Pwned Cover Reveal and Giveaway!

Author Shannen Crane Camp was kind enough to allow me to do a cover reveal of her upcoming novel Pwned, scheduled for release April 30. And no, for all of you non-gamers, I didn't spell that wrong. It's a gamers term (pronounced like owned with a p on the front). You can read what it means here.

She's also giving away a copy of Pwned. Enter using the Rafflecopter at the bottom of the post.

Without further adieu, here's the cover and beneath that, the blurb and a teaser of my review (yes, it pays to know the author since she let me read it first!). And, just for fun, Shannen's latest hilarious video blog where she talks about Pwned.

Reagan West has a perfect life. She’s at the top of the high school food chain as co-captain of the cheerleading squad and she’s best friends with the most evil girl in Albany, Tawny Perez, which means she’s never on the receiving end of her wrath. The only trouble in Reagan’s perfect life comes from the constant threat of her dirty little secret leaking to her fellow classmates and casting her into a lifetime of ridicule.

Reagan West is a closet gamer and hates her role as the evil cheerleader.

But, as any well versed teenager knows, it’s better to suppress your own nerdy tendencies than to submit to a lifetime of being shoved into lockers and so, Reagan bravely soldiers through life as a reluctant bully… until a boy from her guild moves to her school and becomes Tawny’s next target. The newcomer threatens to reveal Reagan’s nerdy little secret and force her to come to terms with who she truly is. Now Reagan has to decide if she’s going to defend her fellow geeks, or if she’ll continue to be a total troll.

My thoughts:

This is just a small portion of my review. You'll have to come back when Shannen releases the book to read the full thing.

If you are a gamer, you're going to love Pwned. If you're not a gamer, you're going to love Pwned.

Shannen Crane Camp has managed to pull off quite a feat: a book about gamers that's so interesting, chanrming, and captivating that it doesn't matter whether you know what an expansion pack or DPS is. Pwned is a charming, funny, current, nerd-infested page-turner reminiscent of The Shop Around the Corner, or You've Got Mail.

This is definitely one you'll want to put on your TBR list!

Thanks, Shannen, for allowing me to share your cover with the world.
