Those of you who follow me on twitter probably knows that Crystal from Crystal in Bookland have been busy planning something secret. Well, the secret has finally been revealed!
Crystal and I have been talking to each other about how much we just LOVE Joy N. Hensley’s Rites of Passage. For those of you who don’t know what book I’m talking about, you’re really missing out, so I included information about the book, just for you, below.
Rites of Passage
Author: Joy N. Hensley
Series: None
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance, Mystery
Release Date: September 9, 2014
Publisher: HarperTeen
Summary:
So Sam joins the first-ever class of girls at the prestigious Denmark Military Academy. She’s expecting push-ups and long runs, rope climbing and mud-crawling. As a military brat, she can handle an obstacle course just as well as the boys. She’s even expecting the hostility she gets from some of the cadets who don’t think girls belong there. What she’s not expecting is her fiery attraction to her drill sergeant. But dating is strictly forbidden and Sam won’t risk her future, or the dare, on something so petty…no matter how much she wants him.
As Sam struggles to prove herself, she discovers that some of the boys don’t just want her gone — they will stop at nothing to drive her out. When their petty threats turn to brutal hazing, bleeding into every corner of her life, she realizes they are not acting alone. A decades-old secret society is alive and active… and determined to force her out.
At any cost.
Now time’s running short. Sam must decide who she can trust…and choosing the wrong person could have deadly consequences.
Hint: If you’re looking for a book with a great supportive love interest, ALL THE FEELS, and intense moments that will make you want to bang your head on the wall, then Rites of Passage is the book for you. Not sold yet? Check out my fangirling review of Rites of Passage.
