Customer Reviews

cute, easy to read

I enjoyed the short stories in this book. It helps to see if I like the way the authors write to see if I want to purchase their other books. Katie MacAlister has better books out there than this story, though.

Grrrrr.......brains..... mints..... and the Undead

My Zombie Valentine was a paranormal romance anthology dealing some awesome authors. Angie Fox starts out the first story, and I have to say it's one of my favorites. The heroine is a voodoo love practitioner who ends up casting a love spell that brings her Mr. Right... Mr. Undead that is. Katie MacAlister's was my least favorite it dealt with her Dark Ones. Personally I felt as if Christian deserved his own novel. Especially with the pain that the Betrayer brought upon him. I also though it was unfair to the readers and the heroine, Ysabelle, that her story was so short. I mean we find out in two sentences that she's an alchemist and her dad was pretty big. They should have gotten their own novel. The third by Marianne Mancusi was also hilarious involving make up, real zombies, a low budget movie, and an actor that the heroine has been crushing on since she was 12. Really cute and fast paced. The fourth was by Lisa Cach and had a really interesting premise. A plastic surgeon would inject, for free, Phi-Tox. Pretty soon LA women everywhere (think skinny plastic Barbie dolls with implants) are running amok craving sugar and fat. The hero is also very cute and a surfer dude. I bought this on my Kindle and loved it. It was one of the better anthologies I have read. It was light hearted, paranormal, with each author giving her own twist to `Zombies'.

four lighthearted paranormal romances

"Gentlemen Prefer Voodoo" by Angie Fox. Voodoo practitioner Amie Baptiste concocts a love spell to bring her soulmate to her. However she would ask for her money back if some other voodoo queen sent whom the magic brought forth to her. "Bring Out Your Dead" by Katie MacAlister. Zombie life coach and English instructor to the undead Ysabelle Raleigh meets Sebastian, a vampire who claims she is his long lost beloved. She scoffs at his insistence though she thinks he is kind of cute. He must persuade her that he is serious and not just handing out a line for a quick bite in between battling despondent zombies and a teenage vampire. This entry was published as part of the Just One Sip anthology. "Zombiewood Confidential" by Marianne Mancusi. Unaware that art imitates life even in horror movies; makeup artist Scarlett Patterson accepts a job on a B horror flick in order to work with actor Mason Marks. She quickly learns real life contains its share of horror. "Every Part of You" by Lisa Cach. Angelica Sequiera visits the plastic surgeon for a minor fix but ends up on a date with Tom Haggerty. These four lighthearted paranormal romances are fun fantasies starring heroines who are unsure whether to run from or towards their beloved. Harriet Klausner
