MaryJanice Davidson gives readers a trio of
delicious short stories dedicated to three of her most
popular series: Betsy the Vampire Queen, the undersea folks
and the Wyndham Werewolves.
In Undead and Wed: A Honeymoon Story, readers
join the just-married Betsy and Sinclair on their honeymoon
in the place made for the undead, New York City. Eager to
begin her married life in the hotel run by the undead and
get in some shoe shopping on the side, Betsy finds she must
adjust her plans when her best friend, Jessica, and
Jessica's boyfriend, Nick the cop, join them in New York.
When a child is murdered and the culprit is obviously a
vampire, Betsy and Sinclair's dreams of a honeymoon of
bedded bliss turns nightmarish as they hunt for an
unexpected killer.
Survivors introduces readers to Animal World
host Conwin Conlinson, adventure seeker extraordinaire and
current victim of his own press. Finding himself stranded
in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is just what the Con
Con the Survivin' Man (pronounce that "mahn") host
would relish most. Talk about great reality TV!
Unfortunately, Conwin can't swim, has lost sight of his
crew and has started hallucinating. Granted, seeing a
silver coconut isn't the worst hallucination a man could
come up with, but when the coconut turns into a head, and
the head into a mermaid, Con is sure he's at death's door.
Fortunately, Reanestra isn't a hallucination. The shy
mermaid saves Con, hauling him to a deserted island and
using her connections to set up his rescue. Back in
civilization, Con realizes leaving Ree behind was a
mistake. He decides to use all his resources to get his
mermaid back where she belongs -- in his arms, forever.
Finally, in Speed Dating, Werewolf Style,
werewolf Cain is pondering her single state as her 13th
birthday approaches. Most of the pack members her age have
married and started producing cubs. Feeling an unfamiliar,
somewhat unwelcome urge to marry before her birthday, Cain
approaches her lifelong friend Saul to help her search for
a mate. When the werewolf version of speed-dating leaves
her cold, Cain begins to despair of ever finding a mate.
Could what she seeks most have been right under her nose
for years?
DEAD OVER HEELS is a light, fun collection of paranormal
novellas fans will devour with delight. Ms. Davidson's
inimitable style is evident throughout and there are laugh-
out-loud moments in all three. While the Undead series is
my favorite of all time, it was the Wyndham werewolves I
found most entertaining in this collection. The only
complaint I put forth is that all of the stories were far
too short, leaving me wanting more, more, more! Enjoy!
