My friend Angie Hunter reviewed Biting Oz for me. She gave it 3 out of 5 stars. Here’s her review! Thank you Ang!
Mary Hughes has an interesting interpretation of the world of vampires in “Biting Oz”. Junior and Glynn are intriging main characters that I liked right away and found myself rooting for. Hughes’s use of comedy lightens the usual “dark” world of vampires and makes you feel this world is perfectly normal. Junior’s hovering parents add an interesting wrinkle as the two lovers attempt to get closer. Living with them and having a curfew in her mid twenties puts a quite a damper on Junior’s love life.
Although I felt the story line was a bit predictable at times, it was very entertaining and I did find myself anticipating what would happen next. The intimate scenes were a tad much for my taste and I felt the story would have been even better with more details left to the readers imagination. Due to the language and adult themes this book is definitely an adult read. 🙂
Here’s the synopsis of the book.
Real vampires do musicals.
Gunter Marie “Junior” Stieg is stuck selling sausage for her folks in small-town Meiers Corners. Until one day she’s offered a way out-the chance to play pit orchestra for a musical headed for Broadway: Oz Wonderful Oz.
But someone is threatening the show’s young star. To save the production, Junior must join forces with the star’s dark, secretive bodyguard, whose sapphire eyes and lyrical Welsh accent thrill her. And whose hard, muscular body sets fire to her passions.
Fierce as a warrior, enigmatic as a druid, Glynn Rhys-Jenkins has searched eight hundred years for a home. Junior’s get-out-of-Dodge attitude burns him, but everything else about her inflames him, from her petite body and sharp mind to what she can do with her hip-length braid.
Then a sensuous, insidious evil threatens not only the show, but the very foundations of Meiers Corners. To fight it, Junior and Glynn must face the truth about themselves-and the true meaning of love and home.
Warning: Cue the music, click your heels together, make a wish and get ready for one steamy vampire romance. Contains biting, multiple climaxes, embarrassing innuendos, ka-click/ka-ching violence, sausage wars
and-shudder-pistachio fluff.
