Giveaway: The Iron Hunt by Marjorie M. Liu

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
In honor of Marjorie’s release of Darkness Calls today, I’m giving away one copy of The Iron Hunt.
From Barnes and Noble:
Silver smoke winds around my torso, peeling away from my ribs and back, stealing the dark mist covering my hands and lower extremities . . . tattoos dissolving into demon flesh, coalescing into small dark bodies. My boys. The only friends I have in this world. Demons.
I am a demon hunter. I am a demon. I am Hunter Kiss.
By day, her tattoos are her armor. By night, they unwind from her body to take on forms of their own. Demons of the flesh, turned into flesh. This is the only family demon hunter Maxine Kiss has ever known. The only way to live-and the very way she’ll die. For one day, her demons will abandon her for her daughter to assure their own survival-leaving Maxine helpless against her enemies.
But such is the way of Earth’s last protector-the only one standing between humanity and the demons breaking out from behind the prison veils. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment-and one man-changes everything . . .
Along with the book, the winner will also receive a flask necklace inspired by Kim MacDougall’s book Luminari and some author swag. (Thanks to Kim for donating the necklace!)
I’m limiting this to the US only due to shipping costs (sorry international readers). Since I’m sending it myself, PO Boxes are fine.
To enter:
- +5 entries for answering this question: What are some of the books on your TBR (to be read) list? (Name as many as you like, since I like to hear about what other people are reading)
- +5 entries for commenting on another post on my blog and coming back here and saying you did
- +10 entries (per place) for blogging about this contest on your blog, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Ning group, or other appropriate site. If you’re not sure of the site you want to post the link to this on, ask me. Please, don’t give me the link to the main site. The link has to be a specific link to where you placed my link. (Sidebar counts).
- +5 entries for referring another person here, and they say you referred them.
- +10 entries for voting in my book giveaway choices poll (If you choose ‘Other’, please type in a suggestion)
Make sure your email address is valid, since I don’t want to have to hunt you down.
This contest ends on July 14th at midnight EST. I’ll announce the winner on July 15th.
Good luck!

My TBR is absolutely huge (as in hundreds). I really shouldn’t enter any more contests but I’m an addict. In fact I’m seriously thinking about starting up a blog to give away some of my books as I finish them. Since I read them so fast, they don’t even look opened!
Next up is Maria V Snyder’s Storm Glass. Others at the top of the list are Mary Jo Putney’s Loving a Lost Lord, Jeannie Ruesch’s Something About Her, this months harlequin presents, Marjorie M Liu’s Darkness Calls, Melina Morel’s Prey, Susan Wiggs’ Lord of the Night……the beat goes on….
+ I voted other and put Lora Leigh’s Bengal’s Heart in the comments section.
