Magic Thursday - Death's Sweet Embrace

Well release day is face approaching for the second Dark Brethren novel DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE. As I write this there is 47 days until the big day.

To celebrate the impending release and Magic Thursday I am giving away a DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE advance reader pack including:

1. A signed cover flat of the book
2. A signed eARC card
3. A bookmark
4. a magnet
5. And a downloadable eARC from NetGalley


A little about DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE -

After thousands of years of secret conflict, humans and parahumans have reached an uneasy truce. But unspeakable evil now threatens to shatter the tenuous peace.

Teenaged shapeshifters are being slaughtered by a twisted, sadistic serial killer who rips their still-beating hearts from their paralyzed bodies. A task force must be formed to halt the madness—a union of avengers including the vampiric Aeternus, Christian Laroque and Antoinette Petrescu, as well as Kitt Jordan and Raven Matokwe, members of enemy Animalian tribes…and forbidden lovers.

A centuries-old blood feud has divided their peoples—pitting wolf against snow leopard in a battle to the death—and if their passion is discovered it will doom them both. But past hostilities must be put aside in light of the scourge that is now upon them. For the killer they seek is but the first sign of a blossoming terror rising up from their long-buried pasts: the all-consuming nightmare of The Dark Brethren.


Here are what some of the advance reviews are saying about the novel:-

“Death’s Sweet Embrace, book 2 in the Dark Brethren series, is an action packed thrill ride filled with non-stop action, mystery and a touch of romance. Truly a unique view in the paranormal genre that shouldn't be missed.”

“Death's Sweet Embrace is another intriguing and sexy novel from the Dark Brethren series. The first, Night's Cold Kiss left readers in a trance with the creative storyline and beautiful romance that Tracey O'Hara has created. Fans will be far from disappointed with this installment as the paranormal world only deepens and the romance is just as sexy.”
  
So one lucky commenter will win this fabulous pack.Please help spread the word about the Darkside Downunder blog site.
