Free Book and a Contest at Kobo

As a reader pointed out, you can pick up The Scent of Shadows, by Vicki Pettersson, free at KoboBooks in (DRM'd) EPUB format. It isn't the "Free" edition from Amazon, though, so no bonus material, however, you can download it today and start reading.

Book Description
When she was sixteen, Joanna Archer was brutally assaulted and left to die in the Nevada desert.

By rights, she should be dead.

Now a photographer by day, she prowls a different Las Vegas after sunset—a grim, secret Sin City where Light battles Shadow—seeking answers to whom or what she really is . . . and revenge for the horrors she was forced to endure.

But the nightmare is just beginning—for the demons are hunting Joanna, and the powerful shadows want her for their own . . .


Kobo is also running a contest to win one of 10 Kobo eReaders. Every book purchased during the contest period gets you an entry (remember, they are a Canadian company, so the rules may be a bit different than found at US companies).

CONTEST DETAILS

Duration: Next 2 weeks only (April 22nd - May 6th)

Two weekly draws to be held on the following dates:

* First draw with 5 eReaders available to be won(one per winner): April 29th
* Second draw with 5 eReaders available to be won (one per winner): May 6th

1 eBook Purchase = 1 contest entry

Every eBook you buy is one entry to WIN!
All the official rules can be found HERE, but essentially all you do is buy the books you would have anyway (remember, Kobo's books are not Kindle compatible), up to six entries per person. Since the rules specify clicking on the "Buy Now" button, this and other free books won't count (unless they bring back coupon, which it does not appear they will do, due to the agency model forced upon them by publishers).
