    Oh gosh… these books are amazing. I almost don’t want to win because then the series will be over. Almost. But I still really want to win one!

    I can’t believe it’s coming to a close! Allie is one of my all time favorites. The good thing is, with the last book coming out, that means I can read the whole series over again, whenever I want. 😀

    Do bribes work? *waves a cupcake in your general direction* 🙂

    I’m excited about the final book, I discovered the series a few months ago and blew through the first 8 books in like a week. It’s a wonderful story and I cant wait to see what kind of adventures Shame and Terric get into.

    I’m so sad, and so, so excited for this book!! I will be gutted to say goodbye to the Allie series. But I’m also desperate to find out what happens!!! And the Shame & Terric spinoff fills me with warm fuzzies and so much anticipation. I adore those two more than I can say and I’m ridiculously happy that we’ll get more of them!

    Ohgodohgodohgod! I can’t wait for this next book! And I’m really excited for the spinoff! A series all about Shame and Terric… Where’s a time machine when you need one?

  • Kris Urquhart
    September 11, 2012 at 12:38 pm

    WOW! I WANT ONE! I am excited to see how it all comes together! So glad you are doing a spinoff with Shame & Terric – it makes the ending a little more bearable since Shame has the best lines 😉 Will miss Allie & Zavion though, hope they are included in Shame’s adventures.

    Although I will be sad that this will be the last book, I am also looking forward to the Shame and Terric series. Can’t wait for that one.

    O MY GOODNESS!! I Cannon freaking wait to read the final book! It’s bittersweet really. I think the only thing that keeps me from crying is the prospect of the new series with Shame and Terric!

  • Mammaof two

    Can’t wait to read the last book! Sad to see it end. but very EXCITED about the spin off, love me some Shame!!!

    September 11, 2012 at 2:10 pm

    So one more book to find out what Allie’s dad is really up to.

    Shame and Terric are cool etc, but to have your Dad in your head is the ultimate parental control….I’ve got a nearly teen .that really appeals.

    So please, pick me.

    Also I’ve never even seen an ARC before so it would be a public service!

  • Rachel G.
    September 11, 2012 at 2:40 pm

    Would love a free copy. I pray I win, but if i don’t I’ll be getting it regardless, though free is nice too. I have all printed books, which I have read them a few times each & then also got all available audiobooks to listen to my fav Allie adventures while at work. So sad to hear its the last one in the series though :~( Hopefully the audiobooks for the last book & this up coming book will come out quickly too then so I can add then to my audiobook collection so I can listen to them over & over & over.

    I cam not believe the end is here. I am so sad this is it however I will always re-read my books when I truly fall for them. I love shame so much and am so happy there will be a spin off set. However really hope allie makes an appearance as I kind of truly love her too.

    Aww – Bittersweet – There have been a few last of the series novels out lately. Good series, also – of which I consider Allie Beckstrom among my favorites. I remember when I first bought #1, I hadn’t even heard your name before, or even read anything about the novel. But I saw that cover, read the blurb and thought I need to try this one out. Bought it and loved it and each novel after that. You’ve done a great job with this series and I’m sad it’s ending, even while I think it’s smart to have a limit to the series. Now I’m looking forward to reading more of your steampunk -which I also enjoy – and whatever else you produce.

  • Sarah Allsop-Fine

    So very excited and sad for the last book! I’m really looking forward to seeing how things end.

    Ooh! Ooh! I want! I want!


    Crap. Can’t remember how the ‘Dance To Appease The Gods Of Random’ goes… Hmmm. Guess I’ll just wing it…
    {{shakes booty, chicken bones, maracas, and pom-poms}}

    I’ll miss Allie, but I’m glad we’re getting more from her world. Thank you for all the hours of enjoyment you’ve given me with this series, Devon. Thank you.

    September 11, 2012 at 8:05 pm

    Do I ever! Advance copy of the last Allie Beckstrom book – who in their right mind wouldn’t? Can’t wait to see how you finish Allie’s story (and being in Australia I’ll have to wait that little bit longer…. Damn geography!), though it’ll be sad not to have the next installment to look forward to.
    And just to finish, a plea to the random number generator – please please please please please please please please please pick me!

    I would love this book my best friend. She is in love with this series and this would be a great gift for a maid of honor. It would an absolute honor for her to have this book. Thank you so much for considering me. Best of luck to you with all you do. Thank you for a great series.

    Hope I finally win one, but sorry to see this series end. Can hardly wait to see what Shame and Terric are up to. Hope the next ‘Age of Steam’ book is in the near future as well.

    Awesome! As sad as I am about the series ending I’m looking forward to Shame and Terric. That should be interesting. And with all the comments I doubt I’ll win but I’m going to buy it when it comes out either way. Are you planning on signing the 7 books in the contest? Because that would be even cooler.

  • Clymistra

    I have been looking forward to this book since April when I read all of the previous eight books in three days! Sad that it’s the final book in the series, but I am very excited about the Shame and Terric spin-off and would love to hear more about it.

    Zomigod! I would love an advance copy. Though I will be sad to see the end of Allie as the lead, I am looking forward to Shame and Terric and seeing their special messed up relationship hopefully get better.

    I love the way you give away advance copies. It keeps us coming back again and again to your blog. Well that and the interesting posts. I read a lot, but I generally don’t follow writers websites. You are one of the few exceptions. I love your enthusiasm and wit. And your books!

    Pick me all powerful number generator! I would love an advanced copy even though it would be bitter sweet as this will be the final book in the series (minus the side story with Shame and Terric of course!).

  • Pam P

    I’m so happy I have read the Allie Beckstrom series! They were so much fun, always wanting more and now that the final book is almost out, its bitter sweetness. Looking forward to reading the conclusion, if I don’t win, I hope the library buys it soon 🙂 Congrats Devon on the series!

  • Caitlin Hayward
    September 13, 2012 at 4:59 pm

    Oh!! I want! I would just love love love to win an ARC, but even if I don’t, I guess I’ll just have to wait for it to come out November 6th. Though it really makes me sad that this is the last book in the series, but hearing that there’s going to be a spinoff series with Shame and Terric, makes me feel a little bit better! 🙂

  • Ali C. Smith
    September 13, 2012 at 5:11 pm

    Going to really miss Allie after this book.
    So glad that we will be able to see a little of her hopefully in some of the books you plan to write about Shame & Terric. Looking forward to the whole back story about them, and why it seems to make Shame so ornery. ;->
    Also loving the Steampunk, didn’t even know it was genre until after I had read Dead Iron.

    Thanks for all the great stories!

    I’m still a little in denial that this is it for Allie. I can’t wait to read the book, but I don’t want it to end.

    Thanks for writing such an amazing series. Crossing my fingers that there’s some Shame/Terric love in this book too!

    I was born and raised in Portland and picking up your books down here in Reno have been like having a piece of home. You are a gifted writer and even though I will be sad to see Allie go, I can’t wait to read about Shame and Terric. Very curious! Please pick me! I really want to read this book, I have kept this title on my fridge as soon as the last book came out!

    I got hooked after reading the first Allie Beckstrom Novel and I am sad to see this series come to an end.
    Yet at the same time I am glad to hear there will be a spinoff eries.
    Will Allie be making an appearance in this series?
    Hope you keep writing these awesome books 🙂

  • Chris L.
    September 14, 2012 at 9:08 am

    I can’t wait to see what Allie’s happy ever after will look like ..I’m assuming she’ll get one lol and I think a Sherric spinoff will be just what the Doctor order ed to soothe us after Allie’s story comes to an end 🙂

  • Danielle D.
    September 14, 2012 at 10:46 am

    I love Allie! I am so sad this will be the last book. On a positive note, my second favorite character is Shame and I am really looking forward to a series about him. Would love to win a copy of the last book!
