H.D. (hdgordon) | 12 comments Hi Rachel! If you would like to review my YA Urban Fantasy novel, Blood Warrior, I would very much appreciate it. Blood Warrior is the first book in a series featuring a homicidal hero-- think Dexter meets a modern day supernatural gladitor, complete with vampires, werewolves and the like. If you are interested, please let me know. It's available on kindle for $.99 or i could send you a free file. Thanks!

Hi Heather,
I would love to read and review your book Blood Warrior. Could you send me a free file though please because I can't seem to find it on Amazon.co.uk

Sarah Yoffa (webbiegrrlwriter) | 501 comments Hi Rachel,

Check out this week's FREE READS on my Webbiegrrl's Freebie Friday for Sep 9.

One is a YA SciFi fantasy, which may or may not be "paranormal" or "fantasy" enough for you or the kind you like. I think it's more along the lines of "scifi" than what you meant and it might be too juvenile for your tastes if you're looking for sexy vampires and husky werewolves.

The 3rd book sounds really itneresting to me. I would have, personally, called it ChickLit but it is definitely a light-hearted contemporary fantasy. The premise of the book is that it's about a man and a woman whose thoughts get tangled up in each other's heads.

All 3 books are series starters with at least one more in the series already available so you won't get hooked and find yourself waiting a year for another installment. Coupon codes on my blog are guaranteed valid for today (Sep 9) only (the one for Entangled is valid through Monday)

Don't forget to leave the authors a note or tweet them a thanks for the freebie read (they are @AmosTFairchild @FredBubbers @DCSargentBooks) I need to start adding that to the blog posts I think :)

Oh, and all 3 books are via Smashwords which offers Kindle formats and is definitely available to anyone in the UK. Just email yourself the (mobi) file to your Kindle address after you buy it. It's an extra step but then, it is free ^_^

Rachel "Rai29" (rai29) | 3 comments I have just downloaded Long Days In Paradise by Amos T Fairchild and Entangled by D. C. Sargent. I have also followed both authors on twitter as well as tweeting them a thankyou for their books. And I have followed you on both your site and twitter.
Thankyou for the great giveaway!

Sarah Yoffa (webbiegrrlwriter) | 501 comments Got your follow and tweeted back thinking it was you. I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised by ENTANGLED. I started reading it and had to actually force myself to stop :) I've gotten 84 emails since posting the blog and have to deal with them. Reading ENTANGLED is for pleasure time. L8R...whenever "L8R" actually is (haha)

You're welcome (again) and I'm curious how you liked it--if you did. I did finally finish what was written but it definitely did not feel like the story actually ended. It's like she just stopped writing.

Plus I started finding the head-hopping to be annoying enough it was jerking me out of the story but I remain firm in my opinion that the premise was awesome and I really want to see her develop it. I think there's a series there--because there are characters to support it--but the author had a little trouble figuring out how to divide a series into book-sized pieces. There was too much setup of some plot points and not enough of others. Given I'm a series writer myself (and wish I were a short story writer! LOL) I can easily see where the problems lie.

I did a bit of DM'ing with her on Twitter and she made some changes and uploaded a newer version to Smashwords (which I got) but I haven't had time to read it a second time.

Would love to hear what you thought, Rachel. Even with all my problems with it, I'd still highly recommend ENTANGLED as a fun read (not serious). Would you?

-sry
