Blood Bath & Beyond – ARC contest!
Thank you to everyone who commented! My randomly selected winners are Shanna L. and Emily and they’ve been contacted by email to claim their prizes. I also have three signed ARCs up on Goodreads right now if you want to enter to win — that draw closes at the end of the month. Thanks again!
My first review for BLOOD BATH & BEYOND (An Immortality Bites Mystery #1) has come in — and it’s a great one! RT BookReviews has given it Top Pick status, which makes me very happy! It’s my first Top Pick and I love that it’s for this book in particular. BB&B was a labor of love for me. It’s a book that wasn’t originally on my radar to write, but it had to be written. Sarah insisted! Now she returns August 7th in new genre that, I think, fits her perfectly. And I loved writing every page of this book.
Here’s what RT has to say…
4-1/2 star TOP PICK – Sarah Dearly and her vampire fiancé are back and in a new genre! Rowen jumps from paranormal romance to paranormal mystery without skipping a beat. In the beginning of the book, Rowen removes all of Sarah’s friends. You won’t miss them; Sarah is so lovable that you won’t notice. A child vamp and her caretaker also add a very fun layer to an already strong story. Here’s hoping Sarah will have many more adventures in her new series.
Sarah has had issues being engaged to a centuries-old master vampire before, but never anything like this. Thierry has agreed to take a job with the Ring, a secret council that keeps vampires in line. This job requires a commitment of 50 years of travel and danger. Sarah goes along on his first job, which is in Vegas. That sounds a lot more fun than it turns out to be, when Thierry’s life is threatened and he is framed for murder. Sarah must clear his name before the love of her life is staked and their chance of an immortal life together vanishes. (OBSIDIAN, Aug., 336 pp., $7.99)
I want to give away two signed ARCs (advance reading copies) of BB&B to a couple of randomly selected commenters. So please leave a comment! (if you’re reading this on a mirrored site, please visit the original post.) This contest is open internationally and will close on Sunday, June 24th at 9:00pm EST. Winners will be contacted via email. Good luck!

You had me at the title Blood Bath & Beyond. How could I NOT WANT to read this book. It has Vampires (which I have always LOVED), mystery, love, and Vegas (wonders if what happens in Vegas really stays in Vegas….lol). I would so love an advanced copy.

Absolutely love your work!!! I am not able to put your work down. When I start one of your books, it gets finished before anything else is done.
Comment
Thank you for the giveaway! I’m a big vamp fan, but you had me at the title. Anytime I see or hear anything that has to do with the store name Bed, Bath, & Beyond reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Peter was warned about the “& Beyond section,” which totally makes me crack up.
Comment
I am so ready for this book. When I read the first chapter I was hooked. It really missed Sarah. All others pale in comparison.
Comment
I can’t wait to read the book, its a wonderful escape to everyday life and on my must read list. Lets see if today turns out lucky for me
