's debut novel, WARPED, which is special to me for a number of reasons:
1) It's a really good book (okay, I may be biased, but my eyes don't lie!)
2) Maurissa is one of my critique partners (hence, being biased by knowing in advance how fabulous she is)
3) We are Elevensies together (Debut Sibs!)
4) WARPED is one of those stories that gets under your skin and makes you think and laugh and shudder and wonder and wish like a thread on a loom turning over and over, spinning in your mind, and it's woven into a tapestry of beautiful, fun and funny prose so its description is pretty appropriate:
Tessa doesn't believe in magic. Or Fate. But there's something weird about the dusty unicorn tapestry she discovers in a box of old books. She finds the creature woven within it compelling and frightening. After the tapestry comes into her possession, Tessa experiences dreams of the past and scenes from a brutal hunt that she herself participated in. When she accidentally pulls a thread from the tapestry, Tessa releases a terrible centuries old secret. She also meets William de Chaucy, an irresistible 16th-century nobleman. His fate is as inextricably tied to the tapestry as Tessa's own. Together, they must correct the wrongs of the past. But then the Fates step in, making a tangled mess of Tessa's life. Now everyone she loves will be destroyed unless Tessa does their bidding and defeats a cruel and crafty ancient enemy.
Now here's what *I* can say about WARPED:
This story breathes! Its plot threads come from myth and fate and magic and are expertly woven together into a picture of a young girl living life without her mom and a young man living life without his time. As they become twined together, it could tear everything else apart.
It would be a crime if this wasn't part of your 2011 reading (and, in the future, something on the silver screen)!
