Spotlight & Giveaway: Forsaken by the Others!



I know I've been a little absent guys, I've been in a bit of a blogging funk. Spring Fever, man... it's hard to shake. BUT I'm going to try to up my game, and I'm getting back into things with a spotlight of the soon-to-be-released Forsaken by the Others & a giveaway!
Now, I haven't read the book (it's book 5), so this is just a spotlight, but I'm totally on board - I don't know about you, but I find urban fantasy to be a good reading funk-breaker, so maybe talking about urban fantasy will be a good blogging funk-breaker... And what is is about urban fantasy book where the MC is a PI? It just... it just feels right. ;)

Check it out:


Forsaken by the Others by Jess Haines
Get It | Add It
Urban Fantasy/series, 352 pages
Expected publication: July 2nd 2013 by Zebra
The Others–vampires, werewolves, things that go chomp in the night–don’t just live in nightmares anymore. They’ve joined with the mortal world. And for private investigator Shiarra Waynest, that means mayhem…

Have a one night stand with a vampire, and you can end up paying for it for eternity. P.I. Shiarra Waynest, an expert on the Others, knows that better than most. Yet here she is, waking up beside charismatic vamp Alec Royce with an aching head…and neck. Luckily, Shia has the perfect excuse for getting out of town–namely, a couple of irate East Coast werewolf packs who’d like to turn her into a chew toy.

On Royce’s suggestion, Shia temporarily relocates to Los Angeles. But something is rotten–literally–in the state of California, where local vampires are being attacked by zombies. Who could be powerful enough to control them–and reckless enough to target the immortal? Following the trail will lead Shia to a terrifying truth, and to an ancient enemy with a personal grudge…


****GIVEAWAY****
To celebrate the release of Forsaken by the Others, basically, there's a whole mess of stuff you can win. You all know how this works by now, so check out the Rafflecopter widgets below (one for US, one for INT) and then enter! Please note: this is the 5th book in the series, so though you may be the kind that's willing to jump right in (and let's be honest, UF books are easier to jump into, so it's not not a possibility), if you're the type who needs to know everything that happened already, you may want to either grab the first four books or skip this one for now. =)

  2. Hmm... it depends on who's writing them. I typically love werewolves and vampires :)

  4. I enjoyed the book and loved the cliffhanger ending. Zombies aren't my thing; however, it did give the book and interesting twist. Starting the sixth book right now!
