1st Blogoversary Giveaway - Spookalicious!

This month's competition is SPOOKALICIOUS in celebration of my 1st Blogoversary and in keeping with Halloween. In my year of blogging I've made wonderful friends across the world, received loads of support & encouragement, developed a loyal following of readers & had heaps of fun so to say a heartfelt thank you Two Lucky Readers will win the book of their choice from above.  There may also be a surprise or two during the month as my eldest son turns 18 on the 31st October. A Halloween baby (and how!!)

This month I've included a choice of books with a paranormal theme from authors I love and authors I'd love to try. (I also have trouble picking just one book so my solution is to leave the decision to you lol.)

Good luck choosing! All books are brand new and the winners choice will be purchased by me from The Book Depository in the UK or the US specifically for the winner.

Blaze of Memory by Nalini Singh

Dev Santos discovers her unconscious and battered, with no memory of who she is. All she knows is that she’s dangerous. Charged with protecting his people’s most vulnerable secrets, Dev is duty-bound to eliminate all threats.

Stripped of her memories by a shadowy oppressor, and programmed to carry out cold-blooded murder, Katya Haas is fighting desperately for her sanity itself. Her only hope is Dev. But how can she expect to gain the trust of a man who could very well be her next target? For in this game, one must die.

Shadowlight - a Novel of the Kindred by Lynn Viehl

On The Edge by Ilona Andrews

The Edge book 1

(September 29th, paperback)

Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny). Only Edgers like Rose can easily travel from one world to the next, but they never truly belong in either.

Rose thought if she practiced her magic, she could build a better life for herself. But things didn't turn out how she planned, and now she works a minimum wage, off the books job in the Broken just to survive. Then Declan Camarine, a blueblood noble straight out of the deepest part of the Weird, comes into her life, determined to have her (and her power).

But when a terrible danger invades the Edge from the Weird, a flood of creatures hungry for magic, Declan and Rose must work together to destroy them, or the beasts will devour the Edge and everyone in it . . .

 

Give Up The Ghost by Megan Crewe
(15th September, hardcover)

Cass McKenna much prefers the company of ghosts over "breathers." Ghosts are uncomplicated and dependable, and they know the dirt on everybody... and Cass loves dirt. She's on a mission to expose the dirty secrets of the poseurs in her school.

But when the vice president of the student council discovers her secret, Cass's whole scheme hangs in the balance. Tim wants her to help him contact his recently deceased mother, and Cass reluctantly agrees.

As Cass becomes increasingly entwined in Tim's life, she's surprised to realize he's not so bad--and he needs help more desperately than anyone else suspects. Maybe it's time to give the living another chance...

One can time-travel.

One can raise the dead.

One can tell the future.

And one can possess another human.

With no other family and a life spent in and out of institutions, Aden and the souls have become friends. But now, they’re causing him all kinds of trouble.
