Title: Icarus Rise
By: Frankie Rose
Expected publication: Autumn 2013
Genre: New Adult
Blurb:
Iris Breslin is on a mission with
only one goal: escape Breakwater, Wyoming, where her family’s horrific history
is common knowledge. New York couldn’t be more different to her small town
upbringing, but better still, absolutely no one at Syracuse University knows of
the brutal murders her father committed before taking his own life when she was
fourteen years old. For the first time, Iris has friends, a career plan, a
regular life.
Until Jake.
Jake Stafford grew up in
Breakwater. Discovering Charlie Breslin’s body on his first day as a cop may
have snared Jake in the Breslin family nightmare, but the truth is that he was
already involved long before. Now a part of the NYPD, Jake remains entangled in
the five year old mystery—a mystery he intends to solve. That isn’t going to be
an easy task, especially with Iris back in his life. Jake must fight to
convince the girl he loves that his feelings are genuine, and not some sick
obsession with a man who once helped him when no one else would. His hidden
secrets are darker than Iris can possibly imagine, but can she drop her guard
long enough to uncover them?
About
the Author:
As a child, I was always accused of
being bookish because I wore glasses- big, horrible, ugly ones with too-thick
lenses. Those kids, the super smart ones who always know which tender
insecurities to poke at in order to provoke life-long complexes, used to accuse
me of reading too many books and that my eyes were going to rot out of my head
(their words, not mine!)
The truth of the matter was a
little more embarrassing: I used to sit too close to the T.V. That was the
reason why I had to wear glasses, but kids don’t really care about small,
insignificant details like the truth, and so I was labelled a nerd. The label
kinda stuck, and after some sage advice from my awesome nana (nana, you rock!)
I decided that if I was going to be abused for my supposed literary obsession,
I might as well develop one.
I guess that’s how I got into books
and reading at an early age. Since then, I’ve been ripping through books like
they’re going out of fashion, which, thankfully, they’re not. Good thing, too,
because I’m a writer now, and books are my business!
Thank you to everyone who has
supported and encouraged me on my journey- look for your names in the acknowledgements!
