Someone’s been a very bad zombie.

Super-smartie Kate Grable gets to play doctor, helping out her high school football team. Not only will the experience look good on her college apps, she gets to bethis close to her quarterback crush, Aaron. Then something disturbing happens. Kate finds out that the coach has given the team steroids. Except . . . the vials she finds don’t exactly contain steroids. Whatever’s in them is turning hot gridiron hunks into mindless, flesh-eating . . . zombies.

Unless she finds an antidote, no one is safe. Not Aaron, not Kate’s brother, not her best friend . . . not even Kate . . .

It’s scary. It’s twisted. It’s sick. It’s high school.

Carrie is so fun, so funny, and super-duper awesome. I am thrilled that her book is (FINALLY!!!) on the shelves. Also, she has probably the most fun website ever. For reals.

The conclusion to #1 bestselling Shiver trilogy. In Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. In Linger, they fought to be together. Now, in Forever, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. And love is harder and harder to hold on to as death comes closing in.

 

 

 

 

I loved Shiver and Linger and I can’t wait to see how Maggie finishes this series up!

What books are you looking forward to reading in the coming weeks?

(clicky clicky on the covers to learn more about the books.)

For today’s two for Tuesday, I have an announcement about 2 pretty amazing contests. Either would be awesome to win, so go sign up!

1. Kick-off contest

One lucky winner will win a dozen (that’s right – 12!) YA books. There are hardcovers and ARCs, spanning all genres. The contest ends Friday, so be sure to enter right away.

2. LINGER and MATCHED ARC giveaway

Two of the most anticipated YA books of the year – how exciting?! Linger, of course, is the sequel to Shiver (which is just fabulous – read it if you haven’t). Matched is the big publisher debut from Ally Condie, who has published many titles with smaller publishers. Matched has been drawing quite a lot of attention since Penguin dropped 7 figures on it at auction. People are calling it “the dystopic Twilight“.

This contest ends June 16th, so hurry your way over to sign up.

I was already excited to read Linger, the much, MUCH anticipated sequel to Shiver, but holy cow! Maggie’s awesome stop-motion trailer makes me want to read it even more! Is it July 20th yet?

After you watch the trailer, head on over to Maggie’s blog, where she has a four-part “Making Of” series that shows how much work went in to this video. Isn’t she insanely talented?
