Giveaway of Rise by Andrea Cremer

Photobucket




Publisher's summary: Everything Conatus stands for is at risk. Hoping to gather enough resistance to save their order, Ember and Barrow attempt a desperate escape. But fate offers little mercy. When their mission is exposed, the couple face relentless pursuit by the supernatural horrors that act on the commands of Eira’s ally: the mysterious Bosque Mar. A shocking revelation forces Ember out of hiding, sending her back into the heart of dark magic at Tearmunn keep, where she must convince her old friend Alistair of her love or face dire consequences. Ember’s deception offers the only chance for the resistance to succeed, but what she discovers in the shadows beneath the keep will shatter her world and bring about the Witches’ War.

Richly sensual and full of magic, action and danger, Andrea Cremer's fifth book set in the Nightshade world is an edge-of-your-seat page turner.


I'm disappointing with myself that I haven't read Rise yet! So I want to give someone a chance to win it! This is a QUICK giveaway because the release is Tuesday. Open International shipping and will be ordered through Amazon or Book Depository.

About the book!


Publisher's summary: It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.

Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.

Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at first. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?

Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure—and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

Talon Interviews Aria

Talon: Hi Aria.

Aria: Hi, Talon.

Talon: My first question is how come you have such white teeth. And straight.

Aria: Good question, Talon. Well, my teeth are straight and white because where I come from we have advanced medicine. Everything from our genetics, to our diet is maximized to make us healthy, and I guess attractive? Anyway... my teeth are that way because I come from Reverie. Everyone in Reverie has straight white teeth.

Talon: That's what I thought. My second question is why do you like my uncle Perry?

Aria: Oh. Wow. Well, I like him because he has a good heart. The best heart. I'm always happy when I'm with him. I always feel safe and like I am exactly where I should be when I'm with him. And he's so... he's so.... I don't know how to say this. I really like the way he looks. A lot. You'll understand when you're older.

Talon: I understand. I like the way he looks.

Aria: The way I mean it is a little different.

Talon: How?

Aria: Umm.... Do you have any other questions?

Talon: Oh, yeah. My last question is do you like where you lived better or where I live better?

Aria: You're a tough interview, Talon.

Talon: Thank you.

Aria: You're welcome. There's a lot that I like about Reverie. It's very easy to live there. We had everything we needed. No one was ever hurt, or went hungry. I spent most of my days either in school or just being with my friends. But the thing is that I didn't appreciate what I had until I lost it. And now that I've seen how you and your uncle live, I see that, in a strange way, getting a bruise or a scrape, or being hungry for a little while, actually makes life more interesting. It makes life richer when you're feeling all the ups and downs.

Talon: Thanks. That was a really long answer.

Aria: You're welcome, Tal.
