Product Description
Three all-new paranormal stories of lust, laughter, and love from the New York Times bestselling author, including an original novella featuring Undead queen Betsy Taylor.
With her trademark "sassy dialogue, lusty lovemaking [and] irreverent humor"* New York Times bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson delighted fans with her wickedly sexy and wildly funny anthology, Dead and Loving It-stories in which the worlds of the Wyndham Werewolves and Undead Queens collided. Now she returns to that sensual and irresistible after-dark realm of werewolves, vampires, and mermaids in three more original novellas--including an all-new Betsy Taylor novella.

 Light and Fun Reading July 18, 2008
This was light reading and fun for those that like Betsey the Vampire Queen adventures.
Vampires and Mermaids and Werewolves, oh my! July 9, 2008
I got a kick out of Dead Over Heels with the three zany shorts that tied into Davidson's "Undead", Fred the Mermaid and Wyndham werewolf books.
It was fun getting a little slice of vampire Queen Betsy's misadventures this time on her honeymoon in "Undead and Wed". All the standard stuff you'd expect from the "Undead" books is here: daquiri's, shoes, shopping and sex with Sinclair (whenever Betsy could ditch Jessica and Nick who crashed the honeymoon).
I also enjoyed the spin off from Davidson's Fred the Mermaid series, "Survivor" with the inept Survial show host lost at sea and his mermaid rescuer, Davidson writes the most wacky and offbeat characters.
But the story I liked best was the Speed-dating Werewolf Style... It was one of Davidson's better Wyndham Werewolf tales, with Cain the alpha werewolf female who decides she's got to get married in the next three weeks and tasks her longtime buddy, also a were, with setting her up with some eligible weres. It had two of my favorite elements: werewolves and the friend who has secretly longed for more. It thought it was funny watching the passive agressive beta male friend, secretly undermining Cain's attempts to find a mate, hoping that she'll finally see that the perfect wolf has been under her nose the whole time. It's always nice to see the nice (but sneaky) guy finally finish first.
I've pretty much stopped reading Davidson since she's gone to Hardback and Trade Paperbacks for her releases. Too much money for something that I can read in such a short amount of time. But I got lucky with Dead Over Heels and found this one used, and even better since I haven't read alot of Davidson lately these were a fun reminder of why I enjoyed the earlier "Undead" books, Sleeping with the Fishes (Fred the Mermaid, Book 1) and Derik's Bane (Berkley Sensation).
 Great Work! June 16, 2008
Loved this book...my only problem is that she doesn't write fast enough to satisfy my appetite for more stories.
Witty, Fast-paced Fun! June 12, 2008
Mary Janice Davidson delivers all her traditional full length punch in these short stories. As always, she keeps her plot lines moving, her readers engaged and laughing out loud, and her characters developed and developing inside the stories.
This is a great quick read if you need a light hearted escape with a supernatural kick to it. Whether it be vampires, werewolves or merfolk, the fantasy is believeable enough for your real world brain to check out for an hour or so and unwind.
Absolutely, do check this book out!
A Good Read June 10, 2008
Typical Mary Janice Davidson fun awaits you while you get latest scoop on all her favorite charters. Nice short stories that you can take with you on the run. Enjoy.
