Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Yep, you aren't hallucinating, you're looking at the official cover for Volition and it's gorgeous!! Huge thanks to the talented Sarah Hansen of Okay Creations. This is one of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen. I can't wait to have it in my hands, and just hug it and love it! The Empire State building is such a beautiful touch, and brings the cover to the next level. The cover is dark, beautiful enigma.
Back Cover Description:
You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that stays with you, then tears you apart slowly at first, and all at once shreds every fiber of your being?
It’s because you’re contradicting the universe.
Everything lines up so perfectly that you couldn’t have imagined it to work out any better, but then you have to go and do everything humanly possible to ruin it because you can’t stand to have it go right?
That’s what I did.
I did it because there’s a darkness that surrounds me, and I think I want it there. My name is Tate McKenna, and my soul is blacker than my heart.
I did it because there’s a darkness that surrounds me, and I think I want it there. My name is Tate McKenna, and my soul is blacker than my heart.
Excerpt #1:
Right now it’s not enough to have just a little bit of Hayden.
I want all of him.
I want to be engulfed by him.
I want him to set me on fire and burn me until I’m nothing but ashes.
And then I want him to set a flame to those ashes, because he’s the only one who
can.
Excerpt #2:
I look up into the sky to see all of the drops falling on the ground before they make contact. I realize the drops have more in common with me than I think. We’re all just falling until we’re not falling, and we don’t really have a choice where we land.
What others thought:
"A read that will keep you on your toes until the very end. Genius!" - Makayla
(The Book Life)
"This is a twisted tale... that you can relate to." - Bryce (Novels to Song)
“Beautifully twisted...A novel that shocks and surprises, and is not your typical
love story. A gripping read filled with complex characters, dark humor and lyrical
writing that leaves you wanting more! Paradis produced a story that carried a lot
of emotion that dealt with love, relationships, and the darkness that surrounds
death and the mark it leaves on those who have escaped it.” - Ashley F. (Falling
Down the Book Hole)
"The story was lined with black and drowned in glitter... Volition is one of those
books that makes you reflect on life's past, present, and future." - Abbey (Books a
la Mode)
"I could not put this beautiful and dark tale of Tate McKenna down! Be with her as she
discovers the impact that free will, fate and the act of letting go can have on a person!” -
Jaclyn (Living in a World of Book Quotes)
