There it is!!! This is a MUST HAVE, MUST READ for me! I love Black City (You can read my review - HERE) and cannot WAIT to get my hands on PHOENIX!
Title: Phoenix (A Black City Novel, Book #2)
Released: June 2013
Publisher: G.P Putnam’s Sons
Synopsis
Released: June 2013
Publisher: G.P Putnam’s Sons
Synopsis
The much anticipated second book in the enthralling Black City series._____________________________________________________________
Engaged to be married, Ash and Natalie are just starting to build a life together, when things in the United Sentry States go from bad to worse. Ash and Natalie find themselves at the center of the turmoil when dictator Purian Rose threatens Natalie’s life unless Ash votes in favor of Rose’s law—a law that will send Darklings and other dissenters to a deadly concentration camp known as the Tenth.
Ash can’t bring himself to trade Natalie’s life for those of millions of Darklings. The only way to save everyone is to escape Black City and find the Ora, a powerful weapon that could take down Purian Rose for good. But fleeing the city and finding this weapon is easier said than done, if it even exists, and becomes a quest that could tear Ash and Natalie apart, even pushing them into the arms of others.
Fast-paced and absorbing, Phoenix is a delicious, steamy can’t-put-down read.
PHOENIX – exclusive excerpt
A new tune begins, led by the drums. The music thrums, filling the night sky with its animalistic beat. Nearby Giselle spins and swirls in time to the rhythm, her orange dress and hair fanning around her, until she looks like the flames of the bonfire. She catches my eye, and a smirk plays across her lips. She provocatively beckons me toward her. I glance at Natalie and Elijah, and my fangs throb with jealousy.
Two can play this game.
I walk over to Giselle and take her in my arms, dancing with her to the exotic music, our bodies swaying in unison. I cup a hand around her waist, pulling her hard against me. She lets out a small gasp, her silvery eyes sparkling mischievously.
Natalie frowns, her eyes fixed on me as Elijah twirls her around in circles.
The music deepens into something slower, more sensual. Giselle’s fingers lace through my hair, causing a sensory overload as she grinds against me. I haven’t been touched like this in ages, and it feels so good. Her lips are just centimeters from mine. All it will take is one misstep and we’ll kiss. Giselle’s cheeks flush, her eyes dilate. I’ve seen the same reaction from Hazers after a hit. Lust. Fragg it feels good to be wanted.
My hand runs down her back, toward the curve at the end of her spine, but all the time my focus is fixated on Natalie. Anger flitters across her face, and she wraps her arms around Elijah’s neck. He moans, pulling her closer to him, and my heart cramps.

This cover is stunning! Simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOMG *A* Thanks for hosting such an awesome giveaway !
ReplyDelete** AND THE COVER OMFG... I honestly couldn't say whether I liked this one or Black City's better, they're both so pretty *A*
ReplyDeleteThe cover is absolutely stunning, a definite book statement!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
The cover looks AWESOME!!! =)
ReplyDeleteThe cover is amazing. So different from anything I've ever seen. I adore feathers. And the feather burning looks cool.
ReplyDeleteThis cover is breathtaking! I love the red feather with the orange and yellow of the flame. It goes well with the first book cover too! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cover!! But I am concerned about all this spoilery stuff being released before most people have even had a chance to read book one. Seems like a bit of an error on the part of marketing...
ReplyDeleteOMG! Gorgeous cover, congratulations to Elizabeth on such a wonderful cover! Can't wait, and thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing cover! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's astounding! I love that it makes such a statement without having to show a character, like many YA covers resort to.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is fantastic! The covers in this series have been some of my favorites lately!
ReplyDeleteI really like the flaming feather, I think I might like it more than the shattered rose on Black City's cover! I really like that they are keeping with the city skyline in the background. Very pretty :0)
ReplyDeleteHm... I like the burning feather effect, but I don't care much for the sepia-like brown color of the background/the majority of the color. It's one of those colors I don't care for, I guess.
ReplyDelete*JAW DROP* That cover is on FIRE!!!! It is completely different from ur usual YA books and I LOVE IT for that. It goes really well with the title of the book too and the orange background compliments the red feather. AWESOME cover, can NOT wait until 2013!!! =D
ReplyDeleteWHAT. The. Fuck. That excerpt is killing me! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh. Thanks this week girls :) totes worth it that cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover and I love the burning feather!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first one but I've been dying too! This cover is gorgeous! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the overall look of it, though I don't really like the colors. It stands out compared to other covers that have been coming out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love it!
ReplyDeleteTotally ridiculous - why on earth are they talking about book 2 already when Black City hasn't even been released yet? And a blurb reveal, already? Can anyone spell S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S?
ReplyDeleteSurely the publishers should have waited for the release of Black City and the chance for us who haven't been able to read preview copies of it fall in love with it and then hit us with the 2nd book?
I've no doubt it's going to be magnificent but it saddens me that this author's debut book won't be getting 100% of the publisher's marketing & focus (which it deserves) and she won't get to relax and enjoy the release of her first book without Phoenix kicking her up the rear, impatient for it's turn in the spotlight.
That said, I will of course be reading both of them!
The cover is AMAZING!!! It'll definitely look good sitting next to Black City on a bookshelf! :P
ReplyDeleteI like the image of the feather, but the reflection of it is kind of weird. I think it would be better with the reflection of the city skyline in the water, rather than the misplaced and unnecessary reflection of the feather.
ReplyDeleteThe red feathers themselves are cool and really hammer in the idea of a phoenix.
Honestly I like it more than the first cover. I think the feather is interesting, because it can represent more than one thing, and it's nice that the skyline is there again (for some consistency). The color scheme is pretty great too; kind of smoky and orange.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Loved Black City and I am excited for the second installment. The feather is a little predicatable but very pretty!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous cover! The burning is such an amazing image out front and makes me want to know more :)
ReplyDeleteI love how the flames engulf the feather. Let's you know the title without words :). Thank you.
