Like many, she’s heard of a mythical land simply called “the Blue.” They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows.Īt the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature - freezing. Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Check out the intriguing jacket copy and see if you agree. The thought of another dystopian YA series puts me to sleep, but Frozen caught my attention. Their coauthored YA trilogy Heart of Dread opened with Frozen (2013), set in an imaginatively conceived post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, frozen under the ice. Michael Johnston is no slouch on his own either - he just sold his epic fantasy series to Tor, and the opening volume appears next year. On her own, de la Cruz is also the author of The Au Pairs series, Angels on Sunset Boulevard, Girl Stays in the Picture, and many others. The husband-and-wife team of Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston have some enviable successes under their belt, including the 8-volume Blue Blood series and the Witches of East End novels, which were adapted for the Lifetime network.
