The VBC team loves Faith Hunter’s books. We’re excited for Curse on the Land, and you should be, too. The second Soulwood novel releases on Nov. 1 (pre-order here), but Faith shared this Q&A—answer questions from her street team, the Beast Claws—to give us a taste. Read on for insights and your chance to win some seriously sweet prizes. Question: What happens to the “vampire” oak on church land that was... 
From VBC HQ: We love Rachel Caine. (You should love her, too.) The Morganville Vampires series is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and you know we had to be a part of it. Rachel is here to talk about what makes it special, drop a few keywords for a scavenger hunt, and giveaway some sweet prizes. Morganville: The Fans It’s a funny thing. When I started writing Morganville Vampires, I really only expected... 
Note From VBC: This year Kane Malloy from Lindsay J. Pryor’s Blackthorn series won the Alpha Showdown. BFD, right? Well, we discovered lots of our regular readers weren’t in the loop on the Blackthorn series. The latest book in the series Blood Bound is out today, and Lindsay is here to help you get to know the series. LINDSAY J. PRYOR GUEST POST A massive thank you to Vampire Book Club for kindly... 
Note from VBC: Today we have Tracey Sinclair on the blog, author of the Cassandra Bick Chronicles, to talk about the genre TV shows that inspire her work. Read on, and feel free to comment with your favorite genre-defining shows! Let’s turn it over to Tracey: Tracey Sinclair: From The Lost Boys and Buffy to Supernatural—My Inspiration for Dark Dates “So, we’ve all seen Buffy, right? I mean, you didn’t... 
Pretty much every member of the Vampire Book Club team adores Chloe Neill’s novels. We glom every title she releases. Last year when she launched the Devil’s Isle series, we fell in love with yet another world. We loved the post-apocalyptic New Orleans she crafted in The Veil (read Jannelle’s review), and could not wait for more. Today the sequel The Sight has hit stores (you really should order a copy... 
Note from VBC: This is a cross post from Chelsea’s author blog. I won’t do this too often, but as there’s been a lot of questions about when we could add the book to Goodreads, I’m going to share with you. Plus, Things are happening, y’all. HAPPENING. Like on the internet where people can see them. It was a gangbusters day for Borrowed Souls yesterday. Publisher’s Marketplace, a trade publication with the... 
Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan are celebrating the release of their latest Branded Packs book Buried and Shadowed (grab a copy at Amazon) with a five-part Q&A on five blogs we love. (Yes, we’re one of them. We’re allowed to love ourselves!) Read on for today’s question with the two authors talking about sexy shifters, and for your chance to win Branded Packs swag. What do you think draws readers to... 
Christina Henry is the author of the Black Wings urban fantasy series, books featuring an angel of death and—wait for it—her loyal gargoyle. To be honest, however, I didn’t hear of her until she took a huge departure and went classical—with a twist. Alice came out last year, and I was blown away by the way the story is utterly changed, and yet so very similar. Frankly, I loved it. As did so many others... 
Rachel Caine’s name is pretty synonymous with urban fantasy—both of the YA and adult varieties. Her books can arguably be called a staple of the genre (the Morganville Vampires and Weather Warden series alone are testaments to that). Last year saw the debut of Rachel Caine’s new series The Great Library. With the awesome world-building, and mysterious characters, it’s no wonder Ink and Bone made VBC’s...
Typically I keep my writing separate from VBC, but there is some news that’s too exciting to leave just to Twitter. Dear VBC readers, I have news. My debut urban fantasy novel Borrowed Souls will be releasing next spring. This doesn’t change things at VBC, but I had to tell you. The details on the book deal, a HUGE (we’re talking 15 books including ARCs of Allegiance of Honor and Breath of Earth) giveaway...
