The Shadow Reader Giveaway Blast

The Shadow Reader Trilogy Swag-For-Brag Giveaway Blast

December 31, 2013 was the best New Years Eve I've had in a long time. The Sharpest Blade, the third book in my Shadow Reader series, hit the shelves. The Shadow Reader books follow McKenzie Lewis, a human who can not only see the fae, but she can track them when they fissure (or teleport) from place to place. That little talent of hers has put her in the middle of a fae civil war, a war that finally comes to a conclusion in The Sharpest Blade.

Readers have waited a long time for this book. Iím so grateful for their patience, and for all their support these last few years. The reception McKenzie has received has been awesome, and Iíve met so many wonderful readers since The Shadow Reader was published. Thank you all for sharing McKenzieís adventures with me, and I hope 2014 brings you many hundreds of fabulous and kickass reads.
About Sandy Williams
Sandy Williams author picSandy Williams has lived and breathed books all her life. When she was a teen, she was always the first to finish her class assignments so that she could read as much as possible before the bell rang. Her grades didn't suffer (much), and she was able to enroll in Texas A&M University. She didn't sneak in novels there, but every other line of her college lecture notes are filled with snippets of stories. After she graduated, she decided to turn those snippets into books.

Sandy is the author of The Shadow Reader novels, an urban fantasy romance series about a human who can both see and track the fae. When Sandy isn't writing, she's taking care of her twin boys, who also debuted in 2011. They keep her busy, but she's occasionally able to sneak in time to read books by her favorite authors, and she still enjoys playing EuroGames like Dominion, 7 Wonders, and Agricola.

There can only be one allegiance. Itís her time to choose.

Some humans can see the fae. McKenzie Lewis can track them, reading the shadows they leave behind. But some shadows lead to danger. Others lead to lies.

A Houston college student trying to finish her degree, McKenzie has been working for the fae king for years, tracking vicious rebels who would claim the Realm. Her job isnít her only secret. For just as long, sheís been in love with Kyol, the kingís sword-masteróand relationships between humans and fae are forbidden.

But any hope for a normal life is shattered when sheís captured by Aren, the fierce and uncompromising rebel leader. He teaches her the forbidden fae language and tells her dark truths about the Court, all to persuade her to turn against the king. Time is running out, and as the fight starts to claim human lives, McKenzie has no choice but to decide once and for all whom to trust and where she ultimately stands in the face of a cataclysmic civil war.

The Shattered Dark
A love declared. A war waged. A future endangered.

McKenzie Lewis has a gift. It allows her access to a world few have seen, and even fewer can comprehend. Itís her secret. And it exists in the shadows.

McKenzie was a normal college student, save for one little twist: sheís a shadow reader, someone who can both see the fae and track their movements between our world and the Realm. Itís a gift for which she has been called insane, one for which she has risked family and friendsóand one that has now plunged her into a brutal civil war among the fae.

With the reign of the king and his vicious general at an end, McKenzie hoped to live a more normal life while exploring her new relationship with Aren, the rebel fae who has captured her heart. But when her best friend, Paige, disappears McKenzie knows her wish is, for now, just a dream. McKenzie is the only one who can rescue her friend, but if sheís not careful, her decisions could cost the lives of everyone sheís tried so hard to save.

Torn between two worlds. Torn between two lives.

McKenzie Lewisís ability to read the shadows has put heróand Öthose she lovesóin harmís way again and again. The violence must end, but will the cost of peace be more devastating than anyone ever imagined?

After ten years of turmoil, the life McKenzie has always longed for may finally be within her grasp. No one is swinging a sword at her head or asking her to track the fae, and she finally has a regularóalbeit boringójob. But when a ruthless enemy strikes against her friends, McKenzie abandons her attempt at normalcy and rushes back to the Realm.

With the fae she loves and the fae sheís tied to pulling her in different directions, McKenzie must uncover the truth behind the war and accept the painful sacrifices that must be made to end it. Armed with dangerous secrets and with powerful allies at her side, her actions will either rip the Realm apartóor save it.
