Truth Be Told's Countdown to the Blessed Event Giveaway!

Truth Be Told is giving away 2 hardcover copies of BLESSED by Cynthia Leitich Smith!! Winners will also receive a signed bookplate and a Sanguini's Magnetic Memo Board! To enter, go to their blog. Contest ends January 24th.

With a wink and a nod to Bram Stoker, bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith unites the casts of TANTALIZE and ETERNAL in a delicious dark fantasy her fans will devour.

Quincie Morris, teen restaurateur and neophyte vampire, is in the fight of her life — or undeath.

Even as she adjusts to her new appetites, she must clear her best friend and true love — the hybrid-werewolf Kieren — of murder charges; thwart the apocalyptic ambitions of Bradley Sanguini, the seductive vampire-chef who “blessed” her; and keep her dead parents’ restaurant up and running.

She hires a more homespun chef and adds the preternaturally beautiful Zachary to her wait staff. But with hundreds of new vampires on the rise and Bradley off assuming the powers of Dracula Prime, Zachary soon reveals his true nature — and his flaming sword — and they hit the road to staunch the bloodshed before it’s too late.

Even if they save the world, will there be time left to salvage Quincie’s soul?

HERE'S THE BOOK TRAILER!!

I absolutely loved TANTALIZE and ETERNAL--the first two books in Smith's "trilogy"--and I can't wait for BLESSED! I'm excited to read more about Quincey's story, and to revisit some of my favorite characters! (Hello, Zachary!) There are so many vampire and angel books out there, but Smith's really stand out for the way they play with the vampire/angel lore! And the vampire-themed restaurant--hilarious!! Looking forward to a Quincey & Zachary roadtrip of awesomeness! (And maybe...we'll see Miranda again? I really hope so.)
