Home of the Alpha Showdown, and one-stop shop for urban fantasy, paranormal romance and fantasy news and reviews.
The prize bin at VBC HQ is overflowing a bit. I’m still in the giving mood, so I’ve set aside 13 books — several are signed — for one big giveaway. We’ll have 12 winners (two of the books go together) and each will also get great book-related swag like bookmarks, pens and the like.
And I’m even making it easy to enter. Filling out the form embedded below is all it takes to get entered for the New Year’s Giveaway. However, if you would like to be helpful and suggest a book or series that should be included in our Recommendations section, you’ll get an extra two entries. The hitch is it must be a book not already listed in the Recommendations section.
One more caveat: This giveaway is open only to U.S. and Canadian addresses. VBC is covering the shipping, so we’re going to have to keep it relatively local this time.
CONTEST DETAILS AND RULES
1. To enter, you must fill out the form above. A comment on this blog post suggesting a book/series for the Recommendations page earns you two additional entries.
2. You do not need to follow Vampire Book Club to be entered, but we sure do like it.

4. Contest closes at 11:59 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012.

You defo have to try Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series. First book is First Grave on the Right, second book is Second Grave on the Left and her third book comes out Jan. 31 Third Grave Dead Ahead. Phenomenal series by a Phenomenal author!!!!!! Not vamps….but really great series!
I’m also for Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series for Urban Fantasy. After the first book I was a goner. Charley is a hoot! I’d also recommend Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor for YA.
I just finished reading “Bound to the Prince” by Deborah court. It had Elves, Fairies, Gargoyles, Unicorns and, and, and…well you get my drift. Great read! Thanks for entering me, hop I win ٩(-̮-̃)۶

My daughter has been reading the My Sister the Vampire Series…short books for young teens but very entertaining for daugher /mom sharing.
I would recommend The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. I am very excited about the giveaway.
Great pick, Kristen. Dresden made our UF starter kit (http://vampirebookclub.net/urban-fantasy-starter-kit-what-books-would-you-include/), but you’re right not on the Recommendations pages yet.
I recommend the Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine. They are great for quick reads!
I recommend the morganville vampire series!
I’d like to add Allison Pang’s A Brush of Darkness to the list. It was a favorite read this year, and scuttlebutt from early readers (lucky bishes!) is that book 2 is even better. 🙂
Happy New Year!
I have 3 – Michelle Rowen Garden of Eden Triology, Jaye Wells Sabina Kane series, and Jennifer Ashley Shifters Unbound series.
I recommend Alexander Gordon Smith “Escape from Furnace” series. It’s one of my favorite series for sure. It’s pretty dark and sometimes disturbing, so it might not be for everyone. It is YA though.
I recommend the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.
I recommend the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance.
Ooooh, swag…luv it! Count me in! I recommend “If I Die,” by Rachel Vincent…not just for YA’s…fun for all!
I would add to the list Swear by Nina Malkin
Great read
#2 book
#1 was Swoon

I think Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake should definitely be listed in the YA section. It is such a great book!
I think you should read the twilight series
I totally recommend this 5 star series – The Tale of the Vampire Bride (Vampire Bride Series)
by Rhiannon Frater (Goodreads Author)
http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2310121.Rhiannon_Frater

I love books and I haven’t read any on the list so I hope I win!!
Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series, such a good series so far!
I’d recommend the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It’s one of my favs! I also liked the first three books in the Tempest series by Nicole Peeler.
JA Saare:
Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between
The Renfield Syndrome
Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance and Alex Craft series by Kalayna Price.
I have to recommend anything by Marjorie M. Liu-Dirk & Steele or Hunter’s Kiss. Great strong heroines and spectacular alpha males.
Anna Dressed in blood would be a good recommendation. Loooove this book.
The succubus diaries by Jill Myles is great!
I also recommend the Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance and I’m finishing up the Royal house of shadows series and its a fun one too 🙂

I would recommend the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep and the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.
I recommend the Broken Heart series by Michelle Bardsley.
That is awesome! Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!
Allie Beckstrom and Kate Andrews are my fav series.
You should read the New Species by Laurann Dohner! It is an awesome series.
I would recommend the House of Night novels by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast. I only read four of them but I really like the series. Maybe the Imprinted Souls by Daniele Lanzarotta. It looks cool, but I have not read it yet.
Amazing giveaway. I love the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs.
I would also second those who have suggested the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews and the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep!
I definitely recommend the Study series by Maria Snyder…or any series by her.
I would have to add Thea Harrison’s Elder races series, Leia Shaw Destiny Unchained, and of course LOTHAIRE by KC, b/c I know its going to be AWESOME!!! LOL CANT WAIT!!
Thanks for the giveaway! I will happy to receive any of the books that you are giving away.
My recommendation is for any of Kerrilyn Sparks Love at Stake Series. Or Lynsay Sands Argeneau Series…or…gee, can you tell I’m kind of an anything goes kind of woman?
I’d recommend Keri Arthur’s new Dark Angel series.
I am loving the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep lately!!!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!
I would reccomend The Hollow’s series by Kim Harrison or The Bloodhound Files by D.D.Barant.Thanks for the great giveaway!
Though it is more of a dark fantasy and there are no vampires in it, I would recommend Miserere by Teresa Frohock. It was published this year. I found it very intriguing and I wanted a second book after finishing. Contains demons and strong characters, both male and female.
So I would definitely recommend adding

Mythic by Jae Lynne Davies

Maker’s Song Series by Adrian Pheonix
Midnight Breed Series by Lara Adrian
Sabina Kane Series by Jaye Wells
H&W Investigations Series by Jess Haines

Abby Sinclair Series by Allison Pang
Strangely Beautiful Series by Leanna Renee Heiber
I recommend Kelley Armstrong. She’s a very strong writer and the one who got me into the urban Fantasy genre!!!
I recommend the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne, great urban fantasy series.
Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series was great.
I’m reading Kim Harrison’s Hollows series, I recommend it too.
