Book and Wolf Giveaway: Lori Handeland Marked by The Moon at BittenByBooks.com

About the Book:
“Tough as nails Alexandra Trevalyn does what most people can’t: She kills werewolves. Once part of an elite group of hunters, she’s going rogue these days, though no less determined to rid the world of bloodthirsty beasts…once and for all. That’s why Alex had no choice but to kill Julian Barlow’s wife—and will have to pay the price. Julian’s brand of vengeance is downright devious, and now he’s turned Alex into a member of his pack. It’s only a matter of time before she falls under his spell. With the wild freedom of the wolf in her veins, Alex can’t deny that Julian wakes her most primal passions…and draws her that much closer to the moon’s call, where evil lies in wait.”

“Erin Hollister is waiting for her big break—or even a small one. She’s been dumped by her boyfriend, canned by her employer and it doesn’t seem that her dream of making it on Broadway will come true either. But then she’s given a lantern—complete with genie!—and it looks as if a little magic may be in store….

That is, if she can decide what to wish for. There’s the rub. Career? Family? Love life? Even a charismatic genie can grant only so many wishes. Or maybe Erin should just hold on to all those magical chances and think about what might be (instead of seeing just what’s under her nose).

Time’s running out. Ultimately, it’s Erin who must decide how to keep the magic alive—forever.”

Jonah Leighton never expected to have a close friend, especially one he met at his school, where he’s usually either picked on or ignored. A few weeks after meeting Shanna Bailey, he’s realized that she’s a kindred spirit. Intelligent, funny, and interested in the things he can teach her, Shanna is the first person with whom Jonah’s ever been comfortable sharing his knowledge.

However, Shanna’s frequent injuries cast a pall over their friendship. Jonah suspects that Shanna’s mother abuses her, but without proof, he can’t do anything. And his concerns about Shanna take a back seat when he becomes aware of a threat to our universe: An entity from another reality wants to cross over into ours, and the resulting energetic backwash will vaporize our world.

“The ultimate battle. The ultimate love.

For the past two years, Jenn has lived and trained at Spain’s Sacred Heart Academy Against the Cursed Ones. She is among the few who have pledged to defend humanity or die trying. But the vampires are gaining power, and the battle has only just begun.

Forced to return home after death takes a member of her family, Jenn discovers that San Francisco is now a vampire strong-hold. As a lone hunter apart from her team, Jenn is isolated—and at risk. She craves the company of her fighting partner, Antonio: his protection, his reassurance, his touch. But a relationship with Antonio comes with its own dangers, and the more they share of themselves, the more Jenn stands to lose.

Then Jenn is betrayed by one who was once bound to protect her, causing her to doubt all she had held as true. To survive, Jenn must find the courage to trust herself—and her heart.”

FREE BOOK Giveaway: Faery Tale by Signe Pike at BittenByBooks!

About the Book:
Signe Pike, was an NYC book editor for whom the magic of high-speed, big-city life had worn off. As a child, she and her father walked in the woods where she would look for fairies. Upon her father’s death, Signe was just 25 years old, she upped and left her NYC publishing life—embarking on a journey across the globe to all of the places where fairies mythologically live—in hopes of regaining some of that childhood magic.

Faery Tale One Woman’s Search for Enchantment in a Modern World (Perigee Hardcover; $23.95; November 2, 2010) Signe Pike’s engaging account of that journey. Part travel memoir, part anthropological study—an Eat, Pray, Love of the fairy world—it’s an inspiring story for anyone who feels like we’ve lost the magic of youth and need something to believe in again.

Signe travels to Mexico, England , Ireland , Scotland and New York . She explores dark glens, abandoned forests, ancient sacred sites and dimly lit local pubs. The colorful characters she encounters, who take fairy-hunting very seriously, are sure to get a laugh from readers.

Captivating, full of heart, and unabashedly whimsical, Faery Tale is more than a memoir-it’s the story of rekindling that spark of belief that makes even the most skeptical among us feel like a child again.

Contest:

Contest runs through October 22, 2010 at 11:59 pm CDT. Open to entrants in the US only. These will be shipping from the PUBLISHER Perigee Trade who has generously donated them for this giveaway.

What If You Were Adopted By A Vampire….V.C. Andrews Book Giveaway at BittenByBooks!

Daughter of Darkness
By V.C. Andrews
On Sale 10/26/10
ISBN: 9781439155011
Price: $7.99 ($9.99 CAN)

“When I was a little girl, Daddy told me never to fear the dark. “We exist because of the darkness,” he told me. “All of you are daughters of darkness.”

Beloved bestselling author V.C. Andrews’s passion for vampires comes to spellbinding life in a long-awaited novel of dark desires as all-consuming—and forbidden—as in Flowers in the Attic. One night, with the sound of a young man’s scream, high school senior Lorelei discovers that her stern but loving father, who adopted Lorelei and her sisters as infants, is no ordinary man. He has raised his beautiful girls for one purpose: to lure young men into their world of shadows. Like her sisters, Lorelei has been trained in the art of seduction and warned never to fall in love. But when she meets a handsome and charming classmate, she boldly defies her family and follows her heart—even if love is a poison. . . .

Dangerously enticing and deliriously intoxicating, V.C. Andrews’s Daughter of Darkness will leave readers thirsting for more.”

BittenByBooks has five copies of this most recent V C Andrews books to give away.
