An epic adventure awaits you in one of the latest offerings in young adult fantasy--Joined, the first book in a series of the same name by author Mara Gan, reminds us that even the chosen ones have a difficult time understanding why they are the chosen one. Or, as the tagline reads, that PROPHECIES SUCK. And it really, really gets in the way of things when you can read other peoples minds.

Which, hello? Obviously. Mara Gan is here to compel and entertain you with Joined. Best of all, she has a stellar giveaway for anyone who wants to enter that not only includes a little something special for her fans but also, for a charity of their choice. How amazing is that? So, let's kick back, relax and celebrate the release of Joined (it was published a month ago, on September 12th) and hope for a little luck for one of my favourite giveaways this year.
