About this ebook
“[A] lighthearted anthology of honeymoon-themed supernatural romance stories” featuring Katie MacAlister, Jim Butcher, Rachel Caine, and others (Publishers Weekly).
What newly married couple doesn’t dream of a romantic retreat where they can escape the world for a while—but what happens when supernatural forces intrude on their wedded bliss?
Nine of today’s hottest paranormal authors answer that question in this all-star collection of supernatural stories. Can a vampire-hunter enjoy her honeymoon when she’s just learned that her new hubby is a werewolf? How can newlyweds focus on their wedding night when their honeymoon suite is haunted by feuding ghosts? And what’s a wizard to do when a gruesome monster kidnaps the bride on her way home from the wedding?
With so much otherworldly mayhem awaiting our newlyweds, will they ever get around to the honeymoon itself? Find out in . . . My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon.
“One standout by a new author is Caitlin Kittredge’s ‘Newlydeads,’ a creepy tale of a coastal town where everything is assuredly not as it seems. Heavy hitters like Butcher and Armstrong will pique readers’ interest, and the overall quality of the stories will introduce them to some unfamiliar, up-and-coming authors.” —Library Journal

I wasn't overly impressed with this collection but I felt a few authors stood out and deserved mentioning, Marjorie M. Liu and Ronda Thompson. Both of these stories are character driven with strong emotional involvement with almost elegant writing styles. I enjoyed their worlds and voices and would gladly read other books by them. As far as the rest of the authors go... meh.
The two stories brought this rating up a star but overall, the collection is nothing special.
