Sink your teeth into six short stories about vampires, werewolves, goblins, and humans as they live and work together to keep the peace in Texas. A woman follows a handsome man out of a nightclub, and her world changes forever. The past gets in the way of a vampire who just wants to party with friends. Galveston’s newest police detective meets residents who’ve lived on the island far too long. A conversation not meant for humans changes a woman’s life. If only she could remember it. Sometimes everybody’s bad day really is your fault. A woman’s stuck in a house with a handsome man who ignores her and something else paying too much attention to her.
One great romance while she still has time: That’s not too much to ask. But Harry? While Harry isn’t the man of anyone’s dreams, he is the man she needs. Every night, she poses, and he paints. As painting follows painting, more of those not-quite-humans make themselves known to her. Kitten watches as with each stroke of Harry’s brush, humans and unhumans form new lines and shapes, creating unions between the classic and the new. The more time they spend together, the stronger they become. They could rule an empire, but there are many who want to stop them. Maybe someone should. Now, Hunters gather in the city determined to destroy unhumans and the humans with them, even if it means destroying the city. Kitten never wanted to hurt anyone, but after the first death, it’s so easy. Now, it’s time to pay.
Clara loves a good fight: beating the odds, defending what's right, and valuing those around her. She fought to build the perfect life in Galveston, and she’s loved every battle. When the Army arrives, led by a handsome colonel, she decides her life is complete. But something isn’t right. A tourist disappearing at the height of the season is nothing to worry her, but more than tourists are missing. Instead of walking in the moonlight and enjoying the soothing song of the Gulf waters, fear, like fingers of ice, wraps around her. Something is changing. Even Gaston, her favorite dog, is acting strange. He’s loving one moment, hiding in a corner the next, and growling at her the next. Actually, all the pets in her veterinary practice are acting strange, especially when her best friend shows up. John, the lover she’s been waiting for, is worried but tells her it’s nothing. Clara knows something is up. She paid attention when her grandmother told her stories of things not quite human and how they hide in shadows. If Clara’s going to save her home, her island, and those she loves, she’ll need all her fighting skills to find the truth. The problem with knowing the truth, it can’t be unknown.
CC thought she understood unhumans, but a new monster has moved into town. Even her unhuman friends are afraid. She needs more than her hunting skills; she needs a team to catch it before it kills, again. Luckily, she has one: a couple of old vampires with scores to settle, a werewolf or two with attitude, and a few friends with the police. She’ll keep the team working together, but only if she can keep them from killing each other. No matter where she turns, she feels the monster getting closer to her. The closer it gets, the sharper her senses, until she realizes she and the monster are alike: Each sees souls and each sees the other’s soul. Even her friends are worried about her. Is she strong enough to save herself when she can’t even save the one she loves?
The Tale of Us Against the Monster follows the journey of a husband and wife. Unguarded and raw, with a touch of humour here and there, this book shares the trials, losses, and insights of a wife caring for her husband who is terminally ill with Cancer. The underlying motif of this tale is “suffering shared” and that those with the disease or caring for loved ones with the disease can know they are not alone.
