Bring Out Your Dead

From a Moravian Dark One who must take on an angst-ridden teenage vampire to win the love of his soulmate, to a sunbathing vampire who finds the woman of his dreams in Vegas, a collection of paranormal romances celebrates the lives and loves of the immortal undead. Viva Las Vampires by Jennifer Ashley The appropriately named Meredith Black just wants to visit Vegas to do some research for her second non-fiction book on the history and myth of vampires. She is staying at the ultra popular hotel Transylvania Castle to hopefully get an interview with the owner, Stefan Erickson. Little does she know that she will be getting more than an interview from Stefan, a master vampire who has found his chosen blood slave in Meredith. An enemy vampire who also owns another vampire style hotel and casino, though, is out to put a snag in Stefan's plans for Meredith. If Meredith doesn’t choose to stay with Stefan and be his primary source of blood, he will die. Bring Out Your Dead by Katie Macalister Ysabelle is a Zombie counselor by day and an English history tutor by night. This sarcastic woman, who has a very very long and mysterious background, sets out on a dark London evening to find the home of her new pupil. She is saved from a stampede of imps when she runs into a handsome man who helps her get away. After a run in with a demon, she makes it to her pupil's house where everything continues to go down hill. She finds herself the temporary guardian of her devilish pupil, while her mysterious man, Sebastian, reappears at the door with a vendetta against her pupil's parents. A group of radical, hippie-like Zombies come by for some added counseling, and her demon friend from earlier in the night decides to blow up the house. Her saving grace is Sebastian: a Dark One (pseudo vampire) who convinces her that she is his Beloved, a soul mate type who can restore his soul while he protects her. Through the slapstick humor and sarcasm, the motley group takes on demons and demon lords in order to protect Ysabelle. Lucy and the Crypt Casanova by Minda Webber In a world where monsters have come out of the closet and into the main stream world, Lucy Campbell hosts a Jerry Springer-esque talk show with the trashiest of monsters. She's small town Texas girl who took the one shot given to her to gain a name in television. After being cheated on by her vampire boyfriend four years ago, she has struggled to find her niche in life. Val, said cheating vampire ex, is a top detective in New Orleans where Lucy also resides. The two are thrown together a few times when both are hunting an evil incubus who is turning young women into old ladies by draining their life force. Lucy wants the cred it would bring her in the journalism world and Val is the detective on the case. Lucy, who is more than a little clumsy, saves Val's partner from the incubus. Val is not appreciative. He’s still hurt because Lucy couldn’t trust him enough four years ago to hear his explanation of the compromising position in which she found him. In "Viva," journalist Meredith pursues an interview with sexy Vegas hotelier Stefan, owner of Transylvania Castle hotel. Little does she know he's a real vampire. "Lucy," cruises on the irascible charm of lead Lucy, a klutzy TV talk-show hostess who's forced to team up with her no-good ex, a sexy vampire detective, for the sake of a hot story. "Bring," a story that unites an undead life coach for zombies, Ysabelle, with an anxious vampire who takes her for his long lost "Beloved." From a Moravian Dark One to a sunbathing vamp in Vegas to a New Orleans Supernatural Task Force, three of the hottest authors in the paranormal genre deliver loads of laughs in this side-splitting anthology.
