contest is closed.\u00a0 winners to be posted next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

So it’s no secret that I have become a complete and total sucker for the Kate Daniels books by Ilona Andrews<\/a>.\u00a0 Complete. Total. Sucker.\u00a0 These books are just so awesome, though.<\/p>\n

And the new one is due out today.<\/p>\n

Magic Bleeds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Atlanta would be a nice place to live, if it weren\u2019t for the magic. When the magic is up, rogue mages cast their spells and monsters appear, while guns refuse to fire and cars fail to start. But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it rose.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kate Daniels works for the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, officially as a liaison with the mercenary guild. Unofficially, she cleans up the paranormal problems no one else wants to handle\u2014especially if they involve Atlanta\u2019s shapeshifting community.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s called in to investigate a fight at the Steel Horse, a bar midway between the territories of the shapeshifters and the necromancers, Kate quickly discovers there\u2019s a new player in town. One who\u2019s been around for thousands of years\u2014and rode to war at the side of Kate\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

This foe may be too much even for Kate and Curran, the Lord of the Beasts, to handle. Because this time, Kate will be taking on family\u2026<\/p>\n

There are parts of this book that damn near had me banging my head against the wall in frustration…and other parts that had me all but groaning when they ended.\u00a0 Because they ended.\u00a0 Yes, I’ve read it.\u00a0 About five times now.\u00a0 At least.\u00a0 You think I’d be going on about a book I hadn’t read… o_O\u00a0\u00a0 It’s sooooo good.\u00a0 So awesome.\u00a0\u00a0 So worth the wait, although man, how am I going to wait for the next one?\u00a0 Eek.\u00a0 Anyway.\u00a0 It’s out now.\u00a0 Are you reading these books?\u00a0 Why not??? They are so goooood<\/em>….<\/p>\n

And man, oh man, today is just a day for awesome books, because it’s also the release date for Web of Lies by Jennifer Estep<\/a><\/p>\n

Web Of Lies<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. I\u2019m retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots weren\u2019t aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, I\u2019m beginning to wonder if I\u2019m really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I\u2019m a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn\u2019t made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, so good….the first one blew me away.\u00a0 I’m reading the second one now and man, Gin is amazing. <\/em>But you don’t have to take my word for it.<\/p>\n

No, I’m not going to give away these <\/em>books.\u00a0 I’m giving away the first in the series.<\/p>\n

You see, I’m trying seduce everybody into getting hooked, and the best way to do that is to get you reading the first in each series.<\/p>\n

Sooo…..but if you haven’t read them and you’re curious… here’s your chance.\u00a0 Leave your name in comments and I’ll draw one name to win an unsigned copy of Magic Bites, the first Kate Daniels book and<\/em> an unsigned Spider’s Bite by Jennifer Estep, the first Elemental Assassin book .\u00a0 Because once you read them if you’re anything like me?\u00a0 You’ll want the rest of the series.<\/p>\n

(Please note, the contest is<\/em> for both, I’m lazy, have another out of town thing coming up and don’t want to do another contest, so you get both-if you have one of the books, then you are more than welcome to give the double to a friend, use it for a contest, etc).<\/p>\n

FYI, if you aren’t familiar with my rules… read the disclaimer<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s your responsibility to check back in a few days and see if you’ve won, as well as the other rules…<\/p>\n
