The Darkest Part of the Forest
By: Holly Black
Publication Date: January 13th, 2015

"Children can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice. Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. A girl can look at her brother and believe they're destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil. She can believe she's found the thing she's been made for.

Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries' seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once.

At the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointy as knives. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.

Until one day, he does...

As the world turns upside down and a hero is needed to save them all, Hazel tries to remember her years spent pretending to be a knight. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough?" ~See it on Goodreads

--------------------------------------

I. Need. This. Book. Plain and simple. I adore Holly Black and all things faerie! This book sounds a-freaking-mazing! And from the lucky people that got ARC's from BEA and such, I've heard great, great things about it. And I'm immensely jealous that I don't own this book yet, I'm talking wicked witch of the west green with envy y'all. But really, I can't say how excited I am for this book to come out and I will be there bright and early to get it!

Snow like Ashes

By: Sarah Raasch

Publication Date: October 14th, 2014

"A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.

Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.

Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.

So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own."~See it on Goodreads

Made for You

By: Melissa Marr

Publication Date: September 16th, 2014 

Bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely books Melissa Marr’s first contemporary YA novel is a twisted southern gothic tale of obsession, romance, and murder. A killer is obsessed with Eva Tilling. Can she stop him, or will he claim her?

When Eva Tilling wakes up in the hospital, she’s confused—who in her sleepy little North Carolina town could have hit her with their car? And why? But before she can consider the question, she finds that she’s awoken with a strange new skill: the ability to foresee people’s deaths when they touch her. While she is recovering from the hit-and-run, Nate, an old flame, reappears, and the two must traverse their rocky past as they figure out how to use Eva’s power to keep her friends—and themselves—alive. But while Eva and Nate grow closer, the killer grows increasingly frantic in his attempt to get to Eva.

For the first time, New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr has applied her extraordinary talent to contemporary realism. Chilling twists, unrequited obsession, and high-stakes romance drive this Gothic, racy thriller—a story of small-town oppression and salvation. Melissa’s fans, and every YA reader, will find its wild ride enthralling. ~See it on Goodreads!

Waiting On Wednesday #24

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

--------------------------------------

My WOW pick for this week is:

Rooms
By: Lauren Oliver

Publication Date: September 23rd, 2014

 

 

"The New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy makes her brilliant adult debut with this mesmerizing story in the tradition of The Lovely Bones, Her Fearful Symmetry, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane—a tale of family, ghosts, secrets, and mystery, in which the lives of the living and the dead intersect in shocking, surprising, and moving ways

Wealthy Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country house full of rooms packed with the detritus of a lifetime. His estranged family—bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna—have arrived for their inheritance.

But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical Sandra, long dead former residents bound to the house, linger within its claustrophobic walls. Jostling for space, memory, and supremacy, they observe the family, trading barbs and reminiscences about their past lives. Though their voices cannot be heard, Alice and Sandra speak through the house itself—in the hiss of the radiator, a creak in the stairs, the dimming of a light bulb.

The living and dead are each haunted by painful truths that will soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears, and Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human worlds collide—with cataclysmic results.

Elegantly constructed and brilliantly paced, Rooms is an enticing and imaginative ghost story and a searing family drama that is as haunting as it is resonant." ~See it on Goodreads!

 

--------------------------------------

 

I've been excited about this book since the very first time I read the synopsis! I loved The Lovely Bones, so the fact that this book is supposed to be a similar style hooked my attention immediately. All the elements of this book (judging from the description) are ones that I love and ones that I think will make for a really good read. I'm a big fan of Lauren Oliver anyways and I think it'll be really interesting to see her first adult novel since her other work is in the Middle Grade or YA categories. I will definitely be at the bookstore bright and early on September 23rd for this one!

My WOW pick for this week is:

Dreams of Gods and Monsters

By: Laini Taylor

Publication Date: April 8th, 2014

"By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz.

Common enemy, common cause.

When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people.

And, perhaps, for themselves. Toward a new way of living, and maybe even love.

But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz ... something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stormhunters are gathering as if summoned, ceaselessly circling, and a deep sense of wrong pervades the world.

What power can bruise the sky?

From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.

At the very barriers of space and time, what do gods and monsters dream of? And does anything else matter?" ~See It On Goodreads!

--------------------------------------

This is the third book in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, and when I say these books are amazing... that's a huge understatement!! The characters and world building are fantastic, and Akiva (AKA: complete and utter swoon material) is in a class all his own! If you're even the least bit intrigued by the synopsis you should most definitely check this series out!! I can't stress how imperative that is, you'll thank me later I promise!

Lady Thief

By: A.C. Gaughen

Publication Date: February 11th, 2014

"Scarlet’s true identity has been revealed, but her future is uncertain. Her forced marriage to Lord Gisbourne threatens Robin and Scarlet’s love, and as the royal court descends upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint their beloved Robin Hood. But Prince John has different plans for Nottingham that revolve around a fateful secret from Scarlet’s past even she isn’t yet aware of. Forced to participate at court alongside her ruthless husband, Scarlet must bide her time and act the part of a noblewoman—a worthy sacrifice if it means helping Robin’s cause and a chance at a future with the man she loves. With a fresh line of intrigue and as much passion as ever, the next chapter in Scarlet’s tale will have readers talking once again." ~See it on Goodreads!

I'm so ridiculously excited for this book to come out! I own and have read the first book and LOVED every bit of it and this next installment seems to be just as promising! I adore retellings so I was easily drawn to this series. I will be at the bookstore bright and early to pick up my copy on the release date!! :D And if you haven't read the first book I HIGHLY recommend you do!!

So it's been quite a while since I've done a WoW post, but I just had to do one this week and share with everyone a book that instantly spiked to the top of my wishlist the minute I heard about it. Haha. If you didn't know by now, Richelle Mead is perhaps my favorite author in recent years. I adore her. I'm already anticipating Indigo Spell (the 3rd Bloodlines book), but that's not what this post is about.

My WoW this week:

 

Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead

Expected Release: June 2013

Adult, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Dystopian

1st in a series

 

See it at Goodreads

 

In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military’s most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.

When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.

Gameboard of the Gods, the first installment of Richelle Mead’s Age of X series, will have all the elements that have made her YA Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series such megasuccesses: sexy, irresistible characters; romantic and mythological intrigue; and relentless action and suspense.

 

 

 

 

I'm so excited for this new adult series from Ms. Mead! And that cover...LOVE!

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by

Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

　

My Waiting on Wednesday this week includes:

Title: Velveteen
Author: Daniel Marks
Genre: YA Paranormal, Horror
Expected Release Date: October 9th, 2012

Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that's not the problem.

The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind.

Bonesaw.

Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she's figured out just how to do it. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It'll be brutal . . . and awesome.

But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she's willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.

Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules . . . or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.

How can I NOT want to read this? Seriously?! I can't wait until I get my hands on this. :)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Since I don’t do Waiting on Wednesday quite as often as I used to, I figured this time around instead of just one book I’m eagerly looking forward to, I’ll share three books I’m extremely excited for. ^^ I have a feeling 2012 is going to be quite an amazing reading year (2011 was my best by far too--I think 2012 will be even better!).


My Waiting on Wednesday this week includes:

Title: Masque of the Red Death
Author: Bethany Griffin
Release Date: April 24th

Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.

So what does Araby Worth have to live for?

Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.

But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find something not just to live for, but to fight for—no matter what it costs her. --See it on Goodreads

Title: The Immortal Rules
Author: Julie Kagawa
Release Date: April 24th

In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.

Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.

Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love. --See it on Goodreads

Title: For Darkness Shows the Stars
Author: Diana Peterfreund
Release Date: June 12th

Generations ago, a genetic experiment gone wrong—the Reduction—decimated humanity, giving rise to a Luddite nobility who outlawed most technology.

Eighteen-year-old Luddite Elliot North has always known her place in this caste system. Four years ago Elliot refused to run away with her childhood sweetheart, the servant Kai, choosing duty to her family’s estate over love. But now the world has changed: a new class of Post-Reductionists is jumpstarting the wheel of progress and threatening Luddite control; Elliot’s estate is floundering; and she’s forced to rent land to the mysterious Cloud Fleet, a group of shipbuilders that includes renowned explorer Captain Malakai Wentforth—an almost unrecognizable Kai. And while Elliott wonders if this could be their second chance, Kai seems determined to show Elliot exactly what she gave up when she abandoned him.

But Elliot soon discovers her childhood friend carries a secret—-one that could change the society in which they live…or bring it to its knees. And again, she’s faced with a choice: cling to what she’s been raised to believe, or cast her lot with the only boy she’s ever loved, even if she has lost him forever.

Inspired by Jane Austen’s PERSUASION, FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS is a breathtaking romance about opening your mind to the future and your heart to the one person you know can break it. --See it on Goodreads

Title: Of Poseidon
Author: Anna Banks
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: May 22, 2012
See it at Goodreads

Emma and her friend Chloe are spending vacation in Florida. When Emma (literally) runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he’s a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange – is it attraction? – and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he’s heard of – a human who can communicate with fish.

What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma’s gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she’s the key to saving his kingdom. Soon, Emma can’t deny her feelings for him, but can’t explain them, either – and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings. --Goodreads

I can't wait to get my hands on this book! Sure it sounds like one of the great summer reads of 2012, but why can't I have something to warm me up now? Haha! I've already heard some fantastic things from some early reviewers so I'm hoping it won't disappoint. Believe it or not, I haven't really got into the whole mermaid/syren scene exactly yet-- but this sounds really good and I look forward to the new characters and unique worlds. :)

Title: The Space Between
Author: Brenna Yovanoff
Genre: YA Paranormal Fantasy
Release Date: November 15th
See it at Goodreads

Everything is made of steel, even the flowers. How can you love anything in a place like this?

Daphne is the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Life for her is an endless expanse of time, until her brother Obie is kidnapped - and Daphne realizes she may be partially responsible. Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie's whereabouts. As she delves deeper into her demonic powers, she must navigate the jealousies and alliances of the violent archangels who stand in her way. But she also discovers, unexpectedly, what it means to love and be human in a world where human is the hardest thing to be. --Goodreads

This sounds intriguing and dark. And like most people who know me pretty well by now, I have a guilty pleasure for the darker side. ;)

All joking aside, I'm not too sure yet about the whole Lucifer and Lilith thing too yet. I will have to read it and make my own assumptions then. I don't like reading material that is bogged down with a lot of "religious" reference. It's just not really my thing in most cases. I'm hoping it won't be that kind of case for this.

The Space Between sounds mesmerizing, though, nonetheless. I like the premise and I look forward to reading not only about the world and characters the author has created, but the adventure that awaits.

Title: Tempest
Author: Julie Cross
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: January 3, 2012
See it at Goodreads

The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.

But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler. Recruit… or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world. --Goodreads

This one sounds different. I honestly don't know whether to be excited or wary on Tempest. In some ways, it sounds a bit like the author drew some inspiration from the movie Jumper. I liked that movie alright enough, but I am a little unsure how the time-jumping will be portrayed. However, I've heard good things already so far on this- and the premise does sound unique, so I really do want to read this and see for myself. Added bonus is that the narrator is a male. We don't get a lot of this in YA, so anytime the opportunity arises for a good read with this type of point of view, I go for it. The cover is beautiful, too. I look forward to seeing how this book will be. :)

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.

In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.

And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.

Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages—not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.

When one of the strangers—beautiful, haunted Akiva—fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself? --Goodreads

Genre: Dystopian
Release Date: January 19th, 2012
See it at Goodreads

Nina Oberon’s life has changed enormously in the last few months. When her mother was killed, Nina discovered the truth about her father, the leader of the Resistance. And now she sports the same Governing Council–ordered tattoo of XVI on her wrist that all sixteen-year-old girls have. The one that announces to the world that she is easy prey to predators. But Nina won’t be anyone’s stereotype. And when she joins an organization of girls working within the Resistance, she knows that they can put an end to one of the most terrifying secret programs the GC has ever conceived. Because the truth always comes out...and the consequences can be deadly. --Goodreads

I quite enjoyed the first book so I'm looking forward to this second installment when it's released. Honestly, it wasn't the greatest Dystopian I've read in the last year, but it certainly intrigued me enough to want more, and it was better than some others I've read, too. I recommend it if you enjoy the genre. Sounds like the second one will be more action-packed than the first was, as well as answering some questions that were left hanging at the end, and I look forward to that.

Title: Sweet Venom
Author: Tera Lynn Childs
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: September 6th
See it at Goodreads

Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster.

Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though.

Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they're triplets, supernatural descendants of some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting monsters.

These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful gorgon maligned by myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight. --Goodreads

I love a lot of mythology and this book sounds not only really appealing, but also something fresh and unique. I look forward to picking this one up. Oh, and that cover is just absolutely gorgeous!!
