Three short stories in the paranormal romance genre by Barbara Hamblyn, Maggie Shayne, and Charlaine Harris.

Series: “Dancers in the Dark” (Sookie Stackhouse, 4.2)

The Stories

Charlaine Harris‘ “Dancers in the Dark” uses the general world of Sookie Stackhouse as the setting for a romance between a dancing vampire and an abused young woman. The story is good but the writing is juvenile (for Harris).

Maggie Shayne did not disappoint; “Her Best Enemy” was cute. This is a sweet, unexpected (on everyone’s part) romance involving mediums, a muckraker, and a serial killer.

Barbara Hambly‘s “Someone Else’s Shadow” released a great many unhappy ghosts while saving young women with romance as a very small sidebar. Good writing.
