I hope you all like this one. I created it on the fly. I wanted to do something fun and different. Let me know if I need to clarify how to do something. I literally tossed this one together because I couldn't decide what to do. Thanks for inspiring this one Sara. :)
Lisarenee this one IS AWESOME!!!! Sara's idea was so fun to read that I *have* to create a story for that. Not sure if the books I have planed for this month will mix and match... but I will try.
*Goes in search of wicked ways to punish Adam and Curran*
How ironic... Kate Daniels is one of my favorite series and I am currently reading the Mercy Thompson series so this challenge fits in perfect. Love it!I'm in. I will post my books later.

I love it!Let's give it a shot:
On her way to the annual Coven meeting, Rachel Morgan made a quick stop in Chicago. Travelling down Sparrow Hill Road, Rachel met a tall wizard by the name of Harry Dresden. After hours of playing the Skin Game, the duo were interrupted during breakfast by Harry's brother. Thomas promptly told Rachel that when Murphy found out she was a "Dead Witch Walking!"
Rachel & Harry - The world would never be the same (assuming it survived).
Harry&Rachel? Murphy would kick Rachel till kingdom come... Or Ivy would drink Harry dry... I love it, Sara!!!!

Option Three
The Bitches of Brooklyn were upset with Adam & Curran. Their actions (or lack of) awoke their inner witch so a set of magical Runes was used and The Forever Song was heard. A wife swap was in order! Theirs were far from Noble Intentions they just wanted to see something Catching Fire!
The spell was a powerful one made to work When All the World Sleeps
Adam saw the cloud around Mercy and forgetting she was a coyote and magic resistant hold her tight begging her: "Don't go! Please Believe in us!"
Curran, as a First felt the waves of magic and screamed: "Kate, don't leave! Don't ever leave me!"
"If I Stay" Kate's voice was shaking "No more keeping me in the dark."
"I promise" Curran whispered. And gave her The Immortal Crown.
But the magical Tangled Threads were still at work: Cindy was Pushing the Limits and Lorelei was Proven Guilty, so they both were forever Spell Bound to some nasty Hostile Ground.

I still need to read Ruins too. I got it when it came out and my daughter stole it and haven't seen it since. I need to inquire about that. Thanks for the reminder.
I'm loving these stories, well done ladies! And go, go, go Sonia. 14 books is a mighty effort!!
And yep, I assumed Jane Yellowrock from Skinwalker fame :)
Thanks Sandra. Yes, 14 books will be pushing it... we'll see how it goes.

This challenge was inspired by Sara who wanted to do a wife swap Kate of the Kate Daniels series with Mercy from the Mercedes Thompson series after reading Night Broken by Patricia Briggs.
How this challenge works
Select either two characters to match up or two couples to swap mates/spouses from literature.
Option One - If you select two characters, you'll simply pair them up either by reading two different books each of which has one of the characters in it, doing a spell-it-out challenge using their names or finding books with characters which share a name with your intended characters (first, last, nickname).
Option Two - If you select a couple to do a supernatural (or other) spouse/mate swap you'll simply pair the couples up either by reading books the different couples are in, doing a spell-it-out challenge using their names or finding books with characters which share a name with your intended characters (first, last, nickname).
Option Three - Create-A-Story around the couple your doing a swap with or the pair you're looking to set up. You can use a combination of titles and cover pictures to create your story.
Examples of a Spell-It-Out:
You may use:
- the first letter in the Author's (first, last, or nickname)
- the first letter in a character's (first, last, or nickname)
- the first letter of the first word in the title. If the first word is A, An, The, etc, then feel free to use the first letter of the second word in the title.
Kate/Mercy Wife Swap example:
K - Kenyon, Sherrilyn author of Illusion
A - Aiken, G.A.; author of Dragon Actually
T - Toxic Heart by Theo Lawrence
E - Edward; a character in Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
M - The Masterful Mr. Montague by Stephanie Laurens
E - Estep, Jennifer; Author of Spider's Bite
R - Rachel Caine; author of Ghost Town
C - City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
Y - Yesterday by Fern Michaels
Example of a Create-A-Story:
Simulated match up of Ian (from Night Huntress) with Simi (from Dark Hunters)
One Silent Night two very different people encountered one another in The Way of Shadows. He'd come seeking Sweet Revenge while she'd come looking for a bottle of her favorite BBQ sauce.
He took in her goth type outfit and asked, "What are you doing out and about, Love?" and flashed her a sparkly half crooked wicked grin. "Don't you know there are things that Bite in the night?"
Mesmorized by his shiney sparkly teeth she said, "The Simi knows all about biting." Giving him a lopsided grin. "I searching for A Quick Bite myself."
Wondering if the seemingly Sweet Girl knew what she was playing with he inquired, "And what exactly would a quick bite include?" Thinking the girl was Flirting With Danger, he took a step closer And Then He Kissed Her.
She immediately took her bottle of BBQ sauce and hit him over the head. As he fell to the ground he thought he heard her say, "What a Waste. Akri and his stupid rules. Now What to Eat?"
