From
Publisher’s Weekly:
“In
this entertaining series opener, Amsden (The Immortality Virus) introduces
readers to the eponymous Cassie, a decidedly mundane member of a magical
family. …Readers will enjoy Cassie’s fish-out-of-water struggles as she fights
magical threats with little more than experience and bravado.”

Love is a Verb
by Christine Amsden
From our earliest pre-teen days, chatting about boys and
wondering over the mystery that is romance, we've tried to define love. We've
asked our girlfriends (who didn't know any better than we did), and our parents
(who may also not have known). We watched TV and we read books. But it seems to
mean something a little different to everyone, so what exactly is it?
I won't pretend like I know the answer better than the rest
of you, but I've spent the past few years of my life writing a romantic series
with one idea in mind: Love is a verb. I know – it's not a definition, it's a
part of speech – but that's the best I've got.
Love is something you do. It's the act of loving, and it's a
little different for everyone because we're all a little different. We want and
need different things.
Love is a choice you make, every day. It's thinking of
someone else's needs before your own, and considering their feelings as at
least as important as yours. It's making a big sacrifice because what he needs
is more important than what you want. It's about making little sacrifices just
because, well, you may not like kale but he does so every once in a while you
make it for dinner.
Chemistry is great. Aside from feeling good, it makes the
choice to love someone a little bit easier. Good thing, too, because loving can
be a difficult thing to do.
A lot of people say the words, but actions speak louder.
That's why I get frustrated with romance novels that hinge on the utterance of
those three magic words – you know which ones I mean. :)
Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective is the first
book in a four-part fantasy series. Cassie is the only ungifted member of a
magical family, trying to earn a living as a “normal” detective in a town where
everyone knows her family's reputation. So of course, she's going to get pulled
into a paranormal investigation.
Cassie
is extremely attracted to powerful, sexy, and dangerous Evan Blackwood. Who
wouldn't be? But will she choose to love him? After all, love is a verb.
