Newest ARCs to Arrive... The Twilight Prisoner by Katherine Marsh

The wonderful and generous Katherine Marsh send us 10 copies of The Twilight Prisoner, sequel to The Night Tourist. Here is a bit of the synopsis found on the back:

After traveling to New York City's ghostly underworld, Jack Perdu has made it back aboveground, to join the living. But if he's alive, why is he still seeing ghosts?

If you are ready to read one, blog on my summer posting and I'll get one to you. Ms. Marsh is very interested in your opinions and is looking forward to reading your Recommended Reads on the book. Once you complete the book, please write a review [Recommended Read] and email it to my vusd email. I will forward your reviews onto Hyperion and Ms. Marsh.

More ARCs are coming... so get ready! xoxo Mrs. D.
