Monster Month of Giveaways--Vampyre Edition


!!!WIN!!WIN!!WIN!!WIN!!WIN!!WIN!!!

TWO Grand Prize House of Night prize packs are up for grabs! Leave a comment on this post before midnight (cst) Oct. 9, 2008 to enter. For extra chances click here!

All entries will be automatically entered in the October 31st Paranormal Powerball
(details will be forthcoming, but trust me--it will include tons of books!).


The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres have always existed. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

Prize Pack 1:

Marked (HOK #1) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Betrayed (HOK #2) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Dark Daughters Necklace (the bottom necklace w/ ballchain in the photo below)
Ty Beenie Vampire Bear
Harry Potter Blood Suckers
Black "Claw" Polish
Halloween Tattoos
Halloween Candy
Other Fun Halloween Stuff
ALL in a super cool tote bag that reads: "Never Kill a Boy on the the First Date".

Prize Pack 2:

Chosen (HOK #3) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Untamed (HOK #4) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Crescent Moon Necklace (the top necklace w/ black leather cord in the photo below)
Ty Beenie Vampire Bear
Harry Potter Blood Suckers
Black "Claw" Polish
Halloween Tattoos
Halloween Candy
Other Fun Halloween Stuff
ALL in a super cool tote bag that reads: "Never Kill a Boy on the the First Date"

Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night. She’s come to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her, and is getting a handle on being the new Leader of the Dark Daughters. Best of all, Zoey finally feels like she belongs--like she really fits in. She actually has a boyfriend…or two. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night, and Zoey must find the courage to face a betrayal that could break her heart, her soul, and jeopardize the very fabric of her world.
Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this “highly addictive series” (Romantic Times), in which Zoey’s mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn’t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey’s horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth…

Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you. Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead and unMarked. And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in PC and Kristin Cast's spellbinding fourth House of Night novel. (Recommended for readers age 13 and older)

*** Next Week's Monster Giveaway theme will be Ghosts! And I'm super psyched to be including an ARC of Shadowed Summer by Saundra Mitchell

Natalie Hatch said...

I'm amazed how the market is pushing more towards this genre now. A few years back when I was really into vampires etc you didn't get many published, so I'm loving that fact that publishers have listened to what people want to read and given us such great writers as the Cast ladies.
Please put my name down for the comp.

The County Courthouse in our town is supposed to be haunted. Back in the early part of the century (or end of the 1800s) there was a murder case that involved a decapitated head. The head was locked up as evidence. The woman the head belongs to supposedly haunts the courthouse looking for it.

This is a great contest.

Soma is a muscle relaxer that is used to treat muscular pains, strains, and injuries. This is where Soma can help with the situation. [url=http://copybase.org/]soma drug[/url] Muscular strains and sprains can be an extremely painful experience for any one that suffers from such an injury. Rest and sleep come easier thanks to the relaxing effect that Soma has on the injured muscle and both are vital parts of the healing process. Soma can make you drowsy so you should avoid alcohol while taking it as well as abstain from any activities that require a high degree of focus such as driving.
