And it gets to be something great! I get to talk about a book I want to read. YAY!
For my first To-Be-Read Tuesday, I've chosen a book that I can't wait till the release date.
From the first time I read the blurb and saw the cover, I knew this was something for me. It sounds great, and the cover is just creepy. I am a fan of creepy.
So, I would like to recommend DOLLHOUSE ASYLUM by Mary Gray--expected publication Oct. 8, 2013 by Spencer Hill Press.
I know, a whole year from now. But, I'll wait, impatiently.
See, it is a creepy cover!
And here's the blurb.
A virus that had once been contained has returned, and soon no place
will be left untouched by its destruction. But when
seventeen-year-old Cheyenne wakes up in Elysian Fields--a subdivision
cut off from the world and its monster-creating virus--she is thrilled
to have a chance at survival.
At first, Elysian Fields,with its beautiful houses and manicured lawns,
is perfect. Teo Richardson, the older man who stole Cheyenne's heart,
built it so they could be together. But when Teo tells Cheyenne there
are tests that she and seven other couples must pass to be worthy of
salvation, Cheyenne begins to question the perfection of his world.
The people they were before are gone. Cheyenne is now "Persephone," and
each couple has been re-named to reflect the most tragic romances ever
told. Everyone is fighting to pass the test, to remain in Elysian
Fields. Teo dresses them up, tells them when to move and how to act, and
in order to pass the test, they must play along.
If they play it right, then they'll be safe.
But if they play it wrong, they'll die.
What do you think? Does the blurb sound interesting to you?
Definitely a creepy cover...
ReplyDeleteDoes sound interesting.... Almost like the Stepford Wives .... scary.
Great choice, J! I've seen this one around, lately. Totally love this cover.
