I know this a day late but I explain it in my next post! Okay so this week I'm waiting for Soundless by Richelle Mead. I love her books and this one sounds amazing - Chinese folklore? Love it! I can't wait for it to come out!!! Happy Reading.


Publication: November 17th, 2015
Summary: From Richelle Mead, the #1 internationally bestselling author of Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, comes a breathtaking new fantasy steeped in Chinese folklore. 

For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village, where rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from self-sustaining. Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zipline that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom. 

When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei’s home, the people she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation.

But soon Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon.

Richelle Mead takes readers on a triumphant journey from the peak of Fei’s jagged mountain village to the valley of Beiugo, where a startling truth and an unlikely romance will change her life forever...

This week I'm waiting on Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry because 1. it's Katie McGarry and 2. it's Katie McGarry. Okay I just love her writing and her all her books and I'm just really excited for this one to come out!! Happy Reading.


Publication: May 26th, 2015
Summary: Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she's curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn't mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both. 

Oz wants one thing: to join the Reign of Terror. They're the good guys. They protect people. They're…family. And while Emily—the gorgeous and sheltered daughter of the club's most respected member—is in town, he's gonna prove it to her. So when her father asks him to keep her safe from a rival club with a score to settle, Oz knows it's his shot at his dream. What he doesn't count on is that Emily just might turn that dream upside down. 

No one wants them to be together. But sometimes the right person is the one you least expect, and the road you fear the most is the one that leads you home.

Waiting On Wednesday - 3/4/15

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week I'm waiting for Ash & Bramble by Sarah Prineas. I love retellings so I'm really excited for this book. Though I will admit I'm not really into the cover, but it's fine, I just want to read the story! Happy Reading.


Publication: September 15th, 2015
Summary: When the glass slipper just doesn’t fit…

The tale of Cinderella has been retold countless times. But what you know is not the true story.

Pin has no recollection of who she is or how she got to the Godmother’s fortress. She only knows that she is a Seamstress, working day in and out to make ball gowns fit for fairy tales. But she longs to forsake her backbreaking servitude and dares to escape with the brave young Shoemaker.

Pin isn’t free for long before she’s captured again and forced to live the new life the Godmother chooses for her—a fairy tale story, complete with a charming prince—instead of finding her own happily ever after.

Sarah Prineas’s bold fairy tale retelling is a dark and captivating world where swords are more fitting than slippers, young shoemakers are just as striking as princes, and a heroine is more than ready to rescue herself before the clock strikes midnight.

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This is a day late because for the blog tour post, that had to be the top post of the day, so I figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal posting it a day later. Anyways, this week I'm waiting for Red by Alyxandra Harvey. I've seen it around a few places and decided to look into it and I'm intrigued by it as well as excited! Good thing it comes out soon, that's always a great surprise! Happy Reading.


Publication: March 10th, 2015
Summary: Bad girls burn hot…

Red is the color of Kia Alcott's hair.
It's her temper, which blazes hot and always gets Kia into way too much trouble.
And it's the color of fire. Fires that Kia can start…just by thinking about them.

When her latest “episode” gets her kicked out of school, Kia is shipped off to her grandmother, who works for the wealthy Blackwoods. It's an estate shrouded in secrets, surrounded by rules, and presided over by a family that is far from normal…including the gorgeous and insolent Ethan Blackwood.

Ethan knows far more about the dangers of the forest surrounding the estate than Kia can ever imagine. For this forest has teeth, and Ethan is charged with protecting the outside world from its vicious mysteries.

But inside, even the most vibrant shade of red doesn't stand a chance against the dark secrets of the Blackwood family…

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Hey guys, I totally know I disappeared for a week, but ugh! school! I told you this year has been really hard and busy and I'm functionally on some 5 hours of sleep right now from work and homework and I just want some sleep -_- But this weekend I have some days off (I'm so happy!) in which I will get reviews and discussions posts out, I swear this time. So without further waiting, this week I'm waiting for Hidden Deep by Amy Patrick. It sounds right up my alley and I can't wait for it to come out! Happy Reading.


Publication: March 23, 2015
Summary: Give in to the Glamour…

Sixteen-year-old Ryann Carroll has just run into the guy who saved her life ten years ago. You might think she'd be happy to see him again. Not exactly. She's a bit underdressed (as in skinny-dipping) and he's not supposed to exist. 

After her father's affair, all Ryann wants is to escape the family implosion fallout and find a little peace. She also wouldn't mind a first date that didn't suck, but she's determined not to end up like her mom: vulnerable, betrayed, destroyed. Ryann's recently moved back to her childhood home in rural Mississippi, the same place where ten years earlier she became lost in the woods overnight and nearly died. 

She's still irresistibly drawn to those woods. There she encounters the boy who kept her from freezing to death that long ago winter night and was nowhere to be seen when rescuers arrived. He's still mysterious, but now all grown-up and gorgeous, too. And the more she's with him, the greater the threat he poses to Ryann's strict policy-- never want someone more than he wants you. 

Seventeen-year-old Lad knows the law of his people all too well: Don't get careless and Don't get caught. It's allowed his race to live undetected in this world for thousands of years, mentioned only in flawed and fading folklore…

Lad's never been able to forget about Ryann since that night ten years ago. When he sees her again, his fascination re-ignites and becomes a growing desire that tempts him to break all the rules. He's not even supposed to talk to a human, much less fall in love with one.

And the timing is atrocious. The Assemblage is coming, the rift between the Light and Dark is widening, and mysterious celebrity fan pods are becoming more and more widespread and influential. Lad may have to trade his own chance at happiness to keep the humans, especially Ryann, blissfully unaware and safe.

Jessamy's life is a balance between acting like an upper class Patron and dreaming of the freedom of the Commoners. But at night she can be whomever she wants when she sneaks out to train for The Fives, an intricate, multi-level athletic competition that offers a chance for glory to the kingdom's best competitors. Then Jes meets Kalliarkos, and an unlikely friendship between a girl of mixed race and a Patron boy causes heads to turn. When a scheming lord tears Jes's family apart, she'll have to test Kal's loyalty and risk the vengeance of a powerful clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death.

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

Hey y'all. Okay so I have a solution for Tuesdays that I only thought of this morning: I will alternate between Teaser Tuesday and Top Ten Tuesday to see if I like one more than the other or something. Also I'm hoping to get some formal reviews out soon and I have small reviews lined up already for this week. Although, if you follow me on Goodreads you would already be able to see those as I tend to write small reviews for every book I read, I just don't post them here because what's the point of posting a couple sentence review???

Anyways, the book I'm waiting for this week is The Summer of Chasing Mermaids by Sarah Ochler. I've only read one book by Ochler, #scandle, and liked it but this book looks more promising and up my alley. I'm really excited for it and hope it turns out great. What are you waiting for this week? Happy Reading.

Publication: June 2nd, 2015
Summary: Sometimes, there are no words… 

The youngest of six talented sisters, Elyse d’Abreau was destined for stardom—until a boating accident took everything from her. Now, the most beautiful singer in Tobago can’t sing. She can’t even speak.

Seeking quiet solitude, Elyse accepts a friend’s invitation to Atargatis Cove. Named for the mythical first mermaid, the Oregon seaside town is everything Elyse’s home in the Caribbean isn’t: An ocean too cold for swimming, parties too tame for singing, and people too polite to pry—except for one.

Christian Kane is a notorious playboy—insolent, arrogant, and completely charming. He’s also the only person in Atargatis Cove who doesn’t treat Elyse like a glass statue. He challenges her to express herself, and he admires the way she treats his younger brother Sebastian, who believes Elyse is the legendary mermaid come to life. 

When Christian needs a first mate for the Cove’s high-stakes Pirate Regatta, Elyse reluctantly stows her fear of the sea and climbs aboard. The ocean isn’t the only thing making waves, though—swept up in Christian’s seductive tide and entranced by the Cove’s charms, Elyse begins to wonder if a life of solitude isn’t what she needs. But changing course again means facing her past. It means finding her inner voice. And scariest of all, it means opening her heart to a boy who’s best known for breaking them . . .

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting for The Girl at Midnight by Melissa Grey because 1. I was completely sold by the line "an ancient race of people with feathers for hair". Sign me up! and 2. I really like the cover, the purple is very pleasing to look at. Hopefully it still ends up being unique and original! What are you waiting for this week? Happy reading.

Publication: April 28th, 2015
Summary: For readers of Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone, The Girl at Midnight is the story of a modern girl caught in an ancient war.

Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known.

Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act.

Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.

But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.

This week I'm waiting for Bridges Burned by Chris Cannon. It is the second book in the Going Down in Flames series and I'm so excited for it. The first book was amazing so I can't wait for this to download to my kindle!! I have it pre-ordered and I don't even have to wait that long for it to come out! If you want a good dragon book, this series is one I would check out. Happy Reading.
P.S. I have other posts I will put up this weekend that I planned to have up last weekend, but the keyboard fully broke and I haven't been able to post anything until we got a new keyboard. Tomorrow is also my last day of finals of the semester so that will help too with time and I can't wait to get my posts out!!

Publication: January 19th, 2015
Summary: Don't just fight the system…burn it.

Since discovering she is a shape-shifting, fire-breathing dragon on her sixteenth birthday (surprise!), Bryn McKenna’s world has been thrown into chaos. Being a “crossbreed”—part Red dragon and part Blue—means Bryn will never fit in. Not with dragon society. Not with the archaic and controlling Directorate. And definitely not when she has striped hair and a not-so-popular affection for rule-breaking…

But sneaking around with her secret boyfriend, Zavien, gets a whole lot harder when he’s betrothed to someone else. Someone who isn't a mixed breed and totally forbidden. And for an added complication, it turns out Bryn’s former archnemesis Jaxon Westgate isn’t quite the evil asshat she thought. Now she’s caught between her desire to fit in and a need to set things on fire. Literally.

Because if Bryn can’t adapt to the status quo…well, then maybe it’s time for her to change it.

This week I'm waiting for Joyride by Anna Banks. It was in my Out with the old, in with the new post but I'm featuring it now so y'all can actually know what's it's about plus I enjoy Banks' writing and books so I hope this turns out great! Happy Reading.

Publication: June 2nd, 2015
Summary: A popular guy and a shy girl with a secret become unlikely accomplices for midnight pranking, and are soon in over their heads—with the law and with each other—in this sparkling standalone from NYT-bestselling author Anna Banks.

It’s been years since Carly Vega’s parents were deported. She lives with her brother, studies hard, and works at a convenience store to contribute to getting her parents back from Mexico.

Arden Moss used to be the star quarterback at school. He dated popular blondes and had fun with his older sister, Amber. But now Amber’s dead, and Arden blames his father, the town sheriff who wouldn’t acknowledge Amber's mental illness. Arden refuses to fulfill whatever his conservative father expects.

All Carly wants is to stay under the radar and do what her family expects. All Arden wants is to NOT do what his family expects. When their paths cross, they each realize they’ve been living according to others. Carly and Arden’s journey toward their true hearts—and one another—is funny, romantic, and sometimes harsh.

This week I'm waiting for A Court of Thorns and Roses by the fabulous Sarah J. Maas. It's not even funny how excited I am for this book - like too excited.

But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

This week I'm waiting for Rook by Sharon Cameron. It's literally a book I stumbled upon and don't really have a lot of ideas what the book is about but that's what basically makes what to read it. That and the fact that it does sound good! My thoughts on this book can be summed up by the picture below that someone posted on Goodreads in response to this book and the description. No one really knows what's going on with the book buuuut.....



Happy Reading!

According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket’s precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales.

A target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection—and a home—in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. But her visions of what’s to come disturb her deeply, especially since she must discover whether the gift of foresight will allow her to rewrite the future, or if her fate is as immovable as the stars.

And in her family's line of work no one can be safe forever.

All Penelope has ever wanted is freedom and independence. But when she’s caught in the crossfire as rival families scramble for prominence, she learns that her wishes come with casualties, that betrayal hurts worse than bruises, that love is a risk worth taking . . . and maybe she’s not as fragile as everyone thinks.

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted on Monday or Tuesday. I was out of town, a whole state away, and didn't have internet connection or a computer to write any posts. But the good news is I have all next week off of school so that means a whole week to write tons of posts! Okay then, this week I'm waiting for Magonia by Maria Headley.

Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who’s always been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea, something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world—and found, by another. Magonia. 

Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships, Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power—and as she navigates her new life, she discovers that war is coming. Magonia and Earth are on the cusp of a reckoning. And in Aza’s hands lies the fate of the whole of humanity—including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties lie?

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm impatiently waiting for Sweet Temptation (The Sweet Trilogy #4) by Wendy Higgins. Hehe, it's the fourth book in a trilogy! No seriously it is, it's the POV of the guy, Kaidan, from all three books. I'm sooooo excited for it as I loved all three books and want to read them in his POV!! Any Sweet Evil fans out there? Well, if you haven't I recommend these books! Happy Reading! Ps. It doesn't have a cover yet :)

Publication: September 8th, 2015 (It's so...far.......away.........)
Summary: Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry. Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan, he’s good at his job. And he’s enjoys it. 

Until he meets Anna Whitt—sweet, smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, she has a certain power over him, one that makes him wish for more than he could ever deserve. 

Determined to save all the Neph from their dark lives as the influencers of sin, Anna joins forces with Kaidan to overcome the demons’ oppressive ways. In the light of her affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of the heart.

Sensual and swoon worthy, this companion volume to the acclaimed Sweet Evil series from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins, told from the perspective of the irresistibly sexy and mysterious Kaidan Rowe, gives readers revealing insights into his struggle, his intense connection to Anna, and most of all, the true emotions that drive him.

Author Note:
Sweet Temptation will encompass parts from the entire trilogy, beginning with Kai's life before he met Anna, and taking us through the epilogue of Sweet Reckoning. Fitting three books into one means not every detail will get shown - I've got to carefully pick and choose. 
This book is not meant to be a stand alone novel. It will definitely be a richer experience if you've read the original trilogy.

I'm waiting for The Sin Eater's Daughter by Melinda Salisburg which I literally discovered ten minutes ago but sounds absolutely amazing. And even though there is a love triangle (-_-), I'm still going to read it because it sounds good enough for me to overcome my aversion to books that have a love triangle. Hopefully you'll think it sounds great too!! Happy Reading.

Publication: February 24th, 2015
Summary: Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she’s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn’t exactly a member of the court.

She’s the executioner.

As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she’s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla’s fatal touch, avoids her company.

But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he’s able to look past Twylla’s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla’s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.

However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla’s problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?

The book I'm waiting for this week is An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. I just happened to stumble upon it today though I'm also pretty sure I've seen it mentioned on twitter by other bloggers. But that's not what matters. What matters is that this book sounds fantastic and something I want to read sometime soon preferably, not that that will happen but here's to hoping that something could turn up! Seriously though, it sounds like it will be a really great book. Happy Reading!

Publication: April 28th, 2015
Summary: Set in a terrifyingly brutal Rome-like world, An Ember in the Ashes is an epic fantasy debut about an orphan fighting for her family and a soldier fighting for his freedom. It’s a story that’s literally burning to be told.

LAIA is a Scholar living under the iron-fisted rule of the Martial Empire. When her brother is arrested for treason, Laia goes undercover as a slave at the empire’s greatest military academy in exchange for assistance from rebel Scholars who claim that they will help to save her brother from execution.

ELIAS is the academy’s finest soldier— and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias is considering deserting the military, but before he can, he’s ordered to participate in a ruthless contest to choose the next Martial emperor.

When Laia and Elias’s paths cross at the academy, they find that their destinies are more intertwined than either could have imagined and that their choices will change the future of the empire itself.

With a ragtag bunch of other women and girls, she has successfully avoided capture and eked out a nomadic but free existence in the mountains. But when Aya’s luck runs out and she’s caught by a group of businessmen on a hunting expedition, fighting to survive takes on a whole new meaning.

Oh would you look at that...another Colleen Hoover (and Tarryn Fisher) book. Oh my gosh, this is so exciting people! Even if you haven't read her books before, you should still be excited because it has the vaguest description ever. But I'm totally looking forward to it. It's called Never Never and comes out next year. Here's to waiting patiently for it. Happy Reading.
