Cover Reveal: Solstice by P.J. Hoover

I am so so happy to be a part of this cover reveal! I've read Solstice over a year ago when Tricia first had it published and it was one of my most favorite books. Now I get to share with you it's all new lovely cover as the book has been picked up and is scheduled to be published by Tor Teen!

Solstice by P.J. Hoover
June 21st 2013 by Tor Teen/Macmillan

Each day brings hotter temperatures and heat bubbles that threaten to destroy the earth. Amid this global heating crisis, Piper lives under the oppressive rule of her mother, who suffocates her even more than the weather does. Everything changes on her eighteenth birthday, when her mother is called away on a mysterious errand and Piper seizes her first opportunity for freedom.

Piper discovers a universe she never knew existed—a sphere of gods and monsters—and realizes that her world is not the only one in crisis. While gods battle for control of the Underworld, Piper’s life spirals out of control as she struggles to find the answer to the secret that has been kept from her since birth.

An imaginative melding of mythology and dystopia, Solstice is the first YA novel by talented newcomer P. J. Hoover.

“Solstice is one red-hot read—it intrigues, sizzles, and satisfies.” —Cynthia Leitich Smith, New York Times bestselling author

Just in case you're wondering just how good Solstice is, you can read my review here. And if you are wondering just how 'mythology' is in this book, this is somewhat a retelling of Persephone and Hades's story, so expect to meet and read about a lot of Gods and Goddesses.

About the author:

P. J. Hoover first fell in love with Greek mythology in sixth grade thanks to the book Mythology by Edith Hamilton. After a fifteen year bout as an electrical engineer designing computer chips for a living, P. J. decided to take her own stab at mythology and started writing books for kids and teens. When not writing, P. J. spends time with her husband and two kids and enjoys practicing kung fu, solving Rubik's cubes, and watching Star Trek.
