Releasing: May 1, 2013 by Simon & Schuster
Seventeen-year-old Meg Fellowes is a wry, resourceful thief forced to join an elite group of female spies in Queen Elizabeth’s Court. There she must solve a murder, save the Crown, and resist the one thing that will become her greatest freedom–and her deadliest peril.Why I'm Hyperventilating:
For Meg and her fellow spies are not alone in their pursuit of the murderer who stalks Windsor Castle. A young, mysterious Spanish courtier, Count Rafe de Martine, appears at every turn in the dark and scandal-filled corridors of the Queen’s summer palace. And though secrets and danger are Meg’s stock-in-trade, she’s never bargained on falling in love…
Um, guys. LOOK AT THE FREAKING PREMISE. There are thieves. Spies. FEMALE SPIES. Detectiveness. SPANISH COURTIERS. What the heck. I'm in love with this premise! UM YES U WANT IT! Wheee this is my kinda book. Action and romance in a historical setting, not to mention kick-butt girls. AYE AYE! Me likey, and I needeth this badly. It maketh me lispeth. :P Oh and did I mention the cover is freaking awesome?

I can't even tell you how excited we are to be hosting this tour, the book is fantastic and we're super psyched to drag you guys into THREE WEEKS of awesome promotion and fun!! Here's a little bit about the book and author:
There is no cure for being stung. Fiona doesn’t remember going to sleep. But when she opens her eyes, she discovers her entire world has been altered—her house is abandoned and broken, and the entire neighborhood is barren and dead. Even stranger is the tattoo on her right hand—a black oval with five marks on either side—that she doesn’t remember getting but somehow knows she must cover at any cost. She’s right.
Those bearing the tattoo have turned into mindless, violent beasts that roam the streets and sewers, preying upon the unbranded while a select few live protected inside a fortress-like wall, their lives devoted to rebuilding society and killing all who bear the mark.Now Fiona has awakened branded, alone—and on the wrong side of the wall.
Bethany Wiggins
Bethany Wiggins has always been an avid reader, but not an avid student. Seriously!!! She failed ninth grade English because she read novels instead of doing her homework. In high school, she sat alone at lunch and read massive hardback fantasy novels (Tad Williams and Robert Jordan anyone?). It wasn't until the end of her senior year that the other students realized she was reading fiction--not the Bible.
Seven years ago, Bethany's sister dared her to start writing an hour a day until she completed a novel. Bethany wrote a seven-hundred page fantasy novel that she wisely let no one read--but it taught her how to write. Since then she has completed six more novels, each one a little better than the one before.The fifth book she wrote, "SHIFTING" is represented by Marlene Stringer of the Stringer Literary Agency and was published by Walked Book on Spetember 27, 2011!!! (Visualize happy dance (: )
So there you have it! That's the book we get to spam over the internet, and the author who is so lovely and thoughtful! We'd LOVE to have you on the tour if you're interested! All you have to do is fill out the form below, AFTER you have filled out the BOOK PAPARAZZI TOUR HOST FORM.

UM. WHAT THE HECK. It's a wasp. And a syringe on the cover. Say what?! I LOVED Bethany's first book Shifting, and I'm very curious to see where she is gonna go in her newest one, which is a TOTALLY different genre! It's gonna be snazzy and awesome. I forsee greatness. And it is a fact that the cover isn't your normal eye-candy. But it's mysterious and eludes lots of awesome things. WHEEEEEEEE! I can't wait!
What are you waiting on this week?

TIME TRAVEL
Out of EVERY genre represented here...this one is my FAVORITE. I adore historical fiction. It's just so interesting to me, to learn about REAL things. Specially with a fun setting and romance on the side. I've got another awesome list of Historical Fiction, compiled from my favorites and suggestions from Twitter Peeps! Hope something catches your eye!HISTORICAL FICTION
This genre consists of a lot of Dystopian and sci-fi related things. But it's also totally fun to see how people image the world being in the future. If you notice, I've taken books that take OUR world envisioned in the future. Not some dystopian society living who who the heck knows where. These are some favorites and eagerly anticipated books so I hope something tickles your fancy!FUTURISTIC FICTION
And that, ladies and gentlemen is the epic giveaway list. I hope you've found something you like!
