The Treachery of Beautiful Things
The Treachery of Beautiful Things
by Ruth Frances Long
Coming out on August 16th, 2012!!!
Why in such a long time?!!! Why???!!!!!
Back Cover Blurb: The trees swallowed her brother whole. And Jenny was there to see it. Years later, when she returns to the woods where Tom was taken to say good-bye at last, she finds herself lured into a world where stunning beauty masks the most treacherous of evils, and strange and dangerous creatures await—creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with allegiances that shift as much as his moods. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack’s help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, and she’s faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own.
I love this cover! who wouldn't? It is stunningly beautiful! When I saw this book in goodreads, it drew my attention right away. Then, I read a short following review that just blew me away!
“a darkly engaging mix of romance, adventure, fairytale, and folklore, about a teenage girl thrust into a faerie world where nothing is what it seems, no one is who they say, trust is a variable commodity, love can be used against her, and where the veil slowly lifts until she finds herself faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice—and not just her own, to Jessica Garrison at Dial Books for Young Readers, in a preempt, by Colleen Lindsay at FinePrint Literary Management (World)
– from The Swivet (and Publishers Marketplace)
Romance, fairytale and folklore! OMG! Aren't you excited about this book too? Add it to your goodreads asap! =D
