Home of the Alpha Showdown, and one-stop shop for urban fantasy, paranormal romance and fantasy news and reviews.
A few months back we asked for help in assembling an urban fantasy starter kit. Certain books showed up in the comments and tweets repeatedly. Well, as we’re in the middle of our Fall into (Urban) Fantasy event, it feels appropriate to award one Vampire Book Club reader with a handful of the books suggested for the UF starter kit.
One winner will take home all five books. The contest is open internationally (provided that the Book Depository ships to your country).
CONTEST DETAILS AND RULES
1. To enter, you must leave a comment on this post telling us which of the five books you most want to read.
2. You do not need to follow Vampire Book Club to be entered, but we’ll give one bonus entry to anyone who does (via Twitter, Facebook, RSS, email or GFC).
3. This contest is open internationally, provided the Book Depository ships to your country.
4. Contest closes at 11:59 p.m. CST on Monday, Sept. 12.
5. The winners will be selected using Random.org. Then each will be contacted via email and given 48 hours to claim her prize. If we do not hear from the winner(s) within that time, a new winner will be selected.
6. Entrants must be at least 18 years old or have their parent’s permission to enter. Please review our privacy policy, if you have any questions as to how Vampire Book Club uses your information. (Short version: we’ll only use it to contact you for this contest.)
7. Though unlikely, Vampire Book Club has the right to change or cancel any giveaway at any time without prior notice.
8. Vampire Book Club is not responsible for prizes lost or damage in transit.

Always wanted to read Dead Witch Walking but never got around to it. I follow on Facebook, Twitter, and email.
Love the idea of this starter kit!
Hmmm Storm Front by Jim Butcher has been in my TBR pile for awhile. I hear so many good things about his books but haven’t gotten around to checking them out.
Thanks for the chance to start some great series!

Only read one on the list, Darkfever which was awesome! So any on them would be great but if I had to choose just one, Some Place to be Flying.
I’d have to say Storm Front by Jim Butcher. A friend of mine has been trying and trying to get me to read that series. I guess it’s time I do.

I’d like to read Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. I’m relatively new to this genre and Kim Harrison is one of the author’s on my “Must Read” list. 🙂
I follow on facebook too.
I would like to read the magic to the bone book but all sound interesting
Out of those 5, I’ve read “Dead Witch Walking”, “Magic to the Bone” and
“Darkfever”.
I haven’t heard about “Someplace to be flying” so I have to say STORM FRONT. The Dresden Files have been on my TBR for so long. Maybe this is what I was waiting for (:

Someplace to Be Flying sounds really interesting. I will most likely end up reading this one eventually. I have read Darkfever and loved it but I dont have a physical copy of that book and am looking into getting one. I follow on both facebook(Ariel Elser) and Twitter(Airy_el).
# Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison. I haven’t read neither of them but I heard very good reviews of this author.

Definitely Kim Harrison’s “Dead Witch Walking.” I have heard such great things about the Hollows series.
Darkfever, please! Library here in San Leandro does not carry 🙂 I follow you on twitter… @randomgirl75
Since I already read Darkfever,I want to read Dead Witch Walking,Storm Front and Magic to the Bone.
Amazing selection! I’d love to read Someplace to Be Flying, and finally finishing Storm Front.
Charles de Lint is the only one who I haven’t read on this list. Great choices!
I’m a GFC follower
I’m new to Urban Fantasy. I’m interested in reading all the chosen books!!! I think Dark Fever the most!!! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!! 🙂
GFC follower-jfort357
here is the order I am interested in reading them in:
1. Dead Witch Walking- Kim Harrison
2. Magic to the Bone- Devon Monk
3. Someplace to be Flying- Charles de Lint
4. Dark Fever- Karen Marie Moning
5. Storm Front- Jim Butcher
The only reason that KMM and JB are the last 2 are because I have started both of those series and I am really interested in starting a new series or reading a new author too.
I follow Vampire Book Club through email
A good friend of mine is always very complimentary of Jim Butcher’s writing so I’d like to check out Storm Front. I’m already a fan and reader of Kim Harrison and Karen Marie Moning–the Fever series is fabulous and a must read.
