YA Scavenger Hunt [Contests now over]
Welcome to the SECOND edition of the YA SCAVENGER HUNT, running Dec 1-Dec 4 (noon Pacific time). I'm so excited to participate once again!!! Not only because I am hosting an amazing author, but my own bonus material is out there somewhere on someone else's blog!
Each author on the hunt is hosting another author's bonus material AND a link to the next step of the hunt. Take a couple of hours and work your way through the entire circuit collecting the words in red and entering all of the different contests you find along the way.
For this year's scavenger hunt, I have the honor of hosting the lovely Abbi Glines!
About Abbi: 
Abbi Glines can be found hanging out with rockstars, taking out her yacht on weekends for a party cruise, sky diving, or surfing in Maui. Okay maybe she needs to keep her imagination focused on her writing only. In the real world, Abbi can be found hauling kids (several who seem to show up that don't belong to her) to all their social events, hiding under the covers with her MacBook in hopes her husband won't catch her watching Buffy on Netflix again, and sneaking off to Barnes and Noble to spend hours lost in the yummy goodness of books. If you want to find her then check Twitter first because she has a severe addiction to tweeting @abbiglines. Facebook and Google + are some of her other stomping grounds. She also blogs regularly but rarely about anything life changing. She also really enjoys talking about herself in third person.
To find out more about Abbi and her books, visit her website at www.abbiglines.com.

And here is Abbi's BRAND NEW YA paranormal romance, EXISTENCE!!!
About EXISTENCE:
What happens when you're stalked by Death? You fall in love with him, of course.
Pagan Moore doesn't cheat Death, but instead, falls in love with him.
Seventeen year old Pagan Moore has seen souls her entire life. Once she realized the strangers she often saw walking through walls were not visible to anyone else, she started ignoring them. If she didn't let them know she could see them, then they left her alone. Until she stepped out of her car the first day of school and saw an incredibly sexy guy lounging on a picnic table, watching her with an amused smirk on his face. Problem is, she knows he's dead.
Not only does he not go away when she ignores him, but he does something none of the others have ever done. He speaks. Pagan is fascinated by the soul. What she doesn't realize is that her appointed time to die is drawing near and the wickedly beautiful soul she is falling in love with, is not a soul at all.
He is Death and he's about to break all the rules.
EXISTENCE will be released in just under 2 weeks on DECEMBER 13! You can pre-order it here.
For her scavenger hunt BONUS MATERIAL, Abbi has given us a mini-prequel from EXISTENCE called "DEATH'S ARRIVAL".
The moment she spotted me, I knew it. Granted, she did a really good job of pretending she couldn't see me. The fact that she halted in her steps the moment her eyes met mine, then quickly darted past me as she hurried into the school, gave her away. Students walked past me all morning without seeing me, but this one saw me. I stood up from the wooden picnic table, where I'd been sitting awaiting her arrival. I could force her to acknowledge me by becoming visible to everyone else but I wasn't in the mood to do so just yet. The determination in her eyes intrigued me. If there hadn't been a parking lot full of witnesses, I have the feeling she would have yelled at me instead of cowering like most humans. The monotony of my existence didn't hold much promise of entertainment. I'd play her games for awhile. Games were fun to play and it'd been much too long since I'd come across a worthy opponent, especially a female one.
When I'd decided to come much sooner than required to take a soul, I hadn't been expecting to be intrigued by a mere girl. Although she was the soul I'd come to take, she wasn't what drew me here early. There was something else here or should I say someone else here who didn't belong. No, I wasn't here for the girl just yet, I came to see the soulless. It wasn't my job to follow the soulless but they were so rare. It had been over a hundred years since the last soulless walked the Earth. He was just a boy, which was expected. The soulless never lived long. They fulfilled their purpose by their creator and were then removed from life. Although he had no soul for me to hear I could still watch him undetected.
His eyes continued to scan the crowd of students. His purpose must be here. Patiently I waited until he found his prey. Almost as if he were the silly boy he portrayed, his attention was claimed by a girl. Ah, but not any girl. He was here for her, too. Her soul was marked, of course, and therefore mine to take. His purpose would be up sooner than expected. Whatever reason the soulless has for watching her will become pointless when I take her soul. Unfortunately, her time is up. Death is literally knocking on her door. Chuckling at my own humor, I silently rapped on the wooden door as I followed her into an empty classroom. Depending on what the soulless was after, I realized I might have to forgo playing her games and just take her soul as planned.
