Day and Somewhere Else…
The perfect suburban wife, in the perfect suburban
town, Samantha just knew she didn’t belong here. This Stepford
existence couldn’t possibly be her real life? When the sexy
milkman, Corydonais, warns Samantha to wake up before it’s
too late, she knows that somehow, some way, her real life has
been taken away, and Matthew, the man she calls husband, isn’t
her husband at all and her children are really evil demons.
Who is Samantha, and how can she escape from the
unreality she is currently living? Only Corydonais can help her,
but only after she figures out a way to escape.
Corydonais is one of the Fey (don’t call them
Fairies; they really don’t like it); he’s also a shape
shifter and leader of the Storm Ravens who are responsible for
tracking down rogue fey.
Once Sam escapes from her prison in suburbia, she
and Cor, along with the Storm Ravens, team up to search for Matthew
and his wicked mother to stop their evil plans.
BEDLAM, BATH AND BEYOND is a fresh story filled with
humor. The premise is unique and the action is non-stop. Samantha
is a smart, sassy woman with a mind of her own and is well able
to take care of herself...in most circumstances. However, when
dealing with Fey magic, having the handsome Corydonais by her
side certainly doesn’t hurt. Corydonais is a man, er fairy…
umm, well …(you know what I mean) dedicated to his job and
to keeping the humans safe from the evil fey. He’s also
sexy and fun loving, when he’s not being bossy and superior.
The chemistry between Samantha and Cor sizzles, though neither
wants to admit it. Secondary characters include Sam’s zany
mother, Cor’s unpredictable younger sister, Nikki, and the
conspiracy of Storm Ravens under Cor.
With a beginning that is a bit on the spooky side
to the ending which is heartwarming and satisfying, BEDLAM, BATH
AND BEYOND is a fun start to what promises to be an interesting
series.
