#AudiobookMonth Hound's Bite Release Party Giveaway

Happy Audiobook Month!  We're celebrating Audiobook Month and the highly anticipated HOUND'S BITE audiobook release with a HUGE giveaway.  Keep reading for details on how to win a Hound's Bite Prize Pack with gorgeous earbuds and swag signed by the author and narrators.

New Release: Hound's Bite Audiobook Urban Fantasy

Hound's Bite (Ivy Granger Psychic Detective #5) by E.J. Stevens.  Narrated by Melanie Mason and Anthony Bowling.

Ivy Granger thought she left the worst of Mab's creations behind when she escaped Faerie. She thought wrong.

In a cruel twist of fate, Ivy has unleashed a powerful horde of Unseelie beasts upon her city, turning her homecoming into a potential slaughter of innocents. Now Ivy must gather her allies to fight a reputedly unstoppable force—The Wild Hunt.

Will the training Ivy received in her father's court be enough to save her city, or will Harborsmouth be forced to kneel before the Lord of the Hunt? She is willing to risk her own life, but some sacrifices come at a cost worse than death. When an ally is bitten by one of The Wild Hunt's hounds, Ivy must face the possibility that winning this battle may mean killing the one person she has come to love most.

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Mystery, Supernatural Suspense

#AudiobookMonth Tip: How to Save Money on Audiobooks

Do you love audiobooks?  Want to learn ways to save money and get more books?

Top Audiobook Money Saving Tips

  • Whispersync
  • Free Book with Free 30 Day Trial Audible Membership
  • Audible Membership
  • Giveaways
  • Libraries

Whispersync for Voice:  Whispersynch is my favorite way to save money on audiobooks.  Want to give it a try?  Ivy Granger books qualify for Whispersynch, including Shadow Sight, Ghost Light, Club Nexus, Burning, Bright, and Birthright.  Grab the Kindle book for $2.99-$3.99, and Amazon and Audible will offer you a low price of $1.99 to add the audiobook on Audible!  That's a HUGE savings over the audiobook retail price and you get both books.

(Pro Tip:  Switch seamlessly between reading the Kindle book and listening to the audiobook.  Watch this great video on using Whisperync to see how easy it is.)

Free Book with Audible Trial:  If you are thinking about trying a monthly Audible membership for the first time, be sure to get your Free Book when you sign up.  The Audible membership is free the first month and a low, monthly fee after that.  You can cancel at any time, which means there's no obligation to stick with Audible after your free trial.  Follow this link to get Shadow Sight free, and embark on your new membership and kick off the Ivy Granger series.

(Want to get your free book, but have already listened to Shadow Sight?  Here are links to begin your free Audible trial with any Ivy Granger book!  Blood and MistletoeGhost LightClub NexusBurning BrightBirthright.)

Audible Membership:  As mentioned above, it's free to sign up for a new Audible membership.  But even if you've had a membership in the past and don't qualify for the freebie, it's a low, set monthly price, they'll exchange a book if you don't like it, and you can cancel at any time (your books are yours to keep).  Let's face it.  Audiobooks, especially full-length novels, can be expensive.  If you listen to a lot of audiobooks, this is a great way to save money.  You get one book per month for $14.95 which works out to around a $5 savings.  That's a savings of $60 per year.  Not too shabby, especially when you combine it with some of these other tips and tricks.

(Pro Tip:  Use your Audible membership for the most expensive books on your TBR list, and pay out-of-pocket for shorter, cheap reads.)

Giveaways:  Keep an eye out for giveaways.   Follow your favorite book blogs, do a Google search, or follow audiobook Facebook groups.  This can be a great way to win an audiobook, or audio related swag (such as these gorgeous, custom earbuds I'm giving away this month).

(Pro Tip: When looking for blogs or Facebook groups search for "audio book" and "audiobook" since both spellings are used.)

Libraries:  Many libraries offer audiobooks.  If you don't mind waiting on the hold's list, this can be a great way to supplement your monthly listening with free reads.


Happy Audiobook Month!

Birthright Audiobook Release Party Swag Giveaway

Happy Audiobook Month!  To celebrate Audiobook Month and the audio release of BIRTHRIGHT, the fourth full-length novel in the award-winning Ivy Granger urban fantasy series, we're giving away an Ivy Granger swag pack.

Birthright (Ivy Granger, Psychic Detective #4) by E.J. Stevens, narrated by Melanie Mason and Anthony Bowling.

Birthright (Ivy Granger, Psychic Detective #4) by E.J. Stevens, narrated by Melanie Mason and Anthony Bowling.

Being a faerie princess isn't what it's cracked up to be...

Ivy must go to Faerie, but the gateway to the Wisp Court is through Tech Duinn, the house of Donn—Celtic god of the dead. Just her luck.

Unable to share her secret with Jinx, and with Jenna called away on Hunters' Guild business, Ivy must rely on Ceff and Torn to lead her to Death's door, literally, and back again. As if that wasn't dangerous enough, there's no saying what horrors lay in store within the Faerie realm. Too bad the Wisp Court is the one lead Ivy has in the search for her father—and possible salvation.

Maybe hiding away and dodging sidhe assassins isn't so bad after all.

Audiobook Release + Giveaway: Blood and Mistletoe

We're celebrating the audiobook release of BLOOD AND MISTLETOE with a fabulous giveaway.

Just in time for Audiobook Month!

Audiobook Release Blood and Mistletoe by E.J. Stevens urban fantasy Ivy Granger series

Blood and Mistletoe (Ivy Granger #1.5) by E.J. Stevens, narrated by Melanie A. Mason and David-Wilson Brown.

Holidays are worse than a full moon for making people crazy. In Harborsmouth, where many of the residents are bloodsucking vampires or monstrous fae, the combination may prove deadly.

Ivy Granger, psychic private investigator, returns to the streets of Harborsmouth in this addition to the bestselling urban fantasy series.

Holidays are Hell, a point driven home when a certain demon attorney returns with information regarding a series of bloody murders. Five Harborsmouth residents have been killed and every victim has one thing in common—they are fae. Whoever is killing faeries must be stopped, but they only leave one clue behind—a piece of mistletoe floating in a pool of the victim's blood.

The holidays just got interesting. Too bad this case may drive Ivy mad before the New Year. Heck, she'll be lucky to survive Christmas.

Genre:  Paranormal, Urban Fantasy

Now available in audiobook at Audible, Amazon, and iTunes!
