tgifbm! all hallow's read edition!

actually, no tricks here on halloween!

if you're not on twitter or read neil gaiman's blog,

then you might not have heard of All Hallow's Read,

neil's intention on starting a new halloween tradition–

by giving away scary books! appropriate to the lucky

person you are gifting, of course.

so i've got a special treat for tgifbm! this week.

a signed edition of the awesome Paranormalcy by

kiersten white and The Replacement by brenna yovanoff.

both debuts with gorgeous covers. very different books

with scary elements both! my fellow book lovers and readers,

you seriously can't go wrong.

and i'm lucky to have known kiersten before she became

the rockstar (new york times bestseller!) that she is today.

she is just as sweet and funny in person as she is online.

here's a foto of us at her recent signing…

and without further ado, the awesome books up

for All Hallow's Read grabs!

Weird as it is working for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, Evie's always thought of herself as normal. Sure, her best friend is a mermaid, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, she's falling for a shape-shifter, and she's the only person who can see through paranormals' glamours, but still. Normal.

Only now paranormals are dying, and Evie's dreams are filled with haunting voices and mysterious prophecies. She soon realizes that there may be a link between her abilities and the sudden rash of deaths. Not only that, but she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

So much for normal.

Mackie Doyle is not one of us. Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, he comes from a world of tunnels and black murky water, a world of living dead girls ruled by a little tattooed princess. He is a Replacement, left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago. Now, because of fatal allergies to iron, blood, and consecrated ground, Mackie is fighting to survive in the human world.

Mackie would give anything to live among us, to practice on his bass or spend time with his crush, Tate. But when Tate's baby sister goes missing, Mackie is drawn irrevocably into the underworld of Gentry, known as Mayhem. He must face the dark creatures of the Slag Heaps and find his rightful place, in our world, or theirs.

…
