Giveaway: This Case is Gonna Kill Me by Phillipa Bornikova

This Case is Gonna Kill Me 
Linnet Ellery #1

What happens when The Firm meets Anita Blake? You get the Halls of Power—our modern world, but twisted. Law, finance, the military, and politics are under the sway of long-lived vampires, werewolves, and the elven Alfar. Humans make the best of rule by “the Spooks,” and contend among themselves to affiliate with the powers-that-be, in order to avoid becoming their prey. Very loyal humans are rewarded with power over other women and men. Very lucky humans are selected to join the vampires, werewolves, and elves—or, on occasion, to live at the Seelie Court.

Linnet Ellery is the offspring of an affluent Connecticut family dating back to Colonial times. Fresh out of law school, she’s beginning her career in a powerful New York “white fang” law firm. She has high hopes of eventually making partner.

But strange things keep happening to her. In a workplace where some humans will eventually achieve immense power and centuries of extra lifespan, office politics can be vicious beyond belief. After some initial missteps, she finds herself sidelined and assigned to unpromising cases. Then, for no reason she can see, she becomes the target of repeated, apparently random violent attacks, escaping injury each time through increasingly improbable circumstances. However, there’s apparently more to Linnet Ellery than a little old-money human privilege. More than even she knows. And as she comes to understand this, she’s going to shake up the system like you wouldn’t believe….

  3. I've read a few books in the Anita Blake series. I hope to one day go through them all. It's such a long-standing series I'm curious to see how Anita grows.

  6. Thanks for a great post and giveaway! I've had this book on my want list already so I really want to read it :)

    I haven't read the Anita Blake series yet. I'm a bit intimidated by the size of the series and I can't start a new, long series with my TBR mountain range about to avalanche.

  9. I've read all of the Anita Blake series to date. The earlier books were better when the necromancy was a stronger theme.

  10. I haven't, but my sister read several of them. It sounded like it got too, uh, romance-y and it turned her off the series.

  12. I started reading the AB series and absolutely loved the first couple books that I read, I even bought the third one before I'd finished the first book, but when I looked online at reviews, I saw a ton of negative reviews from people complaining how the series had changed from a great UF book to a non-stop smutfest and I had zero desire to read about that, so I didn't continue with the series.
