Visit to the bookstore tonight! New Books *Wishlist*

                                  The Eternal Ones - Kirsten Miller
The Eternal OnesI actually am about to start reading this book when I finish blogging. I am kind of nervous because it doesn't seem exactly up my alley, but it keeps popping up everywhere I look so I am going to give it a try.






      Unraveled - Gena Showalter (sequel to Intertwined)
Unraveled
Am I a bad blogger for not knowing about this book before today? I really enjoyed the first one, so I am super excited to get this book and read it.

In intertwined the first novel in this series, Aden has more problems than your run of the mill boy, in that he has 4 souls, stuck in his mind, listening to, reacting to, and discussing with him every little thing he does. He also attracts the dead,... that is, being near them wakes them and they try to kill him. Thne he meets Mary Anne, and she neutralizes whatever it is going on in his brain and they become connected. That itsself is not without problems. It has been a long time since I read this book and for that I apologize for not being able to give a stellar recap, (thus the reason I started the blog!) HOWEVER, I do remember this being a great book and I can't wait to get my hands on Unraveled and see how this story continues.


Nevermore
Nevermore - Kelly Creagh

Is this just the sexiest cover you've ever seen in the young adult section or what?
The back of the novel reads like so, and I will be sure to review it once I get a copy.

Cheerleader Isobel Lanley is horrified when she is paired with Varen Nethers for an English project, which is due—so unfair—on the day of the rival game. Cold and aloof, sardonic and sharp-tongued, Varen makes it clear he’d rather not have anything to do with her either. But when Isobel discovers strange writing in his journal, she can’t help but give this enigmatic boy with the piercing eyes another look.

Soon, Isobel finds herself making excuses to be with Varen. Steadily pulled away from her friends and her possessive boyfriend, Isobel ventures deeper and deeper into the dream world Varen has created through the pages of his notebook, a realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life.
As her world begins to unravel around her, Isobel discovers that dreams, like words, hold more power than she ever imagined, and that the most frightening realities are those of the mind. Now she must find a way to reach Varen before he is consumed by the shadows of his own nightmares.

His life depends on it.


Paranormalcy
Paranormalcy- Kiersten White

This book I have actually been reading about for a while in an email newsletter I get. Seems they are promoting it hard. I don't know much else about the book except what I read on the inside cover which is as follows...

Evie's always thought of herself as a normal teenager, even though she works for the International Paranormal Containment Agency, her ex-boyfriend is a faerie, and she's the only person who can see paranormals for what they really are.


The Haunted (The Hollow, Book 2)

The Haunted - Jessica Verday (The Hollow, Book 2)

Did anyone else notice that The Hollow got a new cover? A few books tonight I noticed at the bookstore actually got new covers. The are already popular books, and new at that, so why the new cover? IDK. Either way, The Hollow, was a great book and to refresh your memory, Abbey's best friend vanishes and everyone assumes she is dead. The two goths spent nearly all their time at the local cemetary and while dealing with Kristens dissapearance, Abbey isn't scared away from their safe hideout and learns things about her best friend that she is hurt to find out.

Betrayal (Immortal)
Beytraval - Gillian Shields ( Sequel to Immortal)

In Immortal, Evie is at an all girls boarding school where she somehow meets Sebastian, a handsome stranger that will only meet her at night. Turns out she is the descendant of someone important to Sebastian and for him to 'live' he must kill her. Considering they have fallen in love this is quite the predicament that hopefully the sequel Betrayal can clear up for us.


Before I Fall
Before I fall - Lauren Oliver
 
We have all heard of this book or at least we should. The thing I am wondering is why? This is not my normal genre but it keeps popping up everywhere I turn. Has anyone read this? Is it worth my time, or is it just another pretty cover?

 
 

Prophecy of the Sisters (Prophecy of the Sisters Trilogy, Book I)

Prophecy of the Sisters - Michelle Zink

Twins, one fated for good, one potentially fated for evil. Nough said.







Fangs for Freaks (Half-Blood Vampire Novels)

Fangs for Freaks - Serena Robar

This new series looks VERY promising, except that it looks almost too easy of a read. Maybe just meant for a little younger audience than me, but I still want to check it out. This is a series about a sorority house for half blood vampires.





Immortal Beloved (Immortal Beloved (Cloth - Trilogy))Immortal Beloved - Cate Tiernan 

After taking a picture of this book on my camera phone and coming home and looking it up, I am really kicking myself for not buying it. Amazon and Barnes and Noble online show it's release date as not being until Sept 7th but my bookstore already had it. Weird. From Amazon, the first paragraph about this book is this "Nastasya has spent the last century living as a spoiled, drugged-out party girl. She feels nothing and cares for no one. But when she witnesses her best friend, a Dark Immortal, torture a human, she realizes something's got to change. She seeks refuge at a rehab for wayward immortals, where she meets the gorgeous, undeniably sexy Reyn, who seems inexplicably linked to her past"

I'm sold. I want this book now.
