Customer Reviews

a great romantic comedy

Though the first few pages are little boring I really liked the book. Granted Webber makes many puns (it get a little tiresome) I really liked the story as a whole. If you do buy the book and at first you are regretting your decision I encourage you to continue reading it because the story gets better! Enjoy!

4 stars

When a rival Paranormal Busting company starts playing dirty, Samantha (Sam) Hammett does not take it lying down. Upon hearing that the local vampire prince, Petroff, is infested with not one, but three pesky spooks, she goes to his castle to usurp the job from her rivals, the Strakov brothers. Convincing the ghosts of an intoxicated chef, a soup-can painter, and a mad monk to get lost is a snap compared to resisting the handsome prince, but Sam does not want to end up dead, or undead, as the case may be. However, when she finds out Petroff's connection to her rivals, something is going to hit the fan. **** Ms. Webber has demonstrated her ability to make us laugh in a historical setting, now, in a contemporary story, she continues to earn her place on the must buy list. The humor is sharp, snappy, and requires you to think a little to get all the puns and in-jokes. Solving a mystery and witnessing a romance are bonuses. **** Amanda Killgore

fun lighthearted romantic fantasy

Samantha "Sam" Hammett is one of the best paranormalbusters in the world perhaps because it is in her blood as her family runs the Paranormal Pest Pursuers, Inc., established by her great-grandfather over eight decades ago. Everyone knows who you gonna call when it comes to catching, communicating or moving supernatural beings on the loose, as no firm can compete with Triple P while Sam is one of their top guns, an elite amongst the elite. However she runs into overseas rivals seeking entry into the American market. The Russian based Monsters 'R Us headed by Nicolas Strakhov, who apparently sanctions sabotage by his workers as Sam knows first hand. As the two companies heat up the supernatural catch and snatch competition, Sam and Nicolas begin to fall in love. However, rivalry, love, sabotage and other ilk need to remain on hold, as a gellog of vampires are outraged when someone murders one of them. Once again Minda Webber, as she has done with Frankenstein and Van Helsing, provides reader with a fun lighthearted romantic fantasy. Readers will believe in vampires, gargoyles, poltergeists, and several other supernatural species, but the tale belongs to the rival firms represented by the dynamic lead couple. Though "here's looking at you" saluting Bogie can turn irritating as it is overdone, sub-genre fans will enjoy BUSTIN' the supernatural with Sam and Nicolas. Harriet Klausner
