Books read in 2017 – The Dark Days Pact

It’s publication day for The Dark Days Pact, sequel to the supernatural-regency-romance awesomeness that was The @DarkDaysClub!

LoveReading had this to say:

“This glorious sequel has it all for fans of fantasy and historical fiction - paranormal clashes, political intrigue, smoldering romance, a handsomely headstrong heroine, and bejeweled historical detail. The writing fizzes with passion and panache throughout, much like Lady Helen herself.”

To celebrate the launch of @WalkerBooksYA on Twitter, we’re giving away 12 fantastic new reads, plus an exclusive copy of A Monster Calls signed by both Patrick Ness AND Jim Kay!

The other books you’ll win are:

Beck by Mal Peet

The Dark Days Club by Alison Goodman

Barefoot on the Wind by Zoë Marriott

The Next Together by Lauren James

Remix by Non Pratt

Twenty Questions for Gloria by Martyn Bedford

Max by Sarah Cohen-Scali

Girl Out of Water by Nat Luurtsema

Maladapted by Richard Kurti

My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows

The Moonlight Dreamers by Siobhan Curham

The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

PLUS there’ll be bookish swag including postcards, bookmarks and badges!

To enter, all you need to do is follow @WalkerBooksYA on Twitter and retweet the competition post.

The competition will close on Tuesday 20th December at 5 p.m. GMT. UK only.

YA Blogger Policy

Walker Books Ltd., (“we”; “our”) have a Young Adult (“YA”) blogger, vlogger and instagrammer database (“YA Blogger Database”) who will be contacted with the opportunity to receive review copies of our new YA titles on a monthly basis, as well as occasionally receive proof copies of new YA books we feel they will enjoy. Those on the YA Blogger Database can request review copies while our review stocks last.

In order to manage the volume of blogger requests we receive, we will be running a call out for new bloggers to join the YA Blogger Database twice a year, one in Autumn/Winter and one in Spring/Summer. Keep an eye out on our @WalkerBooksUK twitter or Inkslingers Tumblr for alerts of these call outs. Outside of these times, we are not able to add new bloggers to the YA Blogger Database.  Additionally we reserve the right at our discretion to remove contacts from the YA Blogger Database. Contacts may also request to be removed themselves, should their circumstances change.  

There is no set requirement on the number of followers you need to have, we will consider each request individually based on a number of factors, and the decision to add new contacts will be made at our discretion. Passion and engagement are as important a factor as follower numbers. If you are added to the YA Blogger Database, we will let you know – however due to the volume of enquiries we receive, if you do not hear back, please assume you have not been successful this time, and try again next time.  

We send review copies to the UK and Ireland only. If you live outside these territories, we’ll endeavour to pass on your details and requests to the distributors nearest to you.

As a member of our YA Blogger Database, you are under no obligation to review a title sent to you, but you should be aware of advertising regulations which you can find out more about here and note advertising regulations can change so it is advisable generally to regularly check www.cap.org.uk for information.  We accept no responsibility for the content of any blog posted by you for our titles.

Please note due to the volume of bloggers in the YA world specifically, this policy expressly applies to our YA Blogger Database and not to those reviewing middle grade or picture books.

For any queries please do email [email protected]
