Author P.G. Shriver has stopped by today with an excerpt for the Dead Perfect Blog Tour hosted by Young Adult Novel Reader.
MEL: My lifelong dreams never included falling in love. Graduating top of the class, going to college somewhere far away and starting a life in a place where my alcoholic mother could never find me were the first three goals on my list. Then the unexpected auto accident with Mother, after her regular doses of vodka, altered all of that. With her gone, my life and my perspective changed forever.
DAVIS: Desperate to find Joanie so I could break free, I returned to my old school. The search led me to her, my Aphrodite, a familiar lost look in her soulful eyes. Fantasies of her forced reasoning from my mind. I had to meet her! Once fallen, would her love for me survive the ghostly secrets haunting us?
REVIEW:
Oh goodness! What to say about this book? I'm SO glad that I decided to read this book for this tour. I was such a great change of pace to the "normal" paranormal books out there. I loved the first person format, switching back and forth between the main characters. The author clearly defined who was speaking where, so you don't get confused as to who is actually talking. I loved the authors writing style so much that I found myself at the end before I even knew I was close! And that ending! Oh my goodness! I never saw that coming... The twists and turns in this book almost leave you with whiplash, but you enjoy every last minute of it :) If you are a lover a paranormal and want something "different"...this book is for you!
P.G. currently lives in Texas with her husband, daughter and several animals. She works as an instructor at a local college.
P.G. enjoys reading, writing, cooking, walking, horseback riding and spending time with her family and friends.
