Here it is! I friggin’ love it, and hope you do too:
And here’s the synopsis (SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven’t read the first two books in the series):
Lex is a teenage Grim Reaper with the power to Damn souls, and it’s getting out of control. She’s a fugitive, on the run from the maniacal new mayor of Croak and the townspeople who want to see her pay the price for her misdeeds. Uncle Mort rounds up the Junior Grims to flee Croak once again, but this time they’re joined by Grotton, the most powerful Grim of all time. Their new mission is clear: Fix his mistakes, or the Afterlife will cease to exist, along with all the souls in it.
The gang heads for Necropolis, the labyrinth-like capital city of the Grimsphere. There, they discover that the Grimsphere needs a reboot. To do that, the portals to the Afterlife must be destroyed…but even that may not be enough to fix the damage. Things go from bad to worse, and when at last the fate of the Afterlife and all the souls of the Damned hang in the balance, it falls to Lex and her friends to make one final, impossible choice.
Yikes.

I can never choose one but my top 3 were Resident Evil: Retribution, American Reunion, and The Hobbit ooo and The Dark Knight Rises
My favorite movie of 2012 that I watched would be MIB3 I really liked it and other than cartoons it is about the only thing I watched lol. I love the new cover.
Well, I think I’ll have to go with Django Unchained. It’s the last one I saw and I loved it. Not my favorite Tarantino but it made me laugh :)
My favorite movie this year was Tangled. It’s hard to choose though, there were so many good movies!
My favorite movie had to be The Hobbit! No doubt about it.
My favorite movie of 2012 would be dark night raises simply because i am a hardcore batman fan and i think anne as catwoman was sexy
I’m not afraid to admit that the I was incredibly happy with the last Twilight movie. Sorry, new mom here, I don’t get to the movies that often anymore, so my choices were limited. :)
Top movie… I have to pick just one…there were so many good ones, but I’m going with Pitch Perfect. It’s not winning any awards, but dang, it was a fun one to watch!
I loved les mis… :) I also loved the last batman!
I can’t even choose…I loved The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, Les Miserables, Skyfall and the Hobbit best…
I only saw four movies and they were all good, none of them Oscar contenders that I know of, but my absolute favorite was The Hobbit, the whole family loved that one! American Reunion runs a close second because it was hysterical and the underlying story underneath the humor was so true. What can I say my husband and I have potty humor, LOL.
There are so many 2012 movies I still haven’t seen, but of the ones I have, I think The Avengers is my fave…LOVE Joss Whedon:)
Ooooooh! The book cover is glorious! WHEN DOES IT COME OUT AGAIN? *clears throat* so favorite movie of 2012, hmmm… I think the winner goes to… *drumroll* Rise of the Guardians! That was hard, it was either that or The Hunger Games. I know that RotG is a cartoon, but cartoons can be awesome. RotG will certainly be one of my favorites for a long time. I am glad you didn’t ask us for our favorite book of 2012, I’d start flailing around, my mind overloading with all of those choices! Anyway, DO YOU HAVE MAGICAL POWERS TO MAKE IT SEPTEMBER YET?!
I LOVE this cover!!! It might be my favorite of them so far. Already added Rogue to my TBR wishlist. :)
My favorite movie of 2012 would have to be The Hunger Games or Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2. Thanks for the giveaway!
Avengers. It was definitely Avengers. Although I think I only saw 3 movies that were released in 2012…
Favorite movie of 2012 would have to be THE AVENGERS, everything just goes together so well and seeing a superhero team is awesome. :)
My favorite movie of the year…Probably Looper. Even though Pitch Perfect is my guilty pleasure. =)
That is an extremely awesome cover! Love the green font and the cartoon-ish effect.
I didn’t watch a lot of the super-hit movies of 2012 but out of which I did, I found Pitch Perfect to be the best. People Like Us is a close second.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Fave movie of 2012? Too easy! THE AVENGERS!! I LOVED it! I dont even know how many times I watched it last year….lost count after 5 ;)
Favorite movie of 2012…hmmm that’s hard but probably the two I loved the most were…Drumroll please! The Avengers and The Hobbit!!
My favorite movies of 2012 Breaking Dawn part 2, The Avengers, Rise of the guardians and Step up Revolution.
I’d have to say that the Avengers was my favorite… so many one-liners…so many…
My favorite movie of 2012 was a toss up between Breaking Dawn and Battleship.
My favorite movies of 2012 were The Hunger Games & The Dark Knight Rises.
Favorite movie of 2012? Probably Skyfall or the Avengers.
Love the cover!

2.silver lining playbook
3. lincoln the vampire hunter
My favorite movie of 2012 were The Hunger Games and Snowhite and the Huntsman (no Oscar material!)
Favorite movie was The Hunger Games!
I don’t watch a lot of movie but either THG/Breaking Dawn part 2. :D
Dark Shadows
I really liked Brave, but I guess oscar worthy would be Les Mis. XP
I definately have to say Les Miserables
Oooooooh, pretty swirly!!!! Can’t wait for September!
My favorite movie this year would be The Avengers!! So many hot heros!
Ok since I have little kids, I only saw one grown up movie last year and it was the Avengers, at least it was awesome!
I’m a sucker for superhero movies, so it’s a tossup between Thor, The Amazing Spiderman, and The Avengers.
My favourite movie is probably The Dark Knight Rises. Thanks so much for this giveaway… I can’t wait to read book 3!
Breaking dawn part 2 or Pitch Perfect! :(
Oops meant :)
I am so terrible at picking favorite anythings. I did really enjoy The Amazing Spiderman, V for Vendetta (didn’t come out in 2012 but I watched it then), and Pitch Perfect.
I super enjoyed Rise of the Guardians. And it’s easier to remember because it was at the end of the year. I can hardly remember back to the beginning of 2012!
Hmmmm… favorite movie of 2012???
Most definitely would be Pitch Perfect.
It is Acca-Awesome! :D
I’m a Toliken fan, I LOVED The Hobbit. (SIGH) No Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortensen though.
Mindy :)
Birdsooong@aol.com or Birdsooong@comcast.net
I loved The Hobbit! I don’t get to too many movies, but went and saw that one on its release day. :)
Definitely The Hobbit.
Sorry for the unoriginal response, but I’m going to have to go with The Avengers. I only saw three movies, though. The other ones were Skyfall and The Hunger Games.
thanks for the fun giveaway! I’d have to say Resident Evil and Avengers :)
I don’t have a chance to watch a lot of movies but The Hunger Games I did watch and enjoy. The author is incredible, especially since I knew about her earliest series The Underland Chronicles and was a follower before The Hunger Games received recognition. :)
My favorite movie of 2012 was Pitch Perfect. The humor was perfect–it matched mine so well–the love interest between the two groups that supposedly despise each other. It had me laughing and rolling!! I freakin’ LOVE Fat Amy!!!!
I didn’t get to the movies as much as I would have liked in 2012, but my favorite was Les Mis (which I didn’t actually see until 2013) and Loooper (which I did see in 2012). :)
Well…. how about….. *deep in thought* The Hunger Games…. (i think this is a very legitimate answer (?)) Sure, lets go with that one!
The hobbit, and mabye some cartoons or something…. ?
Fav. movie of 2012? Hmm… I’m going to have to say Rise of The Guardians (because I’m a total spaz and love children’s movies)
Either the Hunger Games (which I’m tentative about since it was not as completely awesome as the book) or Tangled (because it’s adorable).
