Did I read the same book?
15 July 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read the other 3 glowing reviews by other readers and can't believe this book got a 4 1/2 star rating! Warning, spoilers ahead!
I'd be the first to say when you read paranormal romance you have to check reality as you know it at the first page, but this is just too much!
Ambrose was "killed" and resurrected by some "DARK MAN" while serving Pancho Villa in 1914, then he was changed into a werewolf. Joyous (our heroine) has a heart condition that caused her parents to abandon her to boarding schools all her life. Poor little rich girl. She ends a bad relationship (not marriage as previously stated by another reviewer) after she loses a baby (because of said heart condition) and flies off to Fiji on a whim on Christmas day.
She meets Ambrose and suddenly they are swamped by zombies and golums and all sorts of icky things. I mean it's one trauma after another. No real reason for the timing and purpose of the zombies is given until much later in the book. They leave the island and go back to one of her many houses she inherited from her parents and the zombies just keep on coming.
By the time you finally find out why the zombies are attacking, the ick factor is just unreal. Then during a battle, Ambrose (in his werewolf form) scratches Joyous. That means she'll turn furry with the next moon. Her heart won't survive the change, so he decides to kill and resurrect her (even though he's never done this before) in the midst of a battle. Then the FAE show up for no apparent reason and she announces she's preggers (after she's resurrected) and the book just ends!!!!
I was so mad when I finished this book I wanted to fling it across the room! If I could give it a 0 star I would! Don't waste your time.

Another fantastic title in the Divine series!
24 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Melanie Jackson has done it again! Divine Fantasy is a slam-bam, horror adventure that combines romance and exotic locale. Joyous Jones, the narrator of the tale, is a witty verbalist that is more than a match for Ambrose Bierce, whom she meets at his secluded island resort. And that is where the fun begins. Between fighting off the walking dead and avoiding the full moon, these two loners find the other half of their souls.

An AWESOME FUN book!!
26 July 2011
I don't write too many reviews but when I just happened to see the last one written here, I became highly motivated to voice my opinion. This was my first time reading any of Melanie Jackson's works, and I LOVED this book!
First of all, a "review" is NOT a synopsis. Someone whose whole review consists of "spoilers" is not being very kind or fair to someone who is thinking of purchasing the book.
Secondly, I'm sorry, but the "reviewer" from Alabama totally missed the point/premise of this book. I believe Divine Fantasy was meant to be highly imaginative FUN. Sort of like that bad "B" movie that you know is ridiculous but you just have to keep watching. Only a person unable to grasp the concept of humor would give this book a poor rating. Obviously the other reviewers understood the concept.
