Book Giveaway: The Spider

I'm currently working on a sequel to my novel The Spider. I've just passed 60K words in my manuscript, and am excited that I've almost finished the first draft! To celebrate, I'm giving away one signed copy of the first book in the series. If you'd like to be in with a chance to win the book, leave a comment below or share this post on Twitter tagging me @Maria_Savva.

I'll pick a winner at random on the 30th April.

Good luck!


Book description:

‘No one’s ever come out of that house alive...’

What lurks behind the door of 8 Goldfern Road?

Are you brave enough to step inside?

By entering the sinister house, George and Glen become entangled in a dangerous battle of wills.

“The Spider” is a story of obsession, infidelity, and broken dreams.

This darkly humorous mystery will appeal to fantasy and romance readers as well as those who love to hate spiders!





What People Are Saying:


"...this story is spooky, mysterious, intriguing and thought-provoking. The characters are well-developed, realistic and believable, despite the fantasy /paranormal story line." ~ Julie Elizabeth Powell. [Full review: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1I06BL...]

"The paranormal thriller and suspense elements are also very well handled, propelling the story forward and adding shades of darkness and horror to the everyday trial and tribulations of the women and men caught up, sometimes more or less literally, in a spider’s web of deceit, danger, lust, and greed." ~ Maria Haskins [Full review: https://mariahaskins.wordpress.com/20...]

"I will never look at spiders the same after this fantastic read! ~ Sheri A. Wilkinson [Full review: https://www.amazon.com/review/R5U3ZB1...]

After reading this I will definitely think twice before squishing any more spiders as I don't want what happens in the book to happen to me......EVER! ~ Laura Smith [Full review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...]

"The Spider", latest novel by Maria Savva, has to be one of my favourites by this talented author. I have enjoyed all of her work - novels and short stories - but this one , with its blend of paranormal horror and normality is a real page turner. ~ A. E. Thomas [Full review: https://aethomas2005.wordpress.com/20...]

This story shifts between the intertwining lives of friends with their own agendas, and a psychopathic man happy to take advantage of those friends. In a sense, this is a cautionary tale of what could happen when greed and self-interest drive your actions. So read this one, and the next time you find yourself getting a little greedy, remember The Spider. ~ Darcia Helle [Full review: http://quietfurybooks.com/blog/bookre...]

Thanks, Darcie! I've almost finished the first draft... just a few more chapters I think. Then the hard part - editing!


message 8: by Darcia (new)

Darcia Helle LOL! You need to set a limit for the number of times you're allowed to re-read and make corrections!


message 9: by Julie (new)

Julie Powell Editing isn't as bad as proofreading...that's where the gremlins lurk.

Yes, proofreading can be very frustrating, especially when you've read over something at least 100 times and still find a typo! :)
