BAM.
There’s your new super-heroine, coming September 2013, courtesy of Tu Books.
Here’s the jacket copy:

This is not a once upon a time story.

Years ago, seventeen-year-old Apache hunter Lozen and her family lived in a world of haves and have-nots. There were the Ones—people so augmented with technology and genetic enhancements that they were barely human—and there was everyone else who served them.

Then the Cloud came, and everything changed. Tech stopped working. The world plunged back into a new steam age. The Ones’ pets—genetically engineered monsters—turned on them and are now loose on the world.

Fate has given seventeen-year-old Apache hunter Lozen a unique set of survival skills and magical abilities that she uses to take down monsters for the remaining Ones, who have kidnapped her family.

But with every monster she kills, Lozen’s powers grow, and she connects those powers to an ancient legend of her people. It soon becomes clear to Lozen that she is meant to be a more than a hired-gun hunter.

Lozen is meant to be a hero.

This book isn’t being released until September, so I will hold off my review to the end of the month, but I want you to know that IT IS KILLING ME, people, KILLING. ME. to do so. But, I do it for you. For you, dear readers. But, mainly so I don’t have to hear all the grumbling about “why can’t I have this book NOW.” Yeah, yeah, just give it a month, all right? I’m sure we Cybils folk, at least, will be seeing this one again. Meanwhile, enjoy the author bio:

About the author

tanita s. davis is a writer and avid reader who prefers books to most things in the world, including people. That's ...pretty much it, she's very boring and she can't even tell jokes. She is, however, the author of nine books, including Serena Says, Partly Cloudy, Go Figure, Henri Weldon, and the Coretta Scott King honored Mare's War. Look for her new MG, The Science of Friendship in 1/2024 from Katherine Tegen Books.
