SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive // "If Books Could Kill"
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all wished to be transported into our favorite books\, especially those with a happy ending. But what happens when it’s not such a happy ending…rather\, a horror-filled one instead? Romance lovers meet the crime thriller obsessed in one fantastic debut from self-proclaimed “grown-up theater kid” Kate Eberle. Bringing to life the inner yearnings of all romance (and thriller) lovers in If Books Could Kill\, join us in celebrating Kate’s Charleston stop on her book tour with a trip to the Main Reading Room. \nPurchase Tickets HERE!  \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nAbout the Book \nA Novel Love Story meets Love in the Time of Serial Killers in this rom-com following Roxie Mitchell\, an adventure-loving romance reader who finds herself trapped in a meet-cute turned murderous. When Roxie makes a tongue-in-cheek wish to live out the plot of her favorite author’s next novel\, she has romance in mind—namely\, the sweet\, safe\, swoon-worthy storylines Anna Matthews is known for. It should be a dream come true when her wish is granted\, and she finds herself swept into a first date with a handsome stranger who seems designed to take her breath away. Except for one little hiccup: That handsome stranger tries to take her breath away. Literally. With a knife. The thing is\, Roxie\, may be the new Anna Matthews protagonist—but this time\, Anna is writing a crime thriller. Thrown into a perilous genre she’s never read\, Roxie is desperate for help. So when her escape takes her straight into the path of Grant Hoffman\, an anxious English professor with a convenient love of crime novels\, she decides that kidnapping a grown man is a small price to pay for her own survival. Together\, Roxie and Grant navigate a madcap story in which the lines between fiction and reality blur. They’ll find out if they have what it takes to make it to The End—or maybe even Happily Ever After. \nAbout the Author \nKate Eberle studied journalism at Boston University before rediscovering her love of fiction. She lives and writes in Connecticut\, where she spends the rest of her time listening to audiobooks like it’s her job (it literally is) and being the ultimate menace to society: a grown-up Theatre Kid. If Books Could Kill is her first novel.
