Do you have Palmer's A Blood Seduction as ePub? Can you send it to me if you do. I've been looking for it in that format for months, and no one seems to have it. gargoyle1011@yahoo.com
Thank You.
Missyb, I borrowed the parperback. I did not buy it because I was not sure that I would like it, it's different from her feral Warrior series. Last I heard, only US resident could share ebooks and I'm not. As that changed yet? The ebook lending feature I mean.

I liked the Feral Warriors series, which is why I wanted to try this book.
I'm starting late, but I may have already read some books in this time frame that will count. :)London Olympic Games 2012 Challenge

Question Sandra, I was reading Dark Descendant where the heroine is a descendant of Artemis. The is a descendant of Zeus somewhere too. would this qualify for bonus Olympic flame? If not, that's ok since I can use it for something else.

Sorry Josie, I changed my mind on the black cover. I read too many YA books lately and could not bring myself to read Anathema even if it is a good story. Next time I guess.
