Wicked cool story, check it out if you crave characters with originality and comic pranks and banter. Has the feel of something Larisa might write and well...who doesn't like Larisa? - Stephanie - Apr 24th, 2003    Very funny - Anonymous - Dec 14th, 2003    Very good and laugh out loud story. This is the first story I've read from Zee but I can assure you that it won't be the last. Thank you Zee for sharing. - Nancy - May-14-2008    Has the same engery, depth of character, and wicked sense of humor that I've come to expect from one of Zee's stories; combine that with a great story plot and you have a great story! - Jennifer Lee - Jul-13-2008    Zee once again cleverly spins a tale that initially seems so simple - girl meets girl but the love-hate dynamic that she whips out between Jessica, the spoiled big-time LA TV personality forced to work at a small NPR radio station and Sean, the young feisty radio engineer is all that and more. Loved a lot about this story especially some clever phrases like, "Sean's tongue, the apple seducing Jessica out of her garden of self-imposed isolation." Or, "you're right Jess you should start small, like having sex with another person first." Story includes Mama Megan the matriarch that raised five lesbians - typical sibling rivalry between 25-year-old Sean and older sister and station general manager, Gabriel. Kudos to this bard!!! Really good read and over way to quickly. Please, I know it's been a few years, but how about another tale of the Wildeman clan??? PLEASE - toni - Aug-16-2008    This story is just so entertaining. I loved it the first time I read it and I love it this time, too. - purplehawke - Jan-05-2009    Very, very enjoyable little romp! - bookgeek - Apr-17-2010    that was really good. i loved it but god damnit i want more. you cant just leave me hanging here. please write some more about these girls. - pickles - Jun-05-2010    Fun story. Zee always creates characters that jump right off the page. This story is full of great characters and you're drawn into their lives as it unfolds. I really enjoyed reading it. Recommended. - Lyn B - Feb-18-2011    Funny and entertaining story. Loved it. - M.E. - Mar-16-2013    funny story, but i do have one point of criticism ***SPOILER ALERT*** mama megan didn't raise five lesbians.. there is a difference between lesbians and transsexuals.. in this case the transsexual should get the straight stamp.. - xtra dog - Jun-13-2013    I love the Wildeman family and would love to see more of them. I have read this story several times. I enjoy spending time with Sean and Jessica. When's the sequel? - Rebelchelle - Mar-07-2015

Wow! What a great little tale. I really enjoyed the characters interactions, and hope to see more of them in the future. - Beth Goodman - Dec 12th, 2003    Zee's stories are incredibly well crafted and always a pleasure to read.Remy, as with many of Zee's protagonists, is very easy to identify with--a real human who is often shy, awkward or at a loss for what to say or do in a given situation. Megan is quite real too; and she is magnificent as she fights her way off the pedestal Remy's placed her on.Oh, and the scene on the airplane with the demon child was hysterical! I've often wished I had the chutzpah to deal with it the way Remy does.I look forward to reading more of Zee's work. - saphire - Jan 8th, 2004    This is by far one of my favorite stories on the net. It is full of humor and romance and you just can't help but smile when you read it. Definitely one that everyone should check out. - Peg - Aug 17th, 2005    I triple the recommendation. It's one of my favourites too - I read it several times a year. Funny, angsty and taps into my comic fantasy. Zee is a fabulous writer. - E - Aug 22nd, 2005    i absolutely loved this story, it's brilliant. As usual with Zee's stories, this is humourous, realistic, riveting and down-to-earth with characters you can relate to. one of my favourite stories, i hope there will be a sequel. i've been praying, i know it's sad, but oh well there you go. lol. loved it! i'd advise everyone who likes these kind of stories to read it asap, otherwise you're missing out. fantastic. keep up the great work Zee. all Zee's stories r captivating, i would say she's one of the best authors in this genre. definately one of my favourite. - Queen Victoria - Jun-30-2006    I love this story! Zee truly is a gem of a story teller. You won't be disappointed reading any of her stories, but Comic Book Life is an excellent choice. - jd - Nov-22-2006    I've read this a few times, and it's still interesting, which is rare. Well written too! - Anonymous - May-21-2007    I have read this story many times now it has never failed to make me laugh! Remy is so really and easy to identify with you can almost believe she isn't a work of fiction! I love the interation between Remy, Kit, and Megan it is so much fun to read it's almost like being right there on the sidelines! Thank you Zee for the great story! - Jennifer Lee - Jul-07-2008    This is one of the best romantic short stories on the web! It would be great to see this as a full-length story...but even so, I re-read this one over and over and am never disappointed. Thanks Zee!!! - Anonymous - Sep-03-2008    I loved this story. I don't know what it is about Remy, but I could totally relate to her. I think it may have been the awkwardness around children. But it's a cute story and I'll definitely be re-reading it! - Hillsys Stalker - Sep-07-2008    This is a great piece. There's such heart to it. Plus, the humor had me literally snickering at the screen. Remy is so charming and I loved Kit. I think Kit made the story for me. heh. wonder tits. - Anonymous - Nov-30-2008    I love, love this story. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-16-2009    Funny story with endearing, lovable characters -- I only wish it hadn't ended so soon! And I'd have loved to get more into the plot with BloodRaven. Thank you - omkhalil - Jan-09-2010    Loved the quick fun storyline that reeled me in with what seemed to me to be a minimum of effortm, mind you I'm sure it wasn't. Well done Ms Zee you've done it again! Now I'm off to find another one! Cheers - dragon_grrl - Apr-03-2010    I enjoyed this story. /it was funny and poignant. I liked the characters, including the secondary ones: they added a lot to the story.

Ridiculous, romantic, it is read easily, heroes so live what to leave them it would not be desirable.

This one was just great, fully recommended. - M.E. - Mar-16-2013    Zee does a good job mixing romance with humor and life in this story. Definitely worth a read. - Stacia - Mar-16-2013    this story has been commented on so much already.. i'm not sure if putting my two cents in is going to accomplish anything.. suffice it to say that i loved the story.. - xtra dog - Jun-13-2013

I've read this a few times, and it still draws me in. Amazing work, Zee. Thank you! - Anonymous - Nov-25-2007    Starts out as a sweet, funny love/lust story, then suddenly...won't give anything away - just read it. This story definitely needs a sequel. - chatham23 - Dec-05-2007    I re-read this one when I saw it recommended by Anon & have enjoyed its complexity and characterizations. - Kali - Dec-06-2007    Fabulous story! Needs a sequel. - Julie - Dec-13-2007    Wonderful story-Would like to see a sequal. - Trista - Jul-23-2008    This story has a lot of depth. It's about a young woman who was unknowingly caught in a web of lies and tradegy at the tender age of 13. Carmen, now at the age of 26, is forced to relive the past her mind tried to protect her from. She's such a wonderful character. Thank goodness for the care and attention she receives from her two friends Sue and Ed; and such wonderful friends the three make. Molly is another friend that later enters the small circle and brings with her a lot of sunshine. And there is April.... What a wonderful world if only made up of these five characters. Brilliant writing with a lot of insight and heart. Thank you, Zee! Oh, yes, there is reference to male/female intimacies. It is not the main character, however, just boyfriends or girlfriends of the main character's best friends. I was able to gloss over those references with litle or no ripple on the storyline. - Teresa Thomas - Dec-01-2008    i am puzzled that this story is not rated higher. it is absorbing, with fantastic characters. - kc - Sep-11-2010    Complex story, with lots of twists and turns before the ending. I enjoyed reading it. - Lyn B - Mar-05-2011    This story contains everything. I couldn't stop until I read the whole book! The story line is different from any thing I've ever read. Easily one of my favourite stories! - Riley - Aug-20-2012    You know, everything I've read of Zee's has been amazing. This story is no different. *****SPOILER ALERT***** I found most of the story incredibly sad. Carmen made great progress in the end, but the shadow will never truly go away. Great job in making me feel the emotion of this tale. - AJ - May-15-2013

Corrin Adams was 22 years old and had just started working for the Arizona State Troopers. Until she finished her probation she was partnered with James Addler. The older man wasn't too bad; she could have done a lot worse, and he didn't pull a lot of that old boys' club shit. Neither one, however, was ready for what they would encounter...
I love a good vampire story, and this one was better than good. It was great! It was exciting and action packed. It had a wealth of intricate details.

Please consider revisiting these characters, Zee. - d.bootes - Nov-13-2008    I'm a big fan of vampire fiction in all its different forms, and I really enjoyed this story.

Excellent. - Karen - Aug-07-2010    I don't usually read vampire stories, but I like Zee's writing, so I gave it a go. As always, her stories are very well written. This one is packed full of action and drama. I liked it and every character is vivid and memorable. Recommended. - Lyn B - Apr-06-2011    I enjoyed this one a great deal, and wish the sequel was complete. I found the first two chapters of the sequel here: http://web.archive.org/web/20040305043349/http://www.geocities.com/at3sparky/BHaH1.html The author indicates that the muse has quieted, but we can always hope she's able to finish it.

Zee brings to the table compelling characters and an eye for the way in which terrible experiences shape one's life.A thrill ride of emotions--tears, laughter, loneliness, joy, a dash ofcraziness and a heap of romance. There is a large secondary cast of characters who round out the story, including Sammy & Nikki..who I'm still trying to figure out. - X X - Sep 28th, 2002    A great read. This is an Uber Mel and Janice kind of story, Uber G is rough and tough and Uber X is brainy and from a better background. Lots of interesting characters help the story along too. - sapphie - Mar 25th, 2003    Good story, i would like to see what happens to them later in life. - Anonymous - Aug-21-2009    cant wait for their next step in their lives for these characters......very good story to read - goody - Jul-12-2010    "use those word things"... ha! this story is thrilling - angst, yep; flashbacks, yep; action, yep; 3-dimensional characters, love, romance, yep, yep, yep. astoundingly rocking novel. - kc - Sep-12-2010    Well written story by Zee.

AWESOME!! - Anonymous - Jan 8th, 2006    I don't usually get into the halloween or horror stories. HOWEVER, this story was very intriguing and it kept me reading. Yes, it had blood and gore but it had drama and a bit of humor. The character of Gigamore was very unique. This is the best Halloween offering I remember reading. Zee, if the mood or muse ever strikes you, I would definitely read a sequel, especially involving Gigamore. - Gabsfan - Jan 16th, 2006    This was a very interesting story! I really hope you write more on this story. - Jennifer Lee - Jul-13-2008    This is one of the best Halloween stories that I've read. I found it intriguing, witty and thought provoking. Very enjoyable. It draws you in and holds you until the final word. Highly recommended. - Lyn B - Mar-01-2011    quite a violent story.. there is a lot of blood ang gore, but the story also makes you think about a number of preconceived notions you might have.. excellent.. - xtra dog - Jun-15-2013
