Outpost Pre-order giveaway!

So you guys know that I LOVED Enclave by Ann Aguirre. Did you not know? Then go here to read my review or here to see that it was my favorite book of 2011.

This week brought a flurry of news for fans of the series!

First up a cover reveal for Outpost – book two in the Razorland series.



Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Release date: September 4th, 2012
Pre-order: Outpost (Razorland book #2)
Order: Enclave (Razorland book #1)


Deuce’s whole world has changed. Now living topside in a community called Salvation, she has a whole new set of problems. Down below, she was considered an adult, and she contributed to the whole. Now, topside, the people of Salvation think she’s a brat in need of training. She hates school, and she doesn’t fit in with the other girls. They’ve spent their lives learning to cook and sew–suitable woman’s work. Deuce only knows how to fight. To make matters worse, Fade keeps her at a distance, and the band of four has broken into fragments.

Stalker presses for a closer relationship, but Deuce sees him as a training partner, and she’s busy trying to find her place in Salvation. She refuses to accept that she’s wrong for being who she is, but tensions rise as she struggles against the status quo. Her feelings for Fade haven’t changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

Once she’s free from school for the year, Deuce pursues a chance to serve in the summer patrols–those responsible for making sure the growers and planters can work the fields without danger of Freak attack. It should have been routine, little fighting, but things have been changing on surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks are smarter. They’re watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don’t intend to let Salvation survive, and it will take a girl like Deuce to turn the tide. ~ goodreads

I was lucky (extremely lucky) to have read an early version of Outpost and it was amazing! AMAZING. Outpost is an emotional roller coaster with lots of swoony moments, character growth for everyone and a few moments so noooooooo worthy that I had to DM Ann & say “You did NOT just do that!!”

Interested now?

Ann is celebrating the big cover reveal on her blog with an awesome giveaway. You can win 1 signed, personalized copy of Enclave & 1 signed, personalized ARC of Outpost – just head over to her website to enter. Winner announced on Cinco de Mayo.

While you’re waiting for Outpost you can read Endurance – a free (for now) Razorland novella featuring Thimble & Stone from Enclave over at Heroes and Heartbreakers. Grab a tissue. These two made me want to wrap them up in a giant group hug. Loved it!

  1. I haven't read Enclave. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while, I've just been debating on whether to read it now or just wait until this one is closer. So, I guess I'll hope that there's more of whatever I end up loving ;)

    Thanks for the chance.

  4. I haven't read Enclave yet and I'm still planning on buying myself a copy so I think when I have the second book I can already decide if I will buy or not but all in all I think its a great book!

  5. Ohhh ... I wonder what life's going to be like "above" and to get some answers on what made the Freaks the way they are. Enclave left me with waaay too many open questions!

    ReplyDelete
  6. i haven't read the first one, so I'm not sure!! Thank you for the contest :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think that they above ground since the title mentions out post and more freaks

    ReplyDelete
  8. I think living above ground & with people who have such a different upbringing is going to make things difficult for Deuce. And I can hardly wait to see what happens! :)
    (I, too, loved Enclave.)

  9. I haven't read Enclave,but i'm planning to do that soon!

  10. I LOOOOOVVVED Enclave and am so happy to see this! I like the sound of the second installment - sometimes safety is...a little boring? I'm heading straight to Amazon to preorder and then to Goodreads to slap it in my to-reads. This is an auto-buy for me. Thanks for the review, Karen (and the heads-up on the novella! Squeee!!)!

  12. I think deuce and fade have a fight but she finds out he still loves her by saving her life :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. I hope Deuce discovers a way to clear the area of Freaks for a while...unlikely but I can hope! :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I hope Deuce makes them see true girl power.

  15. Ahhh, I really hope Deuce and Fade get back together. <3 And, of course, that Deuce saves the day, hehe. I adored Enclave!

  18. I would love if Deuce and Fade got back together :) edysicecreamlover18@gmailDOTcom

  19. I really hope Deuce gets recognized for her skills by the village she is in now and also hope that Fade will start talking to her again. Can I also say that I hope Stalker will hop off of Deuce because I don't like him very much D:<

  20. I haven't had a chance to read Enclave yet, so I'm not sure what to hope for. I just know it will be an awesome story because I've loved everything I've read that Ann Aguirre has written.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not finished with Enclave yet but I hope nothing too bad lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope Deuce kicks major ass in Outpost!! It's been a little bit too long for me to remember Enclave. So I can't really say lol....but major ass kicking is a must!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Thanks for the giveaway! I hope we find out more about Deuce's world - how it got to be that way, what's going to happen to the people she left behind, what the new people are like and how they live, etc.

  24. I am a big fan of dystopia. I've also had Enclave for a while. But sometimes I like to keep the book to read with the next one. So i think i will probably keep it till Outpost comes out!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I think Stalker will pursue Deuce and there will be a love triangle. But I don't like him very much so I'm still rooting for Fade on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I haven't read Enclave yet so I don't know what to expect. But I've read a lot of great reviews about it so I think it'll be really good :)
    Thanks a lot for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  27. How the Freaks got to where they are....and what is ahead for Deuce. Great book. I can't wait

    ReplyDelete
  28. I just hope things get better with Deuce. I think by the end of Enclave she was a bit confused with her feelings and the fact that they are fighting for survival.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I can't begin to speculate. I don't have a writer's imagination.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I think that the freaks are going to hit the little town they felt and no one is going to believe that Fade and Deuce are capable of helping until it's too late. (Rafflecopter Name: Michael Byers)

  31. I just want to know how Duce survives. I know there are going to be many more trials in store.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I absolutely LOVED Enclave and am hoping Deuce and Stalker become a serious couple :)

  34. Once again, I hang my head in shame. I own Enclave, but havent read it. You know I'm constantly stalking you for the best book recs. I knew you really like Enclave, but i didn't know just how much you love it. I'm bumping Enclave way up my list. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I haven't read Enclave yet - it's been screaming at me from the mountain for a long time. You've given me extra initiative now ;)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I have yet to read Enclave but I've been hearing that it's good. I'm going to read it soon however :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Again, like many others here I haven't read the Enclave yet but hope to do so very soon! Thanks for a great giveaway, Karen! :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well, I just wish for Fade and Deuce to be together. Still hating her for being with that asshole :p Not forgiving her for it. Not after what he did to Fade. Hates it :\ But, still so excited for the next book :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well...I read Enclave so long ago and honestly I can't remember much, except that I totally loved it! It was awesome. I guess I'm interested to see what happens next with the Freaks, whether they have some big victory or not. And of course meet some new characters!

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I haven't read Enclave yet but it is definitely on my TBR list!

  44. Enclave is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.But I'll read it close to the release date of Outpost because I have heard it ends on a major cliffhanger

    ReplyDelete
  45. Honestly, I haven't read Enclave yet. I *just* got my hands on a copy and am holding out for Outpost so I can read them back to back. So all I can say is that I hope it is awesome, and I'm sure it will be as everyone has said so :)

  48. I cannot wait to see how they adjust to living in the Outpost. They have been struggling for so long on their own that I'm not sure they will fit in very well with this new group.

    Thanks for the giveaway!
