If you think you have stories to tell about your
honeymoon, you should read MY BIG FAT SUPERNATURAL
HONEYMOON! Within the pages of this big fat paranormal
anthology, you'll find disappearing brides and grooms,
vampire detectives, werewolves, a Valkyrie, big scary
monsters, ghosts, fairies, and many other things that go
bump in the night!
Here's a sampling of three of this reviewers favorites:
Jim Butcher's "Heorot" has Harry Dresden, Chicago's only
professional wizard, summoned by the terse-speaking Mac,
owner of the pub frequented by Chicago's supernatural
community. Only Mac's at another pub, one by Wrigley
Field, and Harry must find a missing bride aided by his
dog Mouse who 'outweighs most European cars,' and Miss
Gard, supernatural security consultant for Marcone the
mobster. Together they hunt for the missing bride--who's
been taken by a Grendelkin--who has mating on his mind.
Just who is Miss Gard and how come she knows so much
about the Grendelkin?
Rachel Caine's Cecilia Lockhart found her heart's desire
in the undead pirate captain in MY BIG FAT SUPERNATURAL
WEDDING and broke his curse. Now, as Cecilia and her
groom Capt. Liam Lockhart get ready for the reception
on-board Liam's ship Sweet Mourning, they must confront
an angry de-cursed crew ready to mutiny. Just as things
calm down and Cecilia and her captain get down to some
nautical naughty in his cabin, another cursed ship and
its Roman, armor-clad captain carry her off into
captivity to sell her to the highest bidder. Liam must
tread carefully now that he's human and up against the
undead...It's up to him, a newly human, honor-bound
pirate husband to rescue her so they can get on with the
honeymoon...
What do you do when the woman you've married turns out
to be something more than you bargained for? Nothing,
because you're not what she thinks you are, either...in
Lilith Saintcrow's "Half of Being Married," honeymooning
couple Kat and Mitch Black get to know each other in
unexpected ways when Kat turns out to be a vampire
hunter facing her first sucker kill, Mitch turns into a
Sunrunner--a werewolf to save her. The honeymoon really
heats up when it turns out that the small Virginia town
where their Bed and Breakfast is located houses a
monstrously large sucker nest and a practicing
sorceress...and Kat won't let sleeping suckers lie...
Your cup will runneth over with MY BIG FAT SUPERNATURAL
HONEYMOON as it's chocked full of top-notched paranormal
romance reading! Now's the time to sample that writer
you haven't read yet--but be forewarned! You'll be
