Cover Reveal: Entice by Jessica Shirvington

I am so excited that the incredible cover of ENTICE by Jessica Shirvington is here and beyond thrilled to catch a glimpse at what lies ahead for Violet:

“Two tutors and three students from the Grigori training center in New York were arriving in two days and I couldn’t be happier.  I was going to be able to learn from the experts and have people my own age to train with, something I really needed.  I was sure with their help I would be able to get over whatever it was that had been holding me back. 

Griffin had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the two senior Grigori –the intelligence, resources and backup they could provide was much needed.  The Scripture that can decipher the identity of all Grigori, even those who have not yet embraced and are therefore defenseless, was at stake. 

I would not stand by and watch it fall into the hands of exiles.  If they found they key to destroying all Grigori and gained the upper hand, the slaughter would not stop until all the humans knelt before them, worshipping them as gods.”

OK, I have chills now.  Plus, new characters!!  I can’t wait to meet the crew from New York.

 

Here’s the scoop!

 

Seventeen-year-old Violet Eden’s is back! With a destiny is to protect humans from the vengeance of exiled angels it becomes clear that it won’t be easy as even her partner, Lincoln, is hiding something.  And now she has to learn to live with her feelings for him while they work together to stay alive and stop the exiles from discovering the key to destroy all Grigori.  It isn’t easy. Especially when the electricity between her and  Phoenix ignites and she discovers his hold over her has become more dangerous than ever.  Violet’s power will be pushed to the extreme with a race halfway across the world to find the one artifact that could tilt the balance of power between Angels and Exiles.  And the ultimate betrayal will be exposed.

Waiting on Wednesday: I’ll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted on Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s Waiting On Wednesday selection is:

I’ll Be There by Holly Goldberg Sloan

Release Date: June 12, 2012

Synopsis:

Emily Bell believes in destiny. To her, being forced to sing a solo in the church choir–despite her average voice–is fate: because it’s while she’s singing that she first sees Sam. At first sight, they are connected.

Sam Border wishes he could escape, but there’s nowhere for him to run. He and his little brother, Riddle, have spent their entire lives constantly uprooted by their unstable father. That is, until Sam sees Emily. That’s when everything changes.

As Sam and Riddle are welcomed into the Bells’ lives, they witness the warmth and protection of a family for the first time. But when tragedy strikes, they’re left fighting for survival in the desolate wilderness, and wondering if they’ll ever find a place where they can belong. Beautifully written and emotionally profound, I’ll Be There is a gripping story that explores the complexities of teenage passions, friendships, and loyalties.

Why:

I am really not sure.  I love this cover and the blurb sounds interesting.   I just feel drawn to it.

Author Guest Post and Review: Nothing Special by Geoff Herbach

TOP TEN THINGS TO BRING ON A ROAD TRIP 

I am always woefully unprepared when I hit the road.  Generally I gain a lot of weight from eating truck stop crap and also have to buy supplies along the way, because I’m not a good planner.  So, if I were to think about it ahead of time, rather than taking off half-cocked, these are the ten items I would make sure I had: 

  1. A cooler for my beer.  Just kidding.  I’d bring a cooler for yogurt and health drinks and for lettuce.  I’d also bring some almonds for heart health and some delicious fruit to tide me over until I can hit the next organic co-op along the way.
  2. Stretchy pants.  After agonizing over how much I don’t like vegetables, I will need to have stretchy pants, because I will likely freak out after a day, and then I’ll eat pizza and sub sandwiches and many bacon cheeseburgers.  If I’m in the south, I will eat cheese grits.  My jeans will burst and I’ll need stretchy pants.
  3. A harmonica.  I’ll use this when I’m singing the fat man blues.
  4. Several phone chargers.  I spill coffee on everything electronic when I’m road tripping.  Phone chargers fizzle fast.  I’ll likely need a new phone or two, but that’s a risk I’ll take (won’t buy in advance, due to expense).
  5. A paper map.  Electronics die when you spill coffee.  Paper just looks gross.  You can still read a map through coffee stains.
  6. A Frisbee.  My muscles get all knotted up.  Nothing feels better than chasing a Frisbee through the winds of some foreign place (if my heart can take it after all the bacon).
  7. Mad libs.  These are funny for three minutes.  The best three minutes of your trip will be spent creating a dirty mad lib.
  8. A friend or two.  My friend Sam and I went on a two-month book tour a few years ago.  We took lots of hilarious pictures in crazy places – like at crazy Niagra Falls – which made the trip seem fun! 
  9. Underpants.  Remember, you will want a change of underpants at some point.
  10.  A notebook.  The truth about road trips is that much time is spent suffering, confused, wishing you were home.  I love that.  I would rather suffer than be bored.  You get to know yourself when you’re uncomfortable.  Bring a notebook so you can keep track of your beautiful monkey thoughts.

 

That sounds about right.

synopsis:

Hey Aleah,
I miss you. Because there’s some serious donkey crap going on right now. I’m supposed to be at football camp, but noooo … Andrew had to go missing! So because of my stupid little brother, I’ll probably lose my chance at a scholarship and end up being nothing special.

I’m pretty sure Andrew ran away to Florida, and now Gus and I have to drive cross-country to get him. Did you know Gus used to think Miss Piggy was hot? Anyway, Andrew once told me I needed to get my head out of my butt. So that’s what I’m trying to do. How about a kiss for luck?

My thoughts:

Geoff Herbach brings another very uniquely written book to the table with Nothing Special.  I have never read a book written in the manner that this is.  Written in letter style reflecting on both current events and looking back further to explain the background of what is currently happening.  Nothing Special starts at the beginning of Felton’s second football season the following year from Stupid Fast.  Felton is being scouted by colleges and his younger brother is acting very odd.  That is if odd is the right word.  There were many changes in life for all of the family and it has affected all of the relationships even down to Felton’s relationship with his best friend.  Felton’s younger brother, Andrew, makes a pitch to Jerri, their mom, to attend an orchestra camp and leaves for the summer. Gus, Felton’s ex-best friend,  finds out that Andrew did not go to this camp but ran away.  At the same time, Felton has been getting very odd emails and think that it is Gus being a jerk.  Anyhow, Gus knows that something is wrong and wants to help Felton find his brother and sort things out.  The boys start out on a massive road trip, lying to both parents that they are headed to the University of Michigan for college visits.  What Felton finds in Florida, is a family he never really knew about and this Grandfather who is very angry with his dead father.  This whole experience is very eye opening for Felton and he learns a lot about himself along the way.

It took me a while to get used to the style of writing in this book.  A letter form was very different, kind of like a journal but not really.  I did find that this was easier to read that Stupid Fast mostly because I knew what to expect of the language and attitudes of the characters.  I still enjoyed the male point of view but did feel that Nothing Special was a much more mature book that handled topics that seemed much more real and important.  It was not as full of fluff but more about dealing with feelings both expected and unexpected.  I also felt that the language used was more mature and better written.  

While not my favorite read, I did enjoy the story and believe that most young male readers would be drawn to the story.  I am pleased to see a second book in this series since there are so few books that have male main characters that teen boys would pick up and read.  I hope that that these books encourage more books to be written from this perspective.
