THE BEAUTIFUL ASHES excerpt and audio news by Jeaniene Frost

Remember The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost? I've featured it in one of my Sunday Suspense posts. And now, Ms Frost has published news on the audiobook AND we also have gotten an excerpt. It's freakin' exciting, I don't know how I will be able to wait until August, almost September. Though, if I could wait two years for City of Heavenly Fire, I can bear anything at all. So here is the article:



"Hi, everyone! I’ve finally been given the green light to announce that audio rights for the upcoming Broken Destiny series sold at auction to Blackstone Audio in what Publishers Marketplace would classify as a “significant” deal. Blackstone (called Downpour on the consumer end) was the audio publisher for my first eight novels, so I’m thrilled to be working with them again.
I’m also thrilled to announce that Tavia Gilbert, the audio narrator for all my vampire novels, will be narrating the new series, too. Tavia is a genius with accents, emotions and performance, so I can’t wait to hear her rendition of the books.
Speaking of the new series, I’ve been promising you an excerpt from book one, THE BEAUTIFUL ASHES, and now I’m finally putting out ;). This excerpt takes place in Chapter Two, so it’s still early in the story. For a little context, my heroine arrived in town only to be attacked twice and then saved by a stranger, but as you’ll see, that’s just the beginning of her problems.
If you’ve never heard me talk about the new series before, I’m pasting the cover and description below. If you’ve already seen that, just skip to the new stuff after it. Hope you enjoy!"

YA Book Releases Next Week (March 31-April 6) Part 2

Here is part 2 of YA Releases Next week (March 31-April 4) and I'm trying out a new kind of ordering, since there are many reprinted editions among the new releases and I don't want any misinterpretation to happen, that somebody might overlook it and buy it thinking that it's something new or something akin. So first the indeed new books come, and then after a post divider, the reprinted books get listed. Well...Let's start.

Synopsis:

Nothing lasts forever, and no one gets that more than Tessa. After her mother died, it’s all she can do to keep her friends, her boyfriend, her happiness from slipping away. And then there’s her dad. He’s stuck in his own daze, and it’s hard to feel like a family when their house no longer seems like a home.

Her father’s solution? An impromptu road trip that lands them in a small coastal town. Despite all the beauty there, Tessa can’t help but feel even more lost. Her most cherished possession—a rare plant of her mother’s—is starting to wither, and with it, Tessa’s heart and her hope.

Enter Henry Lark. He understands the relationships that matter. And more important, he understands her. Though secrets stand between them, each has a chance at healing…if first, Tessa can find the courage to believe in forever.
