What are they saying about The Opposite of Life?

"It’s certainly a most unusual vampire novel. Lissa Wilson, librarian, geek, and young woman about town,... seems to be the magnet for trouble. ... She’s a wonderful character; not because she’s an heroic supergirl, but because she rings true. If you can get this book, do." - Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse books. Read Charlaine Harris' blog here.

"A well made plot with a killer (literally) ending" - Crime author Kerry Greenwood.

"For me, there are three kinds of books: books I don’t like, books I like and books I like so much that I can’t wait to push them on my friends saying, “You HAVE to read this!” The Opposite of Life? Well, that goes in the last category." - JM, The Book Stacks. Read the whole review here.

"...an absolute humdinger of a first novel." - Prudence Russell, Aurealis. Read the whole review here.

"Harris shows a deft descriptive touch and an eye for setting... Melissa has the right combination of fragility and sass to carry the story." - Jason Nahrung, The Courier-Mail, 9 February 2008. Read the whole review here (pdf).

"There's plenty of blood and gore in Harris' book, plenty of violence as well, but you don't get dragged into the depths of despair for long. There's lots of humour in the mix as well for counterbalance. Lissa's humour is very dry and dead-pan (pardon the pun) while The Guy in the Hawaiian shirt is her perfect foil." - Edwina Harvey, Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #40

I remember screaming very loudly. In TV shows, that’s where the ad break comes in, while some ninny is screaming her head off. No ad breaks in life, though.

Read the first six chapters!
