Contest Monday: Win a Copy of Once Dead

I hope everyone had a fantastic Mother's Day. My mom sure got pampered. I slaved away all day in the kitchen. :-) But now that it's Monday, that means it's time to give away a free book! This week's prize is an ARC of Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison, due out on May 26th. So you can get it early!

About the Book (From the author's website): "Madison's prom was killer—literally. For some reason she's been targeted by a dark reaper—yeah, that kind of reaper—intent on getting rid of her, body and soul. But before the reaper could finish the job, Madison was able to snag his strange, glowing amulet and get away.

Now she's stuck on Earth—dead but not gone. Somehow the amulet gives her the illusion of a body, allowing her to toe the line between life and death. She still doesn't know why the dark reaper is after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course.

With a little ingenuity, some light-bending, and the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys! Maybe . . . ), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.

Well, if she believed in that stuff."
