She's always suspected she could somehow cheat death, but Athena Gray has never fully understood why, until now.
Greetings! Welcome to the Young Adult Book and $25 Amazon gift card giveaway. This week's giveaway winner will receive a copy of my latest ebook, DEATH CHEATER, plus $25 to spend at Amazon whenever and however they choose.
DEATH CHEATER is a young adult paranormal featuring Athena Gray and one determined dark spirit she wants to get out of her life.
Athena Gray lives vicariously through her sister because people in general avoid her. Whether it's strange things like dead butterflies fluttering to life, or the time she saved her dying grandpa just by willing him to live, Athena knows that she is different. The only person who doesn't seem to think so is Dan, the most popular boy on Omega High School's baseball team. But even Dan can't understand the reason she acts haunted, until a spirit roaming the local historic burial mounds takes an interest in people Athena cares about.
**GIVEAWAY**
To win a copy of DEATH CHEATER and a $25 Amazon gift card, you must 1) follow this blog
and 2) leave a comment on this post that includes your contact information.
Contest ends 8/14 after midnight, EST. Winner will be drawn through random number generator and contacted via email. One entry per person. Comment/Entries with no contact information will be disqualified.
Excerpt from DEATH CHEATER:
A low rumble echoed around me, and the tall, dark trees went still. Not
even a leaf stirred. My heart hummed, and a tingle of apprehension made
my palms damp. A snarl came from the shadow of a tangled thorn bush, and
soft, padding footsteps shuffled in the late afternoon gloom. My
breathing went ragged with fear. Maybe it was a raccoon or an angry
squirrel.
Athena.
Whipping around, I stared hard into the murk. A voice. It sounded gentle, but at the same time it sent chills down my arms. I glanced up through the hooded canopy of tree branches and tried to see heaven.
God?
There was a growl, and the terror I'd been holding at bay zipped up my spine into my skull. I was sure my long hair stood on end, like when kids touched the electrostatic generator at the science museum.
Something was coming for me, and it wasn't something from the woods. It'd been following me all day. Maybe even my entire life.
Athena.

Best of luck, and please, share the news with your friends!
Stay Balanced!

Wow! I loved that suspenseful excerpt. It put me right in the forest along with Athena. Congratulations! .
I enjoyed Turtle Soup and am now reading By Heart and Compass. This sounds like another great Danielle Thorne book.
Sounds like an awesome story! If you need a review, send me the PDF:-)
