If you haven't read the first book in the F.R.E.A.K.S. series (MIND OVER MONSTERS) please check out my review of it elsewhere on this site. Werewolf Will is off recovering from the wounds he received in Colorado; he's with a werewolf pack nowhere near Kansas. Dr. Black wants Beatrice to go undercover in Dallas to find out who's killing a widely disparate group of victims. The problem is this: Dr. Black wants her to pose as the vampire Oliver's wife, because Beatrice isn't affected by that vampire mind-control thing. Oliver is definitely a threat to Will, especially where Beatrice is concerned. If Beatrice tells Will about this, he'll macho up on her and cause all kinds of problems. If she doesn't tell him, he'll really go ballistic when he finds out, and he will find out. AND Beatrice is totally dismayed when she sees what females wear out in public in the vampire scene in Dallas. Again, what's a girl to do? Beatrice goes to Dallas with Oliver, who absolutely revels in the whole thing. He gets to spend time with Beatrice without Will around, and he delights in tormenting her with his attempts at seduction. She delights in taunting Marianna, an ex-lover of Oliver's and a powerful vampire in her own right. A dangerous sport, that is, and Oliver has his hands full keeping the two of them in check. Serves him right. Eventually, Beatrice and Oliver do figure out who is doing the killing. Again, the final scene in that plot-line is pretty gruesome. This is part of a series, so we can hope that all ends as well as we'd like. I particularly enjoy reading about Beatrice and Oliver, who do grow in terms of their relationship with each other. Beatrice comes into her own in this book, making decisions for herself and being confident that she is doing the best she can. Gotta love that in a female character. Book three comes out next year. I hate waiting. § P.J. Coldren lives in northern lower Michigan where she reads and reviews widely across the mystery genre when she isn't working in her local hospital pharmacy.
