Today I'm over @ Dear Author with my review of the first book in a new urban fantasy series I've been circling for awhile. Written in Red is the first in Anne Bishop's Others series. A string of solid reviews induced me to give it a shot, and I'm really glad I did.

After managing to get my hands on an ARC, I found myself surprised and pleased with this unique fantasy. You can read my review here . As the release date approached, I invited Alex to participate in an interview and giveaway here on the site and, despite her crazy busy schedule, she kindly accepted. Enjoy!
