Hi everyone! I’ll start this week with a cover
reveal of a very intriguing and loved book. I say ‘loved’ because it has been
self-published and read before. PJ Hoover’s Solstice is being published by Tor
Teen in 2013.
Ze cover:
“Solstice is one red-hot read—it intrigues,
sizzles, and satisfies.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York
Times bestselling author

Piper's
world is dying. Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that
threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives
under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the
weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is
called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for
freedom.
Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.
An imaginative melding of mythology and dystopia, Solstice is the first YA novel by talented newcomer P. J. Hoover.

My
reaction to the cover:
OMGOMGOMG. So colorful and gorgeous!
I like the way the title isn’t straight – it’s sort of wavy and hazy, adding a
sense of mystery. The amount of detail involved – from the colors, to the
domed city, to the glows of light adds up in my head and forms one word:
perfect. So freaking excited to see this on the actual book!
About
the Author:
P.
J. Hoover first fell in love with Greek
mythology in sixth grade thanks to the book Mythology by Edith
Hamilton. After a fifteen year bout as an electrical engineer designing
computer chips for a living, P. J. decided to take her own stab at mythology
and started writing books for kids and teens. When not writing, P. J. spends
time with her husband and two kids and enjoys practicing kung fu, solving
Rubik's cubes, and watching Star Trek.
What

ReplyDeleteI love the cover but I wish the font is different or maybe not very much distorted. The shield on the city reminds me of Under the Dome by Stephen King though I haven't read it :P
