What’s spookier than a graveyard a night?  One full of vampires, warrior angels, and statues that come to life.  Sylvia Day’s Adrian Mitchell from the first book in the new Renegade Angels series, A TOUCH OF CRIMSON (available now from Signet Eclipse), is telling us a suitably scary and sexy version of the Black Agnes urban legend.  And to sweeten the deal, Sylvia has very graciously provided a fantastic giveaway today including the first three books in her Marked series (EVE OF DARKNESS, EVE OF DESTRUCTION, and EVE OF CHAOS) & a stuffed tote bag from the RT Convention.  See details below.

The writing duo of Melinda Metz & Laura J. Burns are joining us for Spooky Legends today and are tackling one of the most famous urban legends ever: Chupacabra.  They also happen to be celebrating the release of the second book in the Crave paranormal YA series, SACRIFICE (available now from Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing).  If you haven’t read this series about a terminally ill girl and the vampire guy (Gabriel in the story below) who holds the cure, I highly recommend it.  To help you get started, Melinda & Laura are giving away two copies of SACRIFICE.  See details below.
