The Nefarious Nine- Introducing Lahettaa and a Few Giveaways!

Greetings mortals! We have partnered with Penguin Teen and Marie Lu to celebrate Marie’s evilicious book THE ROSE SOCIETY and we are here to announce our villain crew! And today it's my turn *evil laugh*! 

Also make sure to check at the bottom of the post for 3 amazing giveaways and make sure to check in each day of the schedule some of the blogs have special surprise giveaways planned!

I am Lahettaa but my friends (well not friends since I don't have those) rather cohorts call me Hettaa. I am a norse witch or völva as we are called in our native tongue. I have many powers but my main and most important power in my opinion is teleportation. I am not old in looks as are most völva but I am ancient. I am a direct descendant from Freyja the goddess of war, death, love, beauty, and some other unimportant stuff.

Believe it or not I used to be good, well good for the vikings bad for everyone else. I was a warrior witch and I would teleport to the lands that we plundered ahead of time and teleport back to tell my brothers and sisters what to expect when they landed. Yeah Ragnar Lothbrok had my help many times.

I had a great life! I was to be married to a powerful viking warlord but another woman caught his eye and he married her instead. I was the winner in the end. I spelled him so he was infertile and couldn't carry on his bloodline and the woman he married? I took my vengeance another way... Trust me you don't want to know what I did to her it would make you cringe. My brothers and sisters turned on me after that and tried to murder me.

I fled and lived on my own for a long time not wanting to deal with people. I found a small house in a new land and killed anyone who crossed my path. But I got bored living in the same place so I started randomly teleporrting to different lands. I met Fiammata first in Italy (although she's a bit humble and says she didn't help form this group she did) her fire wielding power was horrifying and amazing at the same time and I knew we should work together. We founded the group that is now known as the Nefarious Nine, trust me you do not want to run into any of us in a dark alley or alone on a country road. We like to play and toy with our victims before we kill them. If you are bad we may keep you around to be one of our many lackeys. If you're good beware because we are coming for you. Do you have what it takes to defeat us? I think not.

From New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes the second book in the exhilarating Young Elites series

Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.

Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.

But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?

Special Announcement! Bring YA2U to Northern California and a Giveaway!!!

Have you ever wished that a big YA book tour would make a stop in your hometown? Well, here's your chance for that wish to come true! YA2U is a program that features five award-winning and best-selling authors who are holding a contest to see what city they should visit in an exclusive tour stop!

The authors are collecting votes from January 1 to February 15, and any city in the continental US or any Canadian city that has an international airport can win an exclusive visit from all five authors, including an author panel and book signing! Entering is super easy--and if you help spread the word about the contest, you can also enter win a signed copy of all of their books (TEN signed books in total!)--and the book contest is open internationally!

The authors in the program are:

• Marie Lu, the New York Times best-selling author of Legend and the upcoming Prodigy
• Marissa Meyer, the New York Times best-selling author of Cinder and the upcoming Scarlet
• Beth Revis, the New York Times best-selling author of Across the Universe, A Million Suns, and the upcoming Shades of Earth
• Victoria Schwab, author of The Near Witch and the highly-anticipated upcoming The Archived
• Megan Shepherd, author of the debut novel The Madman's Daughter

And they want to have an event in your home town! To participate, just got to the YA2U website and let them know what city you want them to come to. And while you're there, help spread the word about the contest and you can be entered to win all of their books--TEN signed books in total! 

Here's why the YA2U Team should come to MY hometown! 

Ok well San Francisco isn't my home town but since no one comes to Sacramento (except for Victoria when she's visiting family lol) San Francisco is out best bet. And why should they come here? We have tons of Northern California book bloggers who love to go to signings and then host giveaways after! So if these ladies come here you're guaranteed giveaways on at least 5 to 10 blogs!!!! And also we have a huge group of book lovers here! Some of these authors have never been to San Francisco and they have been to other cities so please help us bring them here!!!!!!

Why should the YA2U Team come to your hometown? Why not join in the fun today and share with others about this program and your hometown. The more votes your town gets, the closer you are to having your very own personal tour stop! Vote for YOUR town here!

And if you help spread the word, you can also participate in the book giveaway. Tell them that you learned about YA2U from me and we both get extra entries in the contest!
