I’m so excited about this one!
Wendy Roberts has a new book out, a fabulous, fast-paced paranormal mystery called THE REMAINS OF THE DEAD (how great is that title, really?) I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this book, and you don’t want to miss it. It’s about a professional crime-scene cleaner named Sadie who has the uncanny ability to speak to the dead. Wendy did a lot of research into the fascinating, arcane (and often gross) world of crime scene clean-up when writing the novel, and she clearly knows her stuff!
But don’t just take my word for it. How about Romantic Times, who gave The Remains of the Dead four and a half stars:
“Roberts has a unique gift: She makes talking to the dead as natural as talking to your neighbor over a cup of coffee. Sadie Novak, who cleans up crime scenes for a living, is a charming new heroine with a great deal of heart who helps stranded spirits and solves crimes. Sadie and hunky ex-cop Zack make a delightful odd couple. Here’s hoping she comes back soon.”
And look at the great review she got from New York Times bestselling author, Allison Brennan (full text here):
Wendy Roberts makes us not only care about Sadie and the dead people she helps, but takes what could have been a gruesome story and made it fun and light. The breezy voice and self-deprecating humor keep the story moving, the mystery is compelling, and the ending provides a twist that I didn’t see coming. This is a fast, comfortable, solid read from a gifted storyteller. I can hardly wait for the next installment!
Definitely a read to look forward to. And in honor of Wendy’s release, I’ll be giving away one copy of her book on this blog on each of the next four days. Just leave your comment here to enter into the giveaway.
Another book out today is the newest installment in Deidre Knight’s Parallel series: PARALLEL DESIRE. This one is the book about Jake. Now, if you loved Jake like I loved Jake in the last book (Parallel Seduction), this is definitely the story you’ve been waiting for. I went to a chat with Deidre on Monday night, and heard her talk about how strongly she felt for Jake all throughout Parallel Seduction, and how she wasn’t necessarily sure whether or not Hope would choose him or Scott when writing it! I can’t wait to see what becomes of him now! (Also, she let on that this is the big moment for Jared and Kelsey!) It’s all been leading up to this, to borrow from television promo spots. I can’t wait to read it!
(Nice cover, huh? Both Deidre and I get covers with rose tattoos on them. I sense a theme…)
