  7. The Evolution of Mara Dyer

    I haven’t worn a costume since I was a kid (a very long time ago).

  8. Valkyrie Rising!
    We don’t celebrate the Halloween in my country.
    Thank you for the giveaway :)

  9. Valkyrie Rising for me :).
    I dressed up as Paul Stanley of KISS one year. It was great! Thank you so much.

  10. Dark Star I am craving…. I once dressed up as Princess Leia in that white robe and plastic mask with the head buns. Earned a lot of candy that year:)

  11. Dark Star I am craving…. I once dressed up as Princess Leia in that white robe and plastic mask with the head buns. Earned a lot of candy that year:)!!

  13. I would like to win The Evolution of Mara Dyer. Thanks for the chance!

    Me and my 2 friends dressed up as the Clockwork Orange guys one time. Maybe it wasn’t the best costume but we definitely had the most fun that night. :)

  15. i would love to get dark star.
    i don’t dress up for halloween – it’s not such a hype in my country.

  16. Evolution of Mara Dyer!!!

    I love Halloween. Not sure what my favoritest costume would be. One year I dressed up as a female version of the Crow, which was fun. I have also been a dark fey, which I loved.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  17. I think I would choose Dark Star but I’m not sure…

    I’m not dressing up this year, but my little man (turned one today!!!! :)) is going to be a blue cartoony dragon. :)

    My fave costume was one my friend did… Her and her boyfriend dressed up as each other. It was awesome!! He had a long wig and she had a painted on goatee. They wore each other’s clothes. It was classic. :)

  18. I’d choose The Lost Prince.
    If there were Halloween celebrations in my country, I would dress as a Forest Fae. Thanks! :)

  19. I would love to win Valkyrie Rising! I don’t know about best, but the most hilarious looking back on it was one year I believe I dressed up as Pikachu from Pokemon. XD

    Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  20. Dark Star or Valkyrie Rising!
    We don’t celebrate the Halloween in my country either-I know BOOOORING!

  23. I think Dark Star and here in Ireland we dont dress up for Halloween but I did see someone going to a party dressed as a lego man.

  25. I’d love to choose The Evolution of Mara Dyer. My husband and I dressed up as a mafia guy and a flapper girl years back and it was the best! Thanks!

  28. I would pick Valkyrie Rising and I think I might dress up as a Killer Doll again this year because I didn’t have time to go out and buy a costume this year. :)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  29. Thanks for this amazing giveaway – I would love to win The Lost Prince or Valkyrie Rising! My best costume was a cute/naughty french maid!

  31. I’d love The Evolution of Mara Dyer. I’ll be dressed as an angel this year. It’s kind of cute… and sexy

  32. Valkyrie Rising…

    I have not dressed up for Halloween in years but my friend has talked me in to going to a party with her and going as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games…

  36. I’d love a copy of THE EVOLUTION OF MARA DYER since I already own the first one in the series. And if I could, I’d dress up as someone in the Victorian age for Halloween!

  37. Valkyrie Rising

    My man & I dressed as a S&M couple with fishnet clothing, leather, & a leash. This is funny because we normally dress as farmers.

  38. The Lost Prince or The Evolution of Mara Dyer

    It wasn’t that creative, but I dressed in all black (a color I never wear) and my friends were so confused.

  40. Dark Star or Valkyrie Rising

    The best costume I have done is dress up as Sailor Pluto from Sailor Moon, me and about 5 of our friends dressed as the Sailor soldiers.

  41. I would love to win The Evolution of Mara Dyer!
    And I’m originally from India, this would be first Halloween, I have no idea how it works though!

  43. I would pick either The Lost Prince or Valkyrie Rising.
    And the best Halloween costume that I had was my hobo costume! (I made it myself) It was so much fun, every house I walked up to I would say “Spare change” One person actually gave me spare change!XD

    P.S. Thanks for the giveaway!

  44. I’d love Valkyrie Rising or The Evolution of Mara Dyer!
    This year I’m dressing up as a corpse bride :)

  46. Valkyrie Rising! Halloween is not celebrated here so no fancy costume. In fact, I’ll probably be buried in homework… >.>

    P.S. For some reason I keep thinking that Dark Star is a 2013 release..

  48. Fun! I would choose The Evolution of Mara Dyer or Valkyrie Rising.

    This year for Halloween, I want to be a Goddess, like Kate Winters in The Goddess Test! Maybe I will find my Henry!

    Thank you!

  49. I’d like to read Valkyrie Rising. I had a lot of great costumes growing up. My mom always sewed all of our costumes. I think my favorite one she did was Minnie Mouse. I had a nice genie costume too. (Nikki Marie on rafflecopter)

  51. I would love Dark Star!

    In Australia, Halloween isn’t very big, but this year I’m going out dressed as a Corpse Bride!

    Thanks so much for the giveaway! :)

  53. I think I would pick Dark Star. I think my best costume would be the time I dressed up as Jasmine from Aladdin because my hair and skin color is the same as hers and my mom made my costume…it was perfect :) Thanks for the giveaway!!

  54. Right now, I’d pick Valkyrie Rising.

    My favorite costume was my Batgirl one, I haven’t picked one out this year yet, I figured I’d wait to see if I can actually go out or if I’ll be too busy.

    Thanks for having the giveaway!

  56. I’d like The Lost Prince unfortunately I’ve never done a good Halloween costume, this year included. But I hand out candy like a pro.

  57. Dark Star sounds amazing!
    This year my friends and I are all dressing up as the non-disney princesses!

  58. Valkyrie Rising, and my best evah (because I’m moving and broke and not invited to any Halloween parties this year, so sadly, no costume for me) was as a white horse (I was 10). My dad and I made a paper maiche head and I wore all white….the evening was magical (until a dog tripped me and the horse head broke my fall, and I skinned my knees and palms….seriously, that horse head busting in two was traumatic).

  60. Probably The Lost Prince
    All of my costumes were pretty lame…
    I was a bunny when I was one though. that was pretty cute

  61. I’d pick The Evolution of Mara Dyer, and my favorite halloween costume was dressing up as Morticia from the Adam’s Family, also the best halloween ever.

  63. I’d love THE LOST PRINCE thank you.

    We don’t celebrate Halloween here in Australia. I’d dress up as a witch otherwise.

  66. Oh my word, definitely the Evolution of Mara Dyer! I am DYING to know what happens next!

    As for Halloween… I have no idea what I’m dressing up as this year. I haven’t dressed up in ages, but the last costume I wore was a scarlet gypsy. I was told I should be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz this year. Apparently I have excellent Dorothy pigtails. 😛

  67. My favorite costume was a punk rocker. I loved doing the mohawk! I’d love to win The Lost Prince. Thanks!

  70. I would choose Valkyrie Rising.
    I’m not much for dressing on Halloween, but my favorite costume of my childhood was a Snow White one.

  72. Either Dark Star, Evolution or Valkyrie? I know, I know! But how do I choose? Thanks so much for the chance to win! And as far as costumes, I cannot remember any significant costumes growing up. And I REALLY wish that I had children so that this 30 year old could have an excuse to dress up! :(

  74. I would pick The Evolution of Mara Dyer!
    Also my favorite costume… I have a few when I was little I was a green m&m and then Esmerelda from the Disney movie “The Hunchback of Notre dame”. Older… I’d have to go with Sally from The Nightmare Before christmas.

  75. I don’t know which one. I want all of them, so I’ll let you pick your favorite.

    (No Halloween costume for me this year, but I think I might dye my blonde hair black. Yeah baby.)

  78. I would definitely pick Dark Star.
    I admit, my costumes usually suck hard. The best one I have is Ernie, with a companion Bert costume for a friend. Classic.

  79. thanks for a fabulous giveaway! I’d pick either dark star or valkyrie rising. Ummm.. no costumes for me :( gotta work.

  82. My favorite Hallowwen costume was when I dressed up as Cleopatra. Wow. I’m not sure which book I would choose because all the choices are on my TBR/Wishlist!

  84. Valkyrie Rising! and this year I’m going to be Rapunzel from Tangled. My friend has this great dress and it’s way fun! Thanks! Dani!

  85. The Evolution of Mara Dyer, no question about it hands down!!! I am so super excited and thrilled and everything else in between for this book. Oh my gosh!!! *g*

    And, I totally dressed up as Abby from NCIS the year before last, complete with a studded collar, and the perfect outfit. I wish I had a picture to show you, but alas I don’t!

  86. I think I would pick Dark Star! Thank for the giveaway and making it International. I don’t usually dress up for halloween but I am going to a halloween party this year and have to dress up in whatever the my friends kids decide which hasn’t been choosen LOL I dread to think what they will pick!

  89. The Lost Prince and I’m not a Halloween person so I usually just wear a t-shirt with the words costume written on there.

  92. The Evolution of Mara Dyer.. I haven’t dressed up in so long. I think last time it was with my best friend and we went as a big mac and fries!

  93. The Evolution of Mara Dyer. My best costume ever was last year when I went as my mom, complete with a wig of her 80s perm/fro and thick red glasses. I wore bright blue sweatpants and a bright pink sweatshirt (because she loves her sweats that never match) and also some ankle weights she used to rock back in the day when she would go walking. And because she is a cat lady (seriously, she has like 14 cats) I pinned a bunch of stuffed cats to my clothes along with a stuffed pug to represent her dog :) It was pretty awesome.

  94. The eveloution of mara dyer…me and my family all dressed as hippies it was pretty funny

  95. The Lost Prince or Valkyrie Rising. And this year I have a gladiator costume, although I’m not sure I’ll wear it.

  96. I would like to win The Evolution of Mara Dryer. I’m planning on making my best costume this year by going as a Shadowhunter with all the runes and everything. :)

  98. Mara Deyer!!! I still dont know what ill be this year! :( My best costume was dressing up as witch when I was little. I loved it so much!

  99. I’d have to go for a Prince, i’ll find him, and i have never dressed up for halloween, it’s not that highly celebrated here

  101. My choice would be The Lost Prince! I’m not entirely sure on what I’ll be for this Halloween yet, but my best costume was as a bunny rabbit Michael Jackson 😀
    Thanks for the giveaway!!

  103. I’d like Valkyrie Rising.
    I never had a favorite Halloween costume, but when my twin sister and I were teens, my sister went as an old lady. She spray painted her hair gray, wore a shall, some old dress my grandmother might have given her and carried a cane. When we went to people’s houses, she’d hunch over. It was very realistic looking. LOL She got a lot of compliments.

  106. The Evolution of Mara Dyer sounds like an amazing book.
    The best Halloween costume I’ve ever worn was the year I was pregnant at Halloween… We had graduated a few years before, and had worn Orange robes. I took black electrical tape and made a jack o lantern face on my graduation robe and went as a Jack o lantern!

  107. I would choose Dark Star, and my favorite Halloween costume (that no one got!) was when I dressed up like Joe the Plumber back in 2008. I had the name tag that said “Joe”, wore coveralls, and carried a plunger, but no one got it! I think four people understood it. Three years ago I dressed up as Antoine Dobson (you don’t want details), and people knew who I was immediately. *sigh* It wasn’t for Halloween, but I dressed up like Anne Bonny in New Orleans back in August. I had the cutest pirate hat fascinator, too! I can’t wear it to go trick-or-treating with my daughter though. (It’s a wee bit low-cut.)

  108. I would choose The Evolution of Mara Dyer. We don’t celebrate Halloween here I live so I don’t have a favorite costume.

  109. I would choose Dark Star. The story sounds great and the cover is awesome.

    Well, since I don’t celebrate halloween, I don’t have a favorite costume. But I’d like to try nurse costume for halloween *grin*

    Thanks for this giveaway.

  110. I would love Valkyrie Rising. I truly don’t remember my Halloween costumes when I was younger. I do put on some cat ears and a tail when I go out trick or treating with the kids though.

  111. I’d love to read Valkyrie Rising, it sounds so original :)
    This year I’m hoping to dress up as a Hipster Disney Princess, but my favorite ever was when I was Esmeralda (the red dress). I even won a target gift card in a costume contest (a big deal at seven years old).

  112. Thank you for the giveaway, I´d probably choose The Lost Prince or Valkyrie Rising. We don´t celebrate Halloween.

  117. THne Lost Prince :)

    Last year I dressed up as Robin and my boyfriend was Batman. This year I’m dressing up as Sailor Moon and boyfriend as Tuxedo Mask 😛

  120. I would choose The Evolution of Mara Dyer.

    When I was younger, my grandmother (who was an amazing seamstress) made costumes for me, my sister and my two cousins. I was Peter Pan, my little sister was Tinker Bell, my older cousin Captain Hook and my baby cousin was the crocodile. We went to Disneyworld that year for Halloween which made it even better :)

  121. I would choose The Evolution of Mara Dyer.

    Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  122. Valkryie Rising. I never have had a good Halloween costume. It has never been huge on my list. But I would like to get together a really cool steampunk costume now.

  123. The Evolution of Mara Dyer!

    My best Halloween costume…I “dressed” up as evil Roald McDonald once. Pretty badass if you ask me.

  124. I can’t decide between The Evolution of Mara Dyer or The Lost Prince. I think I’m going to be a flapper girl. Not sure yet though.

  128. I have to go with The Evolution. Can’t wait for that one.

    I always had the lamest costumes as a kid! One year I went as a dice. Or a die. Whatever. It was super lame. And sadly, I don’t think I’m dressing up this year.

  131. I would love Valkyrie Rising. My fiance and I are dressing up as robots to embarrass my little sister.

  132. I’ll choose Dark Star.

    We don’t celebrate Halloween here, but if we did, I would’ve go as Anna Dressed in Blood – ever since I read the book I think it would be an awesome costume 😀

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  133. I’d choose Dark Star! In my country, we don’t have the tradition to wander around in costumes, so I’ve never really dressed up!

  134. I would pick Valkyrie Rising and I’m not dressing up this year but my favorite costume was my friend and I dressing up like babies one year for Halloween.

  138. I’d love to read Dark Star. We don’t celebrate Halloween over here, so I’ve never dressed up as anything. I’d like to try a vampire’s costume sometime.

  139. The Evolution of Mara Dyer. Thanks for the giveaway!
    I haven’t dressed up since I was a kid. I liked my Cinderella costume. :)

  140. The Evolution of Mara Dyer or Valkyrie Rising. They both sound good.

    I’ve dressed up but never really had that great of a costume.. I think 7th grade was the one I liked the most which was superman.. or in my case supergirl

  141. Dark Star.
    I was The Essence of Me once. Basically, I just wore a bunch of stuff I liked and said it all “represented” a piece of me. :)

  142. I ‘d like The Evolution of Mara Dyer
    unfortunately I/we don’t celebrate Halloween but I’d like to be Alice from wonderland :)

  143. I have to choose The Lost Prince..because well..it’s Julie Kagawa :) Need I say more?
    I never had a Halloween costume, because here in Portugal we don’t celebrate Halloween. Which is very sad :( But I like the spirit of it :)

  144. Book – ahhh, I kinda want all of them!! Guess I’d choose either Dark Star or Valkyrie Rising. Keep waffling between which I’d like better. I *still* haven’t read the first Mara Dyer book (ack! but I have it from the library now), so I can wait on that one :)

    Halloween – well, I’m a mom now, and nothing is ever about US anymore, whether it’s Halloween or Christmas or even our own birthdays!! It’s all about the kids… So I won’t be dressing up, but instead working on transforming my 4yo son into a most awesome firefighter :)

  146. I’d pick Dark Star, and I’m going to be a dark faerie this year. Thanks for the giveaway!

  150. I’ll most likely choose Valkyrie Rising. As for Halloween, we don’t really dress up in my country or at least it’s not as big of a tradition as it is in the US. I for one, haven’t dressed up, ever, or not that I can remember… I hope you have fun on Halloween.

  151. I would love to read Evolution of Mara Dyer. Halloween isn’t really celebrated in my country though it is becoming more popular each year. Thank you for the giveaway!

  152. I think I’d pick Dark Star. As for Halloween, I’m not much of a dresser-upper. Mostly because I’m not very creative and my costumes always suck. Sorry!
    Thanks for the giveaway :-)

  157. I would love to read Dark Star & i am not dressing up for Halloween. I haven’t dressed up since I was a kid and I can’t remember what the last costume was. My kids will be batman and Mario again this year though. They’re excited even though that was what they were last year. lol

  159. I would pick The Lost Prince!
    I don’t dress up every I stay home always.
    Thank you for the great giveaway!

  160. I would pick The Dark Star! And I’m dressing up as a referee this year! I would much rather have been Wonder Woman but I couldn’t convince myself to walk around in the underwear things lol

  162. Valkyrie Rising…best costume…when I was about 3 I was dressed as a little old man complete with cigar..it was the 70’s :)

  164. Definitely Valkyrie Rising, dying to read that one. :)
    Unfortunately, we don’t celebrate Halloween in my country, but if I were to dress up, I would pick zombie for sure. :) Thanks for a giveaway!

  165. Valkyrie Rising!!
    I’m wearing this cute black and orange skirt with a velvety sweater and a pretty mask.
    Thanks :)

  166. I’d choose Valkyrie Rising, and I’ll be dresses as a tree this year. Pretty silly, but that’s why I love it. Thanks for the giveaway!

  167. The Evolution of Mara Dyer :D! My favorite Halloween costume would be my Cat costume :).

  169. I’d pick Dark Star. Here we don’t have halloween, but if we had, i’d dress up as chipmunk . haha

  171. Probably Valkyrie Rising by Ingrid Paulson.
    We don`t celebrate Halloween in our country, it`s not a tradition (unless someone drops a private-halloween-themed party, lol). Thanks for the giveaway! :)

  174. It’s between Dark Star and Valkyrie Rising.

    I remember I loved my ninja costume when I was little. I thought it was so awesome.

    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  177. I would love the Evolution of Mara Dyer!
    and my favorite costume was probably when I was a gypsy :)
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  179. The Lost Prince. I have to admit my costumes have gotten lame as I’m older, but I did get to be the pink power ranger and Pocahontas as a kid.

  184. Mara Dyer maybe.

    About a costume, I don’t know, I’m not really the costume party kind of gal.

  186. Mara Dyer or Valkryie Rising. I was once a pumpkin. My mom made the costume. I think it was awesome. :’)
