From Reviewer/Bookseller John Charles: I was going through the December issue of Library Journal – which has their best books of 2025. Under the Crime Fiction section for best 2025 books is THUS WITH A KISS I DIE. Congratulations!
!!! Dears! It’s Library Journal! I grew up haunting the library, checking out piles of books to read, loving the quiet and the stories and the sheer abundance of knowledge contained in that building. Now Library Journal called THUS WITH A KISS I DIE one of the best of 2025? I’m ecstatic. Please for a moment share my joy!
“If you’re into swoony romance + ghostly sass + a dash of murder mystery? Verona’s calling.💖” — Novera Goodreads reviewer.

Christina Dodd
New York Times bestselling author of TEACH THE TORCHES TO BURN with its beautiful new cover…which (cough) you are welcome to pre-order. 😘
Thought for the holidays: How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you are on.
My name is Rosie, Rosaline if I’m in trouble, and I’m the daughter of Romeo and Juliet. Yes, that Romeo and Juliet. No, they didn’t die in the tomb. Romeo and Juliet are alive and well and the parents of seven kids. I’m the oldest, with the emphasis on ‘old’—a certified spinster at twenty, and happy to stay that way. It’s not easy to keep your taste for romance with parents like mine. Picture it—constant monologues, passionate declarations, fighting, making up, making out . . . it’s exhausting.
