"A supernatural mystery with guts, brains, and soul. Maria Lima writes hot action and spicy romance with a biting sense of humor, all deep in the heart of Texas. You'll be sucked in."
-- Dana Cameron, author of More Bitter than Death

"Forget Transylvania and New Orleans. In Matters of the Blood, Maria Lima moves the supernatural to small-town Texas, with nosy neighbors and family eccentrics and a whole lot of magic. Her characters may be psychics, vampires, and werewolves, but first and foremost, they're poeple you'll want to read more about."
--Toni L.P. Kelner, co-editor of Many Bloody Returns

"Maria Lima has created a funny, sexy, mysterious series, and the best part of all is watching her heroine grow into her own powers."
--Nancy Pickard, author of The Virgin of Small Plains
