Fan Pack Giveaway for The Taker by Alma Katsu!

Congratulations to the winner C.E. Hart!

On March 27, The Taker will be released as a paperback!

The Taker picked up some nice accolades, including being selected by the American Library Association as one of the top ten debut novels of 2011. It also made the extended bestsellers list in the UK and is off to a great start in Italy following the February 16th release



"True love can last an eternity . . . but immortality comes at a price. . . ."
On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae--Lanny--walks into his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with a past and plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever met. He is inexplicably drawn to her . . . despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. And as she begins to tell her story, a story of enduring love and consummate betrayal that transcends time and mortality, Luke finds himself utterly captivated.

Her impassioned account begins at the turn of the nineteenth century in the same small town of St. Andrew, Maine, back when it was a Puritan settlement. Consumed as a child by her love for the son of the town's founder, Lanny will do anything to be with him forever. But the price she pays is steep--an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate for all eternity. And now, two centuries later, the key to her healing and her salvation lies with Dr. Luke Findley.

Part historical novel, part supernatural page-turner, "The Taker" is an unforgettable tale about the power of unrequited love not only to elevate and sustain, but also to blind and ultimately destroy, and how each of us is responsible for finding our own path to redemption.

To celebrate the paperback release of "The Taker" by Alma Katsu, she has offered up this amazing fan pack!

The pack includes a proof of the trade paperback cover, a spoofy wine label made for The Reckoning, bookmarks, post-it notes and a Reckoning pen, and a copy of the book. (All pictured except for the book.)

I have personally read tons of reviews on The Taker and I read so many bloggers who said they didn't think they'd enjoy cause not their normal reading genre, but ended up loving it!  So now is your chance to win this fantastic fan pack! All you need to do is comment below and leave me your email address. This giveaway is for US/Canada only (No p.o. boxes) I'd love for you to follow my blog by GFC or subscribe by email, but not a requirement! This giveaway will close March 27, so if you don't win you can run out and grab it in paperback! Good luck!

  9. This book is amazing! After reading it I became hooked! Literally, I’m addicted to it! I have read it several times. It reminds me of why I like to read so much. I even purchased the magazine, Portland Monthly, that Alma Katsu published her short story “The Wedding Party” in. I even have an ARC of “The Taker”. I am such a die hard fan. This is the best book I have read since 2005! Winning this contest would mean the world to me!
