#CoverReveal Sneak Peek: #CONTRIBUTE by Kristy Acevedo!

Jamie @ Books and Ladders 22 April 4 Comments

Hello friends! I have a fun and exciting post for you today because I get to feature the cover for

CONTRIBUTE by Kristy Acevedo!

This is the sequel to CONSIDER, which released on Tuesday that I absolutely LOVED. You can read my full review of CONSIDER but highlights of it include: good representation for mental health and had a great Sci-Fi vibe to it that I couldn't put it down while reading!

I am really excited for the cover and *may* have squealed when I saw it because it's SO PERFECT. At the bottom is a US/Canada Giveaway for a signed copy of CONSIDER and a bookmark, so keep scrolling! Without further ado, let's get to that cover...

ARC REVIEW: CONSIDER by Kristy Acevedo

Jamie @ Books and Ladders 15 April 0 Comments

CONSIDER

Author: Kristy Acevedo
Series: Holo #1
Source: ARC via the Publisher
Publisher: Jolly Fish Press
Publication Date: April 19, 2016
Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Summary:
As if Alexandra Lucas’ anxiety disorder isn’t enough, mysterious holograms suddenly appear from the sky, heralding the end of the world. They bring an ultimatum: heed the warning and step through a portal-like vertex to safety, or stay and be destroyed by a comet they say is on a collision course with earth. How’s that for senior year stress?

The holograms, claiming to be humans from the future, bring the promise of safety. But without the ability to verify their story, Alex is forced to consider what is best for her friends, her family, and herself.

To stay or to go. A decision must be made.

With the deadline of the holograms’ prophecy fast approaching, Alex feels as though she is living on a ticking time bomb, until she discovers it is much, much worse.

Purchase:

Amazon | Chapters | TBD

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

With the synopsis -- and the holograms -- telling everyone to make a choice, I spent the whole novel weighing my options. Which made it a really fun and engaging read for me. I put myself into Alex's shoes and thought "What would I do in this situation?" At the end, when it was do or die, I had made the decision to stay. When you read the book, you should try this and see which decision is the right one. To stay or to go.

Mission: Open Letter to KRISTY ACEVEDO and CONSIDER

Jamie @ Books and Ladders 19 October 7 Comments

Dearest Kristy Acevedo,
I am writing this letter to you in praise of everything you do. I found out about your book CONSIDER via the Fledgling Authors Chat way back in July 2015 and since then have been waiting in eager anticipation to read your book. Luckily enough, you posted the first chapter as part of your cover reveal which made me giddy with excitement.

I think one of the best parts of all this is that your book is science fiction and seems like it will have a lot of those aspects in this novel. I am hoping that there is at least one instance that has a cheesy, classic science fiction feel, one instance that makes me want to lose my mind because I am nervous that this COULD happen to me in the near future, and one instance where I am like "YAS SLAY ALEX". But mostly, I am excited to feel as though I am living in your book and your world because the main character will be just like me.
