Yes, it's that time of year again. Actually...this time occurs multiple times a year. It's time for me to name another book. Now, depending on how long you've read my blog, you may or may not know that I have kind of a, um, bad history with titles. The only time I suggested the title for a book and was immediately approved was for Succubus Blues. Every other book has turned into a titular debate with my editors. This is no exception.

What book? This time it's #3 in the Vampire Academy series. I'm opening it up to you, gentle readers, to suggest the title. Should yours get picked, I'll send you fun things, by which I mean, books. You'll also get a mention in the acknowledgments. Unlike normal contests, though, there's no guaranteed winner. We may not like any of the titles, but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

Here's assorted info for the book that may or may not be helpful. You by no means have to work all of them into the title (it's impossible anyway), but they may give you parameters.

* We like one word or two word combinations, as shown in the other titles: Vampire Academy and Frostbite
* This book takes place roughly mid-January to end of February
* There are ghosts/spirits in this book
* There is escalating romance/physical attraction in this book
* The book takes a very dark turn in the series
* There is a hint of someone going bad and/or crazy
* Gothy, cool, dark, vampirey word combos often work too, even if they don't exactly relate to the content

So, there you go. Have at it, and post suggestions in the comments field for this entry. I realize that description's not a lot to go on, but I can't tell you much more about the book yet. This contest will run until I post that the book has been named. Good luck!
