MELT by Selene Castrovilla | Last Syllable Books | August 2014
Melt is a brutal love story, set against the backdrop of The Wizard of Oz. Sixteen year old “good girl” Dorothy just blew into the small town of Highland Park – where the social headquarters is Munchkinland (Dunkin’ Donuts.) There, she meets Joey – a “bad boy” who tells no one about the catastrophic domestic violence he witnesses at home. Can these two lovers survive peer pressure, Joey’s reputation, and his alcoholism? And then there’s his family's secret – about to be unleashed.Told in dual first person, Joey's words are scattered on the page - reflecting his broken state. Dorothy is the voice of reason - until something so shattering happens that she, too, may lose her grip. Can their love endure, or will it melt away? Melt is based on true events. It is both a chilling tale of abuse, and a timeless romance. It will hit you like a punch in the face, and also seep through the cracks in your soul. What do you think of the cover?

Oooh I really like this cover! Very pretty and eye catching.
OdgovoriIzbrišiThat's such an interesting cover! I definitely really like it. Also that blurb! The book sounds awesome although I'm worried about the "brutal love story".
OdgovoriIzbrišiThanks for sharing!
I'm curious about it. Thanks, Nick :)
IzbrišiOooo I love it!!! It's so pretty and eerie. I'm always a sucker for mist/fog on a cover, and I love the yellow brick road and how it's a bit more dilapidated than the bright and shiny one readers might normally expect.
OdgovoriIzbrišiI'm really glad you like it. Thanks, Jenny :)
IzbrišiI love how they used the picture of that Abandoned Wizard of Oz theme park on the cover. It's perfect! The story sounds interesting as well even if it is a contemporary spin on things. Really neat!
OdgovoriIzbrišiReally? I had no idea! :) Thanks Krisitin :)
IzbrišiThanks for hosting!

OdgovoriIzbrišiYeah it seems spooky! :)
IzbrišiI really like the cover, very cool font! And who doesn't love a yellow brick road homage in an Oz update story? Thanks for sharing! :-)
OdgovoriIzbrišiIt seems it is! :) Thanks Lauren :)
