It's My Blogoversary! (+ Giveaway)

Dear Inklings,

Inklings Read is officially one year old! Thank you so much for hanging around and supporting me through my first year blogging. I cannot express to you how much fun I’ve had participating in this awesome community! Everyone has been so helpful, supportive, and welcoming. It has truly been an amazing year!

Around this time last year, I had just finished reading The Iron King by Julie Kagawa (AMAZING if you haven’t already read it). I was browsing the web and somehow came across The Story Siren. I remember being blown away by Kristi's passion… and thinking “I want to do that.” I started up Inklings Read shortly after and posted my first review of The Iron Daughter. I was so excited when I got my first couple followers… To this day I still get a high from every new follower and every comment!

In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.

Kate Winters has won immortality.

But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.

Becoming immortal w. asn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.

As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.

Henry’s first wife, Persephone.
