Welcome to this week's Good News....


REVIEWS

Maree Anderson
Christina Phillips reviews Scent of a Man. - Nice....





Jess Anastasi
Severance has a fantastic review (4.5 lips) over at Two Lips Reviews.  Here is part of the review:


"The unique Sci-Fi perspective Jess Anastasi lends to the age-old demons vs. angels conflict in Sanctuary and Severance is fresh and unique. She brings it out of the Divine Realm into the post-apocalyptic reality of the humans who survive End Time on a destroyed Earth. Although Severance doesn't quite rise to the overall excellence of Sanctuary, moments in this sequel echo the same emotional impact that made Sanctuary such a powerful read. Ms. Anastasi has that rare ability to draw a reader to the heart of a character's emotions and insecurities that so many authors wish they possessed. Her main characters are real, likeable, and easy to care about, and her sex scenes – better described as love scenes – are near poetry, they're so beautifully and eloquently written."

RELEASE DATE & BLURB


Keri Arthur
Darkness Devours, the third of the Dark Angels series, is slated for release June 5th 2012! Here is the cover blurb (or copy as its known):

Half-werewolf, half-Aedh Risa Jones can enter the realm between life and death, and she can see the Reapers who collect the souls of the dead. Now, she is using her gifts—and the investigative know-how of a man who broke her heart—to find a cabal searching for the power to control time, reality, and fate. And this is besides her work for the Vampire Council, half of whom want her dead.
But for now the Council needs her alive. Someone is killing blood-whore addicted vampires, and Risa must find the guilty party. If she succeeds, she may finally convince the council to lift the execution order on her life. But before she succeeds, she must first survive…


Jess Anastasi
Savior has a release date of 3rd October 2011! This is the Sanctuary tie-in novella that will be part of the Noble blog tour in November.
