It all begins when a drunken Cupid shoots the wrong guy with his arrow, not once, but twice. As a result, Bruce notices Roxanne. Well, he had noticed her before, after all, she's the handsome, but arrogant restaurant owner's best, prettiest, brainiest waitress. Now, he is encouraged to notice her.

It's not long until the two are running for their lives from a pack of demented zombies searching for brains, exorcising the ghosts left over from a love triangle, and dealing with an amorous werewolf.

Granted, this is a lightweight bit of silly fluff, but it's supposed to be. Although Bruce has about as many brains as a Ken doll, Roxanne has enough to share. If you're fond of Monty Python but wish there was a little romance, then this might be the right book for you.







 
 

Review Quotes
"Meet Roxanne, who is good with clues, and Bruce, who is usually clueless. Mix them together, and you have the silliest supernatural sleuths I've seen in a long, long time. Come along for the ride – will Bruce finally appreciate Roxanne's good qualities? Will Roxanne keep Bruce from losing more body parts? Yup – it's that kind of world. You gotta grin or slap them senseless, and I vote for the grins!"
    -- Katharine Eliska Kimbriel, author of Wings of Morning

"Tales From the Home For Wayward Spirits and Bar-B-Que Grill will tickle your baby back ribs and drizzle your funny bone in its special secret-recipe sauce. Cookin' on the grill we've got zombies, werewolves, ghosts (it's hard to keep the sauce on them), and even Cupid. If you're in the mood for a good ol' fashioned, lighthearted horror meal, let Rie Sheridan serve you this delightful treat!"
