Book Description:
What fortune awaited sweet, timid Percy Parker at Athens Academy? Considering how few of Queen Victoria’s Londoners knew of it, the great Romanesque fortress was dreadfully imposing, and little could Percy guess what lay inside. She had never met the powerful and mysterious Professor Alexi Rychman, knew nothing of the growing shadow, the Ripper and other supernatural terrors against which his coterie stood guard. She knew simply that she was different, haunted, with her snow-white hair, pearlescent skin and uncanny gifts. But this arched stone doorway offered a portal to a new life, an education far from the convent—and an invitation to an intimate yet dangerous dance at the threshold of life and death….

Hey Anna,
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this book look good? I saw it the other day. You know, I met her at Lori Foster's and didn't know who she was!
Yes, it looks very good. I'm looking forward to reading it. That's cool you got to meet her. :)
ReplyDeleteI met Leanna at the Gathering (the party and awards ceremony at RWA Nationals for the Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal Chapter) and she was AMAZING. I can't WAIT to read this book!
ReplyDeleteSo cool to see this book being promoted around blogland! I met Leanna last summer at a casual author-blogger get together in NYC hosted by Ann Aguirre. Leanna was so kind and enthusiastic about writing. I hope her book does well.

ReplyDeleteI'm about 2/3 the way through and it's quite lovely! I haven't met Leanna but she seems so nice =) Glad to know she is in person from everyone's comments.
