According to Jeaniene Frost, our review of Halfway to the Grave was the first review for her 2007 debut novel. I still remember Hubby picking the book up off the dining room table and asking me what it was – the cover is still very striking, and I believe the same model has been used for the series.
This week, starting today, actually, Halfway to the Grave is on sale for $1.99 as an ebook, along with bonus materials like deleted scenes and excerpts of the new book. There’s never-before-published scenes, the first four chapters of One Foot in the Grave, and two additional excerpts as well. Seriously. Bonus Materials, this ebook has them.
The sale price is valid today until 25 October, so you’ve got plenty of opportunity to buy, gift, and nag folks if you really liked this book (I did). You can get the sale price at Amazon Kindle, Kobo, and BN.com.
So, to celebrate the sale, Jeaniene wants to give away a digital reader here, where her first review was posted. So we’re going back to 2007!
Just kidding. Up for winning is one digital book reading device, either a Kindle, a nook or a Sony – winner’s choice. This contest is open to anyone worldwide where permitted, but it is the winner’s responsibility to make sure the device selected will work in their location.

Hell… a big bottle of a really expensive whiskey, my copies of the whole Night Huntress Series, (in that case if i have to kill the time) I don’t have an e-reader or laptop, so i can’t grab my ebooks *sigh* and i’d take my sweet dual dagger, so i can fight whatever wants to attack me, cuz seriously if i go to the grave,i won’t go down so easly (and i’m an adrenaline junkie)
Jeaniene Frost’s books and my Tivo.
Dark chocolate, lipbalm, and a cute dog to snuggle with. Thanks for the great giveaway. 🙂
I would definitely have to take Bones with me, in book form of course 😉
My bonuses would be my boxer, Ivybean (because she initiates nap time and never hogs the pillow) and a Rudy’s BBQ! Yeehaw:)
Hmm let’s see, a bottle of vodka and a steel bat so if I’m going down, it will swinging…. and slightly inebriated.
My (new) ereader. Potato chips. Ipod. Comfy pillow and blanket. Energy source. Heck, I want to take it all with me.
Of course, if I’m *really* being evil, there are some people on my “list” that I’d like to send ahead of me! 🙂 They could be the scouting party. Or the bait.
A comfy pillow, hair dryer, and a good book.
EZ
Dark chocolate and lots of it! Oh, and an e-reader so that I don’t have to carry so many books!
Most likely a never-ending supply of books and a big container of yummy baked goods. =0)
Or one hot alpha male in the mood to dominate me! *hahaa*
my wand, because i’m a huge harry potter dork and I’ve always said that i want to be buried with something harry potter related. and a pair of binoculars because i love people watching and when i’m up on the clouds, i want to be able to be creepy…errr i mean be able to see the people clearly.
A silver cross dagger and a candy apple stake.
Hand Sanitizer! Cause I hate da germs!
My bonus material would have to be a picture of my family…my eReader and a flash light (I am afraid of the dark)!
My bonus material would be books and pictures of the people I love…and chocolate!
I would take as many Elizabeth Peters paperbacks as I could find. And toffee, that would be a pretty great combination. Hmm, and I think I would also want Katherine Hepburn pants, a lot of bobby pins, and a nice fountain pen; ready for anything!
swiss army knife, a bottle of cognac, gloves with spikes and steel-toed boots (for protection), candles and a lighter (to start the fire if needed)
Chocolate is always a bonus in my book 🙂
Absolutely have to have my smart phone. It can lead me to anything else I need… like extra chocolate =)
hmmm a stack of books and a pic of the fam 😉
Hmmm I would need my snuggie laptop and kindle and paperback books flashlight and Im good to go Oh and coffee!!…love this giveaway…
My bonus materials would be Carmex, because I can’t stand to have dry lips, and breath mints. I want my breath to be fresh even if I’m halfway to the grave.
hm that’s a tough one. gummi bears, a knife, some kind of chapstick, ereader filled with books (jeaniene’s books are a must) and, um, some knitting. hey – yarn is warm and the sticks can be used as a weapon.
I would take my kindle, my kittens, and lots of coffee.
A bouquet of flowers, a silver cross, and my id. Just in case.
I would have to say my never ending TBR pile. I would spend the time catching up on all my reading since I have been so busy lately.
It scared me how fast a list popped in my head…not sure what this says about me 🙂
I’d steal Lucas from Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh. He’s sexy, alpha, and comes with certain benefits:
Cold, need warm socks, a blanket? Homeboy is HAWT and close proximity to him and his amazing…uh…attributes would warm anyon’es blood!
Hungry? Well, really, let’s think about this!
Bored? Dude…man knows how to keep it in-ter-est-ing!
Oh, and some chocolate and red wine ‘cuz a girl has to eat sometime and it has extra uses too 🙂
Coffee and my quick wit. It seems to get me through things nowadays. Sally

A good cup of coffee……a must have!!
I would bring my husband – he’s my Bones (except for the vampire thing)!
He can help me carry all my books, because as much as I love my Kindle you can’t use it as a weapon!
My smartphone and chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.
A copy of the Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy and zombie repellent spray. Of course.
My books, my phone, the lovely silver shoes I bought today (I’ve never owned a pair of silver shoes…. I’m ridiculously excited!) and, since Spade is attached, Vlad until his book comes out (then I’ll have to come up with a new plan).
