Summary: Wonderfully Entertaining!
Review: Shannon Parker, a high school English teacher, experiences what can mildly be called a 'jolt' when she is thrown into a different world. Her mirror image in this new world, Rhiannon, the High Priestess of the goddess Epona, had observed Shannon in her world and sought to take her place. Both got more than they bargained for.

While in this new world, Shannon finds out that Lady Rhiannon was spoiled, self indulgent, rude and willful: not a well liked woman at all. And she finds herself wedding a centaur, who obviously dislikes Rhiannon. But by being herself, Shannon wins over all those around her.

Sometime between falling in love, blessing the masses, and nursing victims sick with the plague, Shannon sees in her dreams a horrifying band of creatures murdering whole castles full of people, and mating with the women. Soon, Shannon's task becomes clear: she must stop these living, breathing atrocities.

Though the book has a minimum of actual mythology, the characters and storyline should keep any fantasy fan hooked. The way Cast wrote the centaurs was intriguing, and the characters are true to life and wonderful. While the ending sort of tapers off, as if the author became tired of plotting out every little thing, overall, the book was wonderful and monstrously entertaining.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Romance novel in disguise
Review: What a hoot! Talk about your anti-PC, wow was this thing funny!

The story is about Shannon Parker, a middle-aged English teacher who likes her summers off, her cloths expensive and her men tall and , ah, horse-like. Well work a little magic, an alter ego who wants a change of scenery and poof she gets just what she wants. She is now a goddess incarnate. All the fancy clothes she wants, works when she wants and what do you know her new husband is...well lets just say he's very horse-like.

An absolutely hilarious look at the inside of the female mind. From her "Just you try to dominate me! Please!" too drooling over her new jewelry collection you wonder if any stereotype was left unturned. But ladies no need to be offended, at least alone, every negative male stereotype is used and abused here also!

Funny, funny book! I heartily RECOMMEND it!
