This Week's Pick: Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins

Publisher: Putnam Juvenile

Release Date: April 8th 2014

Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.

Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him--and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.

With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.

I just...can I have this book? I mean, can it be April so I can have this in my hands and read it and love it and hug it? Rebel Belle is definitely up there with my most anticipated reads of 2014! I mean, have you read that summary? And that cover! It's also a Rachel Hawkins book which guarantees it's going to be witty and awesome. I can already tell that Harper is going to be one loveable protagonist, and I simply cannot wait to meet her. I am just SO EXCITED for Rebel Belle!

What are you waiting on this week?

All Covered Up: School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins

Hey all!

Rachel Hawkins' released the cover for her Hex Hall spin-off series School Spirits! Here it is:

Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy’s older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Izzy and her mom move to a new town, but they soon discover it’s not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to prove her worth and investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. For a tough girl who's always been on her own, it’s strange to suddenly make friends and maybe even have a crush.

Can Izzy trust her new friends to help find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt?

Rachel Hawkins' delightful spin-off brings the same wit and charm as the New York Times best-selling Hex Hall series. Get ready for more magic, mystery and romance!

I absolutley love this cover! It's obviously similar to the Hex Hall series but it has its own spin and distinct feel. I think it's perfect and I'm so so excited to finally get to read it! What do you guys think?

School Spirits is out May 14th, 2013 from Disney-Hyperion!
