LITTLE MISS EVIL book birthday, review & contest

I am so, so excited to celebrate the book launch of LITTLE MISS EVIL, written by the amazing Kristy and Bryce Shen.  I met them while powering through the contest and query trenches a few years ago and immediately fell in love with their witty writing style. Then I got to read an early version of LITTLE MISS EVIL, and I was completely blown away.

My review (also on Goodreads):

Fiona lives inside a volcano, rides to school in a helicopter, and gets birthday gifts of the exploding and flame throwing variety. It's what you'd expect from the daughter of a super villain, but Fiona wants no part of it. She would do just about anything to avoid following in her Evil Genius father's footsteps, but when her dad is kidnapped her plans for a normal life are thrown into a tailspin as she fights to rescue him, and the city, from destruction.

I had the good fortune of getting to read an early version of this book, and I can't tell you how much I loved it. The world Fiona lives in is at times laugh-out-loud funny as she struggles to balance the normal life she wants and the reality of the super villain life she's surrounded by. I especially loved her evil genius father and his antics, although the whole cast of characters is unique, well developed and highly entertaining. I can't wait for the rest of the world to get a chance to read it and love it too. Highly recommend!!!

Cover Reveal: LITTLE MISS EVIL

You guys, I'm soooo excited to get to share the cover for the amazing LITTLE MISS EVIL!! I got to read an early draft (Kristy is one of my critique partners, and she's crazy talented) and I can't wait for the rest of the world to get to experience LITTLE MISS EVIL and all it's awesome. Here's a little bit about the story:

When you live in a volcano, ride to school in a helicopter, and regularly see your dad on the news with the caption “EVIL GENIUS” underneath his picture, it takes a lot to rattle you.

Until you get a message that says: We have your father. Deliver the NOVA in 24 hours or we will kill him.

What’s a NOVA, you ask? It’s a nuclear bomb capable of turning the city into a radioactive mushroom cloud, and ever since Fiona’s dad built it, it’s caused nothing but grief. But telling him to stop building weapons is like telling Michelangelo to stop painting.

And that’s why thirteen-year-old Fiona has a flamethrower strapped to her arm. After all, who’d mess with a girl who can throw fireballs?

You can't blame me for gushing, can you? So without further ado, here is the cover for LITTLE MISS EVIL:

Title: Little Miss Evil

The only bad part is that we have to sit on our hands until the book comes out in March.  But trust me when I say it's well worth the wait. :)

About the authors:

Bryce and Kristy are a tag-team writing duo with way too many voices in their heads. As engineers living in Toronto, they can’t be safely contained by mere cubicle walls, and therefore must spend every other waking moment writing to keep the crazy from leaking out at the office. When not writing or working, they spend their time parachuting into volcanoes and riding polar bears while tossing dynamite at rabid kangaroos. Yup, that’s right. Sometimes they can’t even believe how awesome their lives are.
