Coming Soon to a Library Near You is a weekly
feature inspired by Jill at Breaking the Spine that looks at upcoming books.
This Week’s Book: Cross My Heart
Author: Sasha Gould
Release Date: March 2012
Summary: Venice, 1585.
When 16-year-old Laura della Scala learns that her older sister, Beatrice, has drowned, she is given no time to grieve. Instead, Laura's father removes her from the convent where he forcibly sent her years earlier and orders her to marry Beatrice's fiancé, a repulsive old merchant named Vincenzo. Panicked, Laura betrays a powerful man to earn her way into the Segreta, a shadowy society of women who deal in only one currency—secrets. The Segreta seems like the answer to Laura's prayers. The day after she joins their ranks, Vincenzo is publicly humiliated and conveniently exiled. Soon, however, Laura begins to suspect that her sister's death was not a tragic accident but a cold-blooded murder—one that might involve the Segreta and the women she has come to trust.

Wow. Sounds like very Boleyn-girl-ish to me. And that cover IS pretty!
Gorgeous cover! It does sound very good, a dangerous secret cult, murder, intrigue and what a setting. :) I hope you enjoy this one!

Thanks ladies, I think I might buy it just for the cover!
This was such a highly effective visitor publish. As an ambitious writer, being rejected is always terrifying (yet so possible) result - if I ever posted my guide, of course. I appreciate Jill for discussing her issues, and I'm so grateful that she made the decision to look previous the denials and perform around them and get her guide out there. That was amazingly brave! Asylum looks fairly exciting, too, so I'll be maintaining an eye out for your evaluation.
Thanks for discussing, you two!
