Lindsey Sparks’ Bookshop review
The useful bit of Lindsey Sparks’ Bookshop is seeing several editions of one book side by side. In *The Last Vampire Queen*, the red and silver hardcovers are both *Heir of Blood and Moonlight*, book one. The purple hardcover is *Guardian of Blood and Shadow*, book two. I’d check the title and number before picking by colour.
Check what comes with the hardcover
The purple *Guardian of Blood and Shadow* listing specifies a signed copy with illustrated endpapers and a black satin bookmark ribbon. The product page also says it comes without a dust jacket. If I just wanted to carry on with the story, I’d look for the standard paperback or check the audiobook listing. The bookshop’s Bundles section covers other series, with separate audio and print sets for the *Echo Trilogy*.
Where to look if you want the story first
I’d browse Smashwords for ebooks from different writers. Sparks’ shop is where I’d go when I already knew the author and wanted to see what came with a particular physical edition.
Anabel’s take
Use the number in the product title first, then check the edition details. The foil colour caught my eye, but the dust-jacket note is the detail I’d want to know before choosing a copy for my shelf.
