Release Day! ABSOLUTION by Susannah Sandlin (& Kindle G*veaway)

Mirren here. I don't know what the (bleep) I'm supposed to say. I don't do this kind of (bleep).  Um. Glory?
Good grief. Move over, vampire. I swear your social skills really suck, you know?
You cursed.
"Suck" doesn't count. Okay, so our book is coming out today, right, and Susannah's, like, EVERYWHERE. So she wanted us to tell you the links so you can enter and comment and all that stuff. You do the first one, vampire. Stop scowling. I'll make your favorite dessert if you behave.

Does that mean you should go off and give five-star reviews to books you hated? Absolutely not. You can click one star if that's how you felt about it. Or you can only review books you like. That's the reader's perogative. But if...
