There’s a lovely review of Siren Beat/Roadkill over at Bibliophile Stalker, which is rapidly becoming one of my favourite blogs to stalk because of its interesting links round-ups.

If Roadkill is the deviant of the urban fantasy label, Siren Beat feels right at home with the paranormal romance genre it’s usually mistaken for. Roberts follows the tropes of the sub-genre: the angsty heroine, seemingly unbeatable odds, and tantalizing sex. Siren Beat is all about kicking ass and teasing you with sensuality, make no mistake about that. What makes this piece unique is its length–other writers might need a novel to draw out their entire story but Roberts accomplish everything and much more in the span of a novelette. Is this a groundbreaking piece? Hell no. But it accomplishes what it sets out to do, without milking readers for all their time and money.

I like that He also discusses the effect of the cover and the presentation of the double-novelette format with great humour and energy.

As always, remember that you can purchase Siren Beat/Roadkill from Twelfth Planet Press for a mere AUS$12/$15 depending on which part of the world you live in.
