Iron King Giveaway!
In less than twenty-four hours Meghan Chase will be sixteen. Countless stories, songs and poems have been written about this wonderful age, when a girl finds true love and the stars shine for her and the handsome prince carries her off into the sunset. But Meghan suspects that it won’t be that way for her. After all, Meghan has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined…. Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan’s life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school…or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she’s known is about to change. But she could never have guessed … Read entire article »

Giveaway & Interview with Maggie Stiefvater
Happy Friday everyone Today, I am so excited to have Maggie Stiefvater visit the blog! Linger, the second book in her Wolves of Mercury Falls trilogy was just released last week…and debuted at number one on the NYT Bestseller List!!! Woot, congrats Maggie! Ok, enough exclamation marks, I hope you enjoy Hi Maggie, thanks so much for stopping by! Thanks for having me! In Linger, I love the contrast between Sam, the romantic, and broken Cole. Who is your favorite to write? Oh, I don’t know if I can choose. They’re both lovely, broken things and authors lovelovely, broken things, because then you can fix them . . . or not. Both of them (like all my characters) have tiny bits of me put in them to make them run, so … Read entire article »

Review: Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
In Maggie Stiefvater’s Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past…and figuring out a way to survive in the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves…and is nonetheless drawn to Cole. At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love-the light and the dark, the warm and the cold-in a way you will never forget. Publisher: Scholastic Released: July 13, 2010 My Rating : 4 / … Read entire article »

Review: Tension of Opposites by Kristina McBride
It’s been two years since Noelle disappeared. Two years since her bike was discovered, sprawled on a sidewalk. Two years of silence, of worry, of fear. For those two long years, her best friend Tessa has waited, living her own life in a state of suspended animation. Because how can she allow herself to enjoy a normal high school life if Noelle can’t? How dare she have other friends, go to dances, date boys, without knowing what happened to the girl she thought she would share everything with? And then one day, someone calls Noelle’s house. She’s alive. A haunting psychological thriller taken straight from the headlines, The Tension of Opposites is a striking debut that explores the emotional aftermath of a kidnapping on the victim, and on the people … Read entire article »
