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.
