The White Rose (The Jewel #2)
by Amy Ewin

Publication Date: October 6, 2015
Publisher: HarperTeen

Violet is on the run. After the Duchess of the Lake catches Violet with Ash, the hired companion at the Palace of the Lake, Violet has no choice but to escape the Jewel or face certain death. So along with Ash and her best friend, Raven, Violet runs away from her unbearable life of servitude.

But no one said leaving the Jewel would be easy. As they make their way through the circles of the Lone City, Regimentals track their every move, and the trio barely manages to make it out unscathed and into the safe haven they were promised—a mysterious house in the Farm.

But there’s a rebellion brewing, and Violet has found herself in the middle of it. Alongside a new ally, Violet discovers her Auguries are much more powerful than she ever imagined. But is she strong enough to rise up against the Jewel and everything she has ever known?

The White Rose is a raw, captivating sequel to The Jewel that fans won’t be able to put down until the final shocking moments.

YA Authors/Books I’d Recommend to My Fans

by Amy Ewing

There are so many amazing YA authors out there, it’s tough to choose! But I’ll pick two. First is THE TRUTH ABOUT ALICE by Jennifer Mathieu. This is the sort of book I wish had been around when I was in high school. It’s a cold, hard look at slut shaming, at how and why rumors can spin out of control and the very serious effects they can have. The story is told from multiple perspectives, and while Alice is the girl at the heart of the gossip, we don’t hear from her directly. It’s fascinating and heartbreaking and I devoured it in one sitting. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough.

The second book/author I must rec is Jessica Verdi and her most recent novel, WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND. It’s a poignant tale about a teen dad not only dealing with the death of his girlfriend to cancer, but with suddenly having to take care of a child all on his own. Ryden’s voice is spot on and the struggles he faces with trying to fit his old life into his new one will leave you feeling all the feels. It grabs your heartstrings from page one and doesn’t let go.

Thanks so much for having me!
