SCARLET by Marissa Meyer Excerpt & Giveaway!

Earlier this year I participated in a blog tour to celebrate the release of the second book in Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series, Scarlet.  As part of that tour, Marissa wrote an awesome post on the gruesome side of fairy tales (which you know was right up my alley...), and you should definitely go check it out.

And while you're out and about, you should probably stop by my review of Scarlet and see what I thought.

BUT FIRST, you should totally check out this excerpt from Scarlet, and enter to win copies of both Cinder and Scarlet below!

Scarlet escaped into the midnight air and the noise faded without the warehouse's echo around her. She could hear the sirens now, mixing with the thrum of crickets. On the dirt road outside the building, she spun in a full circle as the crowd jostled around her.
There was no sign of Wolf.
She thought she'd seen him turn right. Her ship was parked to the left. Her pulse was racing, making it hard to breathe.
She couldn't leave. She hadn't gotten what she'd come for.
She told herself that she would be able to find him again. When she'd had time to gather her wits. After she talked to the detectives and persuaded them to track Wolf down and arrest him and find out where he'd taken her grandmother.
Tuckering her hands into her pockets, she hurried around the building, toward her ship.
A sickening howl stopped her, sucking the air out of her lungs. The night's chatter silenced, even the loitering city rats pausing to listen.
Scarlet had heard wild wolves before, prowling the countryside in search of easy prey on the farms.
But never had a wolf's howl sent a chill down her spine like that...

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The fates of Cinder and Scarlet collide as a Lunar threat spreads across the Earth...


Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner.
