Saints Astray giveaway!

Hey hey guys.

Long time no blog. Things are always hec­tic in Octo­ber here. I’ll have to get you all caught up in another post, because today I have some­thing VERY excit­ing for you guys.

Jacque­line Carey, Author of the Kushiel’s Legacy series and com­pan­ion Naamah Tril­ogy, has very gra­ciously given me a signed copy of her lat­est book to give to one of my lovely read­ers! How excit­ing! Guys, this is the first give­away I’ve had that I didn’t have to buy myself. icon wink Saints Astray giveaway!

I think Carey is an amaz­ing author. I’m not even sure where I picked up her first book. It could have pos­si­bly been Good­will for all I know, but from there it was a mad dash to have ALL THE BOOKS! Saints Astray, and its pre­de­ces­sor Santa Olivia, are very dif­fer­ent from the books that first made me love Carey… dif­fer­ent like Nutella Vs Mac&Cheese dif­fer­ent and you don’t see me turn­ing either one down. icon biggrin Saints Astray giveaway!

Here’s the book excerpt from Amazon:

Fel­low orphans, ama­teur vig­i­lantes, and mem­bers of the San­ti­tos, Loup Garron-the fugi­tive daugh­ter of a genet­i­cally engi­neered “wolf man”-and Pilar Ecchevar­ria grew up in the mil­i­tary zone of Out­post 12, for­merly known as Santa Olivia. But now they’re free, and they want to help the rest of the San­ti­tos escape. Dur­ing a series of escapades, they dis­cover that Miguel, Loup’s for­mer spar­ring part­ner and repro­bate sur­ro­gate brother, has escaped from Out­post 12 and is tes­ti­fy­ing on behalf of its for­got­ten citizens-at least until he dis­ap­pears from pro­tec­tive cus­tody. Honor dri­ves Loup to res­cue Miguel, even though enter­ing the U.S could mean los­ing her lib­erty. Pilar vows to help her.

It will take a dar­ing and absurd caper to extri­cate Miguel from the mess he’s cre­ated but Loup is pre­pared to risk every­thing… and this time she has help.

You can click here to read the first chap­ter or click here to order it on Amazon.

So, just leave me a com­ment, any com­ment — though prefer­ably some­thing about how pretty I am or that you’ll bring me gourmet cof­fee in bed every morn­ing — and we’ll ran­domly select a winner.

Rules:

  • One entry per per­son. Dou­ble entries will be dis­qual­i­fied. Even par­tic­u­larly flat­ter­ing com­ments only count as one. icon wink Saints Astray giveaway!
  • Entries must be in by Mid­night Novem­ber 15th. Win­ner will be announced the fol­low­ing morning.
  • Win­ner has 48 hours to respond. If no response in said time frame, another ran­dom com­menter will be drawn.

Good Luck guys!

    That mac’n’cheese vs Nutella com­par­i­son is so spot on!
    And I remem­ber where I first picked up my first Jacque­line Carey book, and it was sec­ond hand, and com­pletely by acci­dent, but def­i­nitely my best pur­chase that day — it changed my life! :)

  20. David says:

    Thanks for offer­ing the con­test! In truth, I have not read any of Jacque­line Carey’s books yet, but one of my best friend’s LOVES her books, so I’m try­ing to win it for him. =)

    Hello! I’m glad I found you through Jacque­line Carey’s give-away — your dane is adorable! And here I thought I was the only one who felt the need to make a coat for my great dane. (But he gets so cold!)

    Your blog is awe­some — can’t wait to read more! Thanks for host­ing this contest!

  23. Remmy says:

    It took me years to pick up my first Carey book, as Dart didn’t have that great of a descrip­tion on the back cover. But once I did read it, I was addicted! Like you said Santa Olivia was very dif­fer­ent from the Kushiel books, but still just as great of a read.

  24. Dana says:
