As I’ve mentioned on at least one occasion, I’m super into terrible teen novels. Particularly if they’re about supernatural romance or rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of mental illness. So this book that I’m about to give away was really right up my alley.
Precious Blood, the first in a trilogy by Tonya Hurley, showed up in my mailbox about a week ago. I knew almost nothing about the book, except whatever I could glean from the publisher’s description:
What if martyrs and saints lived among us? And what if you were told you were one of them? Agnes, Cecilia, and Lucy are three lost girls—each with their own personal demons. These girls meet one night when they all end up in the same hospital…and each wake up with a token from a boy they’ve only just met. Sebastian is gorgeous, mysterious, and has a plan for all of them. As each girl gets wrapped up in finding out just who Sebastian is, they each discover their own strengths, and realize the only way to save themselves is to save each other.
What I got was a mix of a lot of things. Drama! Cultural critique! Deeply symbolic yet wholly unrealistic dialogue! A sexy boy! Intrigue! Everything I look for in my summer reading, naturally.
If you share my strange addiction, I’ve got good news. That Girl Magazine is giving away two copies of Precious Blood to you lovely readers! All you have to do is like That Girl Magazine on facebook, tweet about the giveaway, or leave me a blog comment recommending another terrible-yet-great teen read for me to hide inside the jacket of Gödel, Escher, Bach
(What I’m really excited about is having two new people to talk about Precious Blood with. #ulteriormotive)
P.S. While you’re here, check out the series’s website. If you go to “Extras”, you can erase your sins in an InSINerator. I could not make this up if I tried. It plays some pretty chill music too.
The post giveaway: precious blood appeared first on that girl magazine.
