Title: Black City

Author: Elizabeth Richards
Publisher: G. P. Putnam's Sons
Release date: November 13, 2012

A dark and tender post-apocalyptic love story set in the aftermath of a bloody war.

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught, they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong.

When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths.

Cover Reveal: Phoenix by Elizabeth Richards

Yay, here we are! All week has led up to this very moment! This week has definitely been very busy and yesterday was especially busy not just here on the blog but all over twitter; there were cover reveals happening and epic book deals occurring that I almost--almost--couldn't wrap my head around all of it. And in the midst of all the tweets flooding my timeline, Damaris, who has just been a doll this whole week, sent me an email with the cover. When I saw the cover, I nearly lost my mind. For freakin' reals. I mean, you guys know how amazing the cover is for Black City, so just imagine--take a second to really picture how the cover for Phoenix looks. It's striking and sophisticated and stunning and just...oh my! But before I show you guys the cover, let's do a re-cap of all things Phoenix this week, shall we?

• Teaser Tuesday: Featuring a super-duper sweet quote from Ash.
• Waiting on Wednesday: Read the blurb for Phoenix.
• Character Spotlight: Introducing Elijah Theroux

Now, the moment you've all been patiently waiting for!

Phoenix Character Casting: Elijah

This whole week is about Elizabeth Richards! On Tuesday, there was a mighty exciting teaser I shared, so if you haven't checked it out yet, you can totally read it here. And just yesterday, the blurb to Phoenix was revealed and umm, yeah you should totally go see what's about to go down in book two to Black City! It seems that in Phoenix, there's a new guy that will be introduced and his name is Elijah. I'm a bit...what's the word... standoffish because you know, a new guy means a possible love triangle and I don't want my heart to be torn, lmao! Unless it's in the best way possible! Anyway, let's check out this guy, shall we?

Waiting on Wednesday (19): Phoenix

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
