The Collector (Dante Walker #1)
by Victoria Scott
From Entangled Teen
Release Date: April 2nd, 2013
Paperback/e-book
400 pages


Book Description

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big, red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions deeply buried.

What it Feels Like to Be Famous
By Victoria Scott


People ask me all the time, “Hey, Victoria, how does it feel to be famous?” And I say, “It feels awesome, what do you think?”

The thing is, if I’m being honest, it can be a bit exhausting. For example, this morning, the paparazzi were on me before I could even leave the house. They were blowing up my telephone (Why doesn’t anyone say telephone anymore? I’m bringing it back), and they were all, “Oh, Victoria, we want interviews and photo opps and quality time with your cats.” And I’m all, “Look, my chauffeur is here. Gotta run. Ciao.”

When you’re famous, you have to look good all the time. Though it’s easy when you have a staff of stylists. And don’t worry, you can easily afford said stylists because you’re rich. Because you are an author. Obvi. Also, when you’re famous, you’re required to have autograph pens on you at all times. Everyone will ask for your John Hancock: your waiter, your dry cleaner, your mom. Though personally, I don’t do autographs for my mom. Or dad. I’m too famous for parents now.

Being famous can feel like a burden. But it’s a burden I have to carry. In fact, it’s a burden every author has to endure. Because we wrote a book, and that my friends, is big time.

Gotta run. Michelle Obama is blowing up my telephone. I think it’s because she heard that I’m an author now.

Err, never mind. It was my husband calling. He said he’ll be home in ten and are there any groceries and why didn’t I go to the store and was I pretending to be famous again?

I don’t like his tone.

I’m way too famous for his tone.

  13. That gave me a good laugh for the day! Just think, if you ever get tired of writing you could do stand-up comedy. I bet you would be just as great at it as you are at authoring. I haven't read The Collector as yet but I'm dying to. I've got to get my hands on the book before this Kermitty green color becomes permanent:)! Thanks for awesome giveaway!
