Now that
we’re more than halfway through 2015 (Good lord), I thought I’d share the books
I’m most looking forward to reading when they release in the next few months.
(The Dark Elements #3)
Publication

YA, Paranormal
Some loves will last ’til your
dying breath
Every choice has consequences—but
seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness.
Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she
never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of
herself to trust.
Layla has a new problem, too. A
Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those
around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse
than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and
her race—from destruction.
Torn between two worlds and two
different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially
when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets
are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your
heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…
My Thoughts
Hate the cover change, but I love this series! Books one and
two were my favorite of 2014, so I hope Every
Last Breath is just as fantastic!
Oh, and Team Roth ftw!

her past . . .

YA, Fantasy, LGBT
Rainbow Rowell continues to break
boundaries with Carry On, an epic fantasy following the triumphs and heartaches of Simon and
Baz from her beloved bestseller Fangirl.
Simon Snow just wants to relax and
savor his last year at the Watford School of Magicks, but no one will let him.
His girlfriend broke up with him, his best friend is a pest, and his mentor
keeps trying to hide him away in the mountains where maybe he’ll be safe. Simon
can’t even enjoy the fact that his roommate and longtime nemesis is missing,
because he can’t stop worrying about the evil git. Plus there are ghosts. And
vampires. And actual evil things trying to shut Simon down. When you’re the
most powerful magician the world has ever known, you never get to relax and
savor anything.
Carry
On is a ghost story, a love story, a
mystery and a melodrama. It has just as much kissing and talking as you’d
expect from a Rainbow Rowell story — but far, far more monsters.
My Thoughts
It’s getting closer…and closer…yes…yessssss…YES!
A Mad Zombie Party
(White Rabbit Chronicles #4)
Publication Date: September 29, 2015
Paperback, 672
pages, Harlequin Teen
Genres: YA, Paranormal
The battle rages on.
Ali Bell and Cole Holland's crew of
zombie slayers thought they'd won the war against Anima Industries, the evil
company responsible for capturing and experimenting on zombies in an effort to
discover the secret to immortality. In the last epic clash, the slayers lost
many of their crew and closest friends. But Frosty, the ice man himself, has
not recovered from one casualty in particular—the love of his life, Kat Parker.
On the path to self-annihilation,
Frosty receives a message from beyond—Kat's spirit returns, insisting he
partner with rogue slayer Camilla Marks. Frosty will do anything for Kat.
Except that. Camilla is the one who betrayed them all, leading to Kat's death.
But when Anima rises from the grave
to become a force the slayers may not have the strength to overcome, Frosty,
Camilla and all the slayers will have to work together to survive. And one
broken slayer will learn that sometimes, the line between hate and attraction
is blurred…and the road to redemption isn't through revenge, but in letting go
of the past and grabbing hold of the future.
My Thoughts
I’m not sure how I feel about Frosty getting his own spinoff
book. Oh well, at least there’s more Cole. ;)

What books are you looking forward to in the rest of 2015?
I am so pumped for Carry On too!
