Read Chapter One here
Clever, creepy, creative, and seductive, Unraveling Isobel is my new favorite ya title. Full of Gothic appeal and details--a creepy, moss-covered mansion fallen into disrepair bulging with dusty antiques hand-crafted by dead ancestors, portraits of said dead ancestors peering down from its ancient walls, a step-father who reeks of disdain and old money, a mother who is so in love with wacktastic step-father that she can't even see what a horse's patooty he is, and a hot and sexy step-brother--all part of Isobel's new life.

Oh, Pamela!! I LOVE gothics and ghostly tales - Unraveling Isobel sounds wonderful! Wouldn't you just love to have a crumbling mansion filled with all those dusty antiques?! Minus any ghosts, that would be heaven for me lol
Anyway, thank you for yet another marvelous giveaway. And here is wishing you a Christmas Season filled with Joy & oodles of *book love* :)
Great giveaway! I can't wait to read this one!

I'm very interested in seeing how the step-family plot goes... They always seem to have an "evil" label on them, so I hope this book departs from that.
Thanks for the giveaway and Happy New Year!
