| Praise for Maria Lima
"Funny, sexy, mysterious, and lots of fun to read."
—Nancy Pickard, author of THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS
"Keira Kelly is a complicated woman. Sensitive, a bit lazy, a woman who wears jeans and boots in her native Texas but has also spent substantial time clubbing in London, Keira has been given one mission by her supernatural family; to guard and direct her sad-sack human cousin. To her chagrin, Keira fails in that mission, and the consequences of that failure form a book that is full of more interesting surprises than a candy store."
—Charlaine Harris, author of the award-winning Southern Vampire series
"Keira Kelly kicks butt and MATTERS OF THE BLOOD is 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 ASHES AND BONES
"Forget Transylvania and New Orleans. In MATTERS OF THE BLOOD, Maria Lima moves the supernatural to small-town Texas, with nosey neighbors and family eccentrics and a whole lot of magic. Her characters may be psychics, vampires, and werewolves, but first and foremost, they're people you'll want to read more about."
—Toni L.P. Kelner, co-editor of MANY BLOODY RETURNS
