I am hosting Hannah Rials on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt!
Hannah is a Maryville native and current college student at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. She began writing her first novel at age twelve. Eight years later, the result is her new YA novel Ascension; a modern day teenage romance filled with “double-blooded” vampires and revenge-seeking witches. Sounds awesome, right?

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
This is my third YASH, but this is my first time hosting an author that offers a Spotify playlist as her exclusive content. Which is SO cool. Playlists bring books to life in a unique and wonderful way.
But first, about ASCENSION: Steeped in the mystery, intrigue and rich history of New Orleans and the secretive world of the Deuxsang, teen vampire, Cheyenne, and her forbidden love, Eli, embark on a very different, and vastly more dangerous, journey as the net of betrayal tightens around them. This intense and fresh novel is enchanting, engrossing and impossible to put down right up to the cliffhanger ending. Remember, the end is not the end.
BONUS CONTENT:
Hannah’s Spotify list is worth checking out. Click here.
If you have any trouble with the link, or opening up Spotify, the playlist is at the bottom of this post as well.
