Guest post - Cinder Review

Cinder [Lunar Chronicles, Book One] by Marissa Meyer – 4/5 stars

Cyborgs and Lunars and Lols, oh my!
Marissa Meyer’s debut novel, Cinder, is a brilliant postmodern fairytale-reboot. The tale of Cinderella has been dusted-off, re-wired, and teleported into a future New Beijing. Cinderella is a cyborg, her prince is a hoodie-wearing emperor-in-waiting, and a mysterious plague sweeping the planet isn’t the only thing threatening to disrupt the ball!

Film and TV are awash with updated and re-worked fairytale adaptations at the moment, but you won’t find a grungy mechanic salivating over sweet buns with her android sidekick in Snow White and the Huntsman or Mirror Mirror.

We Have a Winner!!!

A huge thank you to all of you who entered the giveaway, and to all of you who helped to spread the word!

I used random.org to pick the winner for the ARC copy of Broken by A E Rought. The winner is......

Hollie Georgiana!!

"I adore the cover for this book, I love the contrast between the white and the red. So eye catching! Following your blog :)"

Congratulations! If you send us an email at yabluewater@gmail.com with your name and address, then we can make sure that your copy is sent to you as soon as it becomes available.

Last of all I would like to say a big thank you to Strange Chemistry, for letting me get involved with the cover reveal, and being generally awesome!! Thanks guys!

See you next post,

Author Interview - Kim Curran

Hi there!! Here is another excellent interview for you guys! ( I spoil you lot don't I? lol)
This one is with the awesome Kim Curran. She has her debut book out in September, it's called Shift and I can't wait to read it!....



With the release of your debut book Shift later this year, how are you feeling about life as a writer?

Terrified pretty much sums it up. But incredibly excited as well.Knowing that in a matter of weeks people around the world will be able to walk into a shop, or go online, and buy my book, it’s the dream come true. But that comes with lots of anxiety. Will they like it? Will anyone other than my mother buy a copy? But one thing is sure: I know that I don’t want to do any thing else with my life.

 

COVER REVEAL - Broken by A E Rought



Yay! This is our first cover reveal here at #YABluewater. It's rather exciting!

Imagine a modern spin on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein where a young couple’s undying love and the grief of a father pushed beyond sanity could spell the destruction of them all.
