Monday Giveaway: Abandon

*** the contest is over and the winner is Small Review ***

In my new quest to rid Mondays of as much suck as possible, here's the second giveaway in which I offer up for grabs Abandon by Meg Cabot.

Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone ... because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.

But now she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.

Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away . . . especially since he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.

But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.

I read this in one sitting last week, when I should have been finishing my first draft of Sweet Venom 2 or processing my email or any number of other things, all of which I completely abandoned to consume Abandon. It is so very good. You know I love mythology, and this is mythology brought into the modern world in a wonderful story. This is the first in a trilogy and I am dying for the next installment.

To enter, simply comment on this post--if you want to say something specific, tell me which tale from Greek myth is your favorite. (Facebook and Goodreads readers please click over to Blogger.)

Hugs,
