Today I am giving away two copies of Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs! This is the first novel in the Alpha and Omega series, which was introduced with “Alpha and Omega” in the anthology On the Prowl. Cry Wolf is followed by Hunting Ground and Fair Game with the fourth book, Dead Heat, releasing next week. Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors of urban fantasy because of her wonderful series—and character!—Mercy Thompson, and Alpha and Omega is set […]
(Note: Hi! I’m John. Not Kristen. Sorry. I used to contribute to this site a while ago, but then grad school happened. And then grad school happened again. Now they’ve run out of degrees to give me, so I’m back to having some time to write here! It probably won’t be very often, but I’ll pop in from time to time.) The Golem and the Jinni is a melting pot-era urban fantasy released in 2013 and Helene Wecker’s debut novel, […]

Magic Breaks is the first of these books to be released in hardcover, […]

I loved both Generation V and Iron Night. Fort has always tried […]
M.L. Brennan’s debut, Generation V, is the first novel about Fortitude Scott. The second book, Iron Night, was released earlier this month, and there will be at least one more book in the series after that one. Fortitude Scott is a young, low level vampire nearly indistinguishable from humans: he has to drink blood every once in awhile, but he doesn’t yet have fangs, an aversion to daylight, the ability to heal, or great strength. That’s fine with him since […]
Today I’m pleased to welcome Sandy Williams, author of the Shadow Reader trilogy! The final book in the series, The Sharpest Blade, was released about a week ago, which means that book two has been out long enough that she is sharing her favorite scenes from it. There is also an opportunity to win a SIGNED copy of either The Shadow Reader, The Shattered Dark, or The Sharpest Blade—and this giveaway is open internationally! Sandy’s Favorite Scenes from The Shattered […]
