I've not previously read a Wyndhma Werewolf Tale, so I came into DERIK'S BANE with no preconceptions. I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the typical MaryJanice Davidson wit, although I did find the ending (which happened in about two pages) a wee bit far-fetched.

Derik Gardner, hottie and member of the Wyndham Pack, has recently been feeling a little out of sorts. When he loses control one morning and gets into it with alpha Michael Wyndham (his leader and best friend since childhood), he realizes that something has to change.

And change they do. Derik has been informed that the reincarnation of Morgan La Fay, great sorceress and sister to King Arthur, not to mention historically believed to be a betrayer of a nation, has now taken the body of spunky, cute nurse with a doctorate Sara Gunn. His mission? "Take care of" Ms. Gunn, and prevent her from destroying the world.

Sara is a little perturbed by Derik's arrival on her doorstep, but no more so than she was by the guys in red monk's robes who tried to kill her at the hospital where she works later that day. It seems strange things are always happening to her, but her "luck", as she calls it, in turn causes weird things to happen to the bad guys.

As Derik attempts to take care of Sara by killing her, he realizes that he, superior body be damned, can't hurt her. So if you can't beat 'em, you join 'em, right? Sara and Derik set off cross-country to Salem, Massachusetts, where the sect of King Arthur resides, determined to save the world from destruction.

DERIK'S BANE is a fun, enjoyable read. In typical MJD style it's got passion, hilarious dialogue, a yummy hero, and a spunky heroine. What it lacks is a try believable ending (Sara KICKS the baddie to destroy it), but overall this is a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Worst book by MJD ever. Complete piece of carp. She must've really needed the money, or perhaps the deadline was too short & she didn't have time for a complete re-write.

I loved this book. I love her Betsy series but I think that this one was better. I really have not liked her novelas or even her Fred the mermaid series but I like the Wyndam werewolves! I thought that the end was so funny!

Humorous romance - a psychic predicts the end of the world - unless Derek (who happens to be a werewolf) saves it. He meets with the cause of the end of the world - Dr. Sara Gunn and immediately falls for her. A classic road trip ensues...

A quick read that's the standard MJD with a mouthy heroine, hunky hero and unbelievable events in between. I liked it overall, but think I'm getting burned out on all of her books having characters who all seem to have the same personalities. It gets old after awhile. The ending felt a bit rushed with the "battle" scene and the epilogue was a little lame, but after reading so many MJD books, it's about what I've come to expect from this author. It makes me really glad I just used a PBS credit to get this book!

Cute Short Story about Derik "The Werewolf" trying to save the world and his adventure,in doing so and how during all of that he finds his mate.
**************This book is explict so adults only********************

Not as good as the Queen Betsy series but still a good quick read.

Fluffy fun book, read it in about 2 hours. Sara and Derik are fun and well matched.

The comical banter between the two main characters in this book is great! Although, the sexual tension could have been better described that using the F-word so many times, I did enjoy the quick read. Will have to get ahold of MaryJanice Davidson's previous werewolf books to complete the picture she painted about Derik!

A grown man, supposed-to-be-a-badass werewolf uses the word yucky on page 22. I only read that far out of a need for a new, good book. this most deffinately wasn't it!

I had such a fun time reading this book. Talk about quick read. It took about 6 hours and I spent a lot of that time laughing. The dialogue is witty and sarcastic. It reads like a movie. Actually I would love to see this as a movie. The FCC may have a problem with the intimate scenes though. (In that case, never mind.)

This book was such a fast read. Cute story line. Typical Mary Janice Davidson humor.If you like Queen Betsy you'll like Derik's Bane.

I've read all of the Queen Betsy series thus far and her werewolf/vampire anthology. This one is right up there with them... filling out the story of minor characters from Queen Betsy books.

Cute quick read. MJD always makes me laugh.

This is one of MaryJanice's few offerings that deal with werewolves. I have enhoyed the humor in her books and have kept this book of hers on my shelf for re-reading.

I enjoy MaryJanice Davidson and this book is no different. Good book.

Love the werewolf romance =)

This is cute!

Did not like this one as much as her others.

Excellent book
