The Artists Trilogy — Publication Dates 2013 + new cover

First, let’s get the bad news out of the way.

I know I said Shoot­ing Scars was com­ing out in July, but it just got pushed back to August 20th. Why? Grand Cen­tral Publishing’s team felt they could do me and the book bet­ter jus­tice this way and donate more man­power to pub­lic­ity. It’s a pretty good rea­son that I think will ben­e­fit every­one in the end.

They know that you, the read­ers, will be dis­ap­pointed by this news and they want to appease you (and me!). I will be work­ing with GCP’s pub­lic­ity depart­ment to come up with some treats for you — maybe along the lines of post­ing the first chap­ter to soften that Sins cliffhanger blow? Maybe giv­ing away THREE Cam­den bracelets in this blog post? Well, that’s not a maybe…I’m going to per­son­ally do it, so keep read­ing to enter.

So there you go. August 20th is the offi­cial release date of Shoot­ing Scars (will be on Nook as well as Ama­zon and all the major e-retailers at the same time).

Book #3 Bold Tricks (work­ing title) is being released on Octo­ber 15th. Hey, just a two-month wait!

Sins & Nee­dles and On Every Street will both be taken over by the pub­lish­ers next month in early June. This ALSO means that On Every Street will finally be avail­able on Nook at that time.

Once again, I’m sorry to dis­ap­point you with this push­back but there’s obvi­ously very lit­tle that I can do about it. The pub­lish­ers said they’d try to get it pub­lished in July but some­times things don’t work out and they are try­ing to get things to work in my favor.

So, please, keep that in mind. It actu­ally hurts my soul to see read­ers being upset with me over this or upset in gen­eral. Your sup­port for me and my new pub­lish­ers is MUCH appreciated.

Mean­while, here’s the NEW cover for Sins & Needles.

Yup! It’s pretty much the same, except white font and my name is ridicu­lously big. So happy they kept the cover, I love it!

Have you missed all the teasers I’ve posted about Shoot­ing Scars so far? Take a look:

Back to the first “I want to make you happy” give­away. Three Cam­den bracelets here. I just got them today and am really happy with them!

The win­ners will receive one of these as well as a signed sur­prise goody! To enter, just leave a com­ment below and on May 14th (the date I hand in Shoot­ing Scars to my edi­tor!) and I’ll pick three win­ners. Open internationally!

    An extra month isn’t too long.…and shoot­ing scars will be a book worth wait­ing for i think ! And then the next in octo­ber. :-D

  2. Sherre L says

    It sucks that I’ll have to wait longer…but at least I know that means the book will be just that much more awe­some. Some­times shit happens…and we all under­stand that (or we should) I’m wish­ing my cal­en­dar away as we speak. I hope I win the bracelet!!!

  3. Kathy C. says

    Hey I still love ya and will semi-happily wait til August. Good things come to those who wait or so I’ve heard.

  4. monique leclaire says

    I espe­cially loved sins and nee­dles. Cam­den mcqueen is sooo hot and per­fect for ellie am count­ing down the months till I can get shoot­ing scars. Best book I have read for ages!
    team cam­den :)

  5. EROTICAT says

    Lov­ing me a badass hero­ine, she’s not a vir­gin and doesn’t rehome kit­tens but boy can this girl sur­vive and ulti­mately she’s fight­ing for good. Ellie is my super­hero. <3 I’ve got a thing for bad boy Javier but con­flicted because I can’t for­give a cheat. :(

  6. Rashika says

    I am really happy for you. Even if this is push­ing the release date of Shoot­ing Scars by 2 months but it’s all good because if any one deserves this it’s you.
    I am really excited for the book though and hope­fully the wait won’t kill me.

  7. Mary R says

    Con­grat­u­la­tions on the book deal– you deserve great suc­cess! Your books are awe­some! I’m so glad I was able to meet you in Boston at the BAE.

    ****I’m team Cam­den ALL the way!!!! Please pick me!

  8. Len Francisco says

    No, don’t apol­o­gize. It’s good that the pub­lisher wants your book to be per­fect. And it’s not really a long wait. Excited to read Shoot­ing Scars.

  9. Leslie Trimble says

    I love Sins & Nee­dles and On Every Street and I can­not wait for Shoot­ing Scars! Thank you so much for the awe­some series and doing a fab­u­lous giveaway!

  10. Kait @ The Reading Vixens says

    Obvi­ously I’m upset a teensy bit about the release date being pushed back, but I’m SO EXCITED for you! I can’t wait to have Cam­den in my hands! Or Javier! Or Cam­den? Javier…? Damn, I CAN’T DECIDE! Maybe Shoot­ing Scars will help me out.

  11. Michele G Miller (@chelemybelles) says

    I want I want I want the nerdy glasses Cam bracelet! I also seri­ously want Shoot­ing Scars but you know this already! One month or one year..whenever it comes out I will be claw­ing at the door (or lit­tle one-click but­ton) to get it. Keep those sexy lit­tle Cam­den pics and teases com­ing girl — I’ve got to have some­thing to live for ;)

  12. Marilyn Adam says

    I have revised my book cal­en­dar so I can get “Shoot­ing Scars” the day it comes out!!! I am a fan of Cam­den all the way but have to admit that Javier is hot. Like every­one else I can­not wait to see what hap­pens in the next book. (FYI — “On Any Street” was also fan­tas­tic — to see the dif­fer­ent POV’s was so exciting).

  13. emma says

    Absolutely bril­liant!!! Loved first two books. Can’t wait for next two. Cam­den and ellie have inspired my new tat­too!!! Obsessed. XXX

  14. Ana Rita Nunes says

    Love your books Karina! I’m sure ‘Shoot­ing Scars’ will be worth the wait and we have ‘Come Alive’ next month! Con­grats for the deal, more than deserved, your books are some of my favorites, great sto­ries and really charis­matic char­ac­ters with awe­some taste in music. Hope­fully some­day I’ll be re-reading them in por­tuguese. Best wishes for a con­tin­ued suc­cess from a por­tuguese fan.

  15. Jeannie S. says

    Con­grat­u­la­tions on all your suc­cess! You have become an auto-buy author, one that I (and so many oth­ers) just can’t get enough of. I am look­ing for­ward to read­ing the rest of the series, and all your future books.

  16. Nina says

    The bracelets are ridicu­lously awe­some! I’d love to win one.

    And don’t worry about Shoot­ing Scars being pushed back a lit­tle. It’s worth the wait and like I said at HH, you’re a freak­ing won­der for pub­lish­ing this many books with such a high qual­ity every year. And if it’s good for your pub­lic­ity I’m all for it :)

  17. Katie Moore says

    Karina Halle is my newest obses­sion! Your writ­ing is amaz­ing and so so so enjoy­able to read. Love all the books you have out and even though I am going through with­drawals I will gladly wait for the new books to come out :)

  18. Tabitha Rowland says

    I’m so excited for this next book! It’s def­i­nitely a bum­mer the release date got pushed back but I agree, mar­ket­ing is always good and you’re such a won­der­ful author, I’d love for you to get HUGE!

  19. Adriana C says

    Hi, I can´t wait to read them, but I have a question…are they going to be avail­able on paper­back on those dates??
    Love the bracelets **fin­gers crossed**

  20. Jeanette Gallagher says

    Hi Karina! So happy for you! A month extra to wait is doable. And #3 comes out in Octo­ber. That’s fab­u­lous. Many series make you wait a whole year between books. I am a devoted fan and will wait as long as I have to. Thank you! :)

  21. Elaine W. says

    Shoot­ing Scars is going to be so worth the wait, your work never dis­ap­points Karina, love it all…

  22. Jackie Fiorentini says

    I can’t wait for Shoot­ing Scars to come out till the Summer.…I need it now. Love that Cam­den McQueen he is so awesome

  23. Kirsty says

    Karina, I know how wor­ry­ing it must be when a book is pushed back but hon­estly I can only respect you for being so hon­est and upfront about it.
    Yes, it is always a lit­tle wor­ry­ing for a reader when a book is picked up by pub­lish­ers, we all know it means delayed release dates but even now, the August date, isn’t that bad AT ALL. I have waited 6 months and more for sequels at times.. they are the rea­sons to be annoyed.
    I know you are going to write the best book you can and the wait will be more than worth it.

    One more thing.…. !TEAM CAMDEN!

    Kirsty <3

  24. Lucia Valovcikova says

    Just one month delay? Pf, that is noth­ing, I am sure the book will be wort it! ;) TEAM KARINA!

  25. Ashley Johnson says

    How excit­ing! Con­grat­u­la­tions Karina! I can’t wait to read Shoot­ing Scars, I know it will be worth the wait! I can’t wait to meet you at the NY Author Sign­ing in July! Wish­ing you all the best! xo

  26. Evelia S. says

    I’m a bit dis­ap­pointed, but it’s all for the best! I can’t wait to pick up where we left off. I can’t decide which one I’m root­ing for. Love them both. Isn’t that twisted? But I feel like Javier is up to something…hummm…

    thanks again for these kiss ass stories!!

  27. Cindy says

    Absolutely loved Sins & Nee­dles! Can’t wait for Shoot­ing Scars to come out!!! :) Need my Cam­den McQueen fix lol. Thanks so much for the awe­some giveaway!!

  28. Danielle Colmenero says

    This is so awe­some. I love your books and will be await­ing the next one in August! Hope I win!

  29. Christina Bodden says

    LOVED Sins & Nee­dles! It was an AMAZING read and I can­not wait for Shoot­ing Scars. I know the end­ing of Sins & Nee­dles was meant to be called a ‘cliffhanger’, but for me, I did see as a way to get peo­ple to read the next book just so you could make more money. No, even way before the end­ing I knew I was def­i­nitely going to buy the next book, with or with­out a cliffhanger. Can­dem and Ellie that much of an impact on me and my emo­tions through­out the entire read, and the mood, atmos­phere and how Karina Halle pre­sented every­thing was just BEAUTIFUL and GORGEOUS. Sure, this book may have some scars but there is beauty in everything…

    Thank you so much!

  30. Alicia Boone says

    I absolutely adore all your work and I can’t wait for Shoot­ing Scars! Con­grats on all the recog­ni­tion you are get­ting, you deserve it! Im sure there is much more to come :)

  31. Mindy Jarreau says

    Well, as much as this news hurts my poor lit­tle soul, I am PUMPED UP!! Shoot­ing Scars will be phe­nom­e­nal and worth every sec­ond of wait­ing! Thanks for all of your awe­some hard work Karina! ;)

  32. Crystal Huff says

    I can com­pletely under­stand the rea­son that that Shoot­ing Scars will be out later and I know it is not your fault. I am dis­ap­pointed, but lov­ing all of your books! I am def­i­nitely addicted! I can’t wait to find out what Cam­den does, does he run after Ellie and Javier… how does Ellie han­dle deal­ing with Javier again. I am a total Cam­den fan! At least Come Alive will be com­ing out soon! It will give me some­thing to read and I am miss­ing Perry and Dex!

    Keep up the awe­some writ­ing!!!
    Crys­tal Huff

  33. Ashley @ Book Labyrinth says

    That’s not too long of a wait! I’m sure (or at least I hope!) that most peo­ple will be okay with it. It’s clear that you care a LOT about your readers/fans, and while get­ting books sooner is always awe­some it’s also impor­tant to get the best book pos­si­ble out there, and to get the best pub­lic­ity pos­si­ble, and that all takes time.

    Can’t wait to read more from you, and thanks also for the giveaway! =)

  34. Tonya K says

    Super cute bracelets!! Too bad that the date is being pushed back, but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait!

  35. Sarah says

    I am in love with your books and have a total (non creepy) girl crush on you :) I’m sad the pub date was pushed back, but EIT is still com­ing out end of June, right? Right?!? Your char­ac­ter­i­za­tion is amaz­ing — and I’m an Eng­lish teacher, so I REALLY appre­ci­ate that!!!

  36. Brenna Joyce says

    I love Sins & Nee­dles & On Every Street!! I absolutely can’t wait until Shoot­ing Scars!! You are the best!! I keep telling all my friends who read to read your books!!!!!!

  37. Ashley says

    Don’t feel bad, we don’t mind the wait… cause we love you. We also love when you give away treats and good­ies, so keep it up :)
    YOURE AWESOME!

  38. Priscilla D. says

    Oh how excited I am with this series I did not think I could love another fic­tional male as I do Dex but Cam­den is such a close run­ner. Keep doing what you love because you are mak­ing so many of us crazy happy!

  39. Tasha says

    Although I’m dis­ap­pointed Shoot­ing Scars has been pushed back I real­ize what an amaz­ing accom­plish­ment get­ting picked up by a big pub­lisher is for you! All of your amaz­ing writ­ing and hard work has paid off! And it doesn’t hurt that we as read­ers get some pretty hot book boyfriends out of it ;) August is a long way away but Im sure it will be well worth it! :D

  40. Gricelda Huizar says

    Sec­ond attempt at leav­ing a com­ment. Lol. o_O
    Don’t worry about the delay because it will build the antic­i­pa­tion and make read­ing the book ALL the bet­ter. Can’t wait to see the story unfold. :-) Can’t imag­ine the choices you’ll have to make as an author with the beloved char­ac­ters. Except Travis, of course. We all know what we want to hap­pen to him. ;-) Thanks for the updates!

  41. Kimberly B says

    I loved Sins & Nee­dles and On Every Street. The next book is worth the wait that you have no con­trol over.

  42. Chrissy de Blois says

    Hi Karina. Loved loved loved Sins & Nee­dles. Can’t wait for the other two books! So pumped! Love Camden!!

  43. Gricelda Huizar says

    Do not worry about the delay, it will make read­ing with all this antic­i­pa­tion ALL the bet­ter. ;-) Can’t wait to see how it all turns out! I can’t imag­ine the choices you’ll have to make with the char­ac­ters espe­cially since there is so much love for all of them. (Except Travis, of course. Lol.). Goods luck!

  44. Annie Cheney says

    I’ve not only loved your books, and char­ac­ters. But I really enjoy the cama­raderie of the folks I’ve met via the thin veil, tat, and espe­cially the harlots.

  45. Christine Albano says

    Con­grats on the pub­lish­ing deal! Although, I can’t bear the wait I am super happy for you. Can not wait to read Camden’s story! I am hop­ing that he and Ellie can be together.

  46. Jami Gunnoe says

    So excited for both books as well as another dex and perry book! (They’re my favorites!) con­grat­u­la­tions on your success!

  47. Tracey Winther says

    I was truly dis­ap­pointed to read that the release date for Shoot­ing Scars had been delayed. Then I real­ized that this just means I have more time to read On Every Street and Sins & Nee­dles all over again! Look­ing for­ward to August 20th!

  48. Brandi S says

    I can­not wait to read Shoot­ing Scars, things hap­pen and dates get pushed back — I know it will be well worth the wait. I am a huge fan of your work and wish you all the suc­cess in the world, you deserve it :)

  49. Nikki Jefford says

    OMG, Karina, that bracelet rocks! I don’t usu­ally enter give­aways cause I feel like I should let “real” read­ers have at it, but I’m a reader and fan, too, damn it! ;) I’m also extremely near-sighted and wear sim­i­lar glasses in the evening after my con­tacts have dried out.

    So I’m putting my name in the hat and look­ing for­ward to the full tril­ogy and EIT #7!

  50. Andrea Mejia says

    So dis­ap­point­ing it is moved back a lit­tle! But also so happy it’s not by much! And the time between book #2 & #3 isn’t that long which great!!
    Can’t wait for book #2 and would love a bracelet!! :)

  51. Jessica buchanan says

    Yay! Love the bracelets! Hate i have to wait longer, but soooo effin psy­ched the pub­lisher picked it up! Con­grats! Keep the good books comin!
    <3

  52. Debbie Mowatt says

    Def dis­ap­pointed its been pushed back, but its for a great rea­son which will be bet­ter for you..so who can com­plain about that?? :) Sins and Nee­dles would have to be my all time Fave book so far this year…somehow, I cant see it being topped (unless is by Shoot­ing scars ;) )

  53. Brandi Bradford says

    I love EIT and TAT and I am so glad they were picked up by GCP! You are awe­some and deserved a pub deal! Keep em com­ing Karina!

  54. Alyssa @ Hesperia Loves Books says

    I love The Artists Tril­ogy series and can’t wait to read Shoot­ing Scars! August is not that much fur­ther of a wait and I’m sure it will be worth it.

    Thanks for the give­away!
    hesperialovesbooks(at)gmail(dot)com

  55. Kristin says

    While I’m super sad that I’ll be wait­ing a but longer for this much awaited book, I love your work and will con­tinue to sup­port you no mat­ter how long I have to wait. :) It’s well worth it and you more then deserve to have the release done cor­recrly by your pub­lisher. <3

  56. Michelle says

    I was hooked on your writ­ing since Dark­house! I only had a nook at the time and was so upset when the rest of the EIT series wasn’t avail­able on BN. I mes­saged you on Goodreads and you emailed me a copy. That was such a great day! You are a kick­ass writer! I’ve been down­load­ing all your books! Love, love, love them! Can’t wait until August!

  57. Laura Cline says

    I will not deny dis­ap­point­ment, but I am not upset! It’s very awe­some that you got this deal, and I eagerly await every vol­ume in this series!

  58. Anne Marie says

    Cant wait to read the next book !!! Cant wait for the next eit too. I really do like your work, thank you :)

  59. Ashley Tkachyk says

    I LOVE that bracelet! I want to buy one if I don’t win :)
    Bum­mer on the release date, but it will be worth the wait I’m sure.

  60. Becky says

    While I’m totally dis­ap­pointed to not have Cam­den until Aug, the teasers are soft­en­ing the blow! Take as long as you need to bring us another kick ass book.

  61. Anna Crowther says

    I read and re-read your awe­some books! Can’t wait for more from you and all your series! Cam and Dex! What will hap­pen next?!

  62. Zulema Espinoza says

    I love this Series!!! You are awe­some and I know that they pushed the date back, but if it’s to do your book jus­tice then that is what is impor­tant. I am excited to hear that the third book in the series will be out 2 months later!! Can’t wait for August 20th!! Love Cam­den!! :)

  63. Samantha C. says

    Shoot­ing Scars & Bold Tricks are def­i­nitely two of the 2013 releases I am the most excited about! Thank you Karina for all the won­der­ful teasers and extras you have given us while we wait :) I can com­pletely under­stand why the pub­lish­ers want to push the date back. We all want to see your books do great on the mar­ket when they are released.

    I guess I will just re-read On Every Street and Sins & Nee­dles to get my Camden/Ellie/Javier fix ;)

  64. Elena Eckmeyet says

    I was thrilled to be intro­duced to this series, and even more excited about Cam­den, my sexy nerd bad boy tat­too artist. Yummy. I love a guy with tat­toos and glasses.

  65. mistine traegner says

    I am so look­ing for­ward to the upcom­ing releases no mat­ter when they come out! Keep up the great writing!!

  66. Debbei Yodamom says

    I am so happy for you ! You deserve it !!! I have no prob­lem wait­ing a bit more. I love the bracelets and hope to win !

  67. Jen C. says

    So excited for August 20th! At least I have some more Dex com­ing in June to tide me over!!

  68. Shelly Ford says

    Karina Halle is a freak­ing GENIUS!!! Loved Sins and Nee­dles and On Every Street with a ridicu­lously fever­ished PASSION!!! Can’t wait for the third book to be released in August! Im patient! Would love to win this giveaway!!!

  69. Trisha Rai says

    At least its a two month wait for after book 2 to get book 3!! HAHA. I am so glad they kept the old cover too! Love the Cam­den bracelet! I hope I win!! <3 Can’t wait until Shoot­ing Stars!! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  70. Heather Kumar says

    Hi Karina! I was one of those read­ers who was for­tu­nate enough to read Sins & Nee­dles prior to On Every Street’s debut. Ini­tially, I was Team Cam­den. By the time I picked up On Every Street, I was fully pre­pared to hate Javier. And I did, at first. I real­ize he is con­trol­ling, over-bearing, dis­loyal bad guy. But you showed us that he can also be sweet, affec­tion­ate and sexy! I was stunned after read­ing On Every Street! I have never felt so much emo­tion packed into a novella. I was cry­ing right along with Ellie (she wasn’t Eden any­more at that point). After this lit­tle break­down, I had to re-read Sins & Nee­dles. I had an entirely dif­fer­ent per­spec­tive the sec­ond time around. By the end, I was happy that Ellie finally found love with Cam­den, but I was also secretly thrilled that she would be forced to spend some more time with Javier. Regard­less of what hap­pens in the next two books, I know that Cam­den is Ellie’s true soul mate, but I will cer­tainly enjoy hav­ing Javier along for the ride! August can’t come fast enough!

  71. Aiko says

    OMG! the bracelet is sooooo cute!! I can’t wait to read Shoot­ing Stars!! The flip side of hav­ing to wait an extra month for Shoot­ing Stars is that it’s release will be that much closer to the final book. Woo!! Can’t wait to read the con­tin­u­ing saga of Ellie and Camden!

  72. joanna dursi says

    I’m glad it’s only pushed back one month & not a lot more than some books have been. Can’t wait to read it :)

  73. Heather Nelson says

    Con­grat­u­la­tions! Your books are worth the wait! Thank you for car­ing about your cur­rent read­ers as well as the new ones. Your cur­rent read­ers will con­tinue to be loyal!

  74. Robin says

    I truly can­not believe peo­ple would be upset with YOU over the pub­lisher want­ing to get it “right” when releas­ing the book. YOU rock! Ignore the naysayers!

    Thanks for shar­ing your tal­ents with us!
    Robin

  75. alma says

    Although its kind of sad to have the date pushed back again, I can wait to read it! Although I do try not to look at the teasers cause that just makes it worse! LOL and the release date is so close to my bday that I can give myself your new book!

  76. Kelley Lister McWhorter says

    I am a huge fan of yours. Read all your books and would love one of the bracelets!!!

  77. Lauren Ruprecht says

    For you…we will always wait! I may not like it, but in the mean­time I will gladly be bribed with treats :)

  78. almendra says

    wuah­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­h­hhh !!! is so AWESOME …!!!!!!!!!! you rock … and
    thanks for the give­away … and make INT .… IS SO great …

  79. Alyssa C. says

    Thank you for the give­away! I’m okay with the wait know­ing that they’re putting the best prod­uct out for us. Can’t wait for the book!

  80. Kirsten says

    Karina it will be worth the wait, it’s only an extra month. We all really appre­ci­ate you tak­ing us into con­sid­er­a­tion when you signed this deal, I’m not sure to many oth­ers would have done the same. Plus, Bold Tricks will be right around the cor­ner. <3 you and Cam of course. :)

  81. Jessica Sotelo says

    Ugh… August! How will I live with­out Javier (OK, Cam­den too) until August!?

    I sup­pose good things come to those who wait! Con­grat­u­la­tions on your pub­lish­ing deal!! :-)

  82. Nicole A. says

    Your books are my favorites!! Thank you for the give­away. Wait­ing sucks, but I’m sure it will be worth it. =)

  83. Kristie Heald says

    I am on “pins and nee­dles” wait­ing on the next book in the Artist’s Trilogy!!

  84. Kristina says

    That’s def­i­nitely a bum­mer … but, you’re still freak­ing pub­lished! That is too cool to be upset about the push­back. Can’t wait to have and hold the new paperbacks!!

  85. Amy Davis Pickett says

    First off, hell no your name on the book cover is not too big! They need to have it in neon and blinky lights to do you jus­tice! And I swear this pics of Cam­den are so yummy, he has me want­ing new ink and I’m try­ing to incor­po­rate some­thing from your books into a back piece I’m dream­ing about. And some­times i secretly hope my hus­band needs glasses. Thanks for bring­ing me back to read­ing and much deserved “me time” as I get lost in your indul­gent words. xo ADP

  86. Kelly Powell says

    Thank you for let­ting us know. Beau­ti­ful bracelet!!! And I love your book cover too :)

  87. Agellina Caples says

    I’m so so happy for you Ms. Halle!!! You are an amaz­ing writer and its about time it was rec­og­nized by those pub­lish­ers!! Shame on them for wait­ing so long to pick up your work!! Don’t worry about us we will wait hap­pily for your book to come out! They are more than worth the wait!! Con­grats again hon! What an amaz­ing jour­ney you’ve had so far! Just think.…. Your story is just begin­ning… Years of writ­ing in your future! Lots of love to you! Hey maybe they will actu­ally pick up the EIT series too!!! Keep­ing my fin­gers crossed!!

  88. Kathy says

    Con­grat­u­la­tions!! I can’t be upset with you, and espe­cially in light of the great news for you. :) P.S. I would LOVE a Cam­den bracelet. <3

  89. Alison Mackowski says

    EIT is my favorite series to date, but I devoured Sins and Nee­dles in about 2 hours and then re-read it the next night. Con­grats, Ms. Halle, you deserve success!!

    Hi Karina! Con­grat­u­la­tions on your suc­cess. Sins & Nee­dles and On Every Street are two of my all time favorite books! Love them so much and have both sit­ting on my cof­fee table right now. I’m so look­ing for­ward to Shoot­ing Scars and will wait for as long as I need to, as I’m sure it’s going to be bril­liant! So happy to see that the fol­low­ing one will only be a cou­ple months after it too. Uh-may-zing! And those bracelets are super cute!! I love both Cam­den and Javier…maybe Javier a bit more. swoon. We’ll see where the fol­low­ing books take my heart. :)

    Love the bracelet and I MUST have one! And we under­stand how things get pushed back. I guess we could for­give you this one time, lol. You know, ARC’s REALLY say for­give me. :p *hint hint* Just kidding,…sort of!

  92. Claire Eadie says

    Can’t wait to read SS but I’m not wor­ried about wait­ing a lit­tle longer. More antic­i­pa­tion is all! The bracelet is great, would remind me of the lovely Cam­den every time I wore it :)

    Lik­ing for­ward to August. And the release date for book three is the best date…it’s my birth­day! Good rea­son to get a book.

    Karina, I would hope I am speak­ing for every­one when I say your true fans are so happy that you have this oppor­tu­nity and your books are worth wait­ing for! What is a few extra weeks, really!? And in the long run when we only have a two month wait for the next book we will all be jump­ing for joy!

    I absolutely can’t wait for August 20th! If any­one sends you any neg­a­tive feed­back for your won­der­ful news tell them to go pound sand! (Yep, that’s my phrase of the day today!)

  95. Heather Hunt says

    Don’t ever feel sorry for doing what’s best for the book! True fans will wait forever!!!

  96. Christina says

    It will be com­pletely worth the wait! I’m actu­ally happy that there is a shorter wait between books 2 and 3. LOVE THIS SERIES!

  97. Mel V. says

    I promise I won’t hate you if you help this unlucky girl to win some­thing! hahaha.
    Love you <3

  98. Jenny King says

    I’m dying for Shoot­ing Scars!!! August can’t come fast enough! Love the Cam­den bracelets! Too cute ;)

  99. Louisa M says

    I have heard incred­i­ble things about The Artists Tril­ogy and Sins and Nee­dles and I can not wait to read it! IT’s next on my TBR.
