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.

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.
I just love this series. It’s hard to pick just one favorite character. Niko would be my favorite of the three main characters. He really loves Cal and he’s always taken care of him.

Ill have to go with Cal!
Cal is my favorite character (I love his sarcasm). Although, Niko comes a very close second (I love how protective he is of Cal).
I also retweeted your tweet https://twitter.com/#!/AdrianPhoenix/status/175295451124338688 @jade_bell
I have not read this series but I think I am going to..it sounds great. Thanks for introducing me to this series.
Always looking for a new series to read.
My favorite character is Cal and Goodfellow.
I think Niko is my favorite – it may come from being an older sibling myself.
My fav character is definitely Cal because of how snarky and dark-witted he is. I also love how devoted he is to his friends and how he doesn’t whine about shit unnecessarily (except maybe when Goodfellow is talking about his exploits.)
I haven’t read the books yet but I’d still love to win, thank you for the giveaway
I’d have to say Niko is my favorite. His devotion to his brother is what struck me and has stayed with me since I read the first novel. So rare, so pure. Just awesome.

I think this is the right link for what I shared on my facebook.
Niko is my favourite character. Hey, after all he has to put up with all of Cal’s snarkiness and stop Cal forking Robin. What a man!
I’ve heard great things about this series and would love to give it a shot!

I have some of Rob’s other books, but I haven’t read any of the Cal Leandros series yet. It does sound fantastic though, so I’m going to have to get started on it – I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
I’m really behind on this series but I’m liking. Plus I’ve had the chance to meet Rob and she’s awesome!
I love all the characters. Even the bad ones. When they are this well written how can you not?
My favorite character in the Leandros series is Niko. I love the love & faith he has in his brother regardless of how much Cal screws up & the protectiveness when he does…even with a little sarcasm thrown in.
Niko because he’s given up so much to take care of Cal and doesn’t complain about it.
My favorite just like many others is Niko. Being one of the few human’s in the series, he make up for his lack of Supernatural-ness with kick ass Ninja skills. I also love his ability to snark right back at Cal, showing how much he cares.

Thanks for the great giveaway! I’m also sooo far behind on this series. But so far, my fav is Niko 🙂
Cal is my favorite character with Robin coming in at a close second. I love Cal’s snarky attitude and laugh whenever he swears!

Hi, thanks for the contest for the free books. I just love Cal and Niko and look so forward to Tuesday the 6th. I love every book in this series and bought the kindle and regular book of the last Cal Series. I might do that again this time. Love the gorgeous cover of Doubletake. One thing I love best of real books in my hands. Thanks for the chance to win this book. Very fun idea, I’m Cheryl B
I love Cal’s snarkiness.
Really hard to choose – all are so unique . Niko – definitely and Goodfellow. But then there’s Cal. So Iguess that wasn’thelpful
Whoo hoo! Glad i saw this! Please enter me and THANK YOU for introducing me to this wonderful author – I’ve been hooked since the 1st chapter of NIGHTLIFE.
I haven’t read these books so I can’t pick a fave character, they sound great!
Robin Goodfellow. He seems to have the most fun–well, at least the most sex.
