Wait For You: Cover Reveal

Wait for You by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

 

 

Some things are worth waiting for…

 

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

 

Some things are worth experiencing…

 

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

 

Some things should never be kept quiet…

 

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

 

And some things are worth fighting for…

Deception Cover Reveal

Deception by C.J. Redwine

 

Baalboden has been ravaged. The brutal Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And Rachel, grief stricken over her father's death, needs Logan more than ever. With their ragged group of survivors struggling to forge a future, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival Carrington's army, who is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group decides to abandon the ruins of their home and take their chances in the Wasteland.



But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos and uncertainty of each day puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. Even worse, as it becomes clear that the Commander will stop at nothing to destroy them, the band of survivors begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether, hunted by their enemies and the murderous traitor in their midst, they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.

In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.

 

Release Date: August 27th 2013

 

Defiance had a gorgeous cover and I didn't think that the second book's could even live up to the first's. Boy was I wrong.

This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

 

The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter

 

Love or life.
Henry or their child.
The end of her family or the end of the world.
Kate must choose.

During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.

In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.

With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.

Even if it costs her eternity.

 

Release Date: February 26th, 2013

 

I forgot about how much I loved this series until I finally managed to read The Goddess Legacy a few days ago. I love how completely different Carter's writing style is and how quirky her characters can be. And I'm super excited to find out what the heck happened after that ginormous cliffhanger she left us all hanging on!

 

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?

 

Captive Prince Books: (ADULT)

So recently I read these books. And these books were freakin' awesome! And I just don't know how to explain to you how awful they've made my life now that I have to wait for the third book, so I'm just going to encourage you to be miserable with me...

 

Captive Prince: Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 by S.U. Pacat

 

Volume One:

 

Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the truthful heir to the throne of Akielos, but when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave.

Beautiful, manipulative and deadly, his new master Prince Laurent epitomizes the worst of the court at Vere. But in the lethal political web of the Veretian court, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen finds himself caught up in a play for the throne, he must work together with Laurent to survive and save his country.

For Damen, there is just one rule: never, ever reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else...

 

Volume Two:

 

With their countries on the brink of war, Damen and his new master Prince Laurent must exchange the intrigues of the palace for the sweeping might of the battlefield as they travel to the border to avert a lethal plot.

Forced to hide his identity, Damen finds himself drawn to the dangerous, charismatic Laurent. But as the fledgling trust between the two men deepens, the truth of secrets from both their pasts is poised to deal them the crowning death blow...

 

Yes, these are M/M Romance and this is the first time I've ever blogged about any LGBT books, but these things are too unbelievable to NOT share. I tried so very hard to convey my feelings on these books a month ago when I first read them, but blogspot was being stupid. So unfortunately my feelings aren't all fresh and superbly giddy like they were because I'm trying my darndest to calm down a little. (Believe me if you read them you would understand why I'm so upset about having to wait for a third book.)

 

 

Now, these books are going to be released for the VERY FIRST TIME EVER in paperback and

e-book on February 4, 2013. Before that they were available online as free reads. However, buying a copy will actually get you a pretty map like this:

 



Or bonus material should you purchase the e-book version.

Release Date: Feb. 4, 2013

 

Captive Prince Vol. 1 on Amazon

Captive Prince Vol. 2 on Amazon

 

Believe me when I say, you will not regret purchasing these books. And you most certainly will not regret reading them. (That is until you get to the end of Vol. 2 and have to wait for Vol. 3. [And no, I am not bitter.])

This week, what's really got my pages in a twist is...

 

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins

 

Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures. But when Izzy’s older sister vanishes without a trace while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break.

Izzy and her mom move to a new town, but they soon discover it’s not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to prove her worth and investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. For a tough girl who's always been on her own, it’s strange to suddenly make friends and maybe even have a crush.

Can Izzy trust her new friends to help find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt?

Rachel Hawkins' delightful spin-off brings the same wit and charm as the New York Times best-selling Hex Hall series. Get ready for more magic, mystery and romance!

 

Release Date: May 14, 2013

 

It just sounds so cute! And I'm happy that Sophie and Archer's world isn't going to end just yet. Also, I've heard that the boy is an asthmatic named Dex. EEEK!

Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

 

 

Walking Disaster is Travis' POV.

How much is too much to love?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.

 

Release Date: Apirl 16, 2013

 

I thought Beautiful Disaster was really good. And Travis, oh Travis, to know what he was thinking during his adventures with Abby would be sweet! Not to mention HAWT!

2013 Must-Haves

We all have those books that we just can't wait to get our hands on and these are mine:

 

 

Altered by Jennifer Rush

 

Just look at this cover, isn't it dreamy. *Sigh* Plus the storyline sounds good, too.

 

Vortex by Julie Cross

 

Tempest was a total surprise for me. So I'm super-duper excited to read more about Jackson's adventures.

 

Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi

 

Under the Never Sky was beautiful and crazy and I just loved it, so naturally the sequel would have to be on my list of anticapted 2013 releases.

 

Everbound by Brodi Ashton

 

Have you read the first book? If you have you know why I want this.

 

 

 With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent

I've been addicted to this series since book one and the last installment is going to answer some major questions and I can't wait to see the chaos the answers cause.

The Collector by Victoria Scott

This book's plot sounds great, but honestly, I think I would buy it even if it sounded totally ridiculous because this cover is pure genius.

Unbreakable by Elizabeth Norris

Just amazing, right?

Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins

Read the first book, loved it. Can't wait to read some more Kaidan.

School Spirits by Rachel Hawkins

The Hex Hall series was hilarious and awesome, so this is an obvious must-have.

Awaken by Meg Cabot

It's Meg freakin' Cabot. There's no explanation needed.

Dare You To by Katie McGarry

Pushing the Limits was a work of literary genius.

A Trick of the Light by Lois Metzger

I don't know what it is about this book, but I just WANT it.


And that completes my 2013 must-haves. Not counting the books that don't have covers yet, like Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout and Endless Knight by Kresley Cole.









 

Poison Princess Review

Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

 

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.

She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen year old Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can’t do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side….

 

My Review:

 

Let me just start off by saying that I LOVE Kresley Cole's adult books, so going into this book I absolutely knew without a doubt that I wouldn't regret reading it. 

 

The beginning of the book was amazing! There was the typical bad-boy-meets-girl scenario but Jack Deveaux is anything but typical. Every word out of his mouth had me sighing and laughing and just wanting one of my own. His character is just pure genius! And if you don't believe me check out Jack's Top Ten Tips to Win Over a Girl here. Did you read it? Because that #1 is pretty much how Jack is throughout the whole story. He's lovely.

 

Okay, I promised myself that I would make this an actual review and not just a total fan-girl over Jack so let's talk about the plot. Like I said before the first part of the book was great. It was an average high school setting which I really liked, then something weird happened. We move forward in time and everything's completely changed. And this isn't a gradual change, but an all-of-the-sudden-holy-crap-what's-going-on change. I didn't like how it happened but once I got the gist of the story I came to accept it.

 

All in all this book was another amazing addition to the greatness that is Kresley Cole's books. Reading it will definitely brighten your day and make you wish you had your very own Jack Deveaux.

 

4/5 stars 

 

*Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher. This in no way altered my opinion/review.
