Rebel Belle? Rebel Belle? Really?
Sorry. But that was my reaction to this.
Two more things:
1. "Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him..."
So she hates him, but is in love with him. That doesn't even make sense. That's not even starcrossed love. That's just dumb.
2. David Stark? Okay, some last names go with characters that...more

Wait, what?
I thought this was supposed to come out in 2013 and now they've pushed it back to 2014?
You have got to be kidding me!
What is up with publishers pushing publication dates lately?

DUDE. THIS IS THE NEW SOPHIE AND ARCHER! :D
HAH. I ALREADY LOVE'EM BOTH. :D
CAN'T WAIT TILL THIS IS OUT!
Excerpt from Rebel Belle:
I hurried out of the lobby and turned the corner into the English hall, so I didn’t see the guy in front of me until it was too late.
“Oh!” I exclaimed as we bumped shoulders. “Sorry!”
Then I realized who I’d bumped into, and I immediately regretted my apologetic tone. If I’d known it was David Stark, I would have tried to hit him harder, or maybe stepped on his foot with...more

Neither the name nor the blurb attracts me to the book. I would never have added it if it weren't written by Rachel Hawkins, author of the Hex Hall series.

Maybe a cover sometime soon, pretty please!
I REALLY want this book, the description makes me want to go out and hunt it down. I love Rachel Hawkins humour so I'm expecting great things.

That blurb is very badly written.
The title is also NOT appropriate.
The book is much more than that.
And that is saying something when it is can't-stand-any-more-paranormal-romances me talking.

This actually sounds really good. 'Recruited to be in an elite force of guards' -- Just sounds very kickassery to me. But I just hope my heroine can do some of that and not obsess over her drama-queen business.
Cannot. Wait.

“I hurried out of the lobby and turned the corner into the English hall, so I didn’t see the guy in front of me until it was too late.
“Oh!” I exclaimed as we bumped shoulders. “Sorry!”
Then I realized who I’d bumped into, and I immediately regretted my apologetic tone. If I’d known it was David Stark, I would have tried to hit him harder, or maybe stepped on his foot with the spiky heel of my new shoes for good measure.
I did my best to smile at him, though, even as I realized my stomach was jumping all over the place. He must have scared me more than I’d thought.
David scowled at me over the rims of his ridiculous hipster glasses, the kind with the thick black rims. I hate those. I mean, it’s the 21st century. There are fashionable options for eyewear.
“Watch where you’re going,” he said. Then his lips twisted in a smirk. “Or could you not see through all that mascara?”
I would’ve loved nothing more than the tell him to kiss my ass, but one of the responsibilities of being a student leader at The Grove is being polite to everyone, even if he is a douchebag who wrote not one, but three incredibly unflattering articles in the school paper about what a crap job you’re doing as SGA president.
And you especially needed to be polite to said douchebag when he happened to be the nephew of Saylor Stark, President of the Pine Grove Junior League, head of the Pine Grove Betterment Society, Chairwoman of the Grove Academy School Board, and, most importantly, Founder and Organizer of Pine Grove’s Annual Cotillion.
So I forced myself to smile even bigger at David and said, “Nope, just in a hurry. Are you, uh… are you here for the dance?”
He snorted. “Um, no. I’d rather slam my testicles in a locker door. I have some work to do on the paper.”
