It's Tellulah's virtual book bash and you're invited!
Come to: http://tellulahdarling. com/tellulah-darling-live/ on Sunday, Mar 23 between 10-11AM PST and help Tellulah celebrate the release of My Life From Hell. She'll be live on video, doing a reading, answering your text Q&A, and just chatting. So come on over, ask a question, discuss the pros and cons of swoony boys, or just say hi! She'd love to have you there to help mark the end of Sophie's journey. Better yet, she's the only one who has to get dressed for the event. :D
Alleyway SPLAT: I read the first two books in this series and absolutely LUV-D them! Honestly, if you're up for an upper YA read boiling over with humor, snark, and a pitch fork full of mythological fun, then read this!
Genre: YA Fantasy/Mythology
Book Description:
To say that
Sophie Bloom is at the top of her game with one only week until spring equinox
and the final showdown with Zeus and Hades would be, well, lying. The Goddess
of Spring feels more like the Goddess of Bzz Thanks For Playing than the savior
of humanity. And could her relationships be any more messed up?
Good times.
Good times.
Sophie is
convinced that things can’t get any worse than crawling back to her mother
Demeter and begging for help. But she’s about to find out how very wrong she
is.
It’s a race
against time for Sophie to implement the big battle strategy in the YA romantic
comedy/Greek mythology finale My Life From Hell. Love meets comedy with a whole
lot of sass in book three of this teen fantasy romance series. Save herself;
save the world. Humanity may be screwed.
Excerpt
In the center of the patio, a dark
wood table had been laid out, laden with yumtastic Greek tapas like pita
wedges, pink creamy taramasalata, triangles of spanakopita, and a heart attack
heaven of saganaki–fried cheese.
Zeus and Hades sat there munching in
silence. Not even the tense “One wrong move and there’s gonna be a hurting”
silence you would have expected from two powerful foes who despised each other.
Nah. More like “Eh, it’s family and family is gonna push your buttons, but
we’re here now, so let’s eat.”
I took a moment to scope them out
before I approached.
Most gods on Earth tended not to
appear much taller than six feet. To blend in. But not these two. From the way
they both dwarfed their chairs, I could tell they hit seven feet easy. Guess
neither could stand to appear too human.
They looked ridiculous. Not just
because of their height either. Hades had decided to wear pleated khakis, a
plaid button-down shirt and a cardigan. Which sounded very golf dad but came
off as bad-touch relative wrong when combined with his bloated alcoholic looks,
and all around messed up energy. He wasn’t giving off his usual charming, yet
evil, vibes.
Pops, on the other hand, was his
regular metrosexual self, all baby smooth skin and buffed mani. While I’d only
seen him in linen suits and a fedora, his current outfit could have been taken
off one of the club goers I’d just been with. No girl should ever see her
father in a suit that skinny, shiny, or tight. Scouring that image from my
memory banks might require therapy.
I slid into an empty chair between
the two of them, glancing around to see if maybe Kai was here. “What’s with the
family reunion?” I asked. I could smell dad’s citrus cologne, and knew better
than to sniff for whatever brimstone Hades wore.
My father handed me a plate and
motioned for me to load up. Ordinarily, I would have been happy to, but I was
sulky that my dance-fueled peace had dissipated, and I didn’t feel like
breaking bread with two people who wanted me dead.
I set the plate down.
My father shot me a puzzled look.
“Are you not feeling well? I know how much you like to eat.”
Now I was definitely not eating.
Which was a shame because I’d started to waver about the saganaki. “Such a
charmer, Pops. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we?”
“We thought we’d treat you to a last
supper,” Hades laughed. “Since you’ll be dead soon.”

Wahoo! I've already added the first two to THE LIST, but I seriously need to get to them. SO much fun!
ReplyDeleteI know how hard it is to get to these reads. I'm so frustrated with my TBR mountain. I need another me just to read!
