"Murder on Mysteria Lane" by Angie Fox

"What's Yours is Mine" by Jess Haines

"Werewolves in Chic Clothing" by Tami Dane

Jenny's review:
This is a collection of works about the werewolves that call Vampire County their home. It follows the lives of four werewolves that live either by choice or for work among the who’s who of the vampires, and others in places like Mysteria Lane. The main characters include: Sophia, a were who is surprised to find that someone is hunting her and annoyed that she has to use the services of a bodyguard. And even more annoyed that she cannot help but be attracted to him. Heather McPhee, with the skill to make people tell her the truth, and who is forced to go undercover as the wife of a vampire, her worst nightmare, and instead finds that maybe being with a vampire could be more than she ever expected. Then there is Tiffany Winters who wants to find her place in the pack and will do anything to get there. She finds her place all right and then has the pleasure of returning the favor onto others. Lastly, Christine Price who didn’t quite know what she was getting herself into and is surprised by the people in her neighborhood. She finds that love can out win them all though. An eclectic cast of women to be sure.
This was a funny book for me. It was such an excellent play on all the reality shows about women who are living fancy lives and have lots of time to pick on each other. It was like when you watch the reality shows and you think, I can't believe I am watching this because it is so ridiculous. I found myself not able to stop reading, and laughing the whole way.
I liked how the stories were written in that they all had a different character that they followed in this crazy little world. They were not connected to each other in any other way, but you could see them all living in the same area. The continuity was the neighborhood. I thought that the little mysteries that followed some of them were fun and made the stories more fun to read. All in all, a great collection of stories for just pure lazy reading. (I don’t mean that in a bad way, just that it was a book that you didn’t have to think about too hard.)
