Artist Beatrix Adams knows exactly how she's spending the summer before her senior year. Determined to follow in Leonardo da Vinci’s footsteps, she's ready to tackle the one thing that will give her an advantage in a museum-sponsored scholarship contest: drawing actual cadavers. But when she tries to sneak her way into the hospital’s Willed Body program and misses the last metro train home, she meets a boy who turns her summer plans upside down.

Jack is charming, wildly attractive . . . and possibly one of San Francisco’s most notorious graffiti artists. On midnight buses and city rooftops, Beatrix begins to see who Jack really is—and tries to uncover what he’s hiding that leaves him so wounded. But will these secrets come back to haunt him? Or will the skeletons in Beatrix’s own family’s closet tear them apart?

I've read my fair share of young adult romance given the fact that I spend too much time reading fa-fiction and fingerling over hot guys that that show up in my books. Ever got the "Anyone else can die, except for you!" type of feeling. I read this blurb and was attracted to the fact that she missed a metro train and falls in love with one of San Francisco's most notorious graffiti artists. 

Now, read that last sentence again.

title: Holding Smoke 

author: Elle Cosimano 

publisher: Hyperion

genre: Young Adult, Thriller, Mystery, Issue: Prison, Murder

John "Smoke" Conlan is serving time for two murders but he wasn't the one who murdered his English teacher, and he never intended to kill the only other witness to the crime. A dangerous juvenile rehabilitation center in Denver, Colorado, known as the Y, is Smoke's new home and the only one he believes he deserves. 

But, unlike his fellow inmates, Smoke is not in constant imprisonment. After a near death experience leaves him with the ability to shed his physical body at will, Smoke is able to travel freely outside the concrete walls of the Y, gathering information for himself and his fellow inmates while they're asleep in their beds. Convinced his future is only as bright as the fluorescent lights in his cell, Smoke doesn't care that the "threads" that bind his soul to his body are wearing thin-that one day he may not make it back in time. That is, until he meets Pink, a tough, resourceful girl who is sees him for who he truly is and wants to help him clear his name. 

Now Smoke is on a journey to redemption he never thought possible. With Pink's help, Smoke may be able to reveal the true killer, but the closer they get to the truth, the more deadly their search becomes. The web of lies, deceit, and corruption that put Smoke behind bars is more tangled than they could have ever imagined. With both of their lives on the line, Smoke will have to decide how much he's willing to risk, and if he can envision a future worth fighting for.

This is about prison, death, and murder. Me being me, would gladly love to read about a guy serving time for two murders he didn't commit. Why? The thriller, the suspense, the mystery. It's like trying to uncover the truth yourself while the characters in the book are also trying to uncover it. I'm ready to say "game on" to this and I am really happy about the fact that it publishes in May 2016, meaning that I have time and air to breathe once it comes out!
