Riot Rundown

101316-Macmillan-TheLovelyReckless-Riot-Rundown

Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by The Lovely Reckless by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia.

lovely_reckless_200wFrankie Devereux would do anything to forget the past. Haunted by the memory of her boyfriend’s death, she lives her life by one dangerous rule: nothing matters. At least, that’s what Frankie tells herself after a reckless mistake forces her to leave her privileged life in the Heights and transfer to public school in the Downs, where illegal street racing is more popular than football.

Marco Leone is the fastest street racer in the Downs. Tough, sexy, and hypnotic, he makes it impossible for Frankie to ignore him. But the risks Marco takes could have devastating consequences. Will Frankie risk what little she has left to follow her heart?
