Lunar Love Giveaway Hop - 2 winners - INT

Welcome to the Lunar Love Giveaway Hop, sponsored by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Book Worm Lisa. This giveaway rules are: "Your giveaway must feature a book with paranormal, supernatural, science fiction or space travel element or a book that has something to do with the moon or has a moon on its cover."

I LOVE PARANORMAL!. So the first book that popped into my head is one of my very, very faves AND had a moon title- Book one in the Mercy Thompson series - Moon Called. It was my first Paranormal Urban Fantasy read and wouldn't you know it - I was hooked!

Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself.

My second favorite Paranormal urban fantasy book is Kevin Hearne's The Iron Druid Chronicles. The series has witches, werewolves, vampires, druids, and the God of Thunder. What's more paranormal than that?

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old—when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.


Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power—plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish—to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

What you win:
Two winners, your choice of Moon Called or Hounded. INTERNATIONAL OR ANYWHERE BOOK DEPOSITORY SHIPS.

An ENDURE-ing Wish - Desperately Wanting Wednesday

Endure by Carrie JonesFrom Bloomsbury USA
May 8, 2012    

Zara is at the center of an all-out war, and an impending apocalypse. True, she’s successfully rescued Nick from Valhalla, but it simply isn’t enough. Bedford is being ravaged by evil pixies and they need much more than one great warrior; they need an army. Zara isn’t sure what her role is anymore. She’s not just fighting for her friends, she’s also a pixie queen. And to align her team of pixies with the humans she loves will be one of her greatest battles yet. Especially since she can’t even reconcile her growing feelings for her pixie king… Unexpected turns, surprising revelations, and one utterly satisfying romantic finale make Endure a thrilling end to this series of bestsellers.

 Why I want this book: You may have noticed I have a hard time reading the last book in a series. A lot of times it's a disappointment or the series seems to have gotten less interesting to me along the way. This is not the case with Carrie Jones Need series, it has just gotten better and better. I am really anticipating how Zara, an unlikely hero, will manage to save everyone she loves...and figuring out who her true love really is.  *Astley* BTW I like the cover! No pixie dust on this one?! What does that mean? Zara embraces her inner pixie? Oh my goodness, May cannot get here soon enough.

L♥ving What I'm Reading - A Soulful(l) Book

 

  Oldsoul by Dan HaringFrom Pendrell PublishingApril 24, 2012    

Jason Gouvas doesn’t want to believe he has special abilities, or that he's an Oldsoul--a vessel for the souls of people who have passed away. But the dead girl in his mind can be very persuasive.

Her name is Erin, and through her Jason is able to access the knowledge and skills of the souls within him. And with a group of power-hungry immortals bent on destroying the Oldsouls and overthrowing humanity, he's going to need them all.
