We've got five copies of the manuscript for Jocelynn Drake’s DAYHUNTER, the New York Timesbestselling author’s action-packed sequel to NIGHTWALKER, as vampire enforcer Mira must stop the ancient vampire coven.
At the request of the Coven, Mira finds herself in Venice with Danaus “for their own protection.” Yet, the home of the nightwalker rulers is anything but safe when Mira discovers that the Coven has made a deal with a splinter faction within the naturi. Mira must deftly maneuver through Coven politics while protecting Danaus from both nightwalkers and the naturi. And before the end, she must find a way to stop the emerging naturi without being stabbed in the back by her own kind.

AND we've received our first reader review!
"As I started this novel, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I am not a big sci fi fan, though I did enjoy Anne McCaffrey and others like her. This book, though, truly surprised me. Reading like an urban fantasy with lush environments and memorable characters that draw you in, Allred immerses her readers into a place where those wanting good plot get it and those wanting a romance with action are equally satisfied." -- Ruby
Another gripping tale of suspense, murder, and alien intrigue on a distant planet featuring Diplomatic Corps Prosecutor Andrea Cort, is in stores now!
It should have been simple. Head secretly to a remote planet owned and run by a family of gun-runners, meet with the kingpin, and discover and thwart his nefarious agenda while also stopping the Unseen Demons--artificial intelligences run amok--from destroying the Federation.
But the life of Andrea Cort, Diplomatic Corps Prosecutor-at-Large is never easy. When assassins target Andrea the instant she steps on the planet, everything goes to hell. Soon she’s trapped in a locked-room trying to stop a murderer--and that’s just the beginning.

Kiera Smith wants one thing out of life -- to be normal. But stronger, faster, smarter, and more impervious to damage than her brethren, Kiera is a genetically engineered person unlike any others.
As a special agent she's been assigned to protect the indigenous Buri race from the none-too-honorable conglomerate Dynatec. And it's just the challenge she's been looking for: take down the largest independent trade company in the Galactic Federation and save a race of aliens from extinction, while resisting the advances of the handsome Buri leader.
For an ARE, send your name and mailing address to eosbooks@harpercollins.com to enter. US residents only, please. And CLOSE ENCOUNTERS goes on sale just two weeks from today, so the sooner you can write that review, the better!
