A great review & a contest!

I'm pleased as punch to discover a review of Remains of the Dead over at myshelf.com. Here are the highlights:

The Remains of the Dead is a clever, fast-paced mystery with a paranormal twist. Ms. Roberts delivers tight, crisp dialogue, an exciting plot, and true to life characters. I especially liked the bickering between Sadie and Maeva, and the potential of romance between Sadie and Zack. This story was so enjoyable that I didn’t want it to end. Fortunately, the next book in the series is due out in December 2008, and it’s one I will eagerly await. If you like CSI, Medium or Ghost Whisperer, you’ll absolutely love The Remains of the Dead.

To read the full review click HERE.

I've been blessed with a number of great reviews so to celebrate I'm having a contest. To be entered to win, simply mention The Remains of the Dead on your blog or site and link the title back here to me (or to the Amazon page selling Remains) then come back here and tell me in the comments that you've done it. I'll be making the draw Jan. 31st and the winner will walk away with a couple signed copies of Remains plus a mystery gift :)

I don't have a blog that I can spread the word about your book but it looks wonderful. It is on my wishlist since I've seen reviews of it and I added your blog to my google reader.

Yay! I finally got a copy of Remains of the Dead! It's next up on my TBR pile.

I gave you some link-love, Wendy. Great news about the reviews. It's all whetting my appetite so when I finally open the book I'll be in a reading frenzy. ;o)
