Waiting on Wednesday (5)

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

On an irrelevant note, I'm sorry for the lack of reviews this week and last week.  I haven't been able to get much reading done and pretty much have nothing to review... hopefully I'll be back on track soon!

Stolen Nights (Vampire Queen #2) by Rebecca Maizel
Publication: June 21st 2012 by St. Martin's Griffin
Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal
(Not available for pre-order yet)

WARNING: SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!! AVERT YOUR EYES IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE 1ST BOOK!!!!!

Lenah Beaudonte should be dead. But having sacrificed herself to save another, she finds herself awakening with strange powers that are neither vampire nor human - and a new enemy on her trail. In her vampire life, Lenah had thought that being human was all she ever wanted; but the human heart suffers pain, heartbreak and loss. With her new powers growing and the dark force of the Nex after her soul, Lenah faces a choice: between the mortal love of gorgeous Justin, whose passion fed her human soul, and taking a different path to become the mistress of her own destiny, wherever that may lead...

I really enjoyed Infinite Days and have pretty much been waiting two years for the sequel!  There have been no reviews yet but I have think that it will be as good as the first :)

What are you waiting on? Are you excited for this book as well?

Won/For Review:
ARC of Fated by Alyson Noel from St. Martin's Press and LibraryThing Early Reviewers

I've seen other people get ARCs of this one, but it doesn't come out for a while, so I haven't seen many reviews yet.  It sounds good though, and this is the first time I've won something from LibraryThing so I can't wait to read it!

Waiting on Wednesday (4)

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

Crewel (Crewel World #1) by Gennifer Albin
Publication: October 16th, 2012 by Farrar, Strauss and Giroux Books for Young
Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Fantasy

Incapable. Awkward. Artless.

That’s what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: she wants to fail.

Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she’s exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But if controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn’t interested.

Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and wove a moment at testing, and they’re coming for her—tonight.

Now she has one hour to eat her mom’s overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister’s academy gossip and laugh at her Dad’s stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything’s okay. And one hour to escape.

Because once you become a Spinster, there’s no turning back.

I don't think I've seen any reviews for this one yet... but I'm in love with the cover and the synopsis!  I can't wait for October :D

What are your thoughts?  Are you excited for this book as well?  :)

Cover Reveal: Heaven by Alexandra Adornetto

Heaven (Halo #3) by Alexandra Adornetto

Publication: August 21st, 2012 by Feiwel and Friends

Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal

Pre-Order: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository

Only sixteen when she started the series, Ally Adornetto knows how teen hearts beat, and this long-awaited conclusion is certain to be her most popular book yet.

Bethany, an angel sent to Earth, and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier, have been to Hell and back. But now their love will be put to its highest test yet, as they defy Heavenly law and marry. They don’t tell Beth’s archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, but the angels know soon enough, and punishment comes in a terrifying form: the Sevens, who are rogue angels bent on keeping Beth and Xavier apart, destroying Gabriel and Ivy, and darkening angelic power in the heavens.

The only way Bethany and Xavier can elude the Sevens is to hide in the open, and blend in with other mortals their own age. Gabriel and Ivy set them up at college, where they can’t reveal their relationship, and where there is still danger around each corner. Will Bethany be called back to Heaven – forever – and face leaving the love of her life?

Isn't the cover pretty? I actually love all the covers in this series, even though I haven't read it yet.


I've also heard some mixed things about this series, but I want to give it a try sometime in the future.  I think it's cool that she was only 16 when she wrote Halo though.

So, what are your thoughts on the cover? Are you a fan of this series?
