SUMMER SOLSTICE SEQUELS TOUR – 4 books, 4 authors, 4
days of prizes!
It’s the
final stop on the Summer Solstice
Sequels tour (*sniff*), where authors Lili Peloquin (THE INNOCENTS), Jessica
Spotswood (BORN WICKED), Elizabeth Richards (BLACK CITY), and Fiona Paul
(VENOM) have joined forces to celebrate the launch of their summer
sequels!
Today we’re spotlighting
Lili’s upcoming novel, THIS SIDE OF JEALOUSY (The Innocents, book
#2), due out on August 20!
About the Book
Publisher: Razorbill
Release date: August 20, 2013
Alice and Charlie haven’t stopped fighting since they arrived in
Serenity Point two weeks ago. Those two weeks changed their lives. And Serenity
Point has changed them.
While the sisters grapple with the terrible truth about their
family, the one-year memorial of Camilla’s death looms. The tension mounts and
sparks fly as bright as July Fourth fireworks. Alice and Charlie are desperate
to find out the truth that everyone seems to be hiding.
Is Camilla their enemy and rival—even six feet under? Or is she
their sister, whose memory they have to protect? And what really happened to
her that night on the bridge? In a town built on secrets and lies, can the
truth stay buried for long?
Bio
Lili
Peloquin is the author of The Innocents. She grew up in New England, where the

Let’s
play!
Quote 1:
Cass couldn't help herself. For a second, the two of them
were back on San Domenico, kissing on a bench in her aunt's garden. For a
second, desire budded and bloomed inside of her, as scarlet and fragrant as
Agnese's roses. For a second, nothing had changed.
Only everything had
changed.
Quote 2:
Alice could smell the blood even from more than a hundred
yards away. It hung on the air, sweet
and sticky and faintly rotten. And she
could hear, above the din of the crowd, the roar of the ocean, the sharp crack
of a fist on a face, bone colliding with bone, the dull thump of a knee in a
midsection or groin, of a body crumpling in on itself. In the distance, a police siren wailed, soft
but growing louder. Sickening sounds.
Quote 3:
That night, Elijah finds a bottle of spiced Shine hidden
away in one of the cupboards. The boys drink—I haven’t the stomach for it—while
we listen to music on the crackling radio, the stars glittering above us. Elijah
shows us a traditional Bastet dance, which makes us giggle.
“All
right, your turn,” he says, disgruntled.
Ash
gets up and does a funny jig, which he claims is a Darkling folk dance, but I
know he’s just making it up. I burst out laughing, as does Elijah.
“You
mocking my moves, blondie?” Ash teases.
I nod.
Quote 4:
“I’m so glad to see you! What are you doing in New London?”
I demand.
“We might ask you the same question, Sister,” Rory says.
Sachi’s dark eyes rest on my face. “What possessed you to
join the Sisterhood, Cate?”
“I don’t know what you mean. I’m very happy here in New
London,” I evade, glancing over my shoulder.
“Liar.” Rory isn’t one to mince words. “You’ve been crying,
plain as day.”
“You don’t have to tell us now,” Sachi says, eyeing me
sideways. “Father’s here for the duration of the council meeting. Finn, too. I
take it you’ve seen him? Did he speak to you?”
I shake my head, unable to speak past the lump that’s
reappeared in my throat.
“Oh, Cate, you look a mess.” She tosses me her bright pink
lace handkerchief.
“Has he”—I wipe my eyes, battle my pride, and lose—“has he
said anything about me?”
