Welcome first liners! It’s la fête nationale today france-flag and my mother’s birthday! Crepes and croissants all round, and happy birthday Mum! <3
Taking the theme of revolution today, I’m featuring the second book in J. Rodes’ YA dystopian series The Uncloaked Trilogy. Tearing the Veil releases on Monday (17 July), and the Uncloaked are preparing to go on the offensive!

~ About the Book ~

Braxton Luther, the sellout. 
Now a part of the Den, he’s determined to make good on Eliza Knight’s faith in him—to be more than what he’d settled for when the Party had taken over. But his goal is dangerous, and not just for him. As he searches for a way to protect the silent, invisible victims of the new government, Braxton’s mission—which includes finding a way to rescue Eliza from the Reformation Camp—becomes even more complicated. Hannah Knight, Eliza’s sister, is simply too much like him.
Tired of standing in her perfect sister’s shadow, Hannah determines to find her own place in the world. If that place is with the Pride—the girls’ home and training center provided by the Party—so be it. When she leaves the hopelessness of the cellar, that’s all she’s aiming for. But Quinn Sanger, the handsome son of a powerful political leader, finds her at the creek, and her life takes an unexpected and optimistic turn.
Braxton’s convinced Hannah’s in trouble. Hannah’s convinced Braxton, and all the Uncloaked, are insane. But when they peek behind the real veil the Party maintains, the truth is beyond what either had feared or hoped.
If everyone knew, it could change everything. They redefine their mission. It’s time to tear the veil.

    Happy Friday! Happy Birthday to your Mum!
    My first line comes from Julian Fellowes’s Belgravia.
    The past, as we have been told so many times, is a foreign country where things are done differently.

    My first line is from Anne Love’s “The Gardener’s Daughter” in the Of Rags and Riches romance collection.
    Thump, Thump. She could plant herself in a library world such as this one forever.
