Happy Book Birthday: The Chaos of Stars by Kiersten White

Today, Kiersten White (author of the Paranormalcy trilogy) releases her newest novel, The Chaos of Stars. Check it out!


All good stories have a few false starts...Myth: The children of immortal gods are immortal, too. Reality: Isadora isn't going to be around forever - and her parents barely seem to notice she's alive right now. Myth: Once a god, always a god - that kind of power never fades away. Reality: These days, Isadora's relatives are clinging to the little bit of power they have left. And some of them would do anything to take it all. Myth: Every teenage girl dreams of falling in love. Reality: From what Isadora's seen, love is a painful mess. All she dreams of is a normal life away from her crazy family-minus any romantic drama. Myth: If you go far enough, you can leave the past behind. Reality: Isadora moves halfway around the world to San Diego for a fresh start, but quickly finds that there's no such thing as a clean break from family - and that leaving her old life may mean sacrificing more than she ever guessed. Kiersten White burst onto the scene with her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, which won readers' hearts with its enchanting mix of magic and real-world teenage humor and drama. Her dark thriller, Mind Games, is an emotionally intense tale of crime and intrigue, which New York Times bestselling author Holly Black called A brutal, exciting gem of a book. The Chaos of Stars blends sweet romance, high-stakes suspense, and the magic of Egyptian mythology to create a complex, funny, and deeply moving story about true love and what it means to be a family.

So cool! I loved the Paranormalcy trilogy, and I am so excited to read this!

Happy Book Birthday: Mind Games by Kiersten White

Today marks the book launch of Kiersten White's MIND GAMES!

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.

Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways… or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.

In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

Congrats, Kiersten! Can't wait to read this!

It's Completely Normal to Love Paranormalcy

A couple weeks ago I won an eGalley of Kiersten White's highly anticipated debut novel PARANORMALCY. From the moment I started reading it, I was hooked.

PARANORMALCY is about Evie, a sixteen-year-old "bagger and tagger" of supernatural creatures. Since she has the unique ability to see through glamours, it's her job to keep the vampires, werewolves, and other paranormals from wreaking havoc on the world. Sounds good so far, right? Well, add a little dark faerie prophecy, mysterious paranormal deaths, and a hottie shape-shifter, and you've got yourself a fun and enthralling read you won't forget.

I loved the voice in this book. Kiersten's writing style is extremely fun and wonderfully captivating at the same time. I got Evie. I wanted to be her friend. And the adventure she's swept away on kept me glued to my computer screen. I can't wait for the sequel to come out so I can dive back into Evie's world. I liked this book so much that I asked Kiersten on Twitter if I could live in her brain. Her response?
Re: requests to live in my brain--most of the time it is very boring in there, as I'm obsessive and run the same things over and over and...
Plus, I have a rather small head (goes with my rather small body) and it would get crowded VERY quickly. You may, however, live in my books!
See how fun she is? If you haven't already pre-ordered PARANORMALCY, I highly recommend doing so.
