Relics by Maer Wilson!

I'm so excited to have Maer Wilson, author of Relics, on my blog today. She's been so busy since the release of her novel, that I knew I had to snag her. I'm not going to lie, Relics looks like an awesome read, definitely something I could get into, which is why I already have it loaded on my Kindle. Here's a little about the book:

Seriously, I'm not kidding. And A Stiff Kiss did more than capture my attention within the first few paragraphs, it grabbed me from the first sentence.

"When I was twelve, I found my mother dead on Christmas Day."

I mean, how can you not continue to read a novel with a first line like that? It's awesome, brilliant, and it leaves you with so many unanswered questions.

Ms. Olive did such a wonderful job creating such a terrific cast of characters set in a very believable world.

Xylia Morana has been obsessed with death ever since she found her mother dead on Christmas Day. While other kids her age engage in sports, party way too much, and flock to the mall every weekend, Xylia spends her spare time in the morgue, at cemeteries, and attending funerals for people she never knew. Although I don't spend my time in any of these places, I had a very strong connection to Xylia. I could feel her pain and imagine the emotions she must be going through. Not only did she lose her mother, but she was the first to discover her dead body. And at twelve years old, that's really devastating for a child, which is why she chooses to close herself off to the world. That is until she kisses the corpse of the guy she has always had the hots for.

Landon Phoenix is popular, the star of the soccer team, and way out of Xylia's league. But when he collapses on the soccer field, pronounced dead, and taken to the hospital morgue, Xylia decides to give him one last kiss goodbye. A kiss that will breathe life back into Landon.

When Landon wakes up, he is drawn to Xylia, even though she attempts to avoid him in every possible way. But when she decides to take the road trip she's been wanting to go on, she finds herself traveling with Landon. And not by choice. During their trip, Landon and Xylia connect and, not only do they begin to open up to one another, but they end up falling in love. But Landon has a problem. He cheated death, and now death wants him back or someone to take his place. That someone is Xylia.

If you're looking for an awesome read, A Stiff Kiss is a must!(less)
