Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin

Summary: Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find something not just to live for, but to fight for—no matter what it costs her.

Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris

Summary: Two days before her junior year, Janelle Tenner is hit by a pickup truck and killed —as in blinding light, her life flashing before her, then nothing. Except the next thing she knows, she's opening her eyes to find Ben Michaels, a loner from her high school whom Janelle has never talked to, leaning over her. And though it isn’t possible, she knows with every fiber of her being that Ben has brought her back to life.
But her revival, and Ben’s possible role in it, is only the first of the puzzles that Janelle must solve. W hile snooping in her FBI agent father’s files for clues about her accident, she uncovers a clock that seems to be counting down to something — but to what? And when someone close to Janelle is killed, she can no longer deny what’s right in front of her: Everything that’s happened—the accident, the countdown clock, Ben’s sudden appearance in her life—points to the end of life as she knows it. As the clock ticks down, she realizes that if she wants to put a stop to the end of the world, she needs to uncover Ben’s secrets—and keep from falling..

Receiving Books/Mailing Books

YOU SHOULD BE POSTING DC THE DAY YOU MAIL!!!

Remember you must keep your book blog updated to participate in tours! You should be updating it at least 2 a week!

ATWT Tours is currently accepting ARC donations!!!!

MAJOR ALERT: Even if I have already marked the book as received you should also be commenting on this post letting me know you received the book. This ensures that you got it safely and keeps the site up to date! PLEASE DO THIS AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE THE BOOK.

Note To Authors-Publishers: If you want to donate an ARC for the tour site, please Email ATWT-I've seen a few bloggers mentioning to authors that they will donate to the tour site if you (the author) send them the ARC first. If you send it to that blogger, I can't offer any guarantee that the book will show up on the tour site. I've noticed people are using the tour site as a third party when requesting ARCs lately. I would recommend contacting me to put the book on the tour site and not going through the third party. This is so EVERYONE gets to read the book and the chance branches out to multiple readers!!!

Note To Bloggers: I don't mind you mentioning the tour site to authors, but please tell them to contact me to put the book up for tour! I even suggest mentioning it because ARCS are so limited and we can share them between lots of people! Please do not ask them to donate it to you, so you can donate it to the site. You can let them know to email me so I can start the tour and send the book to the first participate on the tour (not you). Requests should be going straight through the site.


Please leave a comment here when receiving a book/telling me you linked a review/AND asking to be removed from a tour. This will help unclog the chatbox a little bit.

Please leave DC in the chatbox when mailing a book. Make sure to put everything in the appropriate spot.

Common Questions Regarding ARC Tours

Here are some common questions regarding ARC Tours.

What is Delivery Confirmation?

Delivery Confirmation is tracking. It is purchased at the post office when you mail your book. You ask the clerk for it. Is is required when mailing. Remember, you have one week to keep the book.

When should I post my DC?

DC should always be posted ON or BEFORE your mail date! It must be posted by noon the day after you mail!!!! If you are mailing late and using points, please remember to email me and inform me.

What if I don't post DC by noon the following day?

You will earn the strike.

What if I mail a day late?

Than your DC is due the following day after you mail by noon.

Will I still receive reminder emails about posting DC?

YES, if you did not alert me that you are mailing late! Please fill out the mailing late form on the site so you do not receive reminder emails!

Do reminder emails still equal strikes?

YES! 3 Reminders=1 strike!

What does a Review consist of "Exactly?"

A review is your opinion of the book. As stated in the review tab, a review must be at least 3 paragraphs long. Each paragraph should contain at least 5 sentences. Full reviews are required (3 paragraphs-5 sentences each). If it is shorter, you risk the chance of getting a strike for no review and a non review against your 5 no reviews! Write up more if you please!

When Are Reviews Due?
A review is due a week from when you mail a book. Don't forget to link it. Failure to do either, you take the chance of a strike and a non review against your reviews! I will be randomly checking to make sure everyone is caught up on reviews, so don't get behind!!

What if I dislike a book and don't know how to review it?

You have the option of filling out the decline form. Another suggestion is to do a Didn't Like/Didn't Finish Friday. Some people write a review telling why they didn't finish it/why they didn't like it. Remember, this still must be 3 paragraphs long with 5 sentences each for it to count!!

How can I donate an ARC?

Thank You!

Partials by Dan Wells

SIGNUPS CLOSED

Summary: The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials—engineered organic beings identical to humans—has decimated the population.

Reduced to tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.

Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic in training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws threaten to launch what’s left of humanity into civil war, and she’s not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will discover that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them—connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.

A Want So Wicked by Suzanne Young

SIGNUPS CLOSED

Summary: Elise is a normal seventeen-year-old girl until the day she wakes up in a desert park, with no idea who she is.

After that episode, her life takes a bizarre turn. She’s experiencing unexpected flashes of insight into people’s lives—people she’s never met before. Strangers frighten her with warnings about the approaching Shadows. And although Elise has never had a boyfriend, she suddenly finds herself torn between two handsome but very different young men: Abe, the charming bad boy whose affect on her both seduces and frightens her, and the mysterious Harlin, who’s new to town but with whom Elise feels an urgent, elemental connection—almost as if they are soul mates.

Now Elise begins to question everything about her life. Why do these guys both want her so desperately? What are the Shadows? Why does the name Charlotte inspire a terrifying familiarity? And who is Elise, really?
