At Mysterious Galaxy (via Crowdcast) Mary Pearson, Stephanie Garber, and I will talk about: To Love and Die in

You are so welcome! I'm just sorry it took me so long to log on and accept it! The perils of deadlines. :-)

I just finished Grave Mercy yesterday, and it was so amazing! :) I can't wait to read the sequel and see Sybella's side of the story. I was so curious about her in this one. Thanks for writing such an awesome book! Also, have you ever read Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder? In some small ways Grave Mercy reminded me of it.
