A review by laurla
The Mammoth Book Of Paranormal Romance 2 by Trisha Telep

THE GAUNTLET by Karen Chance - cassie palmer # 0.5 - a Kit Marlowe short story and a companion piece to The Queen's Witch. Kit Marlowe, as a not-too-old vampire, goes to liberate Gillian, a witch, from jail and is thrust into the middle of a battle. "...a rain of arrows shot by. One of them grazed Kit's arm, leaving a stinging track across his skin, while another buried itself in the wood between his spread legs. He stared at it wildly - there were certain things he was not willing to sacrifice for queen and country."

THE GETAWAY by Sonya Bateman - Gavyn donotti # 1.5 - Getaway driver Jazz and ex-thief Donatti are out for a romantic weekend. But they’re lost in the mountains, and something magical and dangerous is going on. And for once, it’s not Donatti's fault.
"cut the wisecracks. I'm trying to drive." "can't have that now. you'll get a DWL, and that'll go on your record forever. whey they put you away, they'll make you watch barney videos and listen to rico suave all day in your cell." "DWL? do I even want to know?" "driving while laughing. its a serious offense in the great state of new York. have you ever seen a trooper crack a smile?"
"It's dislocated, this is going to hurt." "got any booze?" "fresh out." "okay. i'll just man up and faint."

-I was only familiar with these two authors/series. I didn't care for the rest of the book which mostly seemed to be sickeningly sweet romance stories that were just too easy.
