My International Giveaway

I have 4 ARC's that I received as a prize in a competition and I know I will not read  at the moment so I thought I would put a little giveaway on the blog of my own.

The books in question are:




Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris
Synopsis: If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being, who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton. In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.



The Bad Tuesdays: Blood Alchemy by Benjamin J. Myers
Synopsis: Chess Tuesday is on her own. Her brothers, Box and Splinter, are prisoners in another world. Now, Chess must discover who she really is and go on to fight the Twisted Symmetry alone. But Box and Splinter don't bargain on staying prisoners for long. Box is determined to fight his way back to Chess. Meanwhile, Splinter has other ambitions. For a street rat with brains, the Twisted Symmetry may provide the ideal opportunity .





The Indredible Luck of Alfie Puck by Jamie Rix
Synopsis: What do a worried prime minister, a chicken dropped from a skyscraper window, a bully called Fox and an alien invasion have in common? All are ingredients in Jamie Rix's riotous new stand-alone novel for the 9-12 age group. Alfie Pluck is the unluckiest boy alive - until he unwittingly eats the chicken which contains the highly-sought-after luck gene. Once his secret is exposed, no end of people want the gene for their own devious deeds and crackpot schemes. And Alfie is on the run. But there's more than one kind of luck, and Alfie's escape from his pursuers is an hilarious roller coaster of good fortune and bad.



Phillipa Fisher and the Stone Fairys Promise by Liz Kessler
Synopsis: Philippa is looking forward to spending New Year in the village where her new friend Robyn lives. But her fairy godsister Daisy, assigned to a new job but disobeying orders as usual, turns up to warn her that something really bad (SRB) is going to happen! What they don't know is that a fairy has gone missing from the ancient stone circle on the moors -and that at ATC (Above the Clouds) Headquarters, the fairy godmothers in charge have a special plan for them. A perfect story for Liz Kessler's many fans, in which humans and fairies swap worlds with dramatic and unexpected consequences.

  1. Oooh! I'm interested in the Sookie Stackhouse one. I have a copy of the Liz Kessler one though. I didn't realise it was in a series though. I went to visit an old friend who used to work in the bookstore with me (he now works for Waterstone's) and he gave me a bunch of ARCs. It was nice of him.

    Also, good luck on your giveaway!
