Cover Reveal: Harrowed by Brian LeTendre and Jolene Haley + Giveaway
Today is a very special day.
Why?
Because today Brian LeTendre and I are revealing our cover for Harrowed!! Harrowed is a YA horror novel about a serial killer stalking a small town in Massachusetts, and a girl who is trying to solve the murders.
Everyone knows how much I love horror and I was beyond excited to start collaborating with Brian on a new series called the Woodsview Murders. Book one is Harrowed, out 9/22/15. Brian has done a fantastic job updating everyone on the progress and our crazy edit month that we affectionately dubbed “Editpalooza.” Me, let’s just pretend I’ve been updating everyone in my head.
It’s safe to say that our cover artist for Harrowed, Hang Le over at By Hang Le, really nailed it! Nailed it. I know that I may be a teensy bit biased here (okay, a lot biased) but I feel like for our book, this is the most perfect representative that could have ever happened. The cover is perfect. Amazing. Breathing taking!! Hang is a freaking genius.
About Harrowed
Journalism Rule #1: Always report the story. Never become the story.
Avery Blair has accepted the fact that nothing exciting ever happens in her small town of Woodsview, Massachusetts. As the editor of the high school blog, she prays for something—anything—to come along that would make for a great headline.
When Beatrice Thompson’s body is found in the girls’ bathroom, Avery has her biggest story ever. The rumors circulating the school say that Beatrice took her own life, but Avery doesn’t believe it for a second. Her instincts prove true when the next day brings another body bag.
The tiny community of Woodsview has become the hunting ground for a killer known as the Harvester. The killer targets Avery and her classmates, stalking their every move and terrorizing them with morbid messages.
With the help of her boyfriend Jason, her best friend Quinn, and an aging detective who can’t keep her off the case, Avery dives head-first into her own investigation. She discovers that the secret of the Woodsview Harvester is buried in the town’s history and its annual Harvest Festival celebration. With every clue she uncovers, Avery grows closer to unmasking the killer—and becoming the next victim.
Avery Blair has finally found a story to die for…if she can stay alive long enough to write it.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
