Win a NOOK Loaded With the Personal Demons Trilogy!

ONE WEEK! That's how long it is until the release of the final book in the Personal Demons trilogy. I'm hoping that some of you might want to read it. To get you warmed up, here's LAST RITE in a nutshell...

The Song That is LAST RITE:

The Jacket Copy:

In this final installment of the thrilling, edgy Personal Demons series, the battle between Heaven and Hell has become critical, and Frannie Cavanaugh is right at the center of it.

With the help of the powerful angel Gabe and demon-turned-mortal Luc, Frannie has been able to stay one step ahead of the forces of Hell. But when the demons killed Frannie's best friend and destroyed her brother, they raised the stakes. If Frannie wants to keep her family and friends safe, she knows she has no choice but to go on the run.

Their best defense is the power Frannie has been struggling to master, but her attempts to hone her skill go horribly awry. If Frannie doesn't learn fast, the consequences could be devastating—even apocalyptic.

What happens when you can't outrun Hell...or trust the ones you love?

The Narrators:
LUC

Luc is a demon’s demon. He's worked in Hell's Acquisitions department for five millennia using every tool at his disposal to tempt teenagers down the fiery path. Frannie's just one more soul. Nothing special. But, from nearly the moment they meet, she makes him feel things. Things demons aren’t supposed to be able to feel. Things he can’t even begin to understand or articulate. But things that make him question everything that he is, nonetheless. He knows Frannie doesn't deserve the fate that King Lucifer has planned for her and, for the first time he finds himself questioning his purpose. And when all of Hell comes after her, he has a choice to make.

GABE


Gabe has one goal: to keep Luc from getting what he came for. It's his only purpose, and he's willing to do whatever it takes. Because Frannie possesses a unique skill set that has King Lucifer tingling with anticipation, and, if Lucifer gets his hands on her, it would mean the end of Heaven—and therefore Earth—as we know it. But if he goes too far—far enough to lose his wings—he can’t protect Frannie, and he’s useless to her. So, the question is, how far is too far? Because, somewhere along the way he feels things change. What was just a job turns personal. He finds himself being drawn in—wanting Frannie in ways he shouldn’t. And, when it becomes clear that she wants him too, he has to decide if he’s willing to risk his wings—and maybe Frannie’s soul—for what he wants.

(Read his first POV from LAST RITE here.)

FRANNIE

Frannie finds herself in a place she never imagined, caught in an epic struggle for her soul between Heaven and Hell. And the stakes are high--the fate of Heaven, and therefore Earth hangs in the balance. With Luc and Gabe at her side, she hopes to stay one step ahead of Hell. But what happens when Hell has a face and it's someone you love?

Frannie has to decide who she can trust when no one seems to be telling the truth. And her choice might determine the fate of everything.

The song that is LAST RITE and ARC giveaway! (Plus, win John Green!)

There is a song. I play it all the time. It is not unusual to find me sitting in my car in the garage blasting it and screaming the lyrics at the top of my lungs. (Ask my kids.) I could hear it one hundred times in a row and the last 2 minutes will give me goose bumps every time. It is the musical embodiment of LAST RITE and I only wish I'd found it earlier because it would be in the acknowledgments.

This song is EPIC and I hope you'll think LAST RITE is too when you get a chance to read it. It's the culmination of Frannie, Luc and Gabe's struggle, and all Heaven's wrath rains down as all Hell breaks loose. The lyrics of this song totally tell Frannie, Luc and Gabe's story. (I swear the band must have hacked into my email or something!)

The song is War by Poets of the Fall, and here it is.


*note: Some of the lyrics near the end of this vid aren't quite right, but...

If you have not heard of this band, you must check them out. I love this song sooo much I'm giving a buttload of extra entries into this contest if you download this song from any legal music site.

So, the contest...

If you'd like a chance at your very own signed ARC of Last Rite, here's your chance to win one. Because I love you, I'll also throw in a signed copy of the amazing John Green's The Fault in Our Stars--which, btw, is still sitting on top of the NYT bestseller list. (You thought you were going to be able to win the real John Green, didn't you? Admit it ;p) A runner up will receive a signed copy of Original Sin.

















To enter, all you have to do is comment below and tell me any lyric (one full line) from the Poets of the Fall video embedded above. If you have a favorite, pick that =) You must be 13 or older to enter. Extra entries can be accumulated as follows:
