Top 10 Reasons to Check Out The Girl in the Sand

If you're looking for a great new read this spring, I highly recommend L.T. Vargus and Tim McBain's latest thriller, The Girl in the Sand. These two authors constantly amaze me with their unique series, and the Violet Darger series that includes The Girl in the Sand is no exception. Here are the top 10 reasons you should check it out:

1. It's a story in which all your dreams come true. Scratch that—did I say "dreams"? I meant nightmares. All your nightmares come true.
2. It contains all the thrills and chills and puppy dog quills that you'd expect from a Vargus and McBain book, plus some.
3. Even though it's part of a series, you don't have to read the books in order to understand what's going on. You can start right with The Girl in the Sand, which is Book 3. If you'd rather dip your toes more gently, you can try Book 1.5 or 2.5, both of which are novellas with all the same perks as the longer Books 1, 2, and 3.
4. After reading it, you'll pause whenever you see greying ground beef. (Think that's too gross for you? Well, read the book and find out if it is!)
5. You'll get sucked in from the beginning, and the author's tact for building suspense means you won't want to stop until after the crescendo settles. Assuming you consider that a good thing.
6. There are kickass heroines who don't need a gun to drop elbows when the need arises.
7. There are unexpected points of view plunked into the middle of the story that suddenly give the reader "aha!" moments. Yes, please!
8. It's quirky as hell, in ways you've never imagined could be quirky.
9. The cover is gorgeous. Serious, look at it. Look at it!!
10. And, the most awesome part of all: Right now The Girl in the Sand is available for free through Kindle Unlimited, OR you can buy it for just $4.99 on Amazon! The first book in the series, Dead End Girl, has the same fantastic deal.
