- the new title of my book, CONTROL
- ...which found itself onto a book blog, Head Stuck In A Book. Cool.
- And it's now on a Brazilian social network for book lovers, SKOOB. Excelente!
So I picked the top four most-requested giveaway items. Here they are!
**A first 5 pages or query critique**
**A $15 Amazon gift card**
**Your choice of one of the following books:**
AAAAND...**an ARC of Elizabeth Richard's fall debut, BLACK CITY!**
(which is excellent, btw!)
(which is excellent, btw!)
A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war. In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable--they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash's long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they're caught, they'll be executed--but their feelings are too strong. When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.

Thanks for the fantastic giveaway and congrats on the title! I just read the plot-line for Control and it sounds extremely intriguing; I've always been a fan of dystopians :D, I'm absolutely DYING to read Black City, but if this giveaway isn't international (fingers crossed that it is!) could you please remove my entries (and sorry for the bother if you had to do that)? Thanks!

LOVE the blog design, it's so cute and clean yet simple. *googles your book* Ooh, Control is your book? AWESOME. I found that on Goodreads a few weeks ago and it sounds fab! Congrats on your book, can't wait for 2013!
