Pitch by Jillian Eaton Released May 19th, 2012 Source of my copy: the author |
Sixteen-year-old Lola is a daredevil. She likes playing hooky, making out with bad boy Everett James, and stealing cars. The reason behind all of her rebellious antics? Because she can. But what can one girl do against a horde of murderous vampires?
Aided by her sometimes sober father, her best friend Travis, and Maximus, the mysterious stranger who appeared out of no where to save her life, Lola must accomplish what the rest of the human race has failed to do in the aftermath of the world wide massacre: survive.
But how do you survive when everything you know has been destroyed... and the one person you thought you could trust ends up being the most dangerous person of all?
------
The story opens with a chilling statement: “I can smell
the blood.” But from there, it only gets more intense. With a thrilling,
time-flash prologue to start it off, this fast-paced novella doesn't take any
breaks.
We’re introduced to Lola, a tough girl with a
not-so-great life. We get to come along for the ride as her already crappy life
literally becomes a living hell. Because the apocalypse? It seems to have
arrived. And it brought—get this—vampires. The vicious, non-sparkling sort.
Lola is a brave, strong heroine who won’t lie down and
die, and won’t leave behind those she loves. Everything in her life may have
changed, but Lola remains firm in her determination to stay alive, whatever the cost.
I loved every instant of Pitch, from the beginning
straight through to the jaw-dropping, heart-pounding, soul-crushing ending. If
all of Jillian Eaton’s books are this well-written and exciting to read, I’m
certainly going to check them out!!
Thank you, Jillian,
for the review copy, and for your patience waiting for the review!
Altogether, Pitch gets <*><*><*><*><*>
