ADD TO GOODREADS
Moving to a new high school sucks. Especially a rich-kid private school. With uniforms. But nothing is worse than finding out the first girl you meet is dead. And a klepto.
No one can see or hear Kimberlee except Jeff, so--in hopes of bringing an end to the snarkiest haunting in history--he agrees to help her complete her "unfinished business." But when the enmity between Kimberlee and Jeff's new crush, Sera, manages to continue posthumously, Jeff wonders if he's made the right choice. Clash meets sass in this uproarious modern-day retelling of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel

Why I'm Hyperventilating:
*cough* Scarlet Pimpernel *cough* klepto ghost *cough* HONESTLY? That along makes me scream and shout that I WANT THIS BOOK SO BAD!!! Because I seriously DIG the Scarlet Pimpernel, have you ever read it? It's like romance, and all the action/intrigue you could want IN A HISTORICAL SETTING. Boo-yah. I APPLAUD Aprilynne for taking it on and making it a ghost book too. I can't begin to describe my excitement!
I MEAN GUYS. It's THE PIMPERNEL.
There is nothing cooler. Except maybe the Phantom and LOTR. *HYPERVENTILATING PARTY GOING ON HERE* And that's not even taking the cover!! I mean it's BEE-YOO-TI-FULLL!!! It's got this awesome vintage look going on, I'm totally into vintage and the colors are gorgeous and I LOVE those sunglasses. It's making me double excited......SO BAD. I think we can safely say I will have a fresh copy in my hands in April, if I don't get lucky for an ARC anytime sooner.

I do like the cover--but The Scarlet Pimpernel? *excuse my cluelessness* But what is that? Seriously? WHAT IS IT, INKY. I MUST KNOW. Oh, and I'm loving the LotR reference.
ReplyDeleteAlso, THE SUNGLASSES ARE EPIC. THEY HAVE A REFLECTION IN THEM.

*DIES FROM A SWORD TO THE GUT* What did you say? You have NO. Idea? UGGGGGH. MEGAN! THAT BOOK IS GENIUS!!!! THE MOVIE IS EPIC. *bangs head on walls* We must fix this Megs. Oh good. :D
DeleteGreat pick! Sounds amazing. Adding to my TBR list. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice!! I first heard about this one last week, I think. It sounds like such a weirdly awesome book LOL! I haven't actually read Aprilynne's other books, but this one sounds pretty cool! It seems like such a departure from Wings (just based on the blurbs, since I haven't read the books).
ReplyDeleteI've had mixed thoughts about this author's books, but I will still give this one a shot! I really like the sound of it. :) Brilliant pick!
ReplyDeleteLOVVE Pike! This was a great choice! <3 I'm anxiously awaiting this one too~
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassed to say I have NO idea what the Scarlet Pimpernel is about. There are so many retellings now I guess we have to go to the more obscure classics!
ReplyDeleteBut I do love ghost stories, so I'll give this one a try.
Just stopping by to say thank you for signing up for the 2013 Standalone Reading Challenge! Best of luck :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I'm seeing this cover and I LOVE it! Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to read this book. I haven't read any of her books, but I really should.

ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for following! I'm so sorry but I'm having my exams right now :(
But I would love to be your friend! :D

I've never read The Scarlet Pimpernel but it's on my list so I should definitely read that before picking up this awesome sounding book!
