The 411 on TEXAS GOTHIC: Amy Goodnight's family is far from normal. She comes from a line of witches, but tries her best to stay far outside the family business. Her summer gig? Ranch-sitting for her aunt with her wacky but beautiful sister. Only the Goodnight Ranch is even less normal than it normally is. Bodies are being discovered, a ghost is on the prowl, and everywhere she turns, the hot neighbor cowboy is in her face.

I have not heard of this author before. Texas Gothic has my attention.
Sounds intriguing! Texas is not where I would have envisioned this subject of magic and darkness, so I'm interested to read!
Sounds pretty good. Looking forward to reading it.
Sounds like a great read. Please drop my name in the hat!
It looks really interesting. I love the paranormal vision of Texas with ghosts, witches and magic. Oh My!
Sounds interesting. Count me in please.
Ohh! I love this week's giveaway! My sister and I have read all of Rosemary-Clement Moore's novels so far so we've both looking forward to seeing how Texas Gothic compares! It sounds really good. :)
Wow, this is the first that I had heard of this release and its combination sounds intriguing!
This book has had great reviews and it looks fantastic. Thank you for this Friday giveaway.
My interest is piqued. The cover drew me in as well. I'd be happy to give this "southern gothic" book a try.
My interest is piqued. Hoping to find a new author to follow
Don't think I've read a southern gothic book before. But definitely wanting to give it a try now that I've heard about it. Love trying new genres and authors.
I have not seen anything on this before. It does sound like a great read!
This looks like something I would read and recommend to students. Thanks for spotlighting a great author. And although you cannot see my word for the word verification, it is coincidentally something would make a great Southern sayin'. Just sayin, yall!
The combination of the Republic of Texas and Gothic is intriguing. I'd love to win and ARC of this story, and I promise to give it a fair reading and review.
Hi Jia Gayles,

Totally looking forward to reading this book!!!
RCM is awesome! I'm really looking forward to Texas Gothic.
You had me at "witches" :-)
The book looks fab!
OMG I love Rosemary so much! She came to the Romance Times Convention in LA and was hilarious! I had never read anything by her before that, but I picked up Splendor Falls solely on meeting her and hearing her read an excerpt from Texas Gothic. The MC was chasing cows out of her yard in her underwear. Everyone was dying of laughter, both on the panel and in the audience. I would LOVE to read the rest of it.
I have been DYING to read this book ever since I heard an excerpt of it at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in April. I would love to win an copy, so count me in!
Hope to win

I love YA and this looks like a great new read, count me in.
Very intriguing storyline.
The cover is gorgeous. This novel is definitely on my radar.
I didn't know there were going to be ARCs! Cool.
I loved The Splendor Falls & I am so excited for Texas Gothic!
Oooh, Texas Gothic is on my Can't-Wait-to-Read list, an ARC would be lovely!
