Rob Thurman GIVEAWAY!

Rob Thurman GIVEAWAY!

That’s right! New York Times bestselling author Rob Thurman’s latest book in the incredible Cal Leandros series, Doubletake, will be released 03.06.2012! (I already have my copy pre-ordered. And I can’t wait until it’s in my hot little hands.) I fell in love with this series with book one, Nightlife. As soon as I finished it, I promptly started over and read it again. This is a riveting and compelling story about two brothers–who only have each other–who take on monsters of all kinds, including the darkest and deadliest monsters of all–those in your own family. This series usually has me sucking in a breath and sitting on the edge of my seat, then laughing my ass off.

If you enjoy Supernatural, trust me, you’ll LOVE Rob Thurman’s Cal Leandros books. (Nightlife pre-dates Supernatural, actually.)

So to help my friend celebrate the release of her latest, we’re giving away three signed copies of Doubletake!!

To enter the contest, just post a comment stating who your fave character in the Cal Leandros books is or, if you haven’t given them a try yet (and you should. You are so depriving yourself otherwise), simply post a comment below. Receive extra points (2 points for each outlet you use) for tweeting about this contest or posting about it on Facebook (please provide links) or on any other social media. So spread the word for more chances to win!

Contest has ended. The winners are: Dana A., Judy, and Melankalia. Congrats!

 

Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko’s shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race – including the Leandros’ friend, Robin- featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win.

As Cal tries to keep both Niko and Robin from paying the ultimate price for their kin, a horrific reminder from Cal’s own past arrives to remind him that blood is thicker than water…

And that’s why it’s so much more fun to spill.

Rob also has available some awesome (and free) audio, music, and wallpaper downloads. And be sure to check out the book trailer (chockful of HOT MEN)! You can also read excerpts from all the previous books in the series on Rob’s website (not to mention finding buy links.)

**I’m loving everyone’s comments below! If you need any more reasons to try this series, please read the comments being posted.

For those of you eager to try something different, consider picking up book one in this series, NIGHTLIFE. You’ll learn all about Cal and Nikos and nightmare they’ve lived since Cal was born.

Cal is my fave character, but his brother Nikos is a damned close second. Love Robin Goodfellow too. ;)

  1. I have not read this series but I am going to ck it out now. THX for the awesome giveaway.

  2. I haven’t read the series either, but I’m always on the hunt for some good reads! Thanks for the info and the giveaway contest! 🙂 Im posting a link to my facebook!

  3. I love the Cal Leandros series. Snarky comments that keep me snickering every time I read them. Thank you Rob Thurman.

  4. It’s SO hard to choose a favorite character, but I’ll say Niko. He’s so devoted to Cal, and his dry wit just kills me… but not literally, though I’m pretty sure it COULD.

    Thanks for the chance!! 🙂

  5. Love love love this series! Very hard to choose a favorite character since Cal, Niko, and Puck are all in top place depending on the situation. Phenomenal!

  6. Okay first I have to say, I’m in love with this series! Always get so excited when a new book comes out (: I love both Niko and Cal to bits.

  7. I am so excited for Doubletake. I have been posting some of my favorite quotes from the books on my tumblr (http://www.tumblr.com/blog/bookwormbrianna). I would have to say my favorite character is Niko, because he is both so subdued, yet badass and awesome. But Cal is a close second 🙂

  8. I actually havnt tried them, but i take your word, that i should! and would like to try it

    share contest on twitter and facebook

  9. Looks amazing.Thanks for the giveaway!

  10. I have not read this series yet but would love to read them. I’m always looking for new authors to add to my collections 🙂 As I am one to keep my books and re-read them over and over I wouldn’t mind having someone new to add to my list of future books.

  11. If I absolutely *had* to choose a favorite, I guess I’d go with Cal. Because I am just all about the snarkiness. Niko would be an extremely close second, and beyond that, I am weirdly attached to Salome. I mean, how could you not love the homicidal mummified cat???

    Also, I reposted your contest to my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100000885921231

  12. I love Georgie and Robin. Definite favorites!

  13. It so hard to choose my favorite character… If Niko and Robin get together thenNobin would be my favorite character.. XD Please pick me!!!

  14. This author’s new to me. I hopped on over to check it out because I saw someone’s shout about it over on FB (All Things Books, I believe). But the book/series sounds pretty cool. Yes I am a Supernatural fan. And you’re trumping of it is enough to get anyone to give them a go.
    Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  15. Looks like a great series, putting them on my list!!

  16. This looks like an awesome book! I haven’t read this yet but would love to as I’m an absolute book fanatic and a sucker for series books!

    Thank you for your generosity and this fantastic giveaway!

  17. i have’t had the pleasure of reading these books but i trust certain peoples word about book so i most certainly will read them.

  18. Added link to my facebook….

  19. I Love anything my wife likes and love Adrian’s books so i trust when she says they are awesome.

  20. I haven’t read this series yet but I am totally intrigued now. Recommended by Adrian and like Supernatural? Sold!!

    I will be sharing on Facebook.

  21. Thanks for doing this. If you haven’t read this books yet, get started NOW! They’re simply awesome! Hard to choose a fave. I’d love to spend an evening with Niko and if you can get past that calm reserve….but honestly Robin is probably my favorite. How can you NOT love Robin at least half as much as Robin loves Robin. LOL! From his complaints/demands and his crazy antics to his honest loyalty to the boys when push comes to shove, he captures your attention again and again. Oh and reposted on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/MaggieMaeShort/posts/315523518500850

  22. So lovin’ this series – keep them coming!

  23. I hope this contest ends on 03.06.2012 (rather than 2010, haha)

    My favorite character is definitely the main character, Caliban. He’s snarky, grumpy and quick-tempered but has a loyalty streak that’s a mile wide and there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for for those he considers his family or friends. Sarcastic and cynical but underneath that badass exterior he’s someone I really want to meet. Heck yeah! Cal’s my man!

  24. I’ll be honest and admit that I have not read this series yet but your post makes me wish I had this series in hand right now. Id love a chance to try the series though, thank you for the awesome giveaway. And congrats to Rob Thurman on the new release!

  25. Cal is my favorite – the snark, the angst, his love for Niko and loyalty to friends. And his one-liners make me laugh-out loud (you should see the looks I get on the train when I am reading them…)

  26. I’m loving everyone’s comments! If you need any more reasons to try this series, please read the comments being posted.

    For those of you eager to try something different, consider picking up book one in this series, NIGHTLIFE. You’ll learn all about Cal and Nikos and nightmare they’ve lived since Cal was born.

    Cal is my fave character, but his brother Nikos is a damned close second. Love Robin Goodfellow too. 😉

  27. I have to say that I love Cal and Niko. I can’t choose one over the other because they are basically one entity. Can’t have Cal without Niko, and can’t have Niko without Cal. 😛 And I obviously love all of the other characters too 😛

  28. My favorite character is Cal. I love his sarcasm and I enjoy watching him grow and change in the big and little ways.

  29. I’ve never read it, but I need to now, because of this description: … blood is thicker than water… And that’s why it’s so much more fun to spill. Totally spine tingling!

  30. Gotta love robin and his cat!

  31. I adore Niko!! He is just so sexy. Cal is great — and of course Goodfellow. But I want to hang out with Niko.

  32. My fav character is Niko. He is loyal, disciplined and will do anything to keep Cal save. Their adventures are kick ass. I too really enjoy this series. Would love to have a copy of the latest book. I think it is great that you are helping out a fellow author.

  33. Niko is my favorite character. He’s so fiercely devoted and loyal to his brother and that dry humor makes him fantastic.

  34. Oh, man, I can only choose ONE? Because it sure feels like Cal and Niko come packaged together with a little warning on the back ‘Older Brother Not Sold Separately.’
    Okay, okay. Hmmmmmm…
    Cal.
    Because how can you not love a guy who hesitates on a deathblow to deliver a snarky tagline? 😀

  35. they look amazing…guess i need to play catch up on them…and if it’s anything like Supernatural, you know I’M all over it!

  36. Kitana Bradford, you are SO right! Cal and Niko DO come packaged together “Older Brother Not Sold Separately.” LOL. I absolutely love that!

    Also true about loving a guy who hesitates on a death blow in order to deliver a snarky line. Love Cal. Love Niko.

  37. Judy, thanks! Not only is Rob an amazing author and a friend, I want to be sure EVERYONE is reading her work! Thanks for spreading the word!

  38. Jessica, I ADORE Robin’s undead mummy cat! Ever since she joined the story line, I’ve wanted an undead mummy cat of my own. Not that my current living four would like that. Not that they have anything against undead mummy cats, just more cats in general. LOL.

  39. Conn, you and everyone else who haven’t discovered these books yet will love them. I’ve read them all twice (immediately after reading them the first time) and the first one (NIGHTLIFE), I’ve read three times. So far. 😉

  40. Oh wow! One of my favorite authors offering up books from another favorite! I love Rob’s books because of the relationships she creates between her characters and their badass attitudes. Niko is, of course, my favorite with Cal a close second. I introduced my son to them (he’s 17) & ended up having to buy him his own copies because he liked them so much he kept snitching them off my shelves. I’ve already preordered one copy but I’d love to win a copy of Doubletake, because there’s going to be a war over who gets to read it first and I’ll probably lose.

  41. Big, BIG fan of Rob’s books. I can never win a contest because I’m all the way down (south america) but I have every book, and they are realy expensive with the international delivery! Anyway, I wanted to take part in this and say that my favorite is Cal but without Nik there’s no Cal so… both?

  42. Kris M., thanks so much for pointing out that I put 2010 instead of 2012 on the contest end date. Heh.

  43. These books sound amazing. So glad Adrian promoted these on her Twitter account or I would have missed out on a great series. Thanks for the info and thanks for taking the time to do this!!

  44. Amanda, they ARE amazing! (And you’re more than welcome!) Thank you so much for entering the contest. <3

  45. I actually won a contest once about my favorite supernatural character using Robin as the example, but as much as I do adore him, Cal really is my favorite. He’s just so complex and interesting to read about. It’s the balance of darkness and humor that keeps me coming back for more and more! Thanks for the opportunity to win a signed copy of the book, that would be such a thrill.
    I tweeted about the contest as well.
