In Perpetuum

About the Book

Fifteen year old Athena Jones is like every other teenage girl. She has friends, hates babysitting and goes to high school. But on the night her parents are murdered, she meets handsome, happy-go-lucky Jack, and everything changes. She receives a letter from her Mom warning her not to contact friends, family or authorities. Suddenly Jack and Athena are thrust into a dangerous game. Her parent’s murderers are hell-bent on capturing them, and will go to terrifying lengths to do it. Chased into the wintery forest, they discover who they are and the risks they’re willing to take to protect each other. A profound story about growing up, first love and finding yourself in a nightmarish world.

About the Author

Emma Irvine spends way too much time reading. Seriously, she spent her entire spring break hunched over a different book every other day. (And earned herself some gnarly reading pains, emotionally and physically) She started writing In Perpetuum when she was 11 and finished when she was 15. Her phone contains way more screenshoted fan-art than actual pictures and if you ask her friends about her it’s pretty well a 100% guarantee they’ll tell you she’s short. She’s currently residing in Vancouver, BC and stuck in that awkward place right before her 16th birthday. And she really, really hope this book makes you cry. Lots. This is her first novel but she plans to publish avidly. If you want to check out more of her work go to LFASbluedogpress.com and click on the little Parish Widget with her face on it. (And yes, she is dressed like a Shadowhunter in this picture.)
