So, this week's Third Sentence Thursday comes from Trinity Faegen's debut novel, The Mephisto Covenant for which I nearly peed my pants the day it arrived in the mail. I'm a little over 100 and something pages into it and I AM IN FREAKING LOVE WITH IT. Seriously, this is a book that you DO NOT WANT to miss out on at all! Because, holy BOOK COVER LOVE whoa! And also, the story, which I have to say moves kind of fast paced and is very well developed not to mention sort of funny in an ironic sort of way. Also, I have to say that this was one of my top three most anticipated novels to come out this year, too. So, the fact that I was able to get an ARC of it, made my whole year. Freakin' EPIC, ya'll. ;)
