Contest Roundup: Crave, Blood Law, Greywalker

This week’s contests include YA, paranormal romance, urban fantasy and all filled with strong women we like as heroines and several with hot guys on the cover (not that it matters…). International readers, rejoice: We have contests for you, too, this week.

• We launched a new contest this week. We have two copies of the new (and rather inventive) YA vampire novel Crave by Melinda Metz and Laura J. Burns to giveaway. The contest is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada. Make sure to enter by 10 a.m. CST on Aug. 30. Get details and enter the Crave giveaway here.

• Jeannie Holmes, in her infinite awesomeness, has kindly put five copies of Blood Law up for grabs on Goodreads. To enter the giveaway, you’ll need to be a member of Goodreads (it’s free). Full details on Goodreads. Open to US, CA, GB and AU. Contest is open through Aug. 31.

• We just told you we were looking forward to Kresley Cole’s Demon from the Dark, and — voila — Smexy Books has a giveaway. Comment on the Smexy giveaway post by Aug. 23 for your chance at a free copy. U.S. residents only.

• Score a complete signed set of Kat Richardson’s Greywalker novels from Book Lovers, Inc. Leave a meaningful comment related to the post from the author by Aug. 28 for your chance to win. This one is, indeed, open internationally.

• Interested in winning Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl? Well, then enter whatchYAreading’s giveaway to win the sequel to Beautiful Creatures. Contest is open internationally (though, they’re giving bonus entries to Canadians). Make sure to enter by Aug. 25.

• The Qwillery has a guest blog with Erin Kellison, which is followed by a giveaway of both Shadow Bound and Shadow Fall. To enter comment on the giveaway post by Monday, Aug. 23. Open internationally. (Qwill also has a second giveaway with two historical vampire fiction novels. Details on that contest can be found here.)

• This one isn’t an immediate entry type contest. Spinecracker is having its group read chat on Sept. 3 about Carolyn Crane’s Mind Games. Those who comment on that day, about the book, will be entered to win a copy of the forthcoming sequel Double Cross. You’ll need to have read the first book before the discussion, so, we’re giving you a bit of a heads up on this one. Get the full details over on Spinecracker. US residents only.
