Win Australian YA book BURN BRIGHT

BURN BRIGHT is a fantastic book. It's a blend of a dystopian world with a fantasy setting, strange, mysterious characters, and a plot that twists and turns in ways that you can't imagine when you start. This book is like a masquerade ball--it's beautiful, it's enigmatic, and it's surprising.

And almost everyone who reads YA in the US is missing out, because it isn't published here. You can get it as an e-book at The Book Depository, but I like paper books, and I think the paper books should be here, too. And on Amazon.com.

So I'm having a contest. The prize is a signed copy of BURN BRIGHT (that came all the way from Australia!) a signed CD of the music that goes along with the book, and some signed bookmarks.

In case you've never heard of it, (description from Goodreads):
Into a world of wild secrets and deadly pleasures comes a girl whose innocence may be her greatest strength. 

In Ixion music and party are our only beliefs. Darkness is our comfort. We have few rules but they are absolute . . . 

Retra doesn’t want to go to Ixion, the island of ever-night, ever-youth and never-sleep. Retra is a Seal – sealed minds, sealed community. She doesn’t crave parties and pleasure, experience and freedom. 

But her brother Joel left for Ixion two years ago, and Retra is determined to find him. Braving the intense pain of her obedience strip to escape the only home she’s ever known, Retra stows away on the barge that will take her to her brother. 

When she can’t find Joel, Retra finds herself drawn deeper into the intoxicating world of Ixion. Come to me, whispers a voice in her head. Who are the Ripers, the mysterious guardians of Ixion? What are the Night Creatures Retra can see in the shadows? And what happens to those who grow too old for Ixion? 

Retra will find that Ixion has its pleasures, but its secrets are deadly. Will friendship, and the creation of an eternal bond with a Riper, be enough to save her from the darkness? 

Listen well, baby bats. Burn bright, but do not stray from the paths. Remember, when you live in a place of darkness you also live with creatures of the dark.
