In Stalked by Kelley Armstrong, author of the
Women of the Otherworld series, werewolf couple Clay and
Elena take a long-overdue honeymoon. It's not long before a
young werewolf starts to dog Elena's footsteps, leaving
Clay pondering the best course of action. Although he'd
rather not spill blood on his honeymoon and incur
the "wrath of Elena," he's not one to back down from a
challenge.
When a monster in need of a virgin kidnaps a new bride and
steals a keg of mead, wizard Harry Dresden and his wonder
dog, Mouse, lend a hand in Heorot by Jim
Butcher. Braving the monsters of Chicago's Undertown,
Harry, Mouse and Gard, a woman of almost mythic power, aim
to rescue the bride before the monster manages to drink the
mead, rape the virgin and curse the world with its demonic
spawn.
It's mutiny aboard ship following the wedding of Cecilia
and pirate captain Liam. The once-cursed scurvy crew are
sick to death of this modern-age and decide Cecilia is the
one to blame. They're all for putting the witch over the
side and sailing back to the open sea in Rachel
Caine's Roman Holiday or Spq-arrrrrr.
Cecilia calms down the men, but stormy seas are still ahead
for Cecilia and her brawny captain.
P.N. Elrod takes us back to Chicago in Her
Mother's Daughter. It's 1938 and Vampire P.I. Jack
Fleming takes a case involving a mobster's daughter and a
disappearing husband. All Jack has to do is find the guy.
The bride will take care of breaking the scoundrel's
kneecaps herself.
Petunia (Pete) and Jack check in to the Honeymoon Suite of
the Paradise Palace Casino & Resort in hopes of a holiday
where they can get "away from it all." Instead they end up
in Hotel Hell where newlyweds are vanishing at an alarming
rate. Caitlin Kittredge is author of the very
British Newlydeads.
Where the Heat Lives by Marjorie M. Liu is a
poignant story about new love, love denied and love stolen
away. Set in the Dirk & Steele universe five decades after
the end of the Civil War, the story revolves around Lucy,
an ordinary girl, sent away by her family to work as a maid
for a peculiar family living on an isolated tract of land
bordered by a haunted wood and a cemetery.
Next up is Cat Got Your Tongue? by Katie
MacAlister. Always good for a giggle, MacAlister sets
her tale in modern-day at Fyfe Castle, located in Scotland.
Raphael and Joy are snuggling in for their honeymoon when a
trio of quarrelsome ghosts interrupts their holiday.
Best known for her Dante Valentine books, Lilith
Saintcrow's Half of Being Married
features a vampire-slaying bride and her werewolf groom;
each unaware of the other's secret identity until the
honeymoon. There may be time for all kinds of
recriminations later, but right now the couple needs to get
down to business. When a nest of bloodsuckers ruins their
honeymoon plans, the feisty couple gets cranky. And then
they get even.
The final story in the collection is A Wulf in
Groom's Clothing by Rhonda Thompson. Laura and Sam
take off for an isolated cabin in the woods on their
honeymoon. Laura assured Sam during their courtship that
she loves the outdoors, but now that she's actually out in
the woods, she's worried that Sam will find out the truth
and be angry at her little white lie. She really doesn't
have anything to worry about. Sam has already figured that
out. Anyway, he has something much, much bigger that he's
hiding.
