Beautiful Creatures

December 1st, 2009

It was love at first sight. Great book covers have that effect on me. Join me in reading BEAUTIFUL CREATURES, this week’s Book in Bloom. Congrats to authors Kami Garcia (@kamigarcia on Twitter) and Margaret Stohl for the book’s sale to Warner Bros. Read it now before it’s made into a movie.

There were no surprises in Gatlin County.

We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.

At least, that’s what I thought.

Turns out, I couldn’t have been more wrong.

There was a curse.

There was a girl.

And in the end, there was a grave.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she’s struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town’s oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Get BEAUTIFUL here, watch the trailer and read an exclusive interview with the authors.

Savor Me Slowly

Savor Me Slowly, Gena Showalter

First line: “Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The disturbing clatter whined inside Jaxon Tremain’s mind, playing without permission or welcome.”

Superstar Showalter is clearly in her element writing tough-as-nails heroines and sexy, bad-boy heroes as proved in this Alien Huntress book following half human, half machine Mishka Le’Ace doing her damndest to not let Jaxon turn her heart into scrap metal. Bionic love at its best.
