If you missed the first contest you still have a chance to win in the contest this week. If you couldn’t quite leave the Hollows or felt Kim’s new series was not your style, give this second book a chance. You can sense Kim’s writing settle into a place that feels like home. And, here is your chance to take it home free! See how to play below.
I received an advanced copy of “The Operator” scheduled for release this month, November 2016. You Do Not want to miss this Kim Harrison book. Similar to her skill with series past, each book reveals new depth – making the book before more real and meaningful. Kim is an artist who paints with equal broad and detailed strokes, hiding just enough to make you want more. In this second book Peri struggles with addiction, but she starts to find her motley crew of friends.
Kim is skilled at putting together a cast of characters readers come back to time and time again. This series is no different. Chapter one starts with power; the struggle and cost of it may be too high a price to pay for a character afraid to trust again. But, don’t take my word alone, this is what a few readers have said after just reading chapter one.
Below is the last Sudoku puzzle. There are 14 total. You can find them all on the Sudoku Answers with Scrambled Clues page. Unscramble the letters and numbers to find The Operator. Why? Because Peri’s job stole her mind; her memories, her happiness, her hurts—all twisted and manipulated by whoever anchored her till she took back control. Now a new threat looms, but even those who want to help her have to find her first. Each day this week is a new opportunity to submit your code to find her and win.
How to Play:
- Go to Goodreads – read the first chapter, then give Kim a shout out to wish her a Happy Book Birthday or just let her know you’re there in the comments.
- Send me an email at AlexisTDH@outlook.com with your Goodreads name and your unscrambled Sudoku code to find the Operator using the letters and the red numbers.
- I will enter you to win all three prizes (The Drafter, The Operator, and The Milkweed seeds)
Global opportunity. I will ship International (note their may be restrictions on seeds international).

We have a winner for this copy of The Witch with No Name autographed to one of the character favorites from the Hollows. I will be sending out an email to the lucky winner today! So, if you played – watch your email.
This copy of The Witch With No Name is very special because it belongs to . . . well I can’t just tell you. However, here are the clues I gave for readers to guess.
Riddle for October 14th: Search through The Drafter you may find a clue, but if too much is forgotten it cannot help you.
Riddle for October 21st: I can’t make it easy, we’ve too far yet to go, but if you read Kim’s Waylaid you may be in the know.
Riddle for October 28th: This book belongs to someone Kim often seems to miss, but if you’re in the Hollows you may not notice this.
Riddle for November 4th: The give away is closer, I hope you have a guess, but if you get it right you may invite a dangerous guest.
Riddle for November 11th: I hope you get the answer, I’ll send the book in haste. So when he shouts “You itchy witch”, I can send him to your place.
If you guessed Al—you got it right!
I loved many characters in the Hollows, but like many readers, Rachel held a special connection for me. So, when I asked Kim to sign this book to Al, Rachel’s reluctant teacher, to add to my character collection of books I never dreamed I would give it away. I’d like to say I’m giving it away as a means of paying it forward as any student would do for a teacher, but truly I’m just scared he is going to come looking for it (laugh).
Congratulations to the lucky winner!
