Free Book Friday Giveaway: Midnight Reflections by Katrina Michaels

This week I have a book that rolls vampires and murder mystery all into one- a book you're sure to enjoy if you love vampire books and mystery books.

Here's the book description:

All Tara Daston wanted was a fun night out dancing with her boyfriend. Getting killed was certainly the last thing she ever expected and waking back up three days later as a vampire was the last thing she ever wanted.

And just when she finally begins adjusting to her new life, a friend is killed by a creature nobody can identify. At first, she tries to move on because, after all, she's just a newly risen vampire who was still trying to learn about existing as the undead. But despite it all, she can't stop thinking about her friend. As more killings happen, she realizes that she can't ignore it any longer.

Deciding to investigate a little, she meets Tom Duncan, the lead agent of the Preternatural Investigation Agency, who is not amused at her interference. Whether it's because they are both vampires or because he keeps treating her as if she's five years old, but Tara really enjoys riling the agent. Also, now that she's gotten involved, she doesn't want to stop. And when the killer notices her and is intrigued, she no longer has any choice, forcing her to work together with Tom and the rest of the agency to stop the murders.

Free Book Friday Giveaway: Jeweled by Anya Bast

I have a fabulous book to offer for Free Book Friday this week- Jeweled by Anya Bast.

Here's a description of the book:

A new series of erotic magic and fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author.

In the Court of Edaeii, magic-imbued Evangeline is rewarded for her gift in manipulating emotion with a sapphire stone set into the perfect curve of her lower back. Her greatest rival in the royal court is the enigmatic Anatol, instilled with the power of illusion. He may best her in magic, but he is her absolute equal in passion.

They share something else-they're both targets of low-born revolutionaries. Rescued by Gregorio, the brilliant revolutionary mastermind, they're given sanctuary. But in this warm refuge, Evangeline soon finds herself torn between the magic of one man she has always desired, and the excitingly new and radical moves of another. For her, there is only one choice: indulge in pleasure without limits.

Free Book Friday : Sparks by Laura Bickle

If you loved Embers you are really going to enjoy Sparks.

Laura Bickle's Sparks is even better than the first book Embers.

My review will be up tomorrow, be sure to check it out. This book is fabulous.

Here is the book description from the back of the book:

WITHOUT A TRACE

Anya Kalinczyk is the rarest type of psychic medium, a Lantern, who holds down a day job as an arson investigator with the Detroit Fire Department—while working 24/7 to exterminate malicious spirits haunting a city plagued by unemployment and despair. Along with her inseparable salamander familiar, Sparky, Anya has seen, and even survived, all manner of fiery hell—but her newest case sparks suspicions of a bizarre phenomenon that no one but her eccentric team of ghost hunters might believe: spontaneous human combustion.

After fire consumes the home of elderly Jasper Bernard, Anya is stunned to discover his remains—or, more precisely, a lack of them; even the fiercest fires leave some trace of their victims—and she is sure this was no naturally occurring blaze. Soon she’s unearthed a connection to a celebrity psychic who preys on Detroit’s poor, promising miracles for money. But Hope Solomon wants more—she’s collecting spirits, and in a frantic race against time, Anya will face down an evil adversary who threatens her fragile relationship with her lover, her beloved Sparky’s freshly hatched newts, and the wandering souls of the entire city.

Free Book Friday The Moses Expedition by Juan Gomez-Jurado

Free Book Friday is back and this week I have a copy of The Moses Expedition

It's not the usual Fang-tastic Books type of giveaway but it is different and looks interesting though not my style at all. I received it for review but think it better suited for someone who will actually enjoy reading it.

Description:

After fifty years in hiding, the Nazi war criminal known as the Butcher of Spiegelgrund has finally been tracked down by Father Anthony Fowler, a CIA operative and a member of the Vatican’s secret service. He wants something from the Butcher —a candle covered in filigree gold that was stolen from a Jewish family many years before.

But it isn't the gold Fowler is after. As Fowler holds a flame to the wax, the missing fragment of an ancient map that uncovers the location of the Ten Commandments given to Moses is revealed. Soon Fowler is involved in an expedition to Jordan set up by a reclusive billionaire. But there is a traitor in the group who has ties to terrorist organizations back in the United States, and who is patiently awaiting the moment to strike.

From wartime Vienna to terrorist cells in New York and a lost valley in Jordan, The Moses Expedition is a thrilling read about a quest for power and the secrets of an ancient world.

Sound like something you'd like?

Free Book Friday: Dark Oracle by Alayna Williams

For those of you who entered to win a copy of Dark Oracle by Alayna Williams but didn't here's your second chance.

I ended up with 2 copies of this book- 1 the author sent to me and 1 the publisher sent. I am keeping the copy I read but I am being generous and offering my second copy to you guys (which is good because I am a book hoarder, I need to learn to let go :-).

So for this week's Free Book Friday you have the chance to win this amazing book full of rich detail and lots of info about Tarot and Tarot Cards.

Here's the book blurb:

TARA SHERIDAN HAS A GIFT . . . AND IT ALMOST KILLED HER.

As a criminal profiler, Tara used science and her intuitive skill at Tarot card divination to track down the dangerous and depraved, including the serial killer who left her scarred from head to toe. Since that savage attack, Tara has been a recluse. But now an ancient secret society known as Delphi’s Daughters has asked for her help in locating missing scientist Lowell Magnusson. And Tara, armed with her Tarot deck, her .38, and a stack of misgivings, agrees to try.

Tara immediately senses there is far more at stake than one man’s life. At his government lab in the New Mexico desert, Magnusson had developed groundbreaking technology with terrifying potential. Working alongside the brusque but charismatic agent Harry Li, Tara discovers that Magnusson’s daughter, Cassie, has knowledge that makes her a target too. The more Tara sees into the future, the more there is to fear. She knows she has to protect Cassie. But there may be no way to protect herself—from the enemies circling around her, or from the long-buried powers stirring to life within. . . .

Be sure to visit the Alayna Williams at her new blog devoted to the book- http://delphisdaughters.blogspot.com/

Free Book Friday: 3 Signed Books by Yvonne Navarro

Three books to give away this week, all by Yvonne Navarro

Elektra

Elektra Natcios died, once. But the beautiful, dangerous heiress was resurrected and recruited by a mysterious group known as The Chaste, who trained Elektra in the art of combat, then cast her out when her anger and lust for vengence became more than they could bear. Now she works as a paid assassin, the very best that money can buy, one who is notorious for her lethal speed and precision. Elektra is careful to treat each assignment as just another job, providing a service she can perform better than anyone else. When Elektra is hired by an unknown client to eliminate an attractive, friendly widower and his young daughter, she finds that things aren't so simple any more. Soon Elektra is single-handedly engaged in an all-out war with the powerful criminal organization known as The Hand for the lives of the man and the child - but the ultimate struggle may be for Elektra's soul...

That's Not My Name

A woman abducted. A frantic husband. And no one can prove she exists....

One snowy night, in a suburban parking lot, a man finds the quarry he's been stalking for months. And Nola Elidad finds herself imprisoned by a strangely caring kidnapper--who insists she is his lost wife. Soon, he says--when she's no longer sick--she will remember who she is. But Nola knows she isn't the woman he claims...or is she? A nightmare journey is about to begin, propelling her into the shifting shadows of her own memory....

Across town, Nola's husband of three months must admit to Detective Lucas Conroy that he knows nothing of his bride's former life. Nor, it seems, does anyone else--not her boss, not her doctor--or they're not saying. Who is Nola Elidad? Somehow, Conroy must find the answer, even if his search for the missing woman leads him into a dark past haunted by cruelty, subterfuge, and murder.

DeadTimes

One Woman...One Life...Nine Deaths... Born of an accursed union between a white trapper and a Hopi maiden, Mae Johnson nontheless loves her life. She loves life so much, in fact, that in the sunset of her life she bargains with infernal powers for more. But Mae should have known better than to think she'd get a straight deal from the Devil...

Free Book Friday: Vampireology

I have a treat for you today!

For this week's Free Book Friday I have 2 copies of Vampireology to give away!

Vampireology Book Description:

Explore (if you dare) the true history of the Fallen Ones — and follow the fate of a 1920s investigator lured by a beauty with violet eyes.

Long before the term vampire was born, long before Bram Stoker fictionalized this being’s ways, blood-drinking demons were banished to Earth by Michael’s host of Angels, or so the Bible describes. Now this rich, mesmerizing resource, written in 1900, sheds light on what happened hence to the three vampire bloodlines — especially the tortured souls known as the Belial. Interspersed are booklets, flaps, and letters between a young paranormal researcher who discovered the book in the 1920s and an oddly alluring woman who seeks his help.

Among the phenomena explored are:

* vampires’ genealogical origins, attributes, and range

* myths about the making of vampires

* secrets of vampires’ powers and shape-shifting skills

* tips for spotting vampires, protecting oneself, and fighting back

* case studies of famous vampires — and vampire hunters — through history

* a shocking overview of vampires "living" among us


I've had the chance to check this book out and it is awesome. If you've never had the chance to see one of the ology books you are missing out. Made like a scrapbook with notes, letters, and all kinds of things that fold out, open up and are added to the pages - it is a a treasure trove of vampire info that contains a storyline.

It really is like looking through someone's scrapbook, their notes and personal thoughts, letters, everything about their research. I love it- loved it. My daughter absolutely went nuts for it and stole my copy. My husband had the chance to glance through it and said "wow this is neat".

Vampire fans young and old, old and new are going to adore this book. It is a must have for all vampire lovers, it is both a great resource and novelty item combined that would make a lovely addtion to your book collection.

DANGER IN THEIR TOUCH

Marisa's gift is the only way Rion can communicate with his people, enslaved by a powerful enemy. He knows that kidnapping her is wrong, but saving his planet is worth sparking the fiery clairvoyant's fury. Yet hotter-and more explosive-is the psychic bond growing between Marisa and Rion. Could their passion be the key to freeing Rion's people? Only if he and Marisa can discover how to channel their desire . . . before a vicious enemy destroys them all.

Jordan's past goes back to King Arthur, and he must find the ancient artifact that can save the galaxy. Vivianne's ship is his best hope, but convincing the fiercely independent beauty won't be easy. Especially when the passion flaring between them burns through their defenses - and love is the last thing they need to survive.

Free Book Friday: A Signed Copy of The Calling by Paul M Strickler

I have something a little different for you today- a horror novel by a fellow Michigan author I came across at the Genesee Valley Mall while Christmas shopping, Paul M Strickler.

I didn't get the chance to talk to him during my own nightmare of Christmas shopping at the mall but I did grab his card and contact him later about offering a book for Free Book Friday which he so graciously did, a signed copy, too.

The Calling sounds like a scary read, set right here in my state- Michigan. Which makes it a must read for me.

Here's some info about the book-Back-Cover Synopsis

The Sarasin family's move to northern Michigan is meant as a getaway from the stressful big-city life of suburban Detroit. Instead, they find themselves engaged in an epic struggle . . . with a demon, their new house's sinister past and with themselves.

From a mysterious stranger who stalks them, to a hotel clerk who describes their house's former owner as "a doctor not of the living . . . but of the dying," from sounds of digging and voices under their house to an enormous "stone circle" used for Satan worship in the forest behind them, from the discovery of journals describing demon calling to a sheriff who's "one of them," the Sarasins are plunged into a seemingly unstoppable descent as pawns in a game where the future of the world depends upon their ability to stop the creation of an immense "gate"--a portal between the world of the living and that of the revengeful dead.

Free Book Friday the Thirteenth Giveaway: Lenore Noogies

I have a fun giveaway today in honor of Friday the Thirteenth:

3 copies of the Lenore: Noogies Color Edition (Hardcover) (Lenore: Cute Little Dead Girl) graphic novel by Roman Dirge.

I've never been much for graphic novels. Reading from side to side and up and down just gives me a headache. I like my reading to be linear and not all over the place.

But I have to admit, the graphics in this sucked me into the story. Plus there's not a lot of dialogue to keep me bouncing around, the graphics tell the story all on their own and it's great. A little twisted but fun for those of us who are a little twisted and off the line by a few inches...or a couple miles. :-)

Here's the book blurb:

Take a trip into the dark, surreal world of a little dead girl with a knack for (often) unintentional mayhem in this remastered, gothic classic, newly-coloured and presented in glorious hardcover!

Lenore might only be small, but her talent for mischief — and occasional wanton destruction — is anything but. Featuring stories about limbless cannibals, clock monsters, cursed vampire dolls, taxidermied friends, an obsessed would-be lover and more fuzzy animal mutilations than should be legal, never has the term ‘something for everyone’ seemed more sinister and bizarre.

A massive cult hit on both sides of the Atlantic, Lenore is one of the funniest, darkest, cutest, creepiest characters on the marketplace today.

So you want a copy of Lenore Noogies?

You can be one of three winners to get your hands on this

creepy cool graphic novel.

To be entered to win leave a comment telling me what you think about Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious? Do you avoid doing things on Friday the 13th? Or is 13 a lucky number for you?

US shipping only please.

To get bonus entries, link to and twitter about this contest, please include that info in your comment along with your email.

For 25 bonus entries be the first person to correctly tell me what the fear of the number 13 is called.

Spelling counts folks so make sure you spell this phobia correctly to get your bonus entries.

Free Book Friday Vampire Taxonomy by Meredith Woerner

Now that millions have read and seen Twilight, where do they turn for vampire advice?

This wry, witty, fully illustrated, and bloody essential guide. Vampires are all around-books, movies, TV, comics- infiltrating our culture like never before. But what happens if one should run into a real vamp on the street?

Vampire Taxonomy is the best defense against a fatal encounter in the dark.

For the reader's protection, Meredith Woerner reveals the truth about:

•Sunlight sensitivity-Do vamps venture out in the day or stick solely to the evening hours?

•Physiology-When ready to feed, do they change appearance or simply lure with the seductive flash of a fang?

•Dress-Are they decked out in leather with aspirations of becoming the first vampire rock stars or do they cling to Gothic robes and ruffled collars?

•Diet-Are they waging a never-ending struggle against the temptation of human blood or do they view the world as their personal blood buffet?

Want to win a copy of Vampire Taxonomy?

I have two copies up for grabs, US shipping only please. Just leave a comment with your email address to be entered. Get extra entries for linking to this contest elsewhere.

Author Meredith Woerner started her search for vampires while pulling night shifts as a "copy kid" at the New York Post. Combining her supernatural know-how with a pulp pop awareness, she now writes daily about all the things that go bump in the night at Gawker's sci-fi blog, io9.com.
