My favorite event of the year is almost here! (Check out my Snoopy Dance!)
That’s right, it’s Alpha Showdown time! The time when the biggest badasses in the paranormal book world battle for bragging rights. Get ready to fangirl (or fanboy) flail all over your favorite characters!
Can you believe this is the 8th year for Alpha Showdown? Last year we had our first female champion, Kate Daniels from Ilona Andrews’ series of the same name. Previous champions include Kate’s mate Curran, J.R. Ward’s Wrath, Darynda Jones’ Reyes, and Karen Marie Moning’s Barrons and Ryodan. This year’s champ will have some pretty big shoes to fill!
And we need your help deciding who the contenders will be. Nominate your favorite characters who exemplify alpha status—leaders, warriors, general badasses. You may choose any character from any book, regardless of publication date, provided he or she is a central character in a novel with paranormal or supernatural elements (adult or YA, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, fantasy romance, etc.).
We’ll place the top 16 vote-getters into an NCAA-style bracket. We’ll have book bloggers champion the nominated characters and matches will be posted on this site where readers will vote on which character advances.
We’ll also have giveaways alongside every step of the Alpha Showdown. We utilize Rafflecopter widgets to handle nominations (below!) and the actual voting when the Showdown happens.
