This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors... and a chance to win some awesome prizes!

On this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize--one lucky winner will receive one book from each author on the hunt in my team! 

​But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 120 hours!

Go to the YA Scavenger Hunt page to find out all about the hunt. There are SEVEN contests going on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the PINK TEAM--but there are also RED, BLUE, GREEN, GOLD, ORANGE, & PURPLE teams for a chance to win a whole different set of books!

Today, I am hosting Olivia Wildenstein on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!

Olivia is an USA TODAY Bestselling author. She grew up in New York City where she attended a French lycée before heading to Brown University. When she’s not writing, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, baking up a storm (that she actually eats), going to the gym (because she eats), and attempting not to be late at her children’s school (like she is 4 out of 5 mornings, on good weeks).

The Vampire Diaries with faeries. Welcome to Rowan...
​
Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.

Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery.

Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.

As we made preparations for Mom’s burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people.

I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies--my ancestors--were beginning to awaken.

Fans of Kresley Cole and Stephenie Meyer will adore Wildenstein's new Faerie-tale series.

Check out the playlist Olivia wrote Rose Petal Graves to.
