Reader's Choice -- Romantic Suspense / Mystery

 

GIVEAWAY


It's that time again -- when a bibliophile's fancy turns to new fall releases....and that means.....


 Reader's Choice Giveaway!
Autumn Edition!!

So here's how this thing works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in October, November or December 2020 (up to three suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it's a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.

**Special Note: In a bid to help bring more awareness to indie published books (which are harder to source pre-release date) I am going to include a list of indie books at the end of each blog post. If I discover more titles after this blog goes live, I'll list them all in caps in the comments.**

PLEASE NOTE: email entries are not eligible this week. :-(

IT'S ROMANTIC SUSPENSE / MYSTERY GIVEAWAY DAY!

To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the book(s) in the Romantic Suspense / Mystery genre you would like to win.

Romantic Suspense / Mystery Fiction

A full length story or novella or collection of novellas where the mystery is an important part of the plot. The hero or heroine (or both) are often in peril (more so in suspense.) Can be set in any time period -- contemporary or historical -- and cross genres such as YA, Amish or dual timelines.
How does it work?

Easy peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win, you win the book you suggested.


BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!

Publication dates must be
 October, November or December 2020
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions per genre day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier for me to tally)
No email entries this week
(too hard to keep track of due to
# of responses)
 entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on someone else's  logon)
Open to International Readers
I'm all about spreading the good news about Christian Fiction
all over the globe!!!!!

It's helpful if you include your email (using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers) but you only need to add it to one of your comments (per day). If you choose not to include your email then it's up to you to contact me if you're a winner.

Draw will held and winner announced on 
Saturday September 26 2020

  12. Here's another indie, Lynn Shannon wrote her first debut LI, Following the Evidence, but she also writes independent suspense. This one is about a profiler who has to testify at a trial for a serial killer who's determined to make this Christmas her last. Great cover too. Looks good.

    A witness protection theme has a mother/son on the run hiding at a Marshall's ranch for the holidays pretending to be his family.

  26. I will be reading & reviewing "Forgiven Again" by Gina Holder for November. She's a new-to-me as far as authors are concerned, but I have met her through Facebook about a year or so ago. Evidently this is the second book in the "Shadows Over Whitman" with the first one entitled "No Greater Love". In case anyone was wondering what to add to their TBR pile, lol!

    Okay so my picks for today. My tippy top favorite suspense author has a new series out with this book & I certainly don't want to miss it:

    1. Point of Danger by Irene Hannon~Triple Threat #1 (October)

    1. Wow, you've found three new ones. I haven't read any of the True Crime series -- that's never been my thing for that I adore suspense but I'm tempted to give Pepper Basham's a try. And I love Siri Mitchell -- this one sounds like a read edge-of-your-seater. Good luck, Liz!

    3. If not, you can put me in for The Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano.

      Delete
    4. That's odd -- it's not defined as mystery anywhere else and doesn't sound like a suspense. More a plot twist so I'll go with your second choice here. Good luck, Elly!
