I’d like to wish a Happy Release Day to fellow Steamed Lolita Leanna Renee Hieber – her YA debut Darker Still releases today.
Goodreads description:
The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Pride and Prejudice, with a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
New York City, 1882. Seventeen-year-old Natalie Stewart’s latest obsession is a painting of the handsome British Lord Denbury. Something in his striking blue eyes calls to her. As his incredibly life-like gaze seems to follow her, Natalie gets the uneasy feeling that details of the painting keep changing…
Jonathan Denbury’s soul is trapped in the gilded painting by dark magic while his possessed body commits unspeakable crimes in the city slums. He must lure Natalie into the painting, for only together can they reverse the curse and free his damaged soul.
I am very, very excited about this book and can’t wait to read this.
Normally, I’d have a review or a contest or something. But a) I haven’t read it yet. B) I have no pretty ARC to give you. C) I’ve been busy with my own edits/sequel and haven’t had the time to think of something clever.
Lame, I know.
However, I’m going run a contest anyway, because you must read this book. I adore Leanna and I know it’ll be just as good (or better) as her Percy Parker series.
So one lucky winner will get a copy–and Leanna will even sign it.
All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me how much you want to read it (or how you’ll read it) – be creative. This will not be random. I will pick the entry that makes me snort coffee out my nose the hardest, makes me cry, or go awww, or, well, you know.
Because the book will be shipped to the winner directly from Word this contest is US only (I am so sorry, you international readers rock.) Contest ends Sunday. November 13th, 11:59 PM, PST.
