#BlackFriday Contest: Sugar Skulls by Lisa Mantchev

What is a Black Friday without a few gifts and surprises? Lisa Mantchev wanted to be here, but due to deadlines (and we totally want more stories, right?), she was unable to participate. However, to celebrate the release of Sugar Skulls, she’s sent along this fabulous beauty instead: a copy of Sugar Skulls to give away and I know you want it. *grin*

LMantchev-Sugar SkullsWelcome to Cyrene, a city where energy is currency and music is the lifeblood of its young citizens. Everyone lives on the grid, and the residents of the world’s largest playground are encouraged to pursue every physical and emotional pleasure imaginable.

Vee is the lead singer of the Sugar Skulls, an all-girl band that is Corporate’s newest pet project. Micah haunts the city like a ghost after an overdose of a deadly illegal street drug knocks him off the grid. When Micah and Vee forge an immediate, undeniable connection, their troubled worlds collide.

Trading concert stages for Cyrene’s rooftops and back alleys, they have to evade vicious thugs and Vee’s possessive manager as they unravel the mysteries connected to their dark pasts. And before the curtain falls, Micah and Vee will bring the city to its knees in their desperate bid for love, home, and a future together.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

  1. Micah should get Vee The Monster High Skelita Calaveras Doll in honor of her band Sugar Skulls and should get Micah herself wrapped in a bow for the holidays. Merry Christmas

  2. Micah should get Vee a bottle of Crystal Skull vodka, Vee should get Micah an intricately crafted silver pendant in the design of a dragon.

  3. Since Vee is a singer, I think Micah should get her a personalized microphone. And Vee should get Micah a custom bracelet (which is pretty in right now). Thanks for the giveaway.
