The S.O.S. Book of the Week is:
The S.O.S. Book of the Week is 'The Flappers Vixen' by Jillian Larkin. This debut novel comes out December 14th, 2010. 'The Flappers Vixen' is a welcome departure from the supernatural high school romps I've been reading lately. Here's a blurb from Goodreads on this upcoming title:
"Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.
Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?
Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .
Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .
From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes."This is the first book in a series and will be the first book I've read (or heard about on the YA market) that is set in the roaring twenties. Who knows, maybe it will start a trend?
