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. From heartbreaking to hilarious, these stories are top- notch. MY BIG FAT SUPERNATURAL HONEYMOON is simply the best short story collection of the year. I dare you not to have fun.
