Have you seen Harlequin's new imprint for teens? In case you've been living in a hole, paranormal is HUGE in the young adult sector right now (can anyone say Stephanie Meyers?). Apparently Harlequin has decided to cash in on the phenomenon by creating HarlequinTEEN. Their website, http://www.harlequinteen.com/, just went live listing the three books that will launch the imprint. The first listed also has a free preview written by author Rachel Vincent. It is the prequel to her new Soul Screamers miniseries, entitled My Soul to Take. After reading the prequel I am not ashamed to admit that I am looking forward to reading the first installment. Rachel Vincent (who you might know from her truly remarkable Shifter series) looks to have a new hit with this Soul Screamers series.
Whatever your opinion on Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, you have to admire her for inspiring so many teens to read. I truly hope that this new imprint takes that interest and fosters a life long love of reading in teens. I think that their first three books have the potential to do just that. I, for one, will be keeping an eye on this imprint. Good thing they have a convenient twitter page where I can do just that: www.twitter.com/HarlequinTEEN
