Book Blast: The Offering by Kimberly Derting
SYNOPSIS:
True love—and world war—is at stake in the conclusion to The Pledge trilogy, a dark and romantic blend of dystopia and fantasy. Charlie, otherwise known as Queen Charlaina of Ludania, has become comfortable as a leader and a ruler. She’s done admirable work to restore Ludania’s broken communications systems with other Queendoms, and she’s mastered the art of ignoring Sabara, the evil former queen whose Essence is alive within Charlie. Or so she thinks. When the negotiation of a peace agreement with the Queendom of Astonia goes awry, Charlie receives a brutal message that threatens Ludania, and it seems her only option is to sacrifice herself in exchange for Ludanian freedom. But things aren’t always as they seem. Charlie is walking into a trap—one set by Sabara, who is determined to reclaim the Queendoms at any cost.
Praise for The Offering:
"This was a truly epic ending to the series." --Crystal Perkins, Goodreads Review "The final book in Kimberly Derting’s Pledge trilogy is a thrilling conclusion. I was immediately swept up into it and powered right through. It was pretty much what I wanted with a few surprises along the way." --Krys at Bibliopunkk Reads

EXCERPT:
“What’s so funny?” he demanded.
“Nothing. It’s just that you’re not exactly the kind of guy a girl would just dig up for an
acceptable date to a family party.” Matt was more like dream-date material. She never would
have had the courage to ask him out had she run into him in any normal way.
“What does that mean?” To her surprise, he actually sounded offended. “I can be an acceptable
date.”
“What are you getting all grouchy about? I just meant you’re too good to be dug up from the
bottom of the heap.”
“Oh.” His expression relaxed. “That’s all right then.”
She couldn’t help but giggle again at his quickly changing emotions. He was definitely an artist.
“Now you’re all pleased with yourself again. I’ve never met a man with such pomposity.”
He slid his hand down her spine and kept it at the small of her back as he walked with her to the
front door. “What did you say I have?”
“Pomposity.”
“I’m not sure that’s really a word.”
“Of course it is. It’s the state of being pompous. Look it up. The dictionary will cross-list the
word with ‘Matthew Lynch’.”

Book Blast: The Crescent by Jordan Deen
Young Adult, Paranormal
190 pages; published January 14th, 2010
Becoming a werewolf is not an option for seventeen-year-old Lacey Quinn, but death can be a strong motivator.
Lacey is so focused on her future that everyday life has passed her by. Counting down the days to her eighteenth birthday, Lacey is almost home free. But when she falls for the mysterious Alex Morris, she lands in the middle of an ancient war between two enemy wolf packs. Tempting dreams, tantalizing lies and a dangerous love triangle ensues leaving Lacey heartbroken and confused.
Lacey's fate rests in the hands of Alex and Brandon, but both are pulling her strings for their own agendas. Even as she slips further into the dark world of werewolves, Lacey struggles to find the truth and save the only family she's ever known.
A cool breeze shook Mom’s rose bushes and the few hedges that surrounded one side of the patio. But when the wind stopped, the bushes didn’t. I froze staring into the darkness trying to see the threat that was waiting just to the side of my family home. I held my breath trying to decide whether or not to make a run for it. I couldn’t hesitate much longer. Rising slowly from the swing, I lingered again trying to judge the distance between the swings and the safety of the kitchen door.
Can I make it before it gets me? IT! Coming outside again tonight was a bad idea.

Bring on the snowy days!
