Rite of Rejection by Sarah Negovetich COVER REVEAL!

Hey everyone! It's shaping up to be a VERY busy day on the blog, but that's okay because I still have all kinds of awesome to share with you. A few weeks ago I was contacted by today's author, Mrs. Sarah Negovetich about helping to promote her upcoming debut novel. You guys know how much I love debut novels, but Sarah one upped the others by appealing to my love of all things Broadway and Books in her intro email. This woman knows the way to my heart. It's just been a few weeks and I can already tell this is one train I need to be jumping on. You guys may not have heard about this one, but after today I hope to see it on ALL of your TBR lists. Today I am hosting a cover reveal for the debut novel by Sarah Negovetich, Rite of Rejection! Check out the cover and some info about the book + Sarah here:

Rite of Rejection by Sarah Negovetich
Releasing December 4th, 2014

Straight-laced, sixteen-year-old Rebecca can’t wait for her Acceptance. A fancy ball, eligible bachelors, and her debut as an official member of society. Instead, the Machine rejects Rebecca. Labeled as a future criminal, she’s shipped off to a life sentence in a lawless penal colony.

A life behind barbed wire fences with the world’s most dangerous people terrifies Rebecca. She reluctantly joins a band of misfit teens in a risky escape plan, complete with an accidental fiancé she’s almost certain she can learn to love. 

But freedom comes with a price. To escape a doomed future and prove her innocence Rebecca must embrace the criminal within.

Pre-order Available now at Amazon, B&N, Kobo & iTunes

One

Before You Stands the Future. The dark-red banner strung across the storefront awning matches the dozens of others lining the streets of the shopping district. Each one with the same clock counting down to Acceptance. Tomorrow morning can’t get here soon enough.

I push the glowing blue button and the door slides open with a staccato puff of air. Overhead, an electric bell dings as I shuffle into the upscale boutique packed with other Candidates. Cheryl is right behind me, bouncing on her toes with each step. My mother would die of embarrassment if I showed the same lack of decorum as my best friend, but I’m bouncing on the inside. Our mothers walk in behind us and the door slides shut with another whoosh of air.

We visited half the shops in Cardinal City this morning in our search for the perfect dresses and dyed-to-match shoes. I got a thrill buying my first pair of silk gloves, Cheryl and I gushing over the tiny pearl buttons, but this is the purchase I’m looking forward to the most.

Shelves bursting with dance cards cover every square inch of wall space. Dozens of girls sigh and squeal over the small books we’ll use to record the names of our dance partners for tomorrow’s ball. I wipe damp palms against the cool material of my skirt and force myself to focus on the goal. One of these books is the perfect one for me. Hopefully, by the end of tomorrow night, it will hold the name of my future husband.

Sarah Negovetich

Sarah Negovetich knows you don't know how to pronounce her name and she's okay with that.

Her first love is Young Adult novels, because at seventeen the world is your oyster. Only oysters are slimy and more than a little salty; it's accurate if not exactly motivational. We should come up with a better cliché.

Sarah divides her time between writing YA books that her husband won’t read and working with amazing authors as an agent at Corvisiero Literary Agency. Her life’s goal is to be only a mildly embarrassing mom when her kids hit their teens.

You can learn more about Sarah and her books at www.SarahNegovetich.com or follow her antics on Twitter @SarahNego.
