Cover Reveal + Giveaway - All My Life by Rucy Ban
Seventeen-year-old Kari meets
Neil Mars. “Neil as in Armstrong and Mars…as in Bruno.” A boy who beats every
vampire, werewolf, highlander fantasy Kari has ever had. But she knows can’t
get close to him. Not ever. Because that would mean telling him everything.
Coming clean. And Kari can’t bear the idea of changing the way Neil looks at
her. Like she’s the only girl in the world. His reverence is something too
precious to lose. Perhaps even at the cost of losing him.
But Kari doesn't know why Neil
calls her his ‘Angel’ and when she finds out, she realizes what love is all
about. Boundless joy, unending longing and a fuckload of heartache.
EXCERPTS from All My Life:
“I can take care of myself,” I
tell him.
His lips twitch in response.
“Oh, I’m sure you can, little shrub.”
“You are warned!” I take my
voice down a notch and point my ring at him, “I’ll tunnel your leathery knighthood right out of this galaxy!”
Neil suddenly halts in his
tracks and pins me down with eyes. “Batman vs. Green Lantern? Batman wins. Every. Single. Time.”
“Ohmygod! So not true. In
the…”
He cuts me. “One word…yellow.”
I stare at him with my mouth half-open.
“‘Nuff said,” he says smugly
and then tugs on my hand.

Maybe I’ll forget this feeling
someday. Maybe it’ll just be reduced to a memory made up of a flickering gas
heater, the salty dew of his skin and the love in his dark, inky eyes. This
feeling of pure unadulterated joy. Of reaching a high so potent that your
spirit feels like it’s soaring across the universe…and falling from that
glorious peak only to find yourself enveloped in someone’s warm caring hands.
When you feel like you’ve just died or been born, right at the same time.
It could be that I’ll forget
this feeling someday. But I’m sure it won’t be anytime soon. Maybe when I’m a
hundred and looking forward to my lunch of mashed bread. Not one single day
before.
