It's time for the fall YA Scavenger Hunt!

 Welcome to the fall 2019 YA Scavenger Hunt! This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors...and a chance to win some awesome prizes! At this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author, you also get a number clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize--one lucky winner will receive one signed book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for 72 hours! 

HELP: If you're confused at any time, you can always get back on track by going to the YA Scavenger Hunt how to hunt page to read the steps. Or, go to the STUCK page for a bird's eye view of all the author's links. 

There are four hunts going on simultaneously with over 80 books up for grabs INTL, and you can enter one or all! I'm a part of the PURPLE TEAM--

but there are also BLUE, GOLD, & RED teams, each with different sets of signed books in their prize packs!

SCAVENGER HUNT POST

For my post in the YA Scavenger Hunt, I'm honored to be hosting Kristin Smith, author of The Deception Game Series:

Kristin Smith is the best-selling and award-winning author of the Deception Game series. When she’s not writing, you can find her planning her next beach vacation, beating her boys at Just Dance, or belting out karaoke (from the comfort of her own home). She’s a Virginia girl at heart, but currently resides in a small North Carolina town with her husband, five sons, two dogs, and one leopard gecko.

For the hunt, Kristin is giving away her book FEARLESS, book three of The Deception Game series:

Told from alternating points of view, the story of Sienna Preston, Trey Winchester, and Zane Ryder continues in this third installment of the thrilling Deception Game series, a sci-fi dystopian saga from best-selling author Kristin Smith.

*When you can't escape, you hide.*

On the run from the government, Sienna and her Fringe companions seek refuge in the primitive Zenith Camp. But navigating the camp isn't easy. It's run by a tough, no-nonsense girl named Paige who has a long, complicated history with Trey. And Sienna's caught right in the middle. Not to mention Sienna is still confused about her lingering feelings for Zane—feelings that are especially useless now that he's returned to Legas to marry his perfect genetic match.

But it turns out Zane has his own set of problems to deal with, and they may force him back on the same path as Sienna, working to uncover a dark government secret. When the government issues a decree that will change the course of history, Sienna and her cohorts are forced out of hiding, ready to resist. Problem is, it may be too late...
