Today, we kick off our April Book of the Month — featuring Black Heart and the Curse Workers series by Holly Black. I am a HUGE fan of these books, and Black Heart — the final book in the series and in stores tomorrow — is absolutely stellar. We’ve got a really exciting month planned for you, including hearing from Holly herself, so don’t miss it!
Here is your April 2012 desktop wallpaper calendar featuring Black Heart, and scroll down for a complete synopsis!
Cassel Sharpe knows he’s been used as an assassin, but he’s trying to put all that behind him. He’s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He’s trying to do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is inextricably connected with crime. And he’s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is smart, even though he’s been raised to believe the government is the enemy.
But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what’s right and what’s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what’s a con and what’s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet—this time on love.
