EIT Fan Appreciation Giveaway!

by 240 Comments

Every once in a while I think an author has to thank her fans and read­ers (hope­fully you’re both!) This is one of those times. With­out sup­port from my read­ers, I wouldn’t be able to write for a liv­ing. I wouldn’t be able to write about Dex & Perry (and Dawn and Sage and Ellie and Cam­den and Jamie and Chris and what­ever other char­ac­ters are com­ing down the lane). I’d be cry­ing in my room, won­der­ing if any­one liked me or my writ­ing, debat­ing if I’ve found my call­ing or not.

Now, I’m only human. I do cry in my room at times because some­times the whole self-publishing game is tir­ing. You work end­lessly around the clock at writ­ing your nov­els, mar­ket­ing your nov­els, design­ing cov­ers, hir­ing edi­tors, doing edits, mail­ing pack­ages, mak­ing con­nec­tions with blog­gers. It’s a more than a full-time gig. You can ask my friends and fam­ily who never see me any­more, it lit­er­ally con­sumes my life.

Then there’s the whole com­pe­ti­tion thing. I know you’re not sup­posed to com­pare your­self with oth­ers, but some­times it’s inevitable. You work hard, believe in your­self and your tal­ent, then watch as all the other books zoom up the charts. You feel like a fail­ure, like your books will never catch on and you won­der what it is about your books that fail to attract “everyone.”

Well, I don’t attract every­one. I know that. I know my books are a tough sell. They aren’t straight-up romance — that’s not my strong suit. The char­ac­ters are ter­ri­bly flawed and f-ed up and yes, I like to scare the pants off of peo­ple. These things do not make a block­buster book.

But what I do attract is a select group of peo­ple whom I like to con­sider more than just fans. I con­sider you all my friends. My allies. My Palo­min­ions. You pick me up when I’m feel­ing down and you make Perry and Dex come alive into this world. When I see a black High­lander come down the street, I get excited! And it’s such a won­der­ful feel­ing to know I’m not alone :)

So, with­out fur­ther ado, I have cre­ated a give­away just for EIT fans and read­ers. You don’t need to post about this or tweet about this. This is just for YOU.

Leave a com­ment telling me how you dis­cov­ered EIT. That’s it. On Fri­day I will draw three win­ners for these iden­ti­cal prizes (fan cho­sen). Oh, and this is open internationally:

a Raf­fle­copter give­away

An EIT hoodie and a Doucheca­noe shirt (cus­tomized to the winner’s size), an EIT logo USB stick with the Exper­i­ment in Ter­ror sound­track, Fat Rab­bit stick­ers AND a signed copy of any your choice of the fol­low­ing paper­backs Dark­house, Red Fox, Dead Sky Morn­ing, Lying Sea­son, On Demon Wings.

 

Good luck. And thank you!

NOTE: In order to be entered you must com­ment on this blog post AND you must enter your email address or login via FB on the Raf­fle­copter wid­get above. Both need to be done to be entered and Raf­fle­copter will be mak­ing the actual draw…

    I searched “para­nor­mal” in my kin­dle search engine and just hap­pened across this amaz­ing series!! I am head over heels, drop over a cliff, no hope in love with Dex and Perry! I mean can’t get enough. Its killing me to know what hap­pens in the hol­low! I am hold­ing my breath for the reunion . Keep up the great work. I am a 40 year old mother that loves the saucy writ­ing and the way I have just come to know the characters!

    Yay! I down­loaded Dark­house MONTHS ago as a free­bie, but never got around to it. Then I signed up for The Devil’s Metal blog tour and fell in love with the writ­ing and IMMEDIATELY jumped into Dark­house. I started on Sun­day and since then (it’s Thurs­day) I’ve already reached the third book. I plan to read them all and I haven’t read all the nov­els avail­able in a series since The Hunger Games. I LOVE THIS SERIES! When­ever I read a pas­sage with Dex and Perry in it, I can’t help but smile. :)

    Thank you for writ­ing such a great series!

    Stum­bled on Dark­house when I was broke and hun­gry for a good read. Wow! I was hooked from page one. Of course I imme­di­at­ley bought the rest…even though I was (am!) still broke. Pri­or­ties! I am back for Dex’s book–can’t wait to read it! Love the series, LOVE your writ­ing! Keep on keep­ing on, mean­while I’ll keep on hap­pily buy­ing and enjoy­ing your books. :)

    I acci­den­tally came across EIT at smash-books, Im really into were­wolf nov­els and i did a search and it came up on the list, i was read­ing the intro and it didn’t perk my inter­est to down­load it, I did find a book i wanted which was some clicks later, but heres the thing.. i didn’t read the title of Dark house and i auto­mat­i­cally assumed i had down­load the cor­rect were­wolf book. I started read­ing it,and because i loved the wit how perry as a char­ac­ter was i was intrigue to keep going, then i thought hmm wait a min this book is start­ing to very much sound like a para­nor­mal plot which i so stare clear of books like so, im not into scary ghost sto­ries or as such as EIT, but i couldn’t not stop read­ing it.. i was blown away at the clear funny wit of this writer whom wrote this char­ac­ter and it keep me want­ing more to see where this book would fin­ished. i loved it! it was funny and i keep going now im wait­ing on the 6th book. I found that because it was sexy and funny a lot of times and omg, its so good because even tho it s fic­tion based it was very much felt like a non fic­tion instead! it touch base with so much truth it really opens up good con­nec­tions with the char­ac­ters and .. 4days later not sleep well nor eat­ing.. I can say it was GOOD FUCKING BOOK.. well done karina. well done. im hooked on perry and dex duel such a match. And your char­ac­ters are so won­der­ful flawed its perfect.

    I found farm­house while search­ing books on my kin­dle. I thought y not n read it in a day! After that I was hooked. I bought the remain­ing books the next day and fin­ished them all within a week. Look­ing very for­ward to the release of into the hollow!

    Well, I dis­cov­ered the EIT series by a friend of mine. She sent me a mes­sage on Face­book about a really good book she down­loaded from Ama­zon and sug­gested I read it. Well I didn’t really think much about it for a few days, and one day I thought about it. I went to Ama­zon and looked up the book, and sure enough it sounded really cool. It was avail­able for free, so I thought what the heck, I will give it a try. Oh. Emm. Gee. I am soo glad my friend sug­gested I read that book! I was imme­di­ately hooked. I think what I really appre­ci­ate about the char­ac­ters is the fact that they are not per­fect. Not even close. Perry could be any of us! She is a reg­u­lar, every­day down to earth girl, who has issues with her­self and how she looks. I think we all can iden­tify with Perry! And by the end of Dark­house, I fell head over heels for Dex. Espe­cially the office scene when he stands up for Perry! SWOON!!! That is what a woman wants to hear!

    I have to say, I am on Red Fox now, and the books just keep get­ting bet­ter and bet­ter lol. I love these so much, that I have added these to my “Great Author Chal­lenge” on Goodreads, as all of the books by Ms. Halle. I am def­i­nitely a “fangirl”!!

    I found this series by acci­dent back in May. My hus­band had just pur­chased me a kin­dle to help me get through a long 6 week post surgery recov­ery where I wasn’t going to have a whole lot to do. I was look­ing around on ama­zon for some­thing fun to read and Dark­house caught my eye — mostly because of the cover. I ate up every minute of it, fin­ished it too quickly and then turned around and bought the rest of the series and read through them just as voras­ciously. I couldn’t rec­om­mend a series more than this one. I absolutely love the sto­ries, the charecters. Its all gravy. Perry reminds me so much of myself, its scary (with­out the ghosts of course) . All I can say is thank good­ness for kin­dle, oth­er­wise I doubt I would have ever found EIT.

    I dis­cov­ered this series through Ama­zon. After read­ing the first book I just couldn’t stop read­ing this series. I love the twist and turns, how it is a romance but not.

    I dis­cov­ered EIT on Twit­ter talk­ing to Karina :) Its sounded great and I couldnt resist a hor­ror book that had ghost hunters. I reviewed the first book Dark­house and was instantly obsessed I had to have more! From then on I have never missed a book and even got quoted on the back of Dark­house new paper­back :) How cool is that!

      I came across the EIT series by acci­dent. I had just received my Nook, and was scav­eng­ing around the Nook­Book Store in order to see what was avail­able for ‘free’ or for ‘pur­chase.’. I came across the first book in the series Dark House and was very intrigued by the sum­mary. The book was free and I down­loaded it think­ing that if I didn’t like it, then I didn’t really lose any any­thing.… I read the book in one sit­ting. Then I down­loaded the next book in the series and then the next one.…

      I thor­oughly enjoy the char­ac­ter struc­ture of Dex and Perry. Being some­one who loves ghost sto­ries and haunted houses, the plot was very inter­est­ing and it con­tin­ues to grow and develop with each book. Addi­tion­ally, the series isn’t your typ­i­cal hor­ror story. There are sus­pense­ful moments and super­nat­ural ele­ments, but there is also a very good storyline.

      I rarely get hooked onto a series nor do I usu­ally sit on ‘pins and nee­dles’ wait­ing for the next one. Great job and con­grat­u­la­tions on your suc­cess. I look for­ward to the release of your new book for the series and hope you write a few more.

    I got a kin­dle for Mother’s Day and hon­estly was resis­tant because I’m a dork who loves to hold a book and flip back and forth to reread pas­sages and all that. Stub­bornly I told my hus­band, well I’m not buy­ing any­thing because I get all my books from the library. So I found the web­site hundredzeros.com through some­one on for­ever young adult and Dark­house came up as a free offer­ing. I of course loved it. And then broke my “no buy­ing” rule by pur­chas­ing every other book in the series! Can not wait for Into The Hol­low. And just fin­ished Devil’s Metal last night.… Good times read­ing and I now really like my Kindle.

    I actu­ally heard about the series from you. :-) You approached me on Twit­ter and let me have them for free to review. I will say that I was wary at first because I’ve never read a creepy book before. But from the first chap­ter to the last I was hooked.
    Perry & Dex have become two of my most favorite char­ac­ters ever. Plus, I’ve made a great friend in you! I’m very hon­ored that you think of me!

    I’m stoked for Into The Hol­low and what a fan­tas­tic give­away. I’ve said it so many times Karina but yet you still rock my face off like no other. Love you to bits!!!

But thank­fully Karina is amaz­ing to us and helped me find all the books and gave the red fox book which was prov­ing impos­si­ble for me to find.. lol..

    I ran­domly found this brows­ing through the Kin­dle Store on Ama­zon. I was seri­ously look­ing for some­thing that could hold my atten­tion when I can across Dark­House. I started read­ing it and seri­ously could not put the book down. I would be up until 2-3am read­ing this book when I knew I had to be up at 6am. Then when I fin­ished the books, I HAD to buy the next one and start read­ing it. I would have to say, I’m totally addicted. Karina, you are a super writer and I hope these series don’t end! I’ve never been a reader since few books can hold my atten­tion (even in col­lege, the text books would put me to sleep) but the EIT series’ not only hold my atten­tion but stim­u­late inter­est as well. I just can’t wait to see what hap­pens next!! :)

    Cross­ing fin­gers that I inter­preted your post right and that the sign­ing into FB part really isn’t manda­tory. I’m a bit aller­gic to Face­book, you see, and likely to flee in the oppo­site direc­tion if a com­ment to Like some­thing gets sneezed my way. I con­sider it a form of self-preservation. Yet, even if it is manda­tory, I still don’t mind telling you about what I thought of your books even if it doesn’t grant me a prize.

    It was a fam­ily mem­ber who first informed me (very loudly and often) of EIT. She likes romance in her nov­els but hates ghost hunt­ing type shows, though knew I was pretty much the exact oppo­site. At first I didn’t believe her when she said that there was a series that did have the dark, poten­tially psy­cho­log­i­cally dam­ag­ing (her words, not mine) books I pre­fer that also had a romance which didn’t over­whelm every­thing, but decided to give EIT a chance on the day she actu­ally sat down to watch an episode of Ghost Adven­tures with me with­out a sin­gle neg­a­tive com­ment in sight.

    So I read EIT and decided that my favorite kind of ‘psy­cho­log­i­cally dam­ag­ing’ books were bet­ter after all when there is a lit­tle romance between two messed up peo­ple. Will, never, ever be so thrilled about romance as that fam­ily friend of mine, though; she actu­ally woke me up at 5am by run­ning into my room and shout­ing “Dex!” repeat­edly. Was sev­eral thrown shoes and hours later to fig­ure out she was excited about the Dex Files being released.

    If I do actu­ally win in this give­away, I’m going to share it with her. Though not before run­ning into her room at 5am to shout about free EIT loot. Revenge would be sweet.

    I heard about EIT when Maryse posted Dark­house as a free­bie on her blog. Read it, inhaled the oth­ers and gave such an enthu­si­as­tic review that Maryse bumped it to the top of her TBR list. The rest is his­tory, lol! ;)

    I’m in love with Dex and Doucheca­noe has become part of my reg­u­lar vocab­u­lary, lol. I’d love to win these goodies!

    I found EIT on amaa­zon. The first book was a free one and after I read it I was hooked and had them all read in a week and a half. I have since then read them all 3 times and cant wait for the next to come out! I absolutely love the work you have done!

    I found out about EIT through Goodreads. I saw there that Dark­house was going to be free so I thought, that’s your kind of book, give it a go. What do you have to lose? Now I’m hooked.

    Mine is a bit of a story. Over at GoodReads I’m part of a group called the Ter­ri­ble Girls. (Whom Emmy) is part of. She announced that Dark­House and Red Fox are free, which I eagerly pounced upon. but they where on my Kin­dle for a few months and then I decided to give it a go. Well, I have never looked back since. So it was two peo­ple from My Ter­ri­ble Girls, Emmy and Mrs.VKB who goes by Tynisha or Mrs Nor­man sometimes.

    I’m so happy that you con­sid­ered INt entries too.!

    I found Dark­house in the free books on my Kin­dle. I actu­ally put off read­ing it since it was a series. What a mis­take. When I finally read it I couldn’t put it down and quickly bought one book after anothe until I had read every­thing that was released. I loved the char­ac­ters they were so real and became like “old friends”. I now am com­plet­ley addicted and await each book like child on Christ­mas Eve. Keep up the good work Karina you are an amaz­ing author.

Read it in two days then went in search for the rest in the series! That was fun since barnes n noble for some rea­son missed a book in the mid­dle but I was deter­mined and found it finally!! Wait­ing now NOT PATIENTLY for Into the Hol­low. Your fans love all your books and you are on our #1 best book list!! Keep up the good work and keep writ­ing please!!

I love that the hero­ine isn’t char­ac­ter­ized as a beau­ti­ful damsel in dis­tress that needs res­cu­ing by the hand­some, dash­ing hero. Not that Perry’s not beau­ti­ful or Dex isn’t totally deli­cious, but they are both real, flawed, and stronger than they thought they were. I can iden­tify with fucked-up peo­ple more than the “nor­mal” char­ac­ters of pop­u­lar main­stream fic­tion. I hope you never stop writ­ing about them!

I have since got­ten two of my none blog­ging friends to try them. They are both blow­ing through them now too. :)

    Also I kinda love that these aren’t straight up romance. If I was deal­ing with cray cray shit like they are, romance would for sure be on the back burner… Of course it would be there, because a girl has needs ya know.. but I think these books flow so well, Not too much romance, but enough sex­ual ten­sion to keep me want­ing more. <3

    Hi Karina! I Go through Ama­zons top 100 free books every month or so and down­load any­thing that looks inter­est­ing. Dark­house caught my eye because I like a lit­tle sex, like fucked up char­ac­ters and like to be scared shit­less! Unfor­tu­nately, over 75% of those free books are rest­ing in the grave­yard of unfin­ished read­ing mate­r­ial that is my cloud. They are dif­fi­cult to get through with poorly devel­oped sto­ry­lines and weak char­ac­ters. Every once in a while I find a gem that leaves me won­der­ing how it could be free?!?!?!?! Dark­house was one of those. I read it in one sit­ting then down­loaded every­thing else you had writ­ten. I think I fin­ished them all in 3 days. I have 20 pages left in The Dev­ils Metal and have enjoyed that too-though Dex and Perry still rank as two of my fav char­ac­ters of all time. I can’t wait for The Hol­low!

I was bit appre­hen­sive, sure, but since I absolutely love ghost sto­ries (I even went to Loch Ness and ended up buy­ing a book about Scot­tish ghost sto­ries…) I waited for the paper­back to come avail­able in the coun­try I was liv­ing at the moment and it got me hooked, so bad. I even had to get Kin­dle because that way I could read the books the day they came out.

    My sis­ter and I are both avid read­ers. We love the para­nor­mal genre and are con­stantly look­ing for new and inter­est­ing reads. We go back and forth with ‘you gotta read this series, or that author, or OMG you are going to love this’. So one day she tells me about Dark­house. She goes on how its dif­fer­ent from the nor­mal para­nor­mal (lol that should be an oxy­moron), and its got ghosts and Dex who I’m going to fall in love with. She tells me she’s going to ‘loan’ it to me with her kin­dle, well some how it didn’t go through, so I thought what the heck and bought it. OMG, I was so excited, I pro­ceeded to go through the entire series in a day and a half get­ting each one as I fin­ish the one before. And she was right, its a fan­tas­tic twist on para­nor­mal, and I totally fell in love with Dex, and Perry too.

    I was intro­duced to EIT in August by my fab­u­lous SIL, Julie. We were on a fam­ily vaca­tion on the OR coast, where we could see Yaquina Head light­house from the beach. She said the first foggy night on the beach, she was creeped out after read­ing these books, and told me I should down­load Dark­house. I read 2/3 of it on vaca­tion, and imme­di­ately fell in love with Perry and Dex.

    I have to say that I was quite excited to read about Ter­ri­ble Tilly in Dark­house, which I’d been fas­ci­nated with since I first saw it. After climb­ing to the top of Yaquina Head light­house a few days later, I found some awe­some light­house socks that have Ter­ri­ble Tilly on them to com­mem­o­rate the trip. :)

    If there’s one self pub­lished author who deserves her big break-through it’s you. Why there’s so much generic shit out there that gets pub­lished by the big guys when there are com­pletely unique and well-written sto­ries like EIT out there I’ll never know.

    I found EIT on B&N.com. I’m a very picky reader and a book has to grab me from the begin­ning or for­get it. I went through about 20 para­nor­mal down­loaded books — all of which was a waste of my time and money. In one last attempt at find­ing what I was look­ing for I saw the freeby DARKHOUSE. I read the syn­op­sis and thought what did I have to lose… Free, right?! I started read­ing and was HOOKED! Could not put it down and by the end of that week had sailed through all of them!! I’m not a reg­u­lar reader because most books on the para­nor­mal have too much fluff but your books and writ­ing style are dif­fer­ent. All the books grab the reader at the begin­ning and don’t let you go until THEY say its time! Lol! I love them and love the per­sona that you por­tray in these behind the scenes. I’ll keep read­ing as long as you keep writ­ing para­nor­mal nov­els! Thanks!!!

    I found EIT when I was brows­ing ama­zon on my kin­dle for some­thing new and not vam­pire related to read. I flip­ping LOVE these books so much! I just fin­ished re-reading the whole series…again.

    while on my kin­dle one night I needed some­thing to do so I skimmed through my books and dark house caught my eye I fig­ured just like any book I’d get bored and fall asleep but No I stayed up all night like a dumb ass and read at least Hal the book I mean I was totally hooked and couldn’t stop read­ing I couldn’t even see any­more but I fin­ished it in like 2 days and only want­ing more ! it’s authors like you who inspire my need for read­ing which until EIT I never would have thought pos­si­ble the book came alive in my hands I totally enjoyed it thanks so much !

    I got hooked as Dark­house was a free­bie on ama­zon. So glad I decided to down­load it! Best deci­sion ever as your series is one of my absolute favorites!

    My mom and I share an Ama­zon account and she is a MANIAC for free books and Dark­house popped up on a search she did. It was sit­ting on my kin­dle fire shelf for awhile and it really was call­ing out to me. So, I started read­ing it one night after work…24 hours later I was mostly through Red Fox and by day four I was telling myself that I would really hate myself if I threw my Fire up against a wall at the end of Lying Sea­son. Some­times falling in love hap­pens fast and hard — which com­pletely dis­cribes my affair with EIT. I only wish I had found it sooner. Bravo Ms. Halle, it takes very spe­cial char­ac­ters to cap­ture the mind and the heart and you have stolen mine.

    I found EIT, I guess, by acci­dent. I am a VERY picky reader (deal­break­ers include but are not lim­ited to: books not set in the states, elves, etc.) and always do sooooo much research (as in, comb Ama­zon and Goodreads) before I even read a book. So in the midst of my comb­ing the inter­nets I found your lovely series and I am super happy I did. Perry makes me happy and damn if you didn’t turn me on to “rapist facial hair”. :P

    As with oth­ers, I also dis­cov­ered the EIT series with the Ama­zon free­bie, Dark­house. While scrolling on Face­book, Pixel of Ink popped up with the Fri­day / Sun­day morn­ing / what­ever __day free­bies that may or may not exist any­more. I think that par­tic­u­lar day, I chose 3 of the 4 offered. I won’t deny, Dark­house hung out on my Kin­dle for a bit. I’d been read­ing other tripe, try­ing to “fit in” and so when it came time for my next thrilling adven­ture, I selected Dark­house and thought “what the heck.”

    I imme­di­ately related to Perry. As she talked about not lik­ing her job but not really sure where she fit in with things, I was TOTALLY feel­ing it, cuz I was also *really* hat­ing my job, and ques­tion­ing things and all that junk. I read it over a week, lik­ing what was going on, lov­ing Perry’s inse­cu­ri­ties, and also walk­ing that line between feel­ing offended and flat­tered at Dex’s mixed sig­nals atten­tion. I liked it enough to real­ize I was in it for the long haul. I bought the rest of the Kin­dle books, but was still unsure through Red Fox. It def­i­nitely had some great scenes, but I still felt it was a bit awk­ward in places. But, as sec­ond dates go, I wasn’t going away.

    Then, I read The Ben­son and pro­ceeded to squeal like a lit­tle girl. Out­loud. With Dead Sky Morn­ing, I was ready to have this book’s chil­dren. Lying Sea­son broke my heart to lit­tle lit­tle pieces. On Demon Wings just put me through the ringer. Old Blood and Dex Files were great com­pany while I chewed on my nails and licked my wounds.

    The EIT series started the tini­est flames of inspi­ra­tion within me, and oddly enough, showed me the sun­shine on the other side of my darkness.

    So, thanks. Thank you ever so much for cre­at­ing these char­ac­ters, they give me excel­lent per­spec­tive, and lots of fun. = D

    I came across Dark House on Ama­zon and it sat on my kin­dle shelf for a while. When I finally did read it I was addicted and couldn’t and still can­not get enough! I’m THE biggest EIT fan out there! Ask my hus­band ;)

    So Maryse first posted your book and it was a free­bie. I was hooked right away — I love Perry so much. I relate to her you know? Her inse­cu­ri­ties, the way she views her­self, and the way she views oth­ers. I love her strug­gles because I can relate to them, well when I was younger — not sure what she wanted out of life, scared to take risks because she was told not to, and knew she never really belonged any­where. Perry is my favorite female character.…

    I down­loaded Dark­house as a free­bie from B&N back in April 2012 after doing my ran­dom 0.00 ebook search. I started read­ing it about a week after I down­loaded it and was instantly taken with the main char­ac­ters. I fran­ti­cally searched for the next book, Red Fox and finally found it on Goodreads… I have been hooked on the EIT series ever since. Thanks, Karina, for pro­vid­ing a won­der­fully excit­ing, scary, and awe­some series for all of us.

    I got the Dark­house on Ama­zon as a free­bie. It was one of the first I read on my Kin­dle Fire. I was hooked right away. I think it took me 3 hours to fin­ish it. I didn’t put it down. My hus­band and daugh­ter won­dered what hap­pened, as din­ner did not appear on the table for them. I then pur­chased the sec­ond book and stayed up all night read­ing it. I just can not wait til Into the Hol­low comes out. :)

    I found Dark­house through enewsreader.com. It sat on my kin­dle, unread, for quite a while. But once I started it I couldn’t put it down. I then read through the rest of the series quicker then any other series of books in my life.

    I was for­tu­nate enough to stum­ble upon this lit­tle gem enti­tled “Dark­house” on Ama­zon last year, a cou­ple of months after it was first pub­lished. (Don’t believe me? I have proof! LOL) After read­ing the descrip­tion, I was a goner. A book about ama­teur ghost hunters? Sign me up! It piqued my curios­ity, and hon­estly, I was dying to read some­thing new. Vam­pires, were­wolves, faeries and such weren’t doing any­thing for me anymore.

    I was look­ing for a scary read at 1 in the morn­ing to help me fall sleep. (Weird logic, I know.) I had just started get­ting into indie books that time, and you know how it is with indie books (they’re either a hit or miss) so I got the sam­ple on my Kin­dle and liked it enough to pur­chase the book and the rest as they say is his­tory! :)

    I found out about the EIT series through For­ever Young Adult’s review of Dark­house.

From then on I was hooked!! Why isn’t it Octo­ber 23rd yet?!?!

    I dis­cov­ered EIT through a friend from high school. I was in between books and look­ing for some­thing new to read when she posted a link about Dark House. I asked her more about it and was intrigued right away. I loved the idea of romance/paranormal, which are two gen­res I love, but had never read together. After read­ing the first few pages I was hooked. Perry’s inner voice was so relat­able. I read the remain­ing books very quickly and was so sad once I fin­ished On Demon Wings. I felt every emo­tion as I read and went through the highs and lows just as Perry did. The words just con­vey the emo­tions so well and I believe that is why the series has such devoted fans. I can’t wait for Into the Hol­low but I am a lit­tle sad it is just closer to the end. Thank you for the great sto­ries Karina!

    I dis­cov­ered EIT through the lovely Maryse. And boy am I glad I did! Truth is, I almost didn’t read it because it took me a while to get into the first book.

Then I read that in a day and now I’m bit­ing my nails in antic­i­pa­tion for Into the Hol­low! I can’t wait! I’m cur­rently work­ing on The Devil’s Metal. I just love your books. :)

I was hear­ing noth­ing but great things about the series and had to check it out. I’m glad I have. I read Dark­house and it was a great book. I have yet to con­tinue the series but I have a feel­ing I’ll con­tinue to enjoy the books. The Devil’s Metal (non-EIT) was also a great book. Karina is a great author!!!
