News Round up! Summer and the City cover revealed & Read the first chapter of Entice by Carrie Jones!

I loved The Carrie Diaries, and I think that the cover for book #2 in the series is most cute (if  you like pink!) While The Carrie Diaries focused on our heroine's small-town upbrining, Summer and the City will detail Carrie's first summer in NYC. It's sure to be a lot of fun. I can't wait. Summer and the City will be published by Harper Teen in the US in April 2011.  I believe this will be released in the UK in May, but I haven't seen any cover art for that one yet.

What do you think? Do you love it, hate it, are just not interested in this series?

I featured Entice the third installment of Carrie Jones Need series in my IMM post yesterday, so I know quite a few of you are looking forward to reading it.  Thanks to Bloomsbury you can now get a sneak peek of the first chapter.  The book releases in January 2011. Happy reading!

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not quite how things have worked out.

For starters, well, Nick is dead. Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?

And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned. She's Astley's queen.
