DEFECTOR ARC giveaway!

This is your chance to win the very first ARC of DEFECTOR!
Defector is the sequel to Impostor, which VOYA called "An unpredictable page turner with shades of terror reminiscent of a Stephen King novel."! 

Summary (includes spoilers for book 1): Tessa has finally made peace with her life as a Variant. She and long-time love Alec are officially a couple, and for the first time, she has everything she wants.

But the air is tense at FEA headquarters. An agent has disappeared, and rogue variant organization Abel’s Army is likely the culprit.

When Tessa is summoned for her second mission, she is unexpectedly launched into a massive conspiracy. Her best friend Holly is kidnapped and Tessa knows it was meant to be her. But who is after her? And more importantly, why?

When the FEA’s efforts to rescue Holly don’t yield any results, Tessa takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to save her friend and uncover the mystery behind Abel’s Army, Tessa launches her own investigation—but nothing could prepare her for what she finds. Everyone in her life is harboring secrets: Alec, her estranged mother, even the father she never knew.

The truth will take her out on the road and out of her comfort zone, with danger lurking everywhere. Summoning all of her courage and strength, Tessa must decide who can be trusted and what is worth fighting for—even if it means going against the life she thought she wanted. Her final decision will leave readers breathless.

Defector comes out June 26, 2014. That's less than two months to go! Eeek!
So I thought it was time for a giveaway. You can win a signed ARC of DEFECTOR. I can't wait to share this book with you!!!
The paperback of Impostor is comes out one month from now, on May 29th (almost exactly one year after the hardcover) and as you might know, reviews are VERY important for books, so I thought it would be nice to make this a review appreciation giveaway. That means you'll have to post a review of Impostor (at least 4 sentences) on Amazon or Barnes&Noble or IndieBound or Book Depository for a chance to win. Easy, right? And if you've already posted a review? Perfect. That counts of course! AND it doesn't matter if it was a positive or negative review. Every review counts! The giveaway is international! You can gain extra entries by posting a review on your blog or goodreads, too, as you will see. :)

Lissa Price
Lissa Price’s debut novel STARTERS is an international bestseller published in over thirty countries. Dean Koontz called this YA futuristic thriller “a smart, swift, inventive, altogether gripping story.” STARTERS appeared on many best of lists and won top awards in the Netherlands, Germany and France. Kirkus called the sequel, ENDERS, “delightfully disturbing.” Lissa lives in Southern Calif with deer and coyotes for neighbors.
If you want to find out more about Lissa and her books, check out her website!

The book she's promoting is ENDERS!

The thrilling end to the questions raised in Starters is here. Someone is after Starters like Callie and Michael—teens with chips in their brains. They want to experiment on anyone left over from Prime Destinations—Starters who can be controlled and manipulated. With the body bank destroyed, Callie no longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get inside her mind and make her do things she doesn’t want to do, like hurt someone she loves. Having the chip removed could save her life—but it could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father. Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena’s memories, too . . . and the Old Man is back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen body? No one is ever who they appear to be. Determined to find the Old Man to stop him, and grasping at the hope of a normal life for herself and her younger brother, Callie is ready to fight for the truth. Even if it kills her.

I LOVED this book! A great ending to a great series!!!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT REMOVED
