Gorgeous! That’s fancy for very beautiful… And I’m a bit silly right now but that doesn’t mean it’s not true! The new art by Mae I Design for Tracy E. Banghart’s YA story By Blood IS gorgeous. *points down* See? I would wear that lipstick and I love the feel of this cover… oh! make sure you enter her contest too. 😉

Title:
By Blood
Author: Tracy E. Banghart
Release Date: February 18th 2013
Series: (By Blood #1)
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal Romance
For 17-year-old Emma Wong, spending a summer in England should be a dream come true. Gorgeous scenery? Check. Lots of hot guys with accents? Yes, please.
Throw in an estranged mom, annoying new stepdad, and drooling baby half-brother, and it’s a disaster even her favorite cherry red leather jacket can’t fix. Even worse, there’s (hot) live-in research assistant Josh to contend with. The only thing more embarrassing than drunk-kissing him hours after they meet? Knowing he’ll be witness to her family’s dysfunction all. summer. long.
But when Emma meets a mysterious girl who happens to be a Druid, her vacation suddenly promises to be far more intriguing than she anticipated. Powerful rituals, new friends, an intoxicating sense of freedom…and Simon, the sexy foreign stranger she was hoping for. It’s all a perfect distraction from dirty diapers and awkward family dinners.
Trouble is, intriguing doesn’t often mean simple. And Emma is about to discover just how not simple her life really is.
By Blood is a novel about the ways that blood can bind us to others – or tear us apart.
