Title: Cute dialogue, but unbelievable characters!
Product review: I was hoping that "Derik's Bane" would have the same charisma as the werewolf stories in Davison's "Secrets" books. And it did start out that way, with Derik's provocation of Michael setting off a fight, possibly to the death. However, so much of this book was unbelievable that it was like chewing cheap gum that won't hold together. For example, the deadly attackers who fail to assassinate the heroine--they fall over, etc.--make no impression not only on her, but apparently also on the rest of the hospital staff. No one seems even upset. In fact, no one in the hospital seems even to notice the deadly attempt. No one calls the police. It's as if a group of rowdy boys have misbehaved. The characterization was very uneven and "jerky," not smooth. Yes, the dialogue is funny--Davidson is rightfully famous for that. I laughed often. The hero and heroine fall in love and I just didn't care. You might, But then again, you probably won't.
