I just wanted to touch base real quickly and first remind you about my contest--the end of the month is nearly upon us. I know, surprising. Don't forget to sign my guestbook for a second chance to win an autographed copy of KISS OF DECEIT! Yes, that's second chance...first chance you get just by being a member of my newsletter list!

I've received a few new reviews! Check them out:
KISS OF DECEIT:

"In Kiss of Deceit Patricia Rasey has written a fast moving story, full of action, smart repartee, titillating sensual and sexual scenes and very difficult to put down. Just when you think you have figured out the murderer’s identity, Rasey gives the story another twist.

The sequel to Kiss of Deceit, Eyes of Betrayal will be released in April 2003 in both ebook and paperback formats. I can’t wait to read it! "

Marnie Holmes

"Queen of suspense Patricia A. Rasey has another winner here. With seemingly effortless skill, this author has created an original, keenly suspenseful and deeply entertaining thriller that will make your heart skip and your pulse race to dangerous levels. Superb characterization, razor-sharp dialogue, and an excellent knowledge of police procedurals are only some of the fine qualities which make this a first-rate novel. The beginning will hook you. The middle will enslave your hands to the pages. The climax will leave you breathless. Definitely five stars!"

FACADE:

"Ms. Rasey has written a gritty, suspenseful tale of love, lust and murder. FAÇADE will keep you guessing with its unexpected twists and turns. Just when you think you know the outcome, Ms. Rasey throws a new spine-tingling curve your way. Fraught with tension, an unstoppable attraction, and a clinical look at the investigative process, there is never a dull moment! FAÇADE is outstanding, and a definite winner for mystery and romance lovers alike."

Cindy, from Love Romances

"Façade expertly weaves the reader through the lives of small town Pine Knot where all is not as it seems. The reader is feed tantalizing tidbits as slowly the secret is revealed. Along the way KC acknowledges his attraction for Sharalee, but his guilt and friendship with her father keeps them apart. Patricia A. Rasey’s, Façade, proves that what is seen is not always true.

Patricia A. Rasey has written a faced paced romantic thriller that will keep you guessing. In Façade, the reader experiences the pain of unforgiveness and the destruction of past mistakes covered up. The challenge for KC and Sharalee will be less the truth and more their ability to move forward and forgive."

Dena Kosche, from Women on Writing

"If you’ve never picked up a Patricia A. Rasey book, you are missing out on one of the brightest stars of the genre. And Façade is simply another amazing effort from this author. Rasey’s complex plot, wonderful characters, compelling love story, and edge-of-your-seat mystery, make Façade a book you won’t be able to put down.

Enjoy!"

Karen Troxel, from eBook Reviews Weekly


FEAR THE DARK:

"Gripping and intense, FEAR THE DARK is a perfect example of Ms. Rasey's gift for writing suspense. Each page winds the tension tighter and tighter - in both the investigation and in the chemistry between Jack and Cara - until the reader is held on a knife edge. As with her previous novels, the reader is never sure who will survive at the end of the story, or who the villain really is. This shorter novella length story in no way loses any of the detailed characterization or plot development of her longer books, and if it wasn't so graphically frightening, would make the perfect late night read before bed. But in this case, don't read it after dark, or things that slither in the night just might follow you into your dreams.

A compact story of suspense that carries a terrific punch, I highly recommend FEAR THE DARK for a spine-tingling read."

Terrie Figueroa for Romance Reviews Today.

"I enjoyed the snappy dialogue between Detective Jack Carter and Evidence Tech. Cara Banks...The serial killer was a surprise, but overall this was a very good read."

Mae Wells for All About Murder Reviews.
