Velveteen
(Velveteen #1)
(Velveteen #1)
Daniel Marks
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.
This cover is delicious (black and white with a splash of hot pink - always a winner) and the synopsis sounds wonderfully dark and certainly unique. I'm hoping the fact that this is YA won't hold it back from being as gritty as I'm expecting it to be.
What is YOUR WoW pick?
Love your pick! This book is definitely on my TBR :-) I love the cover too!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of this one before. May have look more into it.

ReplyDeleteThere has been a lot of talk about this book. The synopsis sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteMy Wow
Love the cover of this but I'm not sure about the blurb - it's a marmite siituation. Think I'm going to wait until I see a few more reviews before deciding whether to read it or not!
ReplyDeleteComaCalm's WoW
I like the look of this- sounds like a vengeful Lovely Bones!

Love your pick! It's on Netgalley now but it still hasn't been responded to.
ReplyDeleteDrop by my WoW! :D
I love this pick. I have been reading less YA paranormal, since many were the same thing as another, but this sounds unique. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW...
This type of book is normally not "my" type, but I just had to add it to my Goodreads list because it's unlike any other book I've heard of. The synopsis and chilling, mysterious, and creepy and I really want to know what happens. Great choice!!

I gave a copy of this book away last month! So excited about it, even though at the same time I'm a little wary about the revenge/redemption tropes. *sigh*

Oh my! This one sounds a bit disturbing! I love to read a blurb and found out that the book could blow my mind! I'll put this one on my TBR pile for sure! The cover is pretty too and the girl reminded me of the corpse bride by Tim Burton!

October seems so far away for it =( Great pick!
ReplyDeleteHere is mine WoW
i love the cover for this one, it sounds so good.
ReplyDeleteHeck. YEAH. That pop of pink (or any color) against black and white DOES THINGS TO ME. Like you mentioned. I just can't get over this book. I HAVE this book and I'm still not over it. I probably won't be even after I've read it, but, BOY, THAT COVER sure has gone a LOOOONG way with me.
ReplyDeleteI just got this approval on NetGalley, I'm so excited ! I want to have the "real" thing though.
