Wolves & Roses

Hey guys!

Little bit of an unusual post from me today! I want to tell you guys about an awesome new book that's releasing this month and you might not have heard of! 

Wolves & Roses is the new young adult shifter fairy tale from best-selling author Christina Bauer! I read and loved her Angelbound series, it was so different, fun and original and I'm expecting much the same from this new book when it releases on the 31st of October! 

What's it about?! I hear you all cry, well.... 

Seventeen-year-old Bryar Rose has a problem. She’s descended from one of the three magical races—shifters, fairies, or witches. That makes her one of the Magicorum, and Magicorum always follow a fairy tale life template. In Bryar’s case, that template should be Sleeping Beauty.

“Should” being the key word.

Trouble is, Bryar is nowhere near the sleeping beauty life template. Not even close. She doesn’t like birds or woodland creatures. She can’t sing. And she certainly can’t stand Prince Philpot, the so-called “His Highness of Hedge Funds” that her aunties want her to marry. Even worse, Bryar’s having recurring dreams of a bad boy hottie and is obsessed with finding papyri from ancient Egypt. What’s up with that? 

All Bryar wants is to attend a regular high school with normal humans and forget all about shifters, fairies, witches, and the curse that Colonel Mallory the Magnificent placed on her. And she might be able to do just that--if only she can just keep her head down until her eighteenth birthday when the spell that’s ruined her life goes buh-bye.

But that plan gets turned upside down when Bryar Rose meets Knox, the bad boy who’s literally from her dreams. Knox is a powerful werewolf, and his presence in her life changes everything, and not just because he makes her knees turn into Jell-O. If Bryar can’t figure out who—or what—she really is, it might cost both her and Knox their lives… as well as jeopardize the very nature of magic itself.

How freaking awesome does it sound?! The Booklist has said it "Blends magical fantasy, swooning romance, and a bucketful of teenage ssass" and the School Library Journal reckons it's a "fun romp for Twilight fans". Now I don't like Twilight, so that does nothing for me buuuutt after reading Bauer's other books...I can believe the Booklist's take on her new read! I'm also kind assuming the Twilight reference is because werewolves! 

In honour of the release of the book, there's a bookstore tour where you can get your copy of Wolves & Roses signed by Christina, meet the characters from the novel, and take home a swag bag full of goodies....including a themed t-shirt! Everyone loves swag so I'm sure you'll all be jumping at the chance, but how cool does "meet the characters" sound?! Either way you don't want to miss the Wolves & Roses launch tour am I right!? 

Make sure you RSVP today and arrive early to the event (links below), as there's only a limited amount of swag bags given out on a first come first served basis to those who buy a new copy of Wolves & Roses! I'm actually devastated I can't go because it sounds like it's going to be a blast!
