“As part of the Wyndham Werewolf Pack, Derik has always gotten along with his best friend and Alpha Pack Leader, Michael Wyndham. Lately, however, Derik has been getting fidgety and bad tempered and Michael decides it's time for Derik to take a trip. A fellow werewolf named Antonia has the ability to foretell the future, and she's never wrong. When she "sees" the reincarnation of the evil sorceress Morgan LeFay running around in California, Antonia fortells that Morgan must be taken care of or she will destroy the world. Dispatched to California to kill Morgan, who now goes by the name of Sara Gunn, Derik finds himself attracted to the somewhat unconventional personality and killer red hair and blue eyes. Derik defies the Pack and takes off on a cross country journey to undo the prophecy before outside agents kill Sara/Morgan.”

“ 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. ”
“I love Maryjanice Davidson. This book was alright, but not as good at Queen Betsy!”

“Quick and easy read. In typical MJ Davidson style this book was light, funny and full of love. Derik is a werewolf that was sent to save the world by killing Sara, who is the reincarnation of Morgan Le Fay and is suppose to destroy the world. The is on problem, Derik can't seem to get close enough to Sara in his attempt to killer her. From there the story takes off in a cross country adventure. The Queen Betsy series by MJ Davidson is much better but this was still a fun read. ”

This book is an easy read and very simple in its story. Even though I didn't really like it too much, I have a thing about putting down a book once I have started reading it, unless it it totally awful!”
