An ARC of THE DEMON'S LEXICON by Sarah Rees Brennan. The book releases in June 2009, but here's your chance to read it early. First let me tell you a few things:
1) Sarah's book could easily be one of the best books of 2009. And it hasn't even come out yet.
2) You will fall in love with these characters. I did. Although I loved Nick & Alan, our demon-hunting brothers, I found myself growing very fond of one of the supporting characters - Jamie. Despite how dark some of the book is (in a good way!), it's Jamie's sense of humour and constant one-liners that had me laughing out loud. On the bus. So embarrassing... *g*
3) There is a mystery at the heart of the book - actually, mysteries within mysteries - that are so much fun to try to figure out. Hint: you'll think you've done it, but you probably won't get it right.
4) Demon's rock!
5) Mae, the love-interest (for want of a better expression), is so much more than just that. I loved how well-rounded and independent she was. Strong, believable female characters in YA fiction ftw!
Oh, look... I did a Friday Five after all. :)
The giveaway is for my UK ARC of THE DEMON'S LEXICON. That means you don't get the gorgeous cover art. Sorry! This edition has a plain purple cover (but is handsome in its own way) and looks like this. The lovely

1) I lurv best books.
2) I'm okay with laughing out loud on a bus.
3) Mysteries are the spice of life :-)
4) Demons do rock. That must be why I'm a fan of Supernatural! Huh!
5) Independent Females "R" Us!
(Oh, and I love free stuff...)
Oh, besides, you've said such great things about it, how could I resist the temptation?
Have a great weekend!
I'll even crawl under your sink and do plumbing work if you want:)
Hope you feel better!
Must.win.ARC!
I would love to read it because I'm going into ARC withdrawal. 6 years of getting new books and now laid off because of the economy....*sigh*
Sorry, no LiveJournal account - I'm Lianne (lianne.geo@yahoo.com)
OK, also because the book sounds really good.

Wow, what a great contest!
Why do I want to win this book? Because I've heard it's the most marvelous read...and not just from you. And, also because I can't afford very many books now because real life took a massive dump on me.
Have a great weekend...and feel better.
