Series: Velveteen #1
Release Date: October 9, 2012
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.
The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.
Bonesaw.
Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.
But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.
Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.
I've been subscribed to Danny on Youtube for a long, long time now and I have been looking forward to reading this ever since I first heard him talk about it. This is his YA debut, so it'll count towards the DAC and it sounds AWESOME. Does anyone else think so? I'm really excited for this, and I'm so glad that the cover was finally revealed so I can feature it here!
This book look like it will be fun ,,, I will make sure to read it when it is released :)

DeleteThis one sounds very interesting. The name of Bonesaw is chilling ... not sure if I want to know how he got the name, you know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteMy WoW
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I thought the same thing while reading the blurb! Gah. It sounds amazing though, so I'll just have to give him a cutesy nickname.
DeleteThis one looks SO good! Super excited to read it, too!!!
