Cover Reveal + Giveaway: A Wicked Kind of Dark

Author Jonathan K. Benton

Jonathan Benton always wanted to write books, having won first place in a short story competition when he was ten. Inspired by writes such as Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, Jonathan first discovered the crossover genre of literary/fantasy while reading Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Jonathan grew up in New Zealand, dreaming of travelling to London and finally making the pilgrimage in his mid-twenties. Returning from England, he settled in Australia, the country he now calls home, and decided to take his writing seriously.







A Wicked Kind of Dark

Robert Duncan no longer believes in magic. A mysterious call about a blood moon, however, leads him back to the magical world of his childhood and to Luthien, the beautiful girl with flame-coloured hair, who he loved and lost.

As Robert unravels the secrets of his childhood, darkness enters his life and an ancient evil awakens. To have any chance of defeating the dark forces that would destroy two worlds, Robert must find Luthien before the rise of the blood moon. He must, once more, believe in magic …

A Wicked Kind of Dark mixes vast and spectacular fantasy landscapes with gritty urban reality. A must-read for people of all ages who believe in the power of imagination, and the importance of never losing touch with your inner child.

July New Release Giveaway Hop (INT)

The new release giveaway hop is hosted by Book Twirps and Refracted Light Reviews.

Hello, guys! How are you all?

I'm so exciting with July coming up. I always love July. Why? 
First, because it's the beginning of the second half of the year. It's a perfect moment to evaluate what I've done/achieved/missed in the last six months so that I could do better in the next six months. :)
Second, it's holiday time! Not that I travel or going somewhere. After all, most of the time I just stay at home, reading. Hahaha...
Also ... it's the month of my parents anniversary, although this year, it's the same day as my grandmother passed away. 
The other reason, silly one perhaps, it's because back then I had three ex-boyfriends who's birthday were on July. So I probably get used to wait for this month. :))

Anyway, enough about me and July. Let's start the giveaway. You all know the rules. It won't be different than the previous. 

ONE winner gets to choose any JUNE RELEASE book(s)  worth up to $15 from The Book Depository. So yes, this is INTERNATIONAL as long as The Book Depository ships to your country (you can check it here). If you're US resident, I might order it from Amazon. ^^

Thanks for stopping by and entering. Good luck to you all. And have a wonderful month!
