Slice of Cherry Jacket Copy
Author: DiaMy editor just sent me the copy for SoC:
Happiness is a bloody knife.
Kit and Fancy Cordelle are sisters of the best kind: best friends, best confidantes, and best accomplices. The daughters of the infamous Bonesaw Killer, Kit and Fancy are used to feeling like outsiders, and that’s just the way they like it. But in Portero, where the weird and wild run rampant, the Cordelle sisters are hardly the oddest or most dangerous creatures around.
It’s no surprise when Kit and Fancy start to give in to their deepest desire—the desire to kill. What starts as a fascination with slicing open and stitching up quickly spirals into a gratifying murder spree. Of course, the sisters aren’t killing just anyone, only the people who truly deserve it. But the girls have learned from the mistakes of their father, and know that a shred of evidence could get them caught. So when Fancy stumbles upon a mysterious and invisible doorway to another world, she opens a door to endless possibilities….
I think she did a great job. I like the way it focuses on the sisters and the murder and mayhem and not the romance, which is normally what YA paranormal blurbs highlight. Now if only I had a cover to go along with the cool jacket copy, I’d be the happiest girl in the world. Hint, hint.

You hit the nail on the head, Ka-Yam! And no worries–you’re on my shortlist of people to send copies to. And if you play your cards right, I *might* even let you keep your soul.

It’s so cuuuute! And one of them is carrying a severed arm–that’s so eerily appropriate that I have to wonder if you’re…psychic? But yes, you have earned the right to keep your soul.

Supi, that you like it’s cuteness and I can keep my -maybe psychic- soul. ( ゚∀゚) ye ha!
