Any special plans for Halloween? In between taking the kids trick or treating, giving out candy to all of the neighborhood ghosts and goblins, and generally eating enough candy to last through the year….be sure to stop here at Darque Reviews for a special treat. With many thanks to Candlewick Press, I have two lovely hardcover copies of Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith to giveaway. On October 31st I’ll have a review posted, an interview with Ms. Leitich Smith, and two chances for you to win a copy of her young adult/dark fantasy romance, Tantalize. In the meantime, here’s the blurb to whet your appetite:
CLASSIFIED ADS: RESTAURANTS
SANGUINI'S: A VERY RARE RESTAURANT IS HIRING A CHEF DE CUISINE. DINNERS ONLY.
APPLY IN PERSON BETWEEN 2:00 AND 4:00 PM.
Quincie Morris has never felt more alone. Her parents are dead, and her hybrid-werewolf first love is threatening to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. Then, as she and her uncle are about to unveil their hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform their new hire into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Can he wow the crowd in his fake fangs, cheap cape, and red contact lenses -- or is there more to this earnest face than meets the eye? As human and preternatural forces clash, a deadly love triangle forms, and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who’s playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything? TANTALIZE marks Cynthia Leitich Smith’s delicious debut as a preeminent author of dark fantasy.
Are you predator or prey?
Tempting, right?

That is so cool that you are going to get a chance to talk to her. I'll have to read it by then so that I know whats going on :)
Hi Katie! It'll be great to find out a bit more about her. I'm careful not to ask any spoiler questions, so if you don't get to it in your TBR pile before then you'll just have even more reason to read it afterwards. :)
