July & August YASH Book Releases

Hello YASHers!

Here are the upcoming book releases for July and August from our YASH authors.

THE DO-OVER by JENNIFER HONEYBOURN

In The Do-Over, a teenage girl gets the chance to redo her past in this smart and charming YA novel by the author of When Life Gives You Demons, Jennifer Honeybourn.

Emelia has always wanted to fit in with the A crowd. So, when Ben, the hottest guy in school, asks her out, she chooses him over Alistair, her best friend—even after he confesses his feelings to her.

Six months later, Emilia wonders how her life would have been different if she’d chosen Alistair instead. Haunted by her mistake, she finds a magical solution that promises to rectify the past. As a result, everything in her life is different.

Different, but not better.

What happens if her second chance is her only chance to make things right?

LAST CHANCE SUMMER by SHANNON KLARE

In Shannon Klare's fun and sexy YA novel Last Chance Summer, a teen is shipped off to work as a counselor at a summer camp—only to butt heads with her co-counselor.

Alex is a sheriff's daughter with a less than pristine reputation. When she's caught drinking at a party by her dad’s deputy, she’s in deep trouble. With an already incriminating incident in her past, Alex’s parents ship her off to her aunt’s summer camp to work as a counselor—lest she spend her senior year at boarding school.

What's worse than spending your summer deep in the mosquito-infested woods of Texas?

Being paired with an obnoxious co-counselor who wants nothing to do with you.

Alex is determined to make the best of her summer, even if it means putting up with Grant, who has secrets of his own that he's determined to protect. Can Alex and Grant put their egos to the side and find the bright side of a summer that neither of them signed up for?

YASH Releases in May and June

Better late than never, right?
Here are some amazing releases by YASH authors happening in May and June 2020!

SEASONS OF THE STORM by ELLE COSIMANO

One cold, crisp night, Jack Sommers was faced with a choice—live forever according to the ancient, magical rules of Gaia, or die.

Jack chose to live, and in exchange, he became a Winter—an immortal physical embodiment of the season on Earth. Every year, he must hunt the Season who comes before him. Summer kills Spring. Autumn kills Summer. Winter kills Autumn. And Spring kills Winter.

Jack and Fleur, a Winter and a Spring, fall for each other against all odds. To be together, they’ll have to escape the cycle that’s been forcing them apart. But their creator won’t let them go without a fight.

FOREST OF SOULS by LORI M. LEE

Sirscha Ashwyn comes from nothing, but she’s intent on becoming something. After years of training to become the queen’s next royal spy, her plans are derailed when shamans attack and kill her best friend Saengo.

And then Sirscha, somehow, restores Saengo to life.

Unveiled as the first soulguide in living memory, Sirscha is summoned to the domain of the Spider King. For centuries, he has used his influence over the Dead Wood—an ancient forest possessed by souls—to enforce peace between the kingdoms. Now, with the trees growing wild and untamed, only a soulguide can restrain them. As war looms, Sirscha must master her newly awakened abilities before the trees shatter the brittle peace, or worse, claim Saengo, the friend she would die for.

Spring 2020 YASH Winners!

The Spring 2020 YA Scavenger Hunt Winners!

The YA Scavenger Hunt Organizers would like to congratulate this season's winners. This hunt was a little different than our norm. We decided to offer e-book and audiobook downloads as prizes instead of our traditional print books so that everyone, worldwide would feel the hunt was safe and accessible. 

You Guys Kept us Busy!

With over two thousand entries in the hunt, I can tell you there were a lot of anxious book hunters out there this season and it looks like Team Purple just slightly beat out the other teams on entries. Either there was more interest there, or the secret numbers were confusing. I know my pastry secret number on team purple confused some of you. I admit it was a bit more pinkish than purplish. I'll do better next time. ;)

Did You Win?

For those of you wanting to know if you won, I won't keep you waiting any longer. I'll list the grand prize winners first and then the individual author prize winners next. I'll keep adding the author prizes as they filter in over the next day or two so check back on the YASH website if you're waiting to find out about something specific. Don't forget to check the print out sheet to make sure you caught all the contests you entered. If you don't see an author announcement, check their website or tweet them if you can't find the info.
