The Reinvented Miss Bluebeard (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
Eve Bluebeard has decided not to follow in her infamous father's footsteps. Instead, she is helping Frankenstein's monster get over his fear of talking to girls, and providing marital counseling to a Van Helsing who has fallen in love with a vampire. Papa Bluebeard wants grandchildren, however, and to that end, he throws a spanner into the works with results that are unexpected by all involved. Minda Webber has written a funny little romp, full of horror story/literary references and witty wordplay. Sometimes Webber tries a little too hard for the joke, but for the most part she can be forgiven because the end result is satisfying. She is feisty and reasonably intelligent, her father is an amusing foil, and the other characters are delicious seasoning. There is romance here, and some explicit description so those who are easily offended may not care for it, but even though the sex was in one aspect implausible at best, it was was still fun to read.
