YA hardcovers up for grabs, for the price of a review!
I've got two recent hardcover young adult releases (review copies courtesy of the publishers) that I'll give away in exchange for a short review. You read the book, write up a couple of paragraphs, send it to me, and I'll post it! Such a deal, yes?
DARKNESS BECOMES HER by Kelly Keaton, Simon Pulse, February 2011
Ari can't help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can't be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it's impossible to protect herself when she doesn't know what she's running from or why she is being pursued.
She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very…different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
Ari won't stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.
MOONGLASS by Jessi Kirby, Simon & Schuster, May 2011
When Anna was little, she and her mother used to search for sea glass, but since they looked at night, they called it moonglass. Now, ten years after her mother's mysterious death, her father is working as head lifeguard on the same beach where her mother grew up and her parents first met and fell in love.Reluctant to get close to anyone (including her father) and not pleased about having to start at a new school, Anna begins to spend more time alone, running the length of the beach and wondering about who her mother really was. After meeting a lifeguard named Tyler, she slowly lets her guard down and together they start exploring the abandoned houses that dot the beach.
But when learning more about her mother's past leads to a painful discovery, Anna must reconcile her desire for solitude with ultimately accepting the love of her family and friends.
I'll draw the winners from all comments left here by Saturday, June 4, 2011, 9:00 a.m. CDT. I'll need the review back by the end of June. If that works, then tell me below which book you'd like to read!
