Hey Everyone!

The moment I’ve been waiting for is almost here! The release of BLACKLIST (Book #2 in the Beautiful Idols Series) happens on April 4 and I can’t wait to share it with you! 

BLACKLIST – IN STORES APRIL 4, NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!

Layla Harrison, Aster Amirpour, and Tommy Phillips always dreamed of the ultimate celebrity lifestyle. But Layla, Aster, and Tommy never imagined it would come with a cost—the involvement in the disappearance of Madison Brooks; a story that’s blinded the world like a starlet dazzled by paparazzi flashbulbs.

Now, Layla is receiving mysterious messages from an anonymous source, Aster faces a looming murder trial, and Tommy is retracing his steps as the last person who Madison saw alive.

You can dig up dirt about celebrities that the tabloids miss if you search long enough. But when Layla, Aster, and Tommy team up with an unsuspecting insider to unearth the truth, they will find that some secrets are best kept in the grave.

PRAISE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL IDOLS SERIES

"Noel cycles among the stories of Layla, Tommy, Aster, and Madison in a gossipy, third-person narrative that makes for addictive reading ..." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Noël aims for the celebrity-hungry chick-lit crowd and scores...Chick-lit gold." -Kirkus

Like its predecessor, this is tailor-made for readers interested in getting lost in the glitzy, sexy world of Hollywood stars. Best-selling Nöel won’t stay on shelves long, and another cliff-hanger ending means that those hanging on to find out the truth about Madison’s disappearance should fasten their seatbelts: this ride isn’t remotely over.- Booklist

"What do you get when you mix highly attractive teenagers, dreams of fame, secrets, lies, and a nightclub promotions contest? You get a page-turner reminiscent of reality TV: an addictive combination of Survivor and The Apprentice, set in L.A....This is a suspenseful, scandalous, and consumable novel that is sure to gain instant fandom and leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment. VERDICT: A must-have selection for older teens."
   —School Library Journal

This second installment picks up where the first volume left off and reveals the vulnerabilities of the characters either loved or loathed in Unrivaled. Whereas the previous entry reveled in the excess and dog-eat-dog world inhabited by the teens, in Blacklist the setting is the background for a good old-fashioned whodunit. The scandalous, gossipy tone of the first book is underscored as the teens grapple with the underbelly of fame, notoriety, and the realization that nothing is as it seems. Like its predecessor, this is a suspenseful page-turner that is teasingly addictive; it works as a stand-alone entry in the series and as a worthwhile sequel.–Tamela Chambers, Chicago Public Schools

"Not all of LA's beautiful people lead beautiful lives. Alyson Noël shows us with the details of an observant insider what they're really up to, late into the night. Like a good celebrity, Unrivaled is mysterious and compelling and so gorgeous you won't be able to look away."
   —Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the Gossip Girl series

"This glitzy, suspenseful, shamelessly addictive read offers an all access pass to the glimmering world of Hollywood celebrity, where fame is a game, dark secrets are currency, and love doesn't come without a high price."
   —Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Creatures

"Unrivaled will have you hooked from the very first page. Everything from the glitzy setting to the suspenseful plot is pure gold."
   —Jamie McGuire, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Disaster

"If you love Pretty Little Liars, you'll love this sexy teen drama set against the backdrop of the glamorous LA club scene—where every choice poses a threat and nothing is what is seems."
   —Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Creatures and author of Unbreakable

"Unrivaled is addictive! With a killer cliffhanger and twists around every corner, I couldn't stop reading this novel. Now I'm impatiently waiting for the second book in the Beautiful Idols series."
   —Anna Todd, bestselling author of the After series

And, as always, I want to give a BIG SPARKLY THANK YOU to all of my amazing readers! 

I feel incredibly blessed that I get to create these stories for a living. I've wanted to be a writer since I was 12, but this journey has surpassed even my wildest dreams!

So, in the midst of all my excitement about the BLACKLIST release, I want to take a moment to thank those of you who've been supporting me for years--I truly couldn't have done it without you! And also to welcome those who are just now discovering my books--I look forward to getting to know you, and hope you enjoy the books!

So much exciting stuff lining up between now through release day and beyond, so be sure to check in with me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for all the latest!

Xoxo,

BEAUTIFUL IDOLS Makeover!

Those of you who know me know I love a good makeover (HGTV is my permanent happy place!), which is why I was both curious and excited when my publisher told me they were planning to refresh the BEAUTIFUL IDOLS covers, beginning with the UNRIVALED paperback release on 01.31.17, followed by book 2, BLACKLIST on 04.04.17. 

While I love the clean, spare look of the original UNRIVALED cover, I do think the new look gives a better idea of what the series is about. The photos were taken by a popular Instagram photographer who often uses LA as a backdrop, and I think he really captures the spirit of the characters and the world I write about. 

Can't wait to see what they come up with for INFAMOUS, the final book, which I'm working on now!

But until then... here they are!

xoxo,

Alyson

UNRIVALED in stores today!!!

Way back in the early days of 2014, I visited the Harper Collins Offices in NYC to meet my editors and celebrate the UNRIVALED deal. They had the conference room set up in a night club theme--disco ball included--and they even had an employee overseeing the door--luckily, I was on the list! I knew at that time that not only was I in good hands, but that this series would be fun to create. Turns out, I was right on both counts.

And now, fast forward to today when UNRIVALED is being ushered into the world in a 1-Day Global Laydown in 16 languages and 200 countries. I am beside myself with excitement!

I've written before about how after concluding the SOUL SEEKERS series I'd decided to take some time off to travel and refill the well, as they say. In publishing math, that made for 3 years between releases, so yeah, I'll admit that in addition to being excited I also might be freaking out just the tiniest bit!

Between 2005 - 2013, I released 21 books, contributed to 3 anthologies, went on countless domestic and international book tours spanning 6 continents, and I'm grateful for every single moment of it, and every amazing reader I've been in contact with along the way. There are many of you that I count as my friends, and I feel so lucky to be able to say that.

I also feel incredibly blessed that I get to create these stories for a living. I've wanted to be a writer since I was 12, but this journey has surpassed even my wildest dreams!

So, in the midst of all my excitement/freak out I wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who've been supporting me for years--I truly couldn't have done it without you! And also to welcome those who are just now discovering my books--I look forward to getting to know you!

I hope that when you read UNRIVALED, you'll come to love Layla, Tommy, Aster, and Madison as much as I have. And for my international readers, I am thrilled that you finally get to read the books at the same time as my US readers!

Thanks again for making this release day so special!

Peace * Joy * Love* Hugs to all of you!
