Marisa Gaither of Reading to Distraction published a five-star review of Sanctuary, saying, “Varna continues to balance intrigue, romance, and the over-arching storyline.” I was happy to hear that the story held a few surprises for her. Thanks, Marisa!

The release of Thief of Hearts, the novella-length prequel to The Choosing, is just nine days away. ARCs have already gone out. If you signed up to be an early reviewer and haven’t received the e-mail containing the digital ARCs, please let me know.

Don’t forget that Thief of Hearts is available for pre-order, if you want to get it the moment it’s released, or you can grab the print edition now. Tracy Ehlers of Paranormal, Magic and Mischief has already reviewed it, calling it a “wonderfully written fast paced tale.” Thanks, Tracy!
