GIVEAWAY: Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

I am giving away my ARC of Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. It doesn’t come out until October 2010, but you have the chance to read it now!

My earlier review of it is here. In short, I thought it was an entertaining read, but I wasn’t wow-ed. Maybe you’ll like it better? Either way, I think we can all agree the cover is beautiful.

A brief summary, more information at my review:

NIGHTSHADE (October 19, 2010, Philomel)
While other teenage girls daydream about boys, Calla Tor imagines ripping out her enemies’ throats. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Calla was born a warrior and on her eighteenth-birthday she’ll become the alpha female of the next generation of Guardian wolves. But Calla’s predestined path veers off course the moment she saves the life of a wayward hiker, a boy her own age. This human boy’s secret will turn the young pack’s world upside down and forever alter the outcome of the centuries-old Witches’ War that surrounds them all.
