Thankful for Books Giveaway Hop (US/CAN)

Welcome to my stop on the Thankful for Books Giveaway Hop hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Tristi Pinkston! I'm thankful for all of the books in my life. As my shelves are overflowing, I'm going to be giving one of them away today.

What You Can Win



Katie is on the verge of her Rumspringa, the time in Amish life when teenagers can get a taste of the real world. But the real world comes to her in this dystopian tale with a philosophical bent. Rumors of massive unrest on the “Outside” abound. Something murderous is out there. Amish elders make a rule: No one goes outside, and no outsiders come in. But when Katie finds a gravely injured young man, she can’t leave him to die. She smuggles him into her family’s barn—at what cost to her community? The suspense of this vividly told, truly horrific thriller will keep the pages turning.

Since I loved Zombies vs. Mormons, why not try Vampires vs. Amish? And yes, I pre-ordered this months ago.

What are you waiting on this week?
