Giveaway! ‘Waking the Witch’ (Kelley Armstrong)


Despite my moaning about certain kinds of Urban Fantasy there are some authors that you’ll always find me going back to; Kelley Armstrong is one of these. Her portrayal of relationships is never forced or contrived and there’s always a decent mystery to be solved, just what I like! Her latest book, ‘Waking the Witch’, looks to promise more of the same. Here’s the blurb...

At twenty-one, Savannah Levine—orphaned daughter of a notorious dark witch and an equally notorious cutthroat sorcerer—considers herself a full-fledged member of the supernatural race that rules the Otherworld. The once rebellious teen has grown into a six-foot-tall, motorcycle-riding jaw-dropper with a full arsenal of spells that she’s not afraid to use when she gets caught in a bind. There’s only one small problem—her adoptive parents, Paige and Lucas, don’t always trust her. Of course, she’s given them plenty of reasons . . . but those are in the past. People can change, right?

When Paige and Lucas take off on a romantic vacation alone, leaving her in charge of their detective agency, Savannah is presented with a case that she can’t turn down, and one she can finally call her own. Recruited by another supernatural detective, she travels to Columbus, Washington, a small, almost shell of a town. Two troubled young women have been found in an abandoned warehouse, murdered. Now a third woman is dead, and darker forces seem to be at play.

Savannah feels certain she can handle the case, but with supernatural activity appearing at every turn, things quickly become more serious—and far more dangerous—than she realizes. Caught up in a web of lust, false identities, and lies, Savannah must summon strength from her depths, and fight like she’s never fought before.


If you’re a fan of Kelley Armstrong (and you live in either the US or Canada, no-one else can enter this one I’m afraid) then this could be the competition for you. Thanks to Wunderkind PR, I have three advance copies of ‘Waking the Witch’ to give away to three lucky readers of the blog. Just one thing though...

The book itself comes out on the 27th so I want to get these ARCs into the hands of winners as soon as possible. After all, there’s no point having an ARC if you can’t read it before everyone else gets their hands on the book is there? ;o) With that in mind, this competition is going to be run a little different than normal. Namely...

The first three emails in my inbox will win copies of ‘Waking the Witch’.

My email address is at the top right hand side of the screen. I need your name and postal address and you also need to put ‘Waking the Witch’ in the subject header. Miss out any one of these three things and your entry gets deleted no matter when it arrived.

If you’re a winner, your book should hopefully go out today; it might take me a little longer than that to announce the winners here though...

Good Luck!
