Let's move on to the exciting part, okay?
I'm very excited to be hosting:
Lissa Price
Lissa Price’s debut novel STARTERS is an international bestseller published in over thirty countries. Dean Koontz called this YA futuristic thriller “a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story.” STARTERS appeared on many best of lists and won top awards in the Netherlands, Germany and France. Kirkus called the sequel, ENDERS, “delightfully disturbing.” Lissa lives in Southern Calif with deer and coyotes for neighbors.If you want to find out more about Lissa and her books, check out her website!
The book she's promoting is ENDERS!
The thrilling end to the questions raised in Starters is here. Someone is after Starters like Callie and Michael—teens with chips in their brains. They want to experiment on anyone left over from Prime Destinations—Starters who can be controlled and manipulated. With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get inside her mind and make her do things she doesn’t want to do, like hurt someone she loves. Having the chip removed could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father. Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena’s memories, too . . . and the Old Man is back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body? No one is ever who they appear to be. Determined to find the Old Man to stop him, and grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her younger brother, Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her.
I LOVED this book! A great ending to a great series!!!
And now it's time for Lissa's exclusive content, A LETTER FROM MICHAEL:
Dear Callie,
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this letter. I suspect I’ll never have the courage to give it to you. So, if you’re reading it now, it means I’m probably gone.
I’m not trying to be melodramatic, but you know, when’s the last time we could count on anything? I tried to show that in my drawings, but no one can ever really capture the desperate feeling of being homeless… with no parents... Just like I could never quite capture you.
There’s so much inside me, it feels like I’ll burst. But when you were here, I just couldn’t say it to your face. So cowardly me is going to resort to telling you on paper, that you’ll only read if I’m dead.
I’m such a jerk. But whatever happens, I’d hate for you not to know the truth. I’d hate for you to think that it was Florina when all along, it was always you. Ever since we were kids, I noticed you… the way you slung your book bag over one shoulder when you walked to school. I was always a block away, too shy – no, too stupid to ever walk beside you. Too scared maybe. I remember how your hair would fall to one side, dipping over your left eye. And the way you looked down when you were deep in thought and all I could see was eyelashes.
Your long lashes.
I think I know you better than anyone else could. I know things about you that you don’t even know I know. Things Tyler has told me. Don’t blame him, I sort of coaxed it out of him. I did it because I care. And so much of our time was just about surviving – where we were going to scrounge the next meal, get the buckets of water, find shelter for the night.
What I’m trying to say – and even writing it, this isn’t easy – is that I love you, Callie. I always have.
Love,Michael
Love it! I could read it at least 5 more times! If you want to buy ENDERS (you really should!), here's a link!
