Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo/iTunes) Escaping the Vampire [Xtian YA Media Studies Advice]

[ATDrake]

Escaping the Vampire: Desperate for the Immortal Hero by Kimberly Powers is her pop-culture icon-examining guide cum derived life lessons aimed especially at teenagers, concentrating on the Twilight franchise (incidentally written by a Mormon and apparently mirroring a lot of Mormon cultural practices, which is like, faith-adjacent or so I've heard), free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

This has previously been offered free in 2013.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Kobo (both available to Canadians), ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available to selected countries, if they ever get around to reinstating downloadability for the freebies again), and might also be free at other retailers listed on the publisher's webcatalogue page, where you can watch the book's video trailer. Price-drop-check linkage for Google Play, where these things often also go free, but apparently not in Canada this time around.

Description
Since 2005, the wildly popular Twilight saga has sold more than 42 million copies—20 million in 2008 alone—with translations into 37 different languages around the globe. Millions of teen girls are fanatical about these books. Vampire lit is hot. But why is that?

Kimberly Powers knows that at the core of every young woman's heart is a longing to be truly, madly, deeply loved. And that's what's so compelling about the Bella / Edward story—the fantasy of a hero who is eternally attracted, fiercely protective, and passionately committed. Powers taps into this, using the vampire allusion to help girls explore what it is about the story that has captured their hearts. Weaving vampire lore with biblical truths and real-life stories, she helps girls move beyond the fantasy to discovery of the true Lover of their soul.
