The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe Giveaway!


Description:
No one knows where the Tufa came from, or how they ended up in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, yet when the first Europeans arrived, they were already there. Dark-haired, enigmatic, and suspicious of outsiders, the Tufa live quiet lives in the hills and valleys of Cloud County. While their origins may be lost to history, there are clues in their music—hints of their true nature buried in the songs they have passed down for generations. 
Private Bronwyn Hyatt returns from Iraq wounded in body and in spirit, only to face the very things that drove her away in the first place: her family, her obligations to the Tufa, and her dangerous ex-boyfriend. But more trouble lurks in the mountains and hollows of her childhood home. Cryptic omens warn of impending tragedy, and a restless “haint” lurks nearby, waiting to reveal Bronwyn’s darkest secrets. Worst of all, Bronwyn has lost touch with the music that was once a vital part of her identity. 
With death stalking her family, Bronwyn will need to summon the strength to take her place among the true Tufa and once again fly on the night winds. . . .
I recently reviewed this book HERE and so many of you know that I enjoyed this different type of tale. It did have ghosts known as haints that helped the living. So, therefore it fits for a giveaway this week! :) 
I'm still not solving the mystery that is this picture that plays a big part in the book:
*evil laugh* Nope, won't spoil it. However, I will have an international giveaway of the book. There, now, don't you feel better? ;) 
Oh and enjoy the vid below. The song was written for the book!

  24. Books are life,
    Books are love,
    Even in badly times,
    They let you dream,
    They let you fly,
    And be at least somewhere,
    Away from home...

    Taran, here is my little poem! :)

  26. I don't know how I would deal with death stalking my family. *shudder* It's a good thing I can experience it out in this story.

  27. This early in the morning the only thing that comes to mind is that the title makes me think of someone in the middle of a very cold winter starving and trying to keep warm by humming ( possibly thinking of bees in summer and flowers?)

    However then I look at the cover and am totally confused !

    Blame it on my brain not working on Sundays.

    Thanks for the giveaway and for allowing worldwide entries.
