Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Elena pregnant and still kicking zombie ass — the pack dynamics are peak found family, and the Jack the Ripper portal plot is wild.

Synopsis

Four astonishing tales, each different than the last. The Last Unicorn : The marvelous quest of an immortal unicorn, assisted by a mediocre magician, for her lost fellows. Lila the Werewolf : The whimsical tale of a lovely young girl who plays the guitar, has a mother in the Bronx, and turns into a werewolf at night -- much to the distress of the man she loves. A Fine and Private Place : The gloriously funny and heartwarming novel of everlasting love affairs for the living and the dead that begin in a cemetery. Come, Lady Death : The spellbinding story of a wealthy and jaded woman who plans the ultimate party...with Death as the guest-of-honor.

At a Glance

Elena is literally nine months pregnant and still out here fighting zombies unleashed from a Jack the Ripper portal — you cannot make this up. If you love the Otherworld pack and want peak Elena-and-Clay found family energy with a side of supernatural chaos, this one delivers. Just know the romance takes a backseat to the action-packed urban fantasy plot.
