermaid. She's not blonde. She's not buxom. And she's definitely not perky. In fact, Fred can be downright cranky. And it doesn't help matters that her hair is blue.

While volunteering at the New England Aquarium, Fred learns that there are weird levels of toxins in the local seawater. A gorgeous marine biologist wants her help investigating. So does her merperson ruler, the High Prince of the Black Sea. You'd think it would be easy for a mermaid to get to the bottom of things. Think again.

My Review
This book, although Fred did sound much like Betsy, was fantastic. What can I say, I lurv MJD. She can do no wrong.

Title: Undead and Unappreciated

Author: MaryJanice Davidson

Category: Romance

Her latest in the Undead series, was hilarious as usual, but left me wondering, "where's the story?" It really felt as if it should have been a mini sequel, leading us into the next release (Which I'm impatiently waiting for).

The jist of it though was to introduce a new character into the series, Betsy's devil-spawned sister. A goody goody, who rebels against her mother's plans for her to rule the world.

A wonderful book, but save the money until either paperback or until the next book in the series comes out. Although you probably will not miss much if you skip this book. A bit harsh, considering I absolutely love this author.
