Since her release from Liberty Children's Facility, Anya Balanchine is determined to follow the straight and narrow. Unfortunately, her criminal record is making it hard for her to do that. No high school wants her with a gun possession charge on her rap sheet. Plus, all the people in her life have moved on: Natty has skipped two grades at Holy Trinity, Scarlet and Gable seem closer than ever, and even Win is in a new relationship.But when old friends return demanding that certain debts be paid, Anya is thrown right back into the criminal world that she had been determined to escape. It’s a journey that will take her across the ocean and straight into the heart of the birthplace of chocolate where her resolve--and her heart--will be tested as never before.

I am sooooo excited that they just released the info for this book! I LOVED All These Things I've Done, so I *cannot* wait to read this follow-up...especially since it sounds like Anya travels to Russia...
I just want to know how we went from super awesome abstract cover to giant head.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Honestly, this is my only complaint...the story sounds amazing. I HATE the cover. I miss the dripping chocolate. It was different and evocative...this is same old, same old.
ReplyDeleteOk, I hadn't heard of this series before, but now I want to read it! Good thing my library has the first book, All These Things I've Done. I'm going to go definitely check it out soon! Thanks for sharing!
