Dice is determined to have a normal life…but how can she?Pen is different—completely different…or is she? Marsh is madly, deeply in love…so why is she so miserable? And perhaps the most burning, bruising, blues-inducing question of all: What the #%^&@$! happened to Sin?
The answers to these and all other questions about the goings on in the town of SWOON will be revealed when SWEAR hits bookstores on
18 October 2011.

Till then, SWOON on!
People are SWOONING…
Smart, sexy (very sexy) and spooky, this will both awaken the appetite and sate it with its multiple plot strands, well-drawn characters and fully satisfying conclusion. The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Malkin takes a far-fetched premise and gracefully navigates it with intelligence and skill. Even the ending is satisfying. Long-term consequences of the tumultuous autumn are discussed, and while characters are left with contentment, they are not provided with pat happily-ever-afters. Cara von Wrangel Kinsey, New York Public Library
Swoon was a dark, edgy and sensual read. The starkly beautiful prose in which Malkin constructs her sentences was like a breath of fresh air, and I found myself wanting to savor each delicious turn of the page…Sin was so witty, so ruthless and so insanely passionate. Not to mention gorgeous and a gentleman (in his own warped way). There were times when I knew I should hate him, but I simply could not. The Book Butterfly
It’s one of those novels where you just have to know what’s going to happen next, what does the ending hold! It was an obsession, and I had to know…. Swoon is something to behold. Awesome story line, original plot. Prepare to swoon indeed. Story Siren
Nina Malkin should be commended for creating a unique paranormal story. She weaves together many loose ends to create a thought-provoking story. SWOON will stay with you long after you read it. Karin’s Book Nook
I took a week to read this, not only because I had only stolen moments to devote to it, but also because I wanted to savor Malkin’s delicious turns of phrase. The story is told in first person, and Dice is so wry in her observations and so conflicted in her loyalties and desires I found myself identifying with her (despite our differences). Presenting Lenore
Now what can I say about Sin? Hmm…Sin...Sin…Sin “What a mischievous boy!” I can see how Dice fell for him, I mean who wouldn’t…. Swoon is Malkin’s first novel in the paranormal genre and I have to give props to her, she did a fantastic job because I was totally swooned. Fantastic Book Reviews
oh, let’s not forget…
If ever a YA novel were primed for late-night Cinemax adaptation, it's Malkin’s (The Uncensored Confessions) latest. Publisher’s Weekly
and finally…
I mean, if I want to read a smutty novel I will go and pick one up, but that wasn’t what I wanted… Just Blinded Book Reviews
