Posted In: Giveaway
Croak by Gina Damico
Release Date: March 20, 2012
Website | Blog | Twitter | Facebook | Goodreads | Amazon
Sixteen-year-old Lex Bartleby has sucker-punched her last classmate. Fed up with her punkish, wild behavior, her parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape. But Uncle Mort’s true occupation is much dirtier than that of shoveling manure.
He’s a Grim Reaper. And he’s going to teach her the family business.
Lex quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated entirely by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. Along with her infuriating yet intriguing partner Driggs and a rockstar crew of fellow Grim apprentices, Lex is soon zapping her Targets like a natural born Killer.
Yet her innate ability morphs into an unchecked desire for justice—or is it vengeance?—whenever she’s forced to Kill a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. So when people start to die—that is, people who aren’t supposed to be dying, people who have committed grievous crimes against the innocent—Lex’s curiosity is piqued. Her obsession grows as the bodies pile up, and a troubling question begins to swirl through her mind: if she succeeds in tracking down the murderer, will she stop the carnage—or will she ditch Croak and join in?

That book trailer made me laugh. It is SO typical teen angst, but with a twist! At first, I wasn’t sure about this book, but I think it will be a really entertaining read.

I thought the trailer started off a little Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but I digged the animation. The music also set the voice pretty well. I haven’t read it, but I can guess what kind of main character it has

The trailer is okay, but I don’t really think it does the synopsis justice. The graphics definitely leave something to be desired…Lol!

So is anyone else excited that it’s actually a girl that is interested in revenge and the grim reaper stuff. I feel like something this dark would normally feature a male protagonist so I’m definitely interested (although if it was a male protagonist I feel like they would be implying he was the one committing the murders which isn’t the case but I’ll take what I can get.)

Ok. That trailer’s pretty cool. XD It’s definitely out of the ordinary. From what I’ve heard about this book so far, it suits the main character.
And I kind of love the song they used…The more I hear about this book, the more I kinda wanna read it.
It’s intriguing…Thanks for hosting the giveaway! ^^

I’m not usually big on book trailers, but this one is fun and different. No moody narration. No bad picture slide shows. Just silliness that seems very in the mood of the book itself.

What a fun book trailer! I really like how it sticks with the blurb – and the hand drawings are funny and adorable! I like it very much

I honestly love it. I think it’s quirky and adorable, which fits the style of this book to the T; from all that I’ve heard, despite dealing with as grim a subject as reaping, it’s light and hilarious.

The trailer for CROAK is very creative! One of the best I have seen recently. Best part of this book is the unusual story idea that is why I WANT IT!!

Oh, wow… I loved that trailer! I know my daughter would too. You guys snagged my interest with the book blurb, but hooked me with the addition of that trailer! I don’t usually watch them, because they’re usually overly dramatic and they normally use irritating music, but that one was great. I will definitely be adding this one to my must acquire list!

The trailer was interesting. The music made it more appealing. My 11 year old could have made this trailer. With that said, I liked the trailer! Between the blurb and the trailer, I added it to my tbr list. It wasn’t there before and I had seen the cover but that didn’t draw me in! It was the trailer and the blurb that drew me in. Ok, I will stop rambling now!

Wow I love this trailer! SOMEONE who was on the computer before me put the volume up extremely high. So to say the least I was surprised when music started blaring out of the speakers. I must admit, I jumped. Along with the music I thought the drawings were a really cool idea. I enjoyed this trailer very much.

I loved it. I’m sorry but the stick drawings were cute but at the same time creepy and mischievous. It really catches my eye. I also loved the way it was written. It really did seem like in a teens point of view. It’s amazing!!!
