COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘Aubrey Wants to Die’ by Pip Knight

This week, we’re giving away three copies of Aubrey Wants to Die by Pip Knight. A 150-year-old vampire who desperately wants to die finds hope in her soulmate Jonathan, but when he dumps her and her dangerous sire returns, she's thrust into a hedonistic underworld that forces her to question everything about life and herself. Here’s the blurb:

Love is hard. Being undead is harder … Dolly Alderton meets ‘True Blood’ in this dark, funny hell of a story

Aubrey is not what she seems. She's young, beautiful, romantic, obsessive and … a vampire. All she wants is to be human again, and failing that, she wants to die. But the problem is, she can't. Not by stake through the heart or holy water or crucifix or garlic or fire. And she'd know, she's tried every method. Twice.

So she's stuck here on this earth, all alone. Even the vampire who made her has abandoned her.

But everything changes when, one fateful night, she meets Jonathan. He's everything Aubrey's ever dreamed of and, what's more, he's her soulmate. Her Bella-Edward story. For the first time in 150 years, she has a reason to hope-eternal life might be bearable after all. So when Jonathan unexpectedly breaks up with her, she'll do anything to get him back.

But that's the exact moment Oscar, aristocratic douchebag and her long-gone sire, swoops back into her life. And he has other plans for her. Soon, she's thrown into a world of glamour, glitter, blood and hedonism, a world that has her questioning everything she knows to be true – about life, but also about herself.

A world where nothing is simple … And no one is safe, either.
