Book Dreaming is just that. It’s a feature I’m going to use to highlight those books that make you dreamy or possibly just end up making you dream about them. It could be anything from newly released books to one’s that are already out that I can’t get out of my head to those I can’t seem to get my hands on soon enough!
Today’s Book Dreaming pick is Embrace by Jessica Shirvington which is the first book in the The Violet Eden Chapters series.
I’ve actually already had the privilege of reading an early manuscript of this new novel and when I finished all I could think was WOW! I loved it enough to talk about it in a past Interrobang YA. This is going to knock your socks off and you’ll be begging for more, I promise! But guess what? It doesn’t come out until March of 2012! So, until then take a look at the “sneak peek” cover, the synopsis and then head over to the brand new website designed with the release of the book in mind including chapter excerpts and more!
I slowly opened my eyes. The sun speared its first bright rays of golden orange into the sky and I leapt from the cliff, with the sorrowful knowledge that no matter what the outcome, at least part of me would die that day…
Violet Eden is dreading her seventeenth birthday dinner. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. The one bright spot is that Lincoln will be there. Sexy, mature and aloof, he is Violet’s idea of perfection. But why does he seem so reluctant to be anything more than a friend?
After he gives her the world’s most incredible kiss – and then abandons her on her front doorstep – Violet is determined to get some answers. But nothing could have prepared her for Lincoln’s explanation: he is Grigori – part angel and part human – and Violet is his eternal partner.
Without warning, Violet’s world is turned upside down. She never believed in God, let alone angels. But there’s no denying the strange changes in her body … and her feelings for Lincoln. Suddenly, she can’t stand to be around him. Luckily, Phoenix, an exiled angel, has come into her life. He’s intense and enigmatic, but at least he never lied to her.
As Violet gets caught up in an ancient battle between dark and light, she must choose her path. The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity…
The cover reveal is coming on December 8th, but in preparation the publisher has put together a teaser trailer. Take a look!

This is one book I can hardly wait to be released so I can have my very own print book to put on my shelves! What about you?
Great to hear! I just picked up a copy at NCIBA.
Sounds like a fascinating book. I love the idea of Dreamy Books!
Fascinating
