Shadow Heir by Richelle Mead
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land’s prophecy-haunted queen, there’s no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld…
The spell-driven source of the blight isn’t the only challenge to Eugenie’s instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can’t trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can’t–or won’t–reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon–and risk the ultimate sacrifice.

Advent Calendar Day 23: The Restorer by Amanda Stevens + Giveaway
Welcome to the 23rd day of Book Lovers Inc Advent Calendar. Each day we will offer you one great read in a giveaway on all 24 days till Christmas.
Today, allow me to tell you a bit about a book by author Amanda Stevens: The Restorer. When I read the intriguing book description earlier this year, little did I know it’d end up being one of my absolutely favorite books of 2011. Sure, I was creeped out by the ghosty tale…but I loved every minute of it. The best way to describe this book is “atmospheric.” The language used to describe the environments, the dialogue, the emotions within the protagonist…it’s exquisite. This tale, about a woman who can (unfortunately for her) see spirits, has got mystery, the paranormal, and traces of romance. You will undoubtedly be struck by it long after you finish reading it. This book is the …

Blurb:
She may learn to live for love…if vengeance doesn’t kill her first.
Plix spends her lonely, gritty life trying to solve the mysteries her father left behind. Armed with a variety of cybernetic enhancements and a talent for getting into places she shouldn’t be, she searches for clues to his murder-and who’s responsible for poisoning her city.
Waking up on a street corner with her brain wiring fried to a crisp, she figures she must have gotten close this time. There’s only one man she trusts to pull her back from the brink: a tuner who can retrieve the evidence hidden deep in the recesses of her mind. A man she dares not let too …

Guest Post: Dealing with the Devil by Misty Evans + Giveaway
Please welcome to BLI the fabulous and prolific Misty Evans. She stops by today to talk about some of her life experiences and their influence on her writing. Like the gifted writer that she is, she can find inspiration in just about anything; even the biblical stories she grew up on. And in her written works, good and evil can be all relative!
I was raised in a Southern Baptist household and cut my teeth on Old Testament stories full of the Devil and damnation. Having an active imagination and a strong desire to find good in everyone, I was particularly taken by the story about Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. To me, it was a love story, maybe the greatest ever told. Adam gave up heaven on Earth to be with Eve after she ate from the apple. He could …
