Joy Delamere is suffocating...
From asthma, which has nearly claimed her life. From her parents, who will do anything to keep that from happening. From delectably dangerous Asher, who is smothering her from the inside out.
Joy can take his words - tender words, cruel words - until the night they go too far.
Now, Joy will leave everything behind to find the one who has offered his help, a homeless boy called Creed. She will become someone else. She will learn to survive. She will breathe... if only she can get to Creed before it’s too late.
Set against the gritty backdrop of Seattle’s streets and a cast of characters with secrets of their own, Holly Cupala’s powerful new novel explores the subtleties of abuse, the meaning of love, and how far a girl will go to discover her own strength.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, too bad this isn't something I'm good at. Good luck to all!
ReplyDelete@Sophie- Thanks so much for mentioning that! Sorry I forgot to add it to the post :) You can email me at totalbookaholic@ hotmail.com with the entries. I added that information to the post just now as well.
ReplyDeleteI love the themes in this book:)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the covers people come up with! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteis it one entry per person or can we make more than one cover each?
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a really cool concept!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You know, I might even join if I have the time.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick question: do we have to use the same font as in the original cover? If yes, what's the name of the font/where can we find it?
Thanks again for the opportunity.
Jessica, thanks so much for being part of the tour and for hosting this contest!! I hope you all enjoy entering!
ReplyDeleteNope, you can use whatever font you want, but if you are into fonts (I am...that's the first thing I did when I saw the final cover was track it down!), it's called DOWNCOME, and I think you can download it for free here: http://www.dafont.com/downcome.font
First off, thank you for this opportunity! Gave me a chance to brush up on my graphics skills a bit.
ReplyDeleteJust noticed Holly posted the name and link to the font used. Wish I would have seen that before I went looking. LOL Of course, DaFont is my go to font site and it didn't take me long to locate it. :)

I'm not great graphics, but I appreciate the opportunity to read your book. Best wishes with your future endeavours!:)
