Transcend Masquerade Blogfest! Secrets Revealed *Cover Reveal*

WOO HOO!!!! The day is here! The day celebrating the reveal of Christine Fonseca's Transcend, a YA psychological thriller hitting shelves on September 18, 2012. Here's a little blurb about the story:

All seventeen-year-old composer Ien Montgomery desires is an escape from his family's rigid expectations for his life; someone to inspire his music. When he meets a beautiful violin-prodigy, Kiera McDougal, his life music takes on new life. With her, he imagines a future outside of his parents’ control. That is, until a horrible accident tears them apart. Sent to die in a sanatorium, Ien’s obsession for Kiera grows unbearable. Tortured by thoughts he can’t escape and the truth of his monstrous disfigurement, he flees, desperate to exact revenge on the people that ruined his life – his parents. But, vengeance is empty. Betrayed by those closest to him, Ien discovers that the price for his happiness may be his sanity.

And now...what we've all been waiting for. The cover for Transcend:

Capture Blog Hop (and Giveaway)

Welcome to the Capture Blog Hop with Brina Courtney! 

Let me just say these covers are absolutely beautiful! The eyes really pull you in.... 

EXCERPT from Capture!

Emina somehow saves the day, “Huh, that’s pretty sweet.  You can shift as quickly as I can.”  I think that’s as close to a compliment that Emina’s ever given.  Lacey stands there smiling, hopefully no longer embarrassed about her gift.   To be honest, it’s pretty bad ass.  I mean, I wouldn’t want to go up against her.

I stand up to walk around her and admire her gift, “Why were you hiding this from us?  You look fierce!”

She shrugs, “It’s just that.  I look fierce.  Fierce doesn’t make friends.  And, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of lacking in that area.”

Hugh moves towards us, “Lacey, you don’t need to worry about that, you’ve got friends here."

Hugh walks away, stopping next to Craig before reaching the stairs, and looks at him.  “We need to start working on combat moves in the morning.  You think you can handle that?”

Craig looks ecstatic, “Handle that?  I am all over it.”

“Perfect.  Then I think we’ve done all we can for one night.  I’ll see you in the morning .  Be ready to train.  I believe the elf, Shraida.  They will come for us soon.  We’re going to war.”

I can feel the tension in the room rise.  Lacey looks solemn, but Emina and Craig look strong.  For some reason I feel like they’ve been expecting this their whole lives, maybe even preparing for it, since they were children.
