This week I'm eagerly anticipating...
Levitating Las Vegas
by Jennifer Echols
Publisher: Pocket Star
Release Date: May 7, 2013Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Nothing up her sleeves...or so she’s been led to believe.
Showgirl Holly Starr is sick and tired of assisting her dad, a celebrity magician, in his Las Vegas casino magic show. As soon as he keeps his promise to her and shares the secrets to his tricks, she can break out on her own. But can she really make it? For years Holly has taken medication to stave off crazy hallucinations that she can levitate objects. Just when she thinks she’s ready to make a career and a life for herself, her medicine—and her luck—run out.
Elijah Brown suffers from a similar delusion—that he can read minds—and he’s out of medicine too. Determined to save himself and his old flame Holly, he kidnaps her and takes her straight to the source, a town high in the Rockies where their medicine is made. What they discover there leads them to suspect their powers are not imaginary after all...and neither is the intense attraction they feel for each other.
They make a pact to stick together as they return to Vegas to confront the people who kept them in the dark so long. But soon they’re pitting their powers against each other in a dangerous world where the nightlife is seductive, domination is addictive, the sex is beyond belief...and falling in love is murder.

Love this writer and I can't wait to see what she does with this one (it sounds like an NA but I've seen it categorized as adult, too...).
ReplyDeleteI think for big publishers they still don't have an official NA category or imprint, so it's hard to label them. I know the author is calling it NA, though.
DeleteLove the new NA genre, but why are so many of them so focused on sex? LOL. Sounded good until that last line. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WOW.
Agreed, I think a lot of the titles (not this one) are trying to capitalize on the popularity of other titles, and a lot of them have become repetitive. I do wish there was more variety in the genre, so it makes me happy that this one at least is a less popular genre for the category.
DeleteI hadn't heard of this book. I have only read one book by Jennifer Echols, but I really need to read more soon. I'll really ahve to get this one when it is released. It sounds like my kind of book. Great pick!

I haven't heard of this one but it sounds good. Brandi @ Blkosiner’s Book Blog
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this one, but I like Jennifer Echols! I'm adding this to my TBR for sure! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCheck out MINE!
I didn't know Echols was giving New Adult a try! I'm very curious about this one now. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is her first official NA, even though she's written older teens in the past.
DeleteReally excited about this one-I think Echols writing has already pushed into NA with its content sometimes so this should be really good.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! Good pick!

I still haven't read any Jennifer Echols! This one looks really good and I hear it's more of an adult read ... I like those kind of reads!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!
After having read it now, I would say it does feel a lot more like an adult novel... which isn't a bad thing, but definitely different.
DeleteThe cover reminds me of the cover of Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer's Between the Lines. Random! I know :) But holy crap the synopsis! Mostly the last paragraph than anything else.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I can see that! There are a couple of covers that kind of look like that one.
