YA supernatural readers – eat your heart out! Last week this lucky book blogger got to meet five fabulous authors at BookPeople’s Dark Days of Supernatural Tour. Seriously guys, it was like Christmas in June! Each of these dark and lovely ladies gave their fans a sneak peak into their new books, enticing me to break the bank and buy all five of their novels. But alas, I was able to harness enough self-control to buy just one book. Since I’m a sucker for gothic romances, I was torn between Amy Plum’s Die for Me and Tara Hudson’s Hereafter. But After hearing about the love saga between an orphaned teen and a mysterious Parisian bad boy, I had to choose Die for Me! How can you go wrong with a hot paranormal romance in Paris?
Check out this awesome lineup of authors!
Ellen Schreiber (CRYPTIC CRAVINGS)
From Goodreads: The morbidly monotonous Dullsville has finally become the most exciting place on earth now that Raven is madly in love with her hot vampire boyfriend Alexander, and a crew of vampires has taken residence in Dullsville’s old mill. Raven discovers Jagger’s plan to open a new club, The Crypt, right here in Dullsville. But is it her dream come true, or her worst nightmare? Raven and Alexander have to figure out what the nefarious vampire has in store for Dullsville’s teen and vampire population. Can Raven convince Jagger to listen to her plans to make the Crypt the morbidly magnificent dance club it could be? Will it be safe for mortals and vampires alike?
Aprilynne Pike (ILLUSIONS)
From Goodreads: Laurel hasn’t seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice.
But just as life is returning to normal, Laurel discovers that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail
Veronica Roth (DIVERGENT)
From Goodreads: In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
Tara Hudson (HEREAFTER)
From Goodreads: Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she’s dead. With no recollection of her past life—or her actual death—she’s trapped alone in a nightmarish existence. All of this changes when she tries to rescue a boy, Joshua, from drowning in her river. As a ghost, she can do nothing but will him to live. Yet in an unforgettable moment of connection, she helps him survive.
Amy Plum (DIE FOR ME)
From Goodreads: In the City of Lights, two star-crossed lovers battle a fate that is destined to tear them apart again and again for eternity. When Kate Mercier’s parents die in a tragic car accident, she leaves her life–and memories–behind to live with her grandparents in Paris. For Kate, the only way to survive her pain is escaping into the world of books and Parisian art. Until she meets Vincent. Mysterious, charming, and devastatingly handsome, Vincent threatens to melt the ice around Kate’s guarded heart with just his smile. As she begins to fall in love with Vincent, Kate discovers that he’s a revenant–an undead being whose fate forces him to sacrifice himself over and over again to save the lives of others.
If you could only pick one, which would you choose?
Sounds like you had a fab time and I hope you get to enjoy them all!
I had a blast! My goal is to read all five of their books before the summer’s over!
