From Author Elyssa Patrick
With one look, I’m his . . .
With one touch, he’s mine . . .
With one kiss, it changes everything between us . . .
I’ve been famous since I can remember. Singing, acting, dancing—I’ve done it all. The tabloids cover my every move, but I don’t want that anymore. I want to be normal, whatever that is.
When I leave Hollywood for college in Vermont, I’m on my own for the first time in my life. This is my chance to figure out who I am and what I want in life.
But it’s a lot harder than I expected. I can’t escape my image. Classes are difficult, and I’m struggling. And then there’s Caleb Fox.
Sexy, intriguing Caleb Fox.
Caleb is the one man who doesn’t want to use me. He breaks down my walls. He challenges me. He wants me. And I just don’t know if I can give him the same—or if he’ll stick around when he finds out my shameful secret that the tabloids haven’t managed to uncover.
Dating him is risky enough, but loving him could break me.

Ilona Andrews
The world has suffered a magic apocalypse. We pushed the technological progress too far, and now magic returned with a vengeance. It comes in waves, without warning, and vanishes as suddenly as it appears. When magic is up, planes drop out of the sky, cars stall, electricity dies. When magic is down, guns work and spells fail.
It’s a volatile, screwed-up world. Magic feeds on technology, gnawing down on skyscrappers until most of them topple and fall, leaving only skeletal husks behind. Monsters prowl the ruined streets, werebears and werehyenas stalk their prey; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds.
In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But sometimes even trained killers make friends and fall in love, and when the universe tries to kick them in the face, they kick back.
Tracey Garvis Graves
Tracey Garvis Graves breakout novel On the Island hit #5 on the New York Times bestseller list and has sold over 500,000 copies to date, all for a book that Tracey originally promoted from her dining room table with guerilla marketing for less than $1,500. Her recent eSpecial Uncharted: An On The Island Novella delighted fans by reuniting them with T.J. and Anna, uncovering the truth behind the mystery of the island𔃅s shack, and leaving Tracey𔃅s rabid audience hungry for more.
Now Tracey returns with her first hardcover novel COVET (Dutton; $25.95; September 17, 2013) which explores an intriguing subject often overlooked in women𔃅s fiction: emotional affairs. A captivating story about three people who must choose between temptation, honor, and love, COVETintroduces us to Chris and Claire whose marriage is on the brink of fracturing. This mesmerizing novel asks the provocative question – what if the life you wanted, and the person you loved, belonged to someone else? Like a Jennifer Weiner, Emily Giffin, or Kristen Hannah novel, COVET is a smart, touching, and funny drama about relatable, intriguing people and relationships.
Yay!
Love Ilona Andrews!! And I really enjoyed On the Island.
I would take cupcakes!
Thanks for that, it’s very nice of yours!!
I hope I win!
awesome
Wonderful giveaway, I think I would want a dog with me if I was on an island.
Wonderful give-away! I adore Kate Daniels!!!
Love anything written by the Andrews :-) It would be fabulous to re-read these!
The Kate Daniels books would be such a treat.
What awesome and generous giveaways! So exciting!
I’d love to have an actual set of Kate Daniels books!!!! That way I’d have them to take with me if I were shipwrecked because let’s face it with my luck my Kindle Fire would get broken in the aftermath……LOL!!!!!!
I love the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. It has amazingly detailed world-building and characters with emotion and depth. A must for any urban fantasy fan!
i love the kate daniels series. i went to work at 4am the day the last book came out, my back hurt etc etc after work still had to go immidiatly to barns and noble to get the book and devoured it.
I will miss Kate when I finish all the books!
Love Kate Daniels!
The Kate Daniels series is one of my favorites. The newest book was excellent.
Great giveaway. Thanks!!
Absolutely love Kate Daniels series! <3
I would definitely bring a good book if I was shipwrecked
I love the Kate Daniels series. Thanks for the give away!
I first read Magic Bites when it was released. Didn’t think it was my sort of book, and didn’t think anymore of it. Came across the first edge book, loved it, read the next, loved it, looked for more by those authors…Oh they wrote that darker series I tried awhile back, I’ll try it again.
I’ve now read all the edge books (a few times), followed ‘Clean Sweep’ and eagerly await a hard copy of it, get Illona Andrews’ blog sent directly to my email, pre-order each Kate Daniels as soon as I can and each time they arrive I have to read the whole series again.
I’ve entered the competition, but I haven’t decided yet, if I won what should I do?
Give the set to someone who would love them like I do? Or keep them for when my copies fall apart from rereading?
OOOOOH I want that Ilona Andrews! Please, I’ve had a terrible day but this would make it all worth it!
Oh WOW! Enter me please?!
Great giveaways! :-)
i looove kate daniels series! please include me in the contest! thank you :)
I love the Kate Daniel’s series :)
Simply put, Curran makes me purr.
thanks for the awesome giveaway, you guys!
These all look like great books, but I really enjoy the world of Kate Daniels.
I would so love to win the Kate Daniels series books
Ilona Andrews rock!!! I want KD books!!!!
I love the Kate Daniels series!!
I found out about this contest from the Ilona Andrews blog. What an awesome prize!
Ilona Andrews is my favorite author, I would love to have some singed books!
So pleased that Ilona Andrews has made her giveaway international. I’m in the UK! Love all their books.
Love Ilona Andrews!
Ilona Andrews is amazing!!
My trollop and I love Ilona and Andrew’s stories and we miss them terribly… Please move back to Portland. In the meantime, we’ll be happy to make-do with some signed back list titles =8^)>
GreatNorthernTroll.
Oh my… I have been a fan of KD series for years… I just wonder if it’s possible for me to win if I’m not in US…
My kindle would be a must!
Anything by Ilona Andrews is awesome! I wish they would come to the east coast so I could meet them in person but I’ll take the signed books to tide me over until then.
Um… a solar powered Ipod?
Thanks for the opportunity to win a set of the ilona Andrews books. They are my favority urban fantasy authors bar none!
love, love, love Ilona Andrews’ books!
I’d love to win Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels. Such a great and complexnks for the giveaway
I’m a big Ilona Andrews fan! Yay for signed books :)
The Kate Daniels series restored my faith in urban fantasy. A new Ilona Andrews book is something to be eagerly anticipated and it’s always kept for a day off so I don’t have to stop reading because of work and commuting. I recently discovered that a girl in my book club reads them too, so I have someone to gush about them with, as well as dissect them and speculate. I’m probably never going to be able to attend a signing, so I have to try to win signed copies!
Oh man, Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series has been on my wishlist for ages!
As for what I’d take when shipwrecked, the most useful thing I could think of would be Felix the Cat’s bag of tricks — that way, I’d always have whatever I truly needed.
Kate and Curran are the best! I’d love to win signed copies of their books.
So love these giveaways!
I just finished the first book in the Kate Daniels series (I loved it) so of course I want to get my hands on the rest of the books. What a great giveaway :)
I adore Kate Daniels, I’ve been giving her books to friends for years now. I’d adore signed copies which just means I have a whole other set to addict more people to Ilona’s amazing writing.
Thank you, Dear Author! These are fantastic giveaways. Good luck to all!
Gasp! Kate. Books. Must. Have. Droool…
Love Love Love Ilona Andrews!!!
Love Ilona Andrews!
I know its a long shot but what the hell.

I would love an endless supply of books and a hammock under some shade :D
Best giveaway EVER!!!!!!!
Ilona Andrews’ “Magic” books (Kate Daniels) are a pleasure to read, and re-read. I love the humor, the serious parts, the struggles, the successes, the twists and turns, the happy stuff and the sad, the variety of characters (and the character development), the variety of ideas, the flip-flops between magic and tech, and the differing world views. I love all of it. The world that Ilona Andrews has created, in all its wonderful intricacies, with all its wonderful characters, works for me.
Awesome giveaway! The authors and DA are very generous.
Signed copies of all the KD novels? My heart just exploded with greed.
Thanks for the opportunity :)

If I were shipwrecked…I’d take any of Ilona Andrews books with me! They would keep me satisfied
WANT!!!
This is one of my favorite series. Please enter me in the contest.
Currently, Kate Daniels is my favorite series period.
I can’t actually seem to find where to enter or what to do to enter but from the comments it seems people are answering a question?
If I was shipwrecked I would take my nook, I suppose. Just lie there and read in the sun ;)
I read the entire Kate Daniels series in 3 days, with unfortunate breaks in between because of chores, haha.
Ok, found it :D My internet is extremley dodgy, the rafflecopter form took 20 minutes to load, I’m not even joking. I hope it entered me, my internet is just…ugh.
Thanks for the giveaway!
If I was shipwrecked I think something to start a fire with would be essential.
Thanks for the month of give aways.
What a great set of giveaways!!! On a deserted island, I’m practical, so I can’t decide if I’d want either feminine items, or a pot so I could boil water. Tough question :)
:D
I love Kate Daniels.
I’d take my nook hd. I love it. I even put my Bible on it and take it to Bible Study. I have a Stacie profile for my books and a Study profile for church.
A fully loaded Kindle is always a great thing!
One entry and the comment messes up, still a chance :)
Love my Nook, but nothing beats reading an actual book…..unless there is coffee involved :)
OMG, signed copies of Ilona Andrews’ books? Fantastic!!!! A great author duo (and their blog is awesome, too.) Thanks for this giveaway!
Thanks for the great giveaways! If I had to bring just one thing, I’d bring my sister. We’d figure out a way to at least keep each other laughing as we languished.
The Kate Daniels backlist ::swoonworthy:: If I win I’m giving them to my a good friend who’s as much of a fan as I am, because it would make her very very happy.
I am a huge fan of Ilona Andrews and the Kate Daniels series, I have read every book!!
Love Ilona Andrews, what a great prize!
I love Ilona Andrews. Everything they write is just awesome and reading their books make me do my happy dance. No matter how many times I read them.
Well I would say my Kindle…but it would eventually die and then I’d be without it anyway…and carrying a suitcase of books is just not feasible. Hmmm… does my husband count as my one item? LOL
I would like Kate Daniels please.. Cant get enough of Curran..
Thank you for this giveaway
I love Kate Daniels!
I’m a newbie but excited to join this giveaway!
