Author Interview & Blog Only Giveaway - Saving Mercy by Abbie Roads

Saving Mercy
By Abbie Roads


First in a chilling new paranormal romantic suspense series from award-winning author Abbie Roads 

He’s found her at last

Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol linking the crime to his own horrific past—and only one woman could know what it means.  

Only to lose her to a nightmare

Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful—and in terrible danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he’s the one who can save her. He also knows he’s beyond redemption. But the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love is the antidote for blood—but is their bond strong enough to overcome the evil that stalks them?

Talking with Abbie Roads! 

When did you decide to become a writer? Why? 

In ’09 I reached a crossroads in my life. I realized I wasn’t happy and yet I had every reason to be happy. I had a great husband, a great house, two wonderful dogs, a job I loved. But something was missing. That missing piece was writing. I’d wanted to be a writer when I was a little kid, but too many things at the time made me believe I couldn’t do it.  

It wasn’t until ’09 that I got the courage to try. And believe me it took courage. I had no idea how to write a book. I mean no idea. I had to learn everything from the ground up. 

I’ve been so much happier finally following my dream. 


What are some of your favorite authors/books? 

Stephen King. He’s the master at it all. 

Thomas Harris –Author of the Hannibal Lecter series. I love these books because he takes such ugly subject matter and writes it using beautiful words.  

Tahereh Mafi—The Shatter Me Series. These are YA books. The series starts with Juliette being so damaged, yet she ultimately finds her power and triumphs. 

J. R. Ward—The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. If you love a good tormented alpha male—these are the books for you. They’re heavy in male point-of-view. All the brothers have a special place in my heart, but especially Wrath, Rhage, and Zsadist. 



Have you written a book where the ending surprised you? 

No… I write romance, so no matter what happens to my characters—terrible, horrible, awful things—I know I’m going to give them a happily-ever-after.  



Can readers find you at any Author/Reader conventions in the near future?

What is your favorite scene in your new release?

Author Interview & Blog Giveaway - Hunt The Dawn (Fatal Dreams book 2) by Abbie Roads


Hunt The Dawn
Fatal Dreams, Book 2
by Abbie Roads

Out of darkness and danger

You can’t hide your secrets from Lathan Montgomery—he can read your darkest memories. And while his special abilities are invaluable in the FBI’s hunt for a serial killer, he has no way to avoid the pain that brings him. Until he is drawn to courageous, down-on-her-luck Evanee Brown and finds himself able to offer her something he’s never offered another human being: himself. 

Dawns a unique and powerful love

Nightmares are nothing new to Evanee Brown. But once she meets Lathan, they plummet into the realm of the macabre. Murder victims are reaching from beyond the grave to give Evanee evidence that could help Lathan bring a terrifying killer to justice. Together, they could forge an indomitable partnership to thwart violence, abuse, and death—if they survive the forces that seek to tear them apart.

Excerpt - Race the Darkness (Fatal Dreams, book 1) by Abbie Roads

Race the Darkness
Fatal Dreams, Book 1
by Abbie Roads

Cursed with a terrible gift... 

Criminal investigator Xander Stone doesn’t have to question you—he can hear your thoughts. Scarred by lightning, burdened with a power that gives him no peace, Xander struggles to maintain his sanity against the voice that haunts him day and night—the voice of a woman begging him to save her. 

A gift that threatens to engulf them 

Isleen Walker has long since given up hope of escape from the nightmare of captivity and torture that is draining her life, her mind, and her soul. Except…there is the man in her feverish dreams, the strangely beautiful man who beckons her to freedom and wholeness. And when he comes, if he comes, it will take all their combined fury and faith to overcome a madman bent on fulfilling a deadly prophecy.
