[FINISHED] Book Tour: Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr

Hello Filipino book bloggers!

We have a special treat for you all! Melissa Marr's new book has been published a few days ago in the US, and HarperCollins International has reached out to us for a book tour! Are you interested? Check the info below to find out how to participate in this tour.

Carnival of Souls by Melissa Marr
Publication Date: September 4th 2012
Published by: HarperCollins
Genre: YA, Paranormal

In a city of daimons, rigid class lines separate the powerful from the power-hungry. And at the heart of The City is the Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for sale. Once in a generation, the carnival hosts a deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite. Without the competition, Aya and Kaleb would both face bleak futures--if for different reasons. For each of them, fighting to the death is the only way to try to live.

All Mallory knows of The City is that her father--and every other witch there--fled it for a life in exile in the human world. Instead of a typical teenage life full of friends and maybe even a little romance, Mallory scans quiet streets for threats, hides herself away, and trains to be lethal. She knows it's only a matter of time until a daimon finds her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable. While Mallory possesses little knowledge of The City, every inhabitant of The City knows of her. There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls.

TOUR DETAILS:

The tour will run from October 5th to October 19th.

Fully Booked, our partner for this tour, will also be having a Twitter contest for a copy of Carnival of Souls.

Finished copy Tour: The Seven - The Key of Credence by Veronica Mist

Hi everyone! Precious here. :) I have an interesting book for y'all. It's written by a Filipina author. A week ago, I got a message from her and I was ecstatic to read her first book. I just finished reading this today and I would like to tell everyone: it's one of a kind. I could really see the scottish myth, anime monster likeness and filipino-ness mixed together in this novel. Let's support one of our own!

Title: The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton

Release Date: September 27th 2011
Published by: Tor Teen/ Macmillan
Source: Author (Thanks, Kiki!)

Summary:

The year is 1871, and Tiki has been making a home for herself and her family of orphans in a deserted hideaway adjoining Charing Cross Station in central London. Their only means of survival is by picking pockets. One December night, Tiki steals a ring, and sets off a chain of events that could lead to all-out war with the Fey. For the ring belongs to Queen Victoria, and it binds the rulers of England and the realm of Faerie to peace. With the ring missing, a rebel group of faeries hopes to break the treaty with dark magic and blood—Tiki’s blood.

Unbeknownst to Tiki, she is being watched—and protected—by Rieker, a fellow thief who suspects she is involved in the disappearance of the ring. Rieker has secrets of his own, and Tiki is not all that she appears to be. Her very existence haunts Prince Leopold, the Queen’s son, who is driven to know more about the mysterious mark that encircles her wrist.

Prince, pauper, and thief—all must work together to secure the treaty…

Summary:

The spell was simple...

Cruentus Protectum (Defend the Blood)

But what do you do if your blood is your enemy?

Victoria Warrick has always known she was different. An outcast at school, she is no stranger to adversity. But when she receives an old journal for her seventeenth birthday, nothing prepares her for the dark secrets it holds -- much less one that reveals she's a witch with unimaginable power.

What's more, when she meets the dazzling but enigmatic Christian Devereux, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. Enemies will hunt her. Friends will turn on her. The terrible curse that makes her blood run black will stop at nothing to control her. And Christian has a sinister secret of his own...

Without knowing whom to trust, can Victoria survive her blood's deadly desires? Or will she lose everything, including herself?

This tour is open for sign-ups until midnight of Sunday, October 15. There are 5-8 available spots for the tour. Remember to read our Rules and Regulations page and sign-up as a reviewer first before you can join this tour.

Finished copy tour: The Juliet Spell by Douglas Rees [CLOSED SIGN-UP]

Title: The Juliet Spell by Douglas Rees
Pages: 304
Release Date: September 27th 2011
Published by: Harlequin Teen
Source: Editor (Thanks, Tashya!)

Summary:

I’m Juliet.

At least, I wanted to be.

So I did something stupid to make it happen.

Well, stupid and wonderful.

I wanted the role of Juliet more than anything. I studied hard. I gave a great reading for it—even with Bobby checking me out the whole time. I deserved the part.

I didn’t get it. So I decided to level the playing field, though I actually might have leveled the whole play. You see, since there aren’t any Success in Getting to Be Juliet in Your High School Play spells, I thought I’d cast the next best—a Fame spell. Good idea, right?

Yeah. Instead of bringing me a little fame, it brought me someone a little famous. Shakespeare. Well, Edmund Shakespeare. William’s younger brother.

Good thing he’s sweet and enthusiastic about helping me with the play...and—ahem—maybe a little bit hot. But he’s from the past. Way past. Cars amaze him—cars! And cell phones? Ugh.

Still, there’s something about him that’s making my eyes go star-crossed....

Will Romeo steal her heart before time steals him away?

This tour is open for sign-ups until midnight of Saturday, September 10. There are 5-8 available spots for the tour. Remember to read our Rules and Regulations page and sign-up as a reviewer first before you can join this tour.
