May's #JLBgivesawayanINDIE: POWERED & OVERPOWERED paperbacks + Hot Topic gift card

GUYS. There is some super-cool *big* news about Cheyanne's POWERED series coming up very soon... but before it's announced, I get to do a quick giveaway! *throws coffee bean confetti* 

There aren't a whole lot of superhero YA books out there at the moment, especially with a teenaged female superhero MC. I loved the entire premise of POWERED (and especially loved Evan--hehe), and I think you'll like this series as well!

POWERED's blurb:

Maci Might's sixteenth birthday is supposed to be the day she's awarded Hero status. But thanks to a tiny anger problem and a questionable family tree, King City's elders think it's best if she doesn't join the Hero ranks. Determined to change their minds, Maci will break whatever rule it takes to prove she's Hero material. As her hair darkens and her anger grows, everyone turns against her except Evan; a childhood friend turned scientist who may be able to unlock the secrets hidden in her DNA. 

When a villain attacks King City and her dad is held prisoner, Maci discovers a truth she refuses to believe. She may not be a Hero after all—but this time the Heroes of King City need her more than she needs them. And she won't let them down. 

I could share OVERPOWERED's blurb, too, but you know. Spoilers. So let's just say that it's a fun book two, and both are totally worth checking out! :)

Please note that "75" there means celebrating 75 years of
Batman. It does not mean I will be giving away a $75 gift card. ;)

This month's giveaway lasts for two weeks and is US only (sorry international friends!)

Along with a paperback of both POWERED and OVERPOWERED, I'm also giving away some fun swag AND a $5 Hot Topic e-gift card!!!

Woo! Are you ready to help me celebrate some upcoming BIG news? Then enter the Rafflecopter below, and spread the word!

Waiting on Wednesday -- Overpowered

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine.  

  This week's can't-wait-to-read pre-publication book is Overpowered. 

Overpowered

by Cheyanne Young
Publication date: August 1st, 2014

From Goodreads:

After rescuing Nova from a life of evil, Maci fears she's made a huge mistake. As if she didn't have enough trouble fitting in with her fellow Supers, Nova outshines Maci in personality and power.

In the midst of this one-sided sibling rivalry, humans are dropping dead from a powerful drug that originates in the underground tunnels of King City. Someone is a traitor and Maci wants to capture the villain before anyone else—especially Nova.

With Nova in the spotlight, Maci needs to set aside her jealousy before more humans die and the future of King City is changed forever.
