ARC Giveaway: Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst

Hello readers! I’m giving away my ARC copy of Conjured to one lucky winner.  I started this a couple of weeks ago and sadly, it didn’t work out for me.  I think this is the old “it’s me not you” situation as I’ve seen high ratings for this story.  So I thought why let this languish on my bookshelf?  Why not give it away to someone who would appreciate it?


Conjured 

ARC copy of Conjured by Sarah Beth Durst
Publication Date:  September 3rd 2013
Publisher: Walker Books



Eve has a new home, a new face, and a new name—but no memories of her past. She’s been told that she's in a witness protection program. That she escaped a dangerous magic-wielding serial killer who still hunts her. The only thing she knows for sure is that there is something horrifying in her memories the people hiding her want to access—and there is nothing they won’t say—or do—to her to get her to remember.

At night she dreams of a tattered carnival tent and buttons being sewn into her skin. But during the day, she shelves books at the local library, trying to not let anyone know that she can do things—things like change the color of her eyes or walk through walls. When she does use her strange powers, she blacks out and is drawn into terrifying visions, returning to find that days or weeks have passed—and she’s lost all short-term memories. Eve must find out who and what she really is before the killer finds her—but the truth may be more dangerous than anyone could have ever imagined.



The giveaway is open INTERNATIONALLY and will run for two weeks.  Simply fill out the rafflecopter for a chance to win.  Good luck and thanks for visiting The Readers Den!

The synopsis itself makes me wanna read this book, and the character being under some sort of protection program et all - me likes that xD

Thanks for the giveaway =]]]]

You had me at magic-wielding serial killer. I'm also very curious about that carnival and generally to see Eve figure out what happened! Thanks so much for making this one international :)

I think this book sounds interesting because I'm really curious about what happened in Eve's past. It's clearly gotta be more than just being in a witness protection program.

I've always been really interested in carnivals and such. It just sounds so good! I'm sorry to hear that the book didn't work out for you, but thank you for the giveaway. :)

I love stories about mysterious pasts and this one has intrigued me for awhile. Thanks!

Amanda said...

Aw thanks for being so generous with an ARC that doesn't interest you so much, Rachel! This doesn't sound like my normal cup of tea, to be quite honest, but I'm hoping that I'll enjoy it after LOVING Durst's Vessel last year. :)

Sally@Always Lost in Stories said...

Thanks for the giveaway! I have enjoyed this author's other books and really want to get my hands on this one- I love books with a mystery to be unravelled.

Chenise Jones said...

I adore stories with unreliable narrators and this story sounds so creepy and weird!

Jaime Lester said...

It has magic! More importantly, it is by one of my favorite authors, who wrote the incredible, beautiful Vessel! And one of my favorite vamp stories, Drink, Slay, Love. I will read anything by Sarah Beth Durst!

BookOwl93 said...

I'm looking forward to it because I've read so many good reviews about it :D

Natalie @Natflix&Books said...

Because of the words: magic wielding serial killer! Thanks for the chance to win!

Leonor (Ner) said...

I'm very curious about this book. I've read several negative and positive reviews and would like to try it for myself and see in which category I would fall.
Plus, it has magic. Who can deny a book with magic?!

Thank you for the giveaway and for the opportunity to get this book :)
