Publisher's summary

In "Shades of Gray" by Katie MacAlister, Noelle is a Guardian: a demon-wrangler, imp-banisher, and all-round secret protector of humans from the Otherworld. While working on the set of a ghost-busting reality show in a haunted castle, she meets a sexy vampire, and together they prevent a Master Demon from killing everyone in the castle.

In "Undead Sublet" by Molly Harper, executive chef Tess Maitland is banned from her five-star kitchen in Chicago to recover from "exhaustion". Choosing a random rental house in Half-Moon Hollow to spend time in, she's unaware that the house comes with a strange man. Even though Sam Masden's ex-wife has rented the house out from under him, the divorce settlement allows him access to it for another ninety days. With Tess unable to go anywhere else, and Sam unwilling, a war of epic proportions is declared - and romantic sparks and heavy pots fly.

Jessica Sims's "Out With a Fang" features Ruby Sommers, a lonely were-jaguar who signs up for a blind date through the paranormal dating agency Midnight Liaisons. When she arrives, she finds out that her date, a vampire, was the human she'd been in love with four years ago but was forced to dump.

Molly Harper's story is great!

First story is bad. The second story is wonderful! It is funny, quirky, and not too graphic. The third story is listenable. I would have been sad if I had spent a credit on this, but happily it is available as part of Audible Escape.

THE UNDEAD IN MY BED

Great collection of stories. Great story lines and love with a little humor tossed into the mix. I really enjoyed these tales.

Three short stories

I got this book because I am a fan of Molly Harper’s Half Moon Hallow series. I loved her short story in this. I also enjoyed the last short story in the book. The first one was just meh… it didn’t make much sense and just seemed like bad writing off a bad script turned into a story. The other two stories were worth the read though.

Two out of three

Okay, I hate to say it, but one of the stories was not my cup of tea, one was a good story and one was perfection. Every person has different preferences in a story, but this was my experience. I am not saying which was which because I think the collection was good and that you should give it a chance. The one that was perfection led to me searching for more by that author and finding more books that are my style. So dip your toes in the water, test these stories out, and maybe you will find a new author that intrigues you as well!

Nice compliment to the "Nice Girls" series

If you could sum up The Undead in My Bed in three words, what would they be?

funny, romantic, adventure

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh yes, it wasn't a long story but well worth the time to listen.

2 out of three stories not bad

As a series of short stories I loved 2 and 3 were great but #1 was not. I think it was the narrator. The story and voice didn't mesh. Not that either on was bad but, not together. #2 was so funny I laughed out loud. Love the story of revenge college style as adults. #3. Was sweet
I recommend this book for a good laugh

Fun read

As in all good books it follows the proper format of love, laughter, intrigue, friction and of course, happy endings. Great compilation.

second story is well worth it

The first story needs a little more development. It was hard to follow trying to put all of the pieces together while keeping up with the mystery.

Second story will make you laugh. you can't listen/read this story without laughing out loud. should be an independent story.

Third story was good for passing time. good first book, more of a dramatic romance than a rom com

Cherry picking

I really only liked the Molly Harper story. The five stars are for it and the narrator.

Three Very Different Stories

These were three very different stories and I appreciated that because it gave me a chance to get to know a little about each author and their style.

I definitely liked the Molly Harper story the best. It was intelligent and funny and hard to stop listening.

Katie McAlister’s story was interesting But I had a hard time getting into it and that may have been entirely because of the voice. In some ways the Betty Boop voice added humor but it also got irritating after a while.

The Jessica Sim’s story was very good. But little niggling things bug me about the characters and made what seemed to be a very intelligent character come across as lowbrow. I am thinking this was from a lack of care from the author and descriptions… Maybe this was a rush project? That ValJean was constantly referred to as a character from a musical? I just wanted to say surely an Educated… Self or not… Wouldknowis based on an epic novel.
