Today I've got information about bestselling author Richelle Mead's upcoming series The Glittering Court and the special preorder bonus Penguin is offering to readers who register their preorder!
Genre: young adult fantasy
Status: Book 1 of the Glittering Court trilogy (each book can stand alone)
Summary: For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy family is forcing her into a loveless marriage, the Glittering Court represents something else: the chance to chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled, prosperous new land across the sea.
After a chance meeting with the dazzling Cedric Thorn, Adelaide poses as a servant to join the crop of impoverished girls he promises to transform into proper ladies. But her familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she must hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious refugee Mira and fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most importantly, from Cedric himself—even though she’s falling in love with him.
Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers Adelaide’s ruse, and she catches the eye of a powerful young governor, who wants her for a wife. She didn’t leave the gilded cage of her old life behind just to become someone else's property. But nothing is as daunting—or as wonderful—as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering between Adelaide and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their deaths.

I liked this one a lot! It was my second Mead book (the first being Soundless), and I liked it a lot more than Soundless. :D I love the idea of this series being a companion series! Less painful waiting. ;)

It was definitely tough to wait for ALLLLL the Vampire Academy books and ALLLLLL the Bloodlines books for sure. I recommend you give them a try! They're full of sass and humor and romance and FEELS!
