false 30268 4 She thought her date was out of this world. Actually, he was not of this world . . . We've all been on bad dates, nightmare dates, dreadful experiences that turned out to be uniquely memorable in the very worst way. But at least our partners for these detestable evenings were more or less . . . <i>human</i>! Now Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong, and Lori Handeland&mdash;four of the very best writers currently exploring the dangerous seduction of the supernatural&mdash;offer up dating disasters (and unexpected delights) of a completely different sort: dark, wicked, paranormally sensual assignations with werewolves, demon lovers, and the romantically challenged undead. Sexy, witty, chilling, and altogether remarkable, here is proof positive that some love matches are made someplace other than heaven.

I bought this book for the Kim Harrison story, _Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil_. If you're being a Kim Harrison complete-ist, then go for it - but mostly the story didn't do much for me.

First story, by Kim Harrison, I found unreadable. Got through two chapters and gave up.

Second, by Lindsay Sands, bland but mostly inoffensive.

Chaotic, the reason I tracked the book down, was prett...more...]]> 2 2 false false Mon Sep 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 11:00:51 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 10:02:28 -0700 2009
