SOOOO EXCITED TO SHOW YOU THIS AWESOME BOOKMAIL I RECEIVED LAST WEEK!

The cover is absolutely stunning!!!

OH MY HEAVENS!!! Starswept is super gorgeous. Love the book without the dust jacket and it has the prettiest chapter page spread I’ve ever seen. Gosh… I’m so in love with this book already and I haven’t even started. The synopsis sounds really unique and amazing. I’m a bit of a sci-fi nerd and love the concept of aliens. If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know how much I love romance in books. Add in mystery, suspense and intergalactic conspiracies and you now have me completely and undeniably intrigued. I’m definitely looking forward to starting this really really soon.

Interior Page Spread – Soooo gorgeous right?!?!

Synopsis: In 2157, the Adryil—an advanced race of telepathic humanoids—contacted Earth. A century later, 15-year-old violist Iris Lei considers herself lucky to attend Papilio, a prestigious performing arts school powered by their technology. Born penniless, Iris’s one shot at a better life is to attract an Adryil patron. But only the best get hired, and competition is fierce.A sudden encounter with an Adryil boy upends her world. Iris longs to learn about him and his faraway realm, but after the authorities arrest him for trespassing, the only evidence she has of his existence is the mysterious alien device he slipped to her.

When she starts hearing his voice in her head, she wonders if her world of backstabbing artists and pressure for perfection is driving her insane. Then, she discovers that her visions of him are real—by way of telepathy—and soon finds herself lost in the kind of impossible love she depicts in her music.

But even as their bond deepens, Iris realizes that he’s hiding something from her—and it’s dangerous. Her quest for answers leads her past her sheltered world to a strange planet lightyears away, where she uncovers secrets about Earth’s alien allies that shatter everything she knows
