It's release day for Demitria Lunetta's new novel, BAD BLOOD!
I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy of this book. The wonderful Scottish setting and characters transported me to another place (and time - thanks to some well-placed flashbacks). There was just the right amount of magic and creepy mysteries to keep the pages turning, but not so much that I was afraid to turn my lights off at night. Best of all there was just a bit of romance, which was so very well done and something I always enjoy. All in all it's a great read and one I highly recommend. So trust me, you definitely want a copy. And as luck would have it, I am giving away a copy.
On a more personal note, Demitria is also a close friend of mine. Last year we were even co-mentors for PitchWars. If you have't yet heard of her amazing new book it's because she hasn't been able to do a lot of promo as she's been busy kicking cancer's ass since last November. Demitria has also been amazingly brave and honest about her whole journey so far and you can read more about it on her blog in a brilliant post title: "My Cancer Diagnosis: How My Left Breast Is Trying To Kill Me"
All sixteen-year-old Heather MacNair wants is to feel normal, to shed the intense paranoia she’s worn all year like a scratchy sweater. After her compulsion to self-harm came to light, Heather was kept under her doctor’s watchful eye. Her family thinks she’s better—and there’s nothing she wants more than for that to be true. She still can’t believe she’s allowed to spend her summer vacation as she always does: at her aunt’s home in Scotland, where she has lots of happy memories. Far away from all her problems save one: she can’t stop carving the Celtic knot that haunts her dreams into her skin.
Good friends and boys with Scottish accents can cure almost anything…except nightmares. Heather can’t stop dreaming about two sisters from centuries ago, twins Prudence and Primrose, who somehow seem tied to her own life. Their presence lurks just beneath the surface of her consciousness, sending ripples through what should be a peaceful summer. The twins might hold the key to putting Heather’s soul at rest…or they could slice her future deeper than any knife.
A girl discovers a family secret and a past full of magic that could both save her and put her in mortal danger in this suspenseful novel that’s perfect for fans of Katie Alender and Natasha Preston.
