Alpha Showdown Round 9: Vote for Mercy!

Even before I started blogging, I was a big fan of Vampire Book Club's Alpha Showdown, the annual competition that pits our favorite paranormal characters against each other to see who's the bigger badass. But now I actually get to champion an Alpha.

 This year I'm all about Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series. Thanks to everyone who voted in round 5! Mercy made it to the next level. 

In round 9, Marcy's taking on Kane Malloy from Lindsey J. Pryor's Blackthorn series. He's the vampire who defeated top-ranked Jane Yellowrock in round 1. So Mercy's going to need all the help she can get.

Being the best Alpha should be about who's the best leader, the toughest fighter, the biggest badass, not about looks or sex appeal. It's about time for a woman to win it!



Round 9 voting is open today and tomorrow. Please take a minute to vote for Mercy!

The Alpha Showdown Is On! Vote For Simon!

Like Gretl, I too was a fan of Vampire Book Club's Alpha Showdown before I started blogging. This annual competition pits our favorite paranormal characters against each other to see who's the bigger badass. This year I'm actually championing an Alpha.

Who am I championing? You ask. My alpha is none other than the delightfully feral Simon Wolfgard from Anne Bishop's The Others series. (You all know how much we love Simon, Meg, and the rest of the Lakeside Courtyard residents around here!) He's taking on Vlad from the Night Huntress and Night Prince series in Round 6.

This round is open through the rest of today. So please go read the pitches and vote for Simon!

For more on his series, you can check out our reviews.

Gretl is also championing an alpha in the showdown this year and Mercy made it to the next round. Watch for her next round coming soon!

It's Alpha Showdown Time: Vote for Mercy!

Even before I started blogging, I was a big fan of Vampire Book Club's Alpha Showdown, the annual competition that pits our favorite paranormal characters against each other to see who's the bigger badass. But now I actually get to champion an Alpha.



This year, I'm all about Mercy Thompson from Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series. (You might have noticed how much we love her and all of Briggs's characters around here.) She's taking on Merit from the Chicagoland Vampires series in round 5. It's something of a rematch since their significant others battled in round 3. Mercy's husband Adam won BTW.

UPDATE:Mercy won her first round! Thanks to everyone who voted!

This round is open today and tomorrow. So please go read the pitches and vote for Mercy.
For more on her series, check out our reviews.



Rose Red is also championing an alpha in the showdown this year. Watch for her round next week!

Ladies and Gentlemen...Boys and Girls...

It's that time of year again!

2015 Alpha Showdown!

Hosted, as always, by Vampire Book Club

Starting on May 18th!

In case you're not already familiar with the Alpha Showdown, Vampire Book Club has readers nominate the biggest and baddest Alphas, both male and female, that are our favorites from books. Then the 16 Alphas with the most nominations are pitted against each other until only one Alpha remains. Each round of competition is voted on by readers like YOU, so we need your votes! Plus - there are prizes for you to win throughout the competition!

This year, Goldilox and the Three Weres is championing not ONE, but TWO Alphas in the competition!

Goldilox will be championing...

Vlad!

from Jeaniene Frost's Night Prince series
  

Gretl will be championing...

Bones!

from Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series
      

Yes, we realize the funny coincidence that we are both from the same blog and championing Alphas that share a world! We are really hoping our men can face off against each other in the competition at some point. But, first, we need those votes! Keep an eye out for updates on Facebook and Twitter when each of these handsome badasses has their first showdown and then go to Vampire Book Club and VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

The Alpha Showdown begins on May 18th!
In the meantime, here is the bracket with the rest of the face-offs you can look forward to!

Don't forget to vote! 
We'll see you in the showdown!
