Blood Of My Blood
Barry Lyga
Series: Jasper Dent #3
Publication date: September 9th 2014
by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
Jazz Dent has been shot and left to die in New York City. His girlfriend Connie is in the clutches of Jazz’s serial killer father, Billy. And his best friend Howie is bleeding to death on the floor of Jazz’s own home in tiny Lobo’s Nod. Somehow, these three must rise above the horrors their lives have become and find a way to come together in pursuit of Billy. But then Jazz crosses a line he’s never crossed before, and soon the entire country is wondering: “Like father, like son?” Who is the true monster?
The chase is on, and beyond Billy there lurks something much, much worse. Prepare to meet…the Crow King.

Ooh Falling Into Place and Rites of Passage are definitely ones I am most excited about. I am planning on buying them because i loved them too much to not have in the hardback.
Thanks for sharing, Giselle <33

‘Illusions of Fate’, ‘Playing With Matches’ and ‘Forest of Whispers’ grabbed my attention, but the cover for ‘Into the Fire’ would look so great on my shelf :)))
