Dee Savoy

Almost two years after my second book in my Body series came out, two new and rather delicious reviews have surfaced. The first, posted at Michelle Lauren’s blog blew me away. The review was totally unexpected and absolutely wonderful. Here’s my favorite part:

“Why I Love the Book
Must I count the ways? I haven’t read any mysteries/suspense novels for a long time, but when I received Body of Lies from Ms. Savoy I couldn’t put it down. Suspense is this author’s forte. This story kept me on the edge of my seat. The characters aren’t cardboard cutouts: Although Alex was victimized as a child, she is not a victim. Although Zachery broke her heart years ago, the author doesn’t vilify him. Both characters learn from their mistakes and become better individuals.”

Just as I was basking in the glow, I came upon another review from Reading While Black. Again I was surprised and pleased. Here’s my favorite part of that review:

“One thing I can say for Savoy is that she doesn’t hold punches. This isn’t your Disneyland version New York or of a serial killer. She didn’t hold back on the reality of violent, destructive forces and gut-wrenching circumstances that affect the lives of everyday, ordinary people–especially your average cop.”

Ah, if only I could manage to get the smile off my face.
