Don't read all four of the short stories in DEAD AND LOVING IT all at once. Read back-to-back, although a quick read, the stories are all extremely similar--there are even phrases in the stories that have been used, word for word, in the one that came before it.
That said, all four stories deal in some way with werewolves, specifically ones from the Wyndham clan. The stories are short, sexy, and to the point. Although I enjoyed the premise of all of them, the use of the "c" word to...more

I thought I'd read this, but I couldn't remember for sure so I checked it out from the library. I'll admit that I used to like this sort of thing, but I'm finding more and more lately that books with explicit sexual details get on my nerves. I skip it when I find it now-a-days, but unfortunately sometimes I don't skip far enough, or I skim through quotation marks to see if there's anything plot related during the "action." This means that I usually get more of a picture than I really n...more

This is a collection of four short stories, one of which describes events that take place between books 5 and 6 of the Undead Series. The stories are okay, not as good as a typical Undead book.
In this book she brings together her Wyndham werewolves and the vampires of the Undead books. Davidson's werewolf stories are mostly erotica, and the wolves have a bad habit of acquiring their mates by kidnapping and raping them. It's kept light-hearted, but it's still a bit squicky if you think abo...more

This collection of 4 short stories brings together Davidson's Wyndham Werewolves with Queen Betsy's vampires. And sex. Lots of hot, steamy sex.
There were parts I was uncomfortable with - namely the non-con which turned into dub-con in the second story, and seeing George, the feral vampire called a Fiend, fall in love was kind of strange, but cute. So, 4.5 stars. If I hadn't been squicked by the non/dub-con, I would have given it 5 stars.

This is a collection of short stories based on Davidson's Undead characters, but focusing on warewolves rather than vampires this time. The plot is the same in each. Girl meets boy - one is a werewolf, one is a human. They instantaneously fall in love. They have mind blowing, extremely graphic, way-too- much information sex. They get married. The End.
I love the Undead series, but this one got old fast.

This is the first book that I read by MaryJanice Davidson and I picked it up not knowing it was a romance! That was a fun surprise! But that aside, the stories were still good. I hadn't known any of the characters before, so didn't know what I was missing and the stories still made sense. It also got me into the "Betsy" books. Betsy... the Vampire Queen who has a passion for high fashion shoes.

The evolution of love in all but one of these stories seems trite. The only redeeming value is the last one in which we see the Betsy clan from another perspective. Ok not really as all of Mrs. Davidson female characters are essentially all the same ballsy and rude.
Overall the book lacked the fun playful charm of the Betsy books. Though it was nice to know more about George.

This book was a disappointment. It is four different stories and I read it because the last story is a character from the Betsy books. I should have saved my time and skipped it and just continued reading the Betsy books.
The characters in the second story are downright ANNOYING!
Ship this book, what happened here? Here other books are funny, entertaining and good...

Sometimes in our busy worlds/life we need to read a little smut, a little fiction, something that lets loose the daily grind.
MaryJanice Davidson is one of those fantastic authors who spin a world in a book much more different then the one we live in. Her stories are rich, witty, amusing, a much deserved break from the daily slow moving traffic.

Quick read...about 90 minutes to read the whole thing. Four funny and sexy short stories about supernatural singles finding the love of their lives. It had me laughing out loud for several scenes. Gave it a 3 because it was over all too soon and it was superficially written (as in there is no depth or meaning to any of it).

Hated it! It was a bunch of short stories that revloved around one thing and one thing only sex. There was no plot, nothing. It was almost like there wasn't enough of a story so they just added sex scenes fill the pages. I won't be trying Davidson again.

This was a compilation of stories in the world of Davidson's Undead Series. These were enjoyable, easy reads. All in all, worth the time to read if you enjoyed the other books in the series.

I think my favorite of the 3 short stories was "A Fiend in Need". But I've always likes George the Fiend. The other 2 stories were great also because there was werewolves in them. Yum! ;)

A cute series of short stories that end up revolving around each other. Definitly a good beach read, but not the most thought provoking book.
