Free lurve
Sherrilyn Kenyon wrote the first paranormal romance I ever read, the one that brought me back to romance after a years-long hiatus, the one that made me say, “Holy crap, I didn’t know you could do that in a romance novel, but now that I do, I know what I should be writing.” While a couple of the Dark-Hunter books and associated spinoffs haven’t rung my bell that resoundingly, she’s created a cast of characters with an ongoing epic that are autobuys for me.
For lurve of Acheron, I’m going to renege upon my 20-year vow to never buy a hardcover romance novel.
In prep for the August 5 release of Acheron, St. Martin’s is offering up an e-version of Seize the Night for free (in a variety of formats—instructions can be found at the link). Offer valid through July 3, 2008.
You may have heard I’m just slightly herocentric.

Nonetheless, Seize the Night has one of those rare heroines who demanded her share of my attention. I still crack up every time I hear “Tabby.” She kills vampires. She owns a naughty novelty shop. And she’s paired up with the prissiest, uptightest, and stuckupest of the red-headed cow’s minions, who spends a great deal of time flummoxed that he finds anything about this tacky broad to be appealing.
Oh, and it’s also the book in which everything went to shit with Nick (all that misdirected rage and refusal to listen to reason for the last six books or so? uncool, dude), which I imagine will warrant at least a line or two in Ash’s book…
