Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves
Release date: January 2010 by Simon Pulse
Release date: January 2010 by Simon Pulse
Sixteen-year-old Hanna Järvinen is an unusual girl with a head full of hallucinations, a medicine cabinet full of pills, and a closet full of frilly, violet dresses. Everything a girl needs--except love. But that's what mothers are for, and Hanna is sure she can reconcile with hers, even though she was abandoned as a baby. Unfortunately, her mother lives in Portero, an odd East Texas town with doors that lead out of the world, flesh-eating creatures, and parasitical spirits--not an ideal environment for winning a mother's love.
Hanna, however, refuses to let a few monsters interfere with her plans. If she has to flirt a little, lie a little, kill a little, or even bleed a little, she'll do it. Hanna can live with monsters and mayhem, but she would rather die than live without love.
Have you seen a theme in my WoW posts lately? They have all had something to do with the color purple. I just love it and I'm so psyched to see all these covers using purple. This story is different. Just read the synopsis...oooh! Sounds interesting; can't wait!

Great choice. This one is already on my wishlist. Oh, and I agree with purple remarks. ;)
Well, I guess I won't be moving to Portero any time soon after reading what you wrote about the inhabitants! Thanks for the good descriptive info! No wonder you can't wait to read it!
Yikes! That one sounds rather creepy!
