A Few Things to Look Forward to in CRESCENDO & win a HUSH HUSH Paperback

Hey everyone!! With less than 48 hours until Crescendo is officially released in the US, the excitement is definitely building! To help hold you over for the last stretch, here are just a few things you can look forward to reading about in Crescendo. Spoiler-free, of course!! ;o)


• Vee Sky- Nora’s best friend is back, and she’s just as boy-crazy as she was in Hush, Hush! Her new leading man might be a surprise, but it’s pretty exciting, too!

• What really happened the night Nora’s dad was murdered? You’ll get to find out soon!! You may think you’ve already got it figured out, but you may be in for a surprise you weren’t expecting.

• Detective Basso- Were you left a little unsure about Det. Basso was a good guy or not in Hush, Hush? I know I was! He left me feeling like there was more to him than met the eye. Well, he’s back for more in Crescendo, which may help make up your mind!

• Rixon- I loved the playful scenes between Patch and his best friend and fellow fallen angel in Hush, Hush, so I was happy he returned for Crescendo! Hopefully you will be, too!

• Marcie Millar- As the Week #3 Cookie of the Week revealed- there’s a catfight that occurs between Marcie and Nora. I have to say, that’s probably one of my favorite scenes in the book! And with Marcie around, you never know what’s going to happen!

• Patch- DUH!! In Crescendo, you get to find out a lot more about Patch, including his real name and where he lives!

There are so many more things that I could add to this list, but I don’t want to give too much away! You’ll just have to make sure you pick up a copy of Crescendo on Tuesday, October 19!

To help celebrate Crescendo’s release, we will be giving away paperback copies of Hush, Hush courtesy of Simon & Schuster. This contest is only open to US residents. To enter, leave a comment below telling us what you’re looking forward to the most about Crescendo.  Be sure to include your email address or a way for us to contact you.  Contest ends Tuesday, October 19 at midnight.

A Favor About Spoilers

Hey guys!! As the release dates for CRESCENDO are upon us and more and more people have and will be reading CRESCENDO let's remember.....


Becca is a master of twists and turns and her books are fabulous at keeping us on the edge of our seats, let's not ruin that for those who haven't read it yet! We ask you this.... please don't give tooo much away on the internet. And maybe you can help encourage others to do the same.

If everyone knew how hard Becca (and all authors) works on her books they would understand why it's so important to help keep the big surprises quiet. We ask that you help keep the secrets, at least for a while Thanks!!

Things That Make us Happy Today!!

We, Jenn & Rebecca, (and Becca too) are in love with the VAMPIRE DIARIES tv show!!  Those of you who follow us on Twitter know just how much we <3 it! (lol sorry for filling your feeds every Thursday night).

Today the soundtrack of songs from Season 1 (last year) and Season 2 (this year) hits stores!!  We just finished downloading it and are listening to it right now!!  If you are going to buy it from Amazon, we'd really appreciate you buying through our affiliate link (all earnings help us run FallenArchangel).

There won't be a new episode this Thursday, but we figure the soundtrack sort of makes up for that ;-)



Also,  today BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS by Kami Garcia & Magaret Stohl hits stores!!  We have had the pleasure of reading an Advance Copy and highly recommend this series!  (Beautiful Darkness is Book 2 in the Beautiful Creatures Series)  Not only are the books great, but the authors are pretty awesome, too!  We'll be running a feature on these books later this month!! 

Of course we must mention how excited we are that the countdown is almost complete for CRESCENDO's big release!!  It hits stores in the UK on Thursday and here in the US next Tuesday!!! (eeeek one more week!)  Some people have been reporting early sightings in their local bookstores, so keep your eyes open!  And once you do find/get CRESCENDO, if you send us a picture of you and it, we just might post it on FallenArchangel!  You can email it to us at admin@fallenarchangel.com

Anything else making this a good Tuesday for you???  Tell us all about it in the comments!!

October's Featured Fiction-- STEAMPUNK!

This month's Featured Fiction is all about Steampunk! If you aren't familiar with exactly what that is here's what Wikipedia has to say about Steampunk:

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.

How stinkin cool does that sound? And the three books we're featuring are killer examples of the aweomeness that is Steampunk. Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series (LEVIATHAN and the new out this week, BEHEMOTH) and Richard Harland's WORLDSHAKER. Please visit our Featured Fiction page on our home site, Fallenarchangel, for book trailers and more.

Thanks to the amazing team at Simon & Schuster we've got 5 copies of each of these amazing titles to give away! So be on the lookout for the remainder of the month of October for your chance to get your very own copy.
