What happens when "the happiest day of your life" turns into a nightmare?

About the Author

Jeaniene Frost is the New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of the Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress World novels. To date, foreign rights for her novels have sold to nineteen different countries. Jeaniene lives in North Carolina with her husband Matthew, who long ago accepted that she rarely cooks and always sleeps in on the weekends. Aside from writing, Jeaniene enjoys reading, poetry, watching movies with her husband, exploring old cemeteries, spelunking and traveling—by car. Airplanes, children, and cookbooks frighten her.



A Southern girl with an overactive imagination, RITA® and PRISM Award winner Terri Garey lives in Florida, where anything weird is considered normal. A former computer analyst, she left the dry world of logic behind in order to write novels filled with fantasy, romance, and happily-ever-afters.



My husband says I have the best job in the world. The only thing that could top being paid to do what I love is if Avon Books decided that all their authors had to be hand-fed chocolate by Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, or John Cusack. But my husband probably wouldn't think so much of my job then, so instead I'll let him feed me chocolate and go on being forever thankful that I have the best job—and husband—in the world.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I’m Maggie Shayne.

    I was born a storyteller, and I will cross to the other side a storyteller, and when I get there, I’ll haunt some young writer who’s still on earth by whispering my stories into her ears, because I’ll still be a storyteller. I think that’s what our muses are. Storytellers gone by. I am so incredibly blessed, because I got a really good one. I love her.

    My stories are Paranormal Romances like my groundbreaking Wings in the Night vampire romance series, (the original “Twilight” vampire novels) and my wildly popular Fatal Series, (rom-com ghost mysteries with a Scooby gang you’ll want to join.) I’ve also penned two epic witch series, The Immortals and The Portal trilogy, along with fantasy romance quartet By Magic

    My stories are also small town contemporary romances all about family, loyalty and love, like The Texas Brand Series, The Oklahoma Brands, and The McIntyre Men.

    I have spun Romantic Thrillers like my career-best Brown & de Luca series, The Mordecai Young Series, The Secrets of Shadow Falls, Shattered Sisters.

    All info about my books and my CoffeeHouse blog are at MaggieShayne.com

    I also write spiritual self-help books. I blog and teach about natural magic, the law of attraction. I offer personal readings, and I have a little magic shop. You can find all of that at BlissBlog.org

    I love who I am, what I do, and everything about my life. I especially love my readers, because, let’s face it, storytelling would be pretty pointless without them. You. I love knowing you as much as possible, via email, Facebook, Twitter, my newsletter and my blogs.

    So pick a story, any story, and then curl up in a comfy chair, and wrap your softest blanket around your shoulders. Fill your favorite mug with your favorite warm beverage and fall into my worlds for a little while. I think you’re gonna like it here.

    Blissfully,

    Maggie Shayne,

    Storyteller

    A Southern girl with an overactive imagination, Terri Garey writes award-winning and critically-acclaimed urban fantasy. Her novels have been described as "smoldering" by Publishers Weekly, and "sultry and upbeat" by Library Journal. Even though she's a big scaredy-cat who can't watch horror movies or visit haunted houses, she loves moonlit graveyards, moss-covered headstones and the idea that life goes on even after it's over. You can visit her on the web, friend her on Facebook and occasionally find her on Twitter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four Great Tales!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2008

What a great anthology. Most anthologies have a few great stories and a few that just come up short; either important details are skipped or missing, the story line just falls flat, or it feels rushed. Maggie Shayne, Jeaniene Frost, Terri Garey, and Kathryn Smith actually deliver four very unique and incredible tales.

I have never read anything by Maggie Shayne or Terri Garey, but after Weddings from Hell, I intend to!

Jeaniene Frost and Kathryn Smith are two of my favorite series writers. They both do an excellent job by creating a new story line and characters never before seen in their series. And yes, for their die hard series fans, they even sneak a few of our favorite characters in for a scene or two. There is not a lot of focus on them but just enough to make you grin.

3 of the 4 were good stories, well told in the short story format and has complex characters and plot. They were fun to read, not totally predictable and kept me wondering where the author would take us with the tale. The last was okay.

Although I usually love these authors this is not really an outstanding anthology. The stories are bland and the first one by Maggie Shayne did not set a very warm example. It is readable if you have nothing else.

Maggie Shayne gives us a curse, placed by an ancestor whose husband was caught with a maid. It was mildly interesting, as soon as she met the lawyer, you knew they would get togather. There was no mystery but there is a twist when the curse is lifted. A so-so story.

Jeaniene Frost gives us a woman forced to marry a mobster to save her brother. However, her grandma calls in a favor from an old love who is undead.

Terri Garey gives us a short Nicky Styx story. It was OK. Nicky winds up a bride's maid for her cousin. The missing bridesmaid turns up as a ghost and talks to Nicky.

Kathryn Smith gives us a story about a Vampire created by the Templars. The woman he loves, and has been trying to forget is getting married.

Each story is OK but none are great.

The stories ended too soon. I have read Ms Frost’s series on the vampire Bones last year, so it was fun to see him again. The other authors were new to me, but very enjoyable.

There are several short stories in this book for various authors. If you like vampires, werewolves, and other paranormal things, you will love this book. It also gives you a chance to find a new author if you are looking for one. Several of these authors have series of their own.

A nice collection of paranormal romances. For me, the stories ranged from 3-4 stars each. The graphic sex scenes (not many) I can do without, as I feel it never adds anything to the plot. I just skip over those and continue reading. My pick out of this collection was "Ghouls Night Out" by Terri Garey. Definately a collection to read if you are searching for new authors to follow.

I actually read this last year and I am rereading now that I bought it. Of course, Jeaneine Frost has a good story. It's nice for a laugh. The other stories are not bad and I will be rereading them too. I am going to be looking up more books from Maggie Shayne, Terri Garey, and Kathryn Smith.

Once I am done reading it again to refresh my memory, then I might even have to give it more stars.

Das Buch besteht aus vier Kurzromanen/längeren Geschichten.
Ich kannte sowohl Terri Garey als auch Jeanine Frost, deswegen kaufte ich mir die Sammlung und beide enttäuschten mich nicht, diese beiden Kurzgeschichten sind definitiv das Higlight dieser Sammlung. Allerdings mochte ich sowohl Maggie Shaynes Geschichte als auch die Geschichte von Kathryn Smith, "The wedding knight". Warum meine Vorrednerinnen damit ein Problem haben, weiss ich auch nicht, die Anthologie heisst "Weddings from hell", Smith hat sowohl das "Wedding theme" eingebracht als auch das paranormale Element (der knight ist ein Vampir).... Ich finde das etwas unfair, die Geschichte deswegen schlechter zu bewerten, nur weil die anderen Autorinnen etwas anderes gemacht haben. Insgesamt ist es eine schöne Sammlung für zwischendurch, und einen Kauf definitiv wert, auch wenn vielleicht ein einmaliges lesen reicht.
Kurzer Überblick über die Geschichten:
Maggie Shaynes geschichte über eine verfluchte junge Frau(Abkömmling einer Hexe), enttäuschte Liebe und eine beginnende Beziehung spielt mit dem Ehethema eher als mit der Hochzeit an sich. Eine eigentlich schöne Geschichte, aber die Auflösung war etwas schwach/unbefriedigend (mir gings einfach etwas zu glatt und schnell). Also dafür 4/5 Sterne.
Jeanine frost: die Kurzgeschichte gibts auch separat für den Kindle runterzuladen."Happily never after". 5/5. Ich mag Jeanine Frosts Schreibstil einfach und ich mochte Chance und Isa sofort. Bones aus ihrer Erfolgsreihe hat einen Miniauftritt, den hätte es aber nicht gebraucht.Chance, der Vampir, rettet Isa, und findet seine Frau... Naja, ich muss zugeben, bei dem Alter von Frosts Vampiren finde ichs etwas albern, dass alle auf einmal ihre mates finden, aber man muss ja nicht überkorrekt sein, und das fäll auch nur als Hardcorefan auf.
Terri Garey: 5/5. Ihre Geschichte ist in ihrem Nicky styx universum angesiedelt, nicky spielt die von Geistern geplagte Hauptrolle, und muss hier für eine junge tote Frau kämpfen und gleichzeitig ihre Redneckverwandtschaft samt grauslichem Kleid ertragen. Schön,von Nicky mal wieder zu lesen. Wems gefällt, von ihr gibts eine lesenswerte Buchreihe die meiner Meinung nach zu unrecht schlechte Rezensionen auf Amazon hat.
Kathryn Smith: Ich gebe jetzt mal 4 Sterne, weil ich sie ähnlich wie Maggie Shaynes Geschichte einstufe. Shaynes Geschichte war für mich einen Tick besser, aber ich mochte die Heldin von Kathryn Smith irgendwie nicht so gern. Junge Frau in der ich sag mal Regency periode (keine Ahnung, so geanu interessierts mich jetzt da nicht, wer da grad an der macht war) liebte Vampir, der sie aber verlassen hat. Sie will einen anderen heiraten, aber Vampir kommt zurück, zerstört ihre Verlobung und will sie zurück. Es spielen noch die Vergangenheit des Vampirs und ein mysteriöser Geheimorden eine Rolle.
Naja, schlecht geschrieben wars nicht, mir war die Heldin etwas zu selbstbewusst für die Zeit (moderne Frau eben, was (mich) in dieser historischen Umgebung immer etwas nervt) und die Hintergrundgeschichte war etwas unausgegoren, und die Beziehungsangst des Vampirs war etwas hanebüchen. Er lebt seit den Kreuzzügen, hat aber Angst, zu lieben: Get over it! Kurz und gut: Der Vampir macht sich lächerlich. Er ist zu alt, und/oder strunzdumm, wenn er nach Jahrhunderten immer noch Kleinmädchenängste aussteht. Kam mir eher etwas vor wie Twilight's Edward und seine: ich verlasse dich, um dich vor mir zu schützen Nummer. Wenn man mit siebzehn gestorben ist, mag man es einem Vampir verzeihen, dass er sich wie ein dummer Teenie verhält, aber die Entschuldigung hat dieser Vampir nicht. Naja, ohne Hirn ganz nett zu lesen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spannende paranormale Liebesgeschichten

Maggie Shayne: Till Death - 4,5 Sterne
Die Anfangsgescchichte ist schon ein Schocker und zieht den Leser in ihren Bann. Eine verfluchte Amerikanerin schottischer Abstammung will den Fluch auf alle verheirateten Frauen ihres Clans brechen. Ich kannte die Autorin noch nicht, nach dieser Kurzgeschichte, die spannend zu lesen ist, werde ich sicher ein Buch von ihr kaufen.

Jeaniene Frost: Happily never after - 4 Sterne
Ich habe dieses Buch wegen ihr gekauft. Und somit muss ich zugeben, dass ich vielleicht nicht ganz objektiv sein kann. Die Frau schreibt eine Wahnsinns-Nighthuntress-Serie. Die Vampire, die Jeaniene Frost darstellt, sind unglaublich gut aussehende unsterbliche Männer und Frauen, die alle zum Verlieben sind. Hier spielt auch ein wenig Mafia dabei und macht die Geschichte äußerst interessant, dennoch ist es nicht ihre stärkste Geschichte und vielleicht nicht interessant genug, um weitere Bücher von ihr zu lesen. Glauben sie mir, die Frau lohnt sich.

Terri Garey: Ghouls Night out - 5 Sterne.
Mir war die Autorin unbekannt, ihre Kurzgeschichte ist aber die lustigste paranormale Geschichte, die ich seit langem gelesen habe. Ich werde mit Sicherheit ein Buch von ihr bestellen. Eine Cousine mit parapsychischen Fähigkeiten, muss in letzter Sekunde als Brautjunfer einspringen und stellt mit Entsetzen fest, dass ihre Vorgängerin ermordet wurde und ihr Geist sucht sie immer wieder auf. Als ob es nicht genug Folter wäre in einer amerikanischen Kleinstadtfamilie die Brautsjungfer zu spielen...Witzig und spannend erzählt.

Kathryn Smith: Wedding Knight - 3,5 Sterne
Ich stimme meiner Vorrezensentin zu. Eine schöne paranormale historische Liebesgeschichte, nur passt sie nicht in diese Sammlung rein aus dem einfachen Grund, dass alle anderen Geschichten in der modernen Gegenwart spielen, diese dagegen im England des 19. Jhds. Wer eine Vorliebe für historisierende Liebesgeschichten hat ist hiermit sehr gut bedient.

Im Großen und Ganzen eine Kurzgeschichtssammlung wie sie sein sollte. Eine Vorstellung von vielleicht unbekannten Autoren eines Genres - kurzweilig, teilweise witzig und immer spannend erzählt.
