Hi there, everyone!
It's another exciting day here at Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers, if I do say so myself. You are probably wondering why you're encountering this post on a weekend, right? Understandable. It does go against my normal bloggish procedures and scheduling...however, we are celebrating the recent release of a title, and author's book tour, and I wanted to make sure you got a full two weeks to enter the contest. (Oh, no...I've said too much!)
Today marks the second half of author Melissa Marr's current tour (click the link embedded right there to view her remaining stops) in support of her recent book release, Radiant Shadows. For those of you not in the know, this is book number four in the Wicked Lovely series. We've done a review for Wicked Lovely here on SFIR before (here's the link, but be kind...it was only my third review on my blog...there is a learning curve) and for those that may have read it, you know that I enjoyed the book thoroughly. 
What you may not know is that I never read the follow-up books to it in the series, in fact...I didn't release that one of her books was even part of the same series, which almost found me skipping over it to get to some more faery encounters in Fragile Eternity. Needless to say, once I began reading that title, I discovered my error....by jove, I'm missing a bit of the storyline here...and set about trying to make things right (i.e. read the books in order). I never got around to it though and the amazing story began to fade into my readers memory...until now. 
When news of Radiant Shadows then impending release came my way, the series made its way make to the forefront of my mind. I immediately sought out a copy of the second title (Ink Exchange) to add to my reading rotation. Then came the chance of a lifetime (okay, not a lifetime lifetime, but a terrific chance nonetheless). Karen at Media Masters Publicity contacted me about Ms. Marr's upcoming tour and wanted to know if I would like to read and review a copy of this latest release. I couldn't say yes fast enough...though this left me in a bit of a quandry. I still needed to read two of the titles before I could read the newest addition. The challenge has been given...will the Insatiable Reader (that's me..hehe) be able to complete reading AND reviewing the last (for now) three books in this fun YA series? I'm about to find out, in the mean time...have I got an option for you.
Whether you are a long time fan of the series, or part of the newly initiated just getting their first taste of this world, you are in for a treat. Thanks to Karen at Media Masters Publicity I am able to offer to you one sparkly new copy of this new release! (YAY!) Let's move on to the detail portion of the post...

I've been following this series for a while, and it's just gotten progressively better. I love the characters (ESPECIALLY SETH) and the plot's getting so interesting, especially after the amazingness that was Fragile Eternity, and I can't wait to see what happens in this new book. I'd really love to be entered into this contest because I'm so excited for this book!

I would be a super hero in my family if I won this book. I reviewed Wicked Lovely a while back then gave the book to my teen . She loved it and has finished the second book and ready to read the third.
Had never heard of this author or these books until now! They sound quite good, though!
My daughters are big fans of this series
