COVER REVEAL - BETWEEN BY MARY TING

I am SO SO SO SO excited to bring you the cover reveal for MARY TING'S book BETWEEN!  Mary has become a wonderful friend of mine, and I couldn't be more excited and honored to share this with you.  BETWEEN is the second book in Mary's CROSSROADS series.  In fact, CROSSROADS was one of my favorite books of 2011 and was featured this week on my blog as one of the Best I've Read 2011 reads.  Be sure to take a look at that!

If you haven't read CROSSROADS, I suggest you rectify that immediately :)  Here is the synopsis - Claudia Emerson has a good friend who shares the same first name and last name. That friend unfortunately dies in a tragic accident during homecoming dance. Claudia is distraught at the loss of her friend, but is even more disturbed by her dreams, which seem to take her to another place called Crossroads. Unknown to her, Crossroads is like a second heaven, a place between heaven and earth. It is where the souls of humans in comas or near death experiences may wander. Where, Claudia meets Michael, a nephilim, a half angel, half human, whom she often meets in her dreams. It turns out that this isn’t her first visit to Crossroads, which is an enigma for no human can ever travel there until Claudia.

Now the fallen and demons are after her, suspecting she must be special and it is up to Michael and the other nephilims to protect her. Her dream becomes a nightmare as more secrets are revealed, about who she really is, and the true identities of the people she loves most. Can Michael fight his growing feelings for Claudia and protect her as a guardian angel should?

Mary wrote CROSSROADS as a way for her to heal from the loss of her Grandmother.  She wrote it for her, but BETWEEN, book 2, was written for her fans.  Mary says, "My fans have been so dedicated and their encouragement and enthusiasm has inspired me.  So, for all my CROSSROADS fans out there, BETWEEN is for you!!!  Thank you so much for  your love and support!!!"

Mary was also inspired to write CROSSROADS from a dream she had in high school.  Chapter one and two are based on her dream.  For Between, chapter 20, the part of Austin, is based on her dream too.  Mary said she should say it was actually more of a nightmare, but when she woke up she thought it would be so cool to write about.   


I am so excited!  Here is the synopsis for BETWEEN -

As the alkins head back to Crossroads, Claudia leads her normal life; but not for long. Having a special soul, Claudia attracts danger, and she soon finds out who Gamma asked to watch over her. The Twelve, known as Divine Elders on Earth, are very much involved when they find out that Aliah, one of the God’s first angels, escaped from the Abyss when the gates were opened by Aden. Needing Claudia’s soul to escape the only place Aliah can reside–a place         
between Heaven and Earth–he sends his demons in search of all Claudia Emersons on Earth. Taking her soul will enable him to be released from Between and cross over to Crossroads, which would give him immense power. Meanwhile, as more secrets are revealed, Claudia learns about other nephilim that exist on Earth called venators, who are demon hunters. The alkins and venators must work together to protect not just Claudia, but humanity as well. But along the way, trust becomes a big issue. Will love be enough to keep Claudia and Michael together? Who will make the ultimate sacrifice? Who will betray them all?

And without further adieu....  here is the cover of BETWEEN!
