Talon
Talon #1

by Julie Kagawa

Coming October 28, 2014

Harlequin Teen

Summary:

Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.

Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.

Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

Why I want it:

Um, I love Julie. Duh. Her stories are so unique, always mixing different creatures and mythologies. Her writing has only gotten better since the beginning, and she's showing no signs of stopping, let alone slowing down.

Why I think you should want it:
 Um, dragons. That is all. There is always room for more dragons in ya. Also, if you know Julie at ALL, you know dragons are kind of her thing. Fairies and vampires are all well and good, but Julie is SO PASSIONATE about dragons that she makes adorable little dragon figurines in her spare time. This is sure to be a hit for that alone, but when you add in Julie's penchant for sexy and sweet boys and forcing emotional trauma on her readers... well, you know we're all going to be having a big ole case of the feels come October.

The Forever Song
Blood of Eden #3

April 15, 2014

Summary:

VENGEANCE WILL BE HERS

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster?

With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.

MONSTER

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie.

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.

Why I want it:

Oh, boy. This series. When The Immortal Rules came out, I was kind of worried about it. I had enjoyed the Iron Fey series, but it wasn't a favorite, and also, combining vampires and a dystopian/post-apocalyptic world was a pretty risky move considering vampires were on the decline and dystopian was in its hey-day. I wondered how on earth this series would manage to stand out among all the others. I worried for nothing. I was immediately drawn in to this gritty story. I love Allie, who is one of the strongest ya protagonists ever. She's so incredibly brave and unendingly loyal. I'm also a big fan of Kanin and Zeke, who are both yummy in their own ways. I'm 100% emotionally invested in this story, and the end of The Eternity Cure ripped my heart out and stomped on it while I watched helplessly. Basically, I'm pretty desperate for this final installment!

Why I think you should want it:

If you're looking for a book that will probably destroy you emotionally, I firmly suggest this as a candidate. It's so well-written. Julie's talent ratcheted up with this world. There's also a surprising amount of dark humor in it, which is really entertaining. Jackal is a jackass, but he adds a lightness to the story that it wouldn't have otherwise. All of the characters are well-rounded and dynamic, even Sarren, who is the kind of psychopathic antagonist you can't do anything but hate. I mean total loathing here. You don't have to worry about pitying him or attempting to feel glad about his possible redemption. Nope. Total baddie in the best way. He's like a vampiric Voldemort, and I love it! Also, this series is a return to more traditional vampiric lore. The vamps need blood, and there's not a whole lot of daywalking going on. Critics of all the liberties ya authors have taken with vampire legend should be appeased with Julie's vampires. They are cold and ruthless. Just thinking about it gives me chills. Seriously, give this series a chance because it's incredible.

Have you read the other two books in the Blood of Eden series? What did you think? Are you anticipating The Forever Song as much as I am? As always, please share your picks for WoW and your links!

Top Ten Tuesday #35: Books That Make Me Cry

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and The Bookish. Each week the girls at B&B think up a fun theme, and participating bloggers post their favorite 10 books in that category. This week's theme is

Top Ten Books That Make Me Sob Like a Little Child

Just leave me alone to wallow in my misery, okay? I'm an emotional person, and I can cry reading almost any book, listening to any song, watching any tv show or movie or commercial about the military or puppies, or when I think about something mildly upsetting. I should have been an actress. My ability to tear up on command is quite impressive. These books are the worst of the worst, or perhaps, the best of the best. When I need to emotionally vomit, these books always get me. These books cleanse the soul.

The Contemporaries

1. Winger by Andrew Smith. I cried myself to sleep upon finishing Winger, and Andrew Smith took great joy in hearing it. His response to me when I tweeted never fails to make me laugh and cry simultaneously. I'm honestly weepy RIGHT NOW just thinking about the TWEET. Not even the book itself, just the tweet. The book, well, that's an entirely different story. So good. So incredibly good. But did Andrew have to make me fall so hard, only to rip away the element I fell for? Apparently he did. Brilliant bastard.

2. Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz. Looking at this cover, you probably think it's some sort of flimsy, shallow summer romance all about a girl getting some. You would be wrong. This cover does this book such a disservice, I think. It's a cool cover, but it's all wrong for this book. It's not the book I just described at all. It's so deep and covers a lot of emotion. Then, you think you've finally gained control of yourself, only to be ripped open and thrown into the ocean for the salt to burn your traumatized feelings. Major ouch.

The Paranormals

 

3. Elegy by Tara Hudson. This book. I mean, really. I knew. I just knew this was the ending. Every time I racked my brain wondering how Tara would conclude Amelia and Josh's (but mostly Amelia's) story, this was the only feasable ending. And DAMNIT I WAS RIGHT. I didn't want to be. But I was. And it hurt me like my heart was raked over a hundred rusty razor blades.

4. Goddess by Josephine Angelini. I felt sucker punched by this. I really did. So much going on, so many beloved characters. I'm surprised Josie took so much care when she had the ability to just lay waste to everything just to watch it burn, but I was incredibly surprised by her restraint. Still, that didn't make it hurt any less when things got real. In fact, it hurt more because I knew she cared about the story, the characters. It would hurt less if things went badly because then I could say she did a bad job, and this ending wasn't real. This is turning out to be a terribly back-handed compliment, and I don't mean it to be. I think it's like the difference between blowing up an entire town vs just targeting a select few houses with all your favorite people in it. Brilliantly done for maximum feels.

5. Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead. Goddess was a sucker punch, but I honestly never saw the end of Shadow Kiss coming. I was taken completely by surprise, and I wept. After reading this, I thought I'd never be happy again, let alone Rose. I had no idea where the series would go because for three books, Richelle leads us to this wonderful, happy, amazing pinnacle of awesome, and then BAM. She takes it all away in an instant. It's a testament to her phenomenal writing and the trust I had in her that I didn't put that book down and never pick up another. It's the most horrible, destructively beautiful ending, and it led to some incredible scenes in the later books and a great overarching series plot. I just didn't know it.

The Sci-Fi/Fantasies

6. Shades of Earth by Beth Revis. Oof. Right in the feels. So many intense moments. There's the one with the ship where that thing happens, and I was like, "NOOOOO!" and then there was the other one with the other spaceship where that thing happens, and I was like, "NOOOOO!" and then there was the other other one with the other other spaceship where that thing happens, and I was like, *sobs inconsolably* and I probably threw this book because my heart hurt so badly.

7. These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner. I just...I can't, guys. I can't. I read it and broke down. A month later, I listened to the audiobook, and listening to narrator Johnathan McClain lose it made me break down all over again, even though I was expecting it!

8. The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa. This is my favorite meeting-an-author story so I apologize (sorry but not sorry kind of apology) if you've heard it once or twice or fifty times. I had just finished Eternity Cure when I met Julie. I told her she wrecked me with this book. Her response: "I hope you cry more reading The Forever Song than you did with this one!" When I saw her at YAK Fest, she reiterated these hopes, but she softened the blow by saying she cried AND her editor cried. Wait, softened? Somehow, I am not comforted...

The In-a-Class-by-Themselves

 

9. The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. This series is literally about kids dying. If you didn't cry once, either you are broken or you are amazing. I can't figure out which.

10. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. From Goblet of Fire on, I was one melty mess of a puddle. It's like JKR figured out who my favorite characters were...and then killed them all. Except for Neville. I guess she knew Matthew Lewis was going to grow up to be a hottie and that we'd need him to take away our feels.

Other excellent books for the destruction of my tear ducts:

Delirium by Lauren Oliver (just the first one). Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (obviously). My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (also obviously). Spell Bound by Rachel Hawkins (I'm in denial over this one). Prodigy by Marie Lu. Chemical Garden trilogy by Lauren DeStefano. Newsoul trilogy by Jodi Meadows. Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. If I Stay by Gayle Forman. Just One Day by Gayle Forman. Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi. The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand.

Cover Love 7

There have been a bunch of cover reveals as of late so I thought I'd just round up a bunch and share them all for anyone who has missed them. This is a pretty gorgeous bunch. I know I'm excited about them. Enjoy!

I know I already shared this cover, but I love it so much that I wanted to share it again!

Summary:

According to the guys at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up with, and the kind you're friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player.

With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time.

But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.

I'm not entirely sure when the cover for Nantucket Red was released, but I just saw it and wanted to share. Nantucket Blue was really good, and I have a feeling this one is going to just destroy me.

Summary:

Cricket Thompson's lifetime of overachieving has paid off: she's headed to Brown University in the fall, with a spot on the lacrosse team and a scholarship that covers almost everything. Who knew living in the dorm cost money? An Ivy League education seems to mean living at home for the next four years.

When Cricket is offered the chance to earn enough cash to afford a real college experience, she heads back to Nantucket for the summer. But the faraway island challenges Cricket in ways she hadn't anticipated. It's hard to focus on earning money for next year, when she finds her world opening up in entirely new ways-to art, to travel, and, most unexpectedly, to a future completely different from the one she has been working toward her whole life. A friendship blossoms with Ben, the gorgeous surfer and bartender who encourages Cricket to be free, even as she smarts at the pain of seeing Zack, her first love, falling for her worst enemy.

But one night, when Cricket finally lets herself break all her own rules, she realizes she may have ruined her carefully constructed future with one impulsive decision. Cricket must dig deep to fight for her future, discovering that success isn't just about reaching goals, but also about listening to what she's been trying to ignore-her own heart.

I have never read one of Elizabeth Fama's books before, but this cover makes me want to pick this one up. I love it!

Plus One

Farrar, Straus, and Giroux

April 8, 2014

Summary:

Divided by day and night and on the run from authorities, star-crossed young lovers unearth a sinister conspiracy in this compelling romantic thriller.

Seventeen-year-old Soleil Le Coeur is a Smudge—a night dweller prohibited by law from going out during the day. When she fakes an injury in order to get access to and kidnap her newborn niece—a day dweller, or Ray—she sets in motion a fast-paced adventure that will bring her into conflict with the powerful lawmakers who order her world, and draw her together with the boy she was destined to fall in love with, but who is also a Ray.

Set in a vivid alternate reality and peopled with complex, deeply human characters on both sides of the day-night divide, Plus One is a brilliantly imagined drama of individual liberty and civil rights, and a fast-paced romantic adventure story.

I need this book so badly that it physically hurts, which is funny because I know as soon as I have it, I will emotionally hurt from all the feels Julie's going to drop on me.

Summary:

After her little sister mysteriously vanishes, seventeen-year-old Claire Graham has a choice to make: stay snug in her little corner of Manhattan with her dropout boyfriend, or go back to Ohio to face the hometown tragedy she's been dying to leave behind.

But the memories of that night still haunt her in the city, and as hard as she tries to forget what her psychiatrist calls her "delusions," Claire can't seem to escape the wolf's eyes or the blood-speckled snow. Delusion or reality, Claire knows she has to hold true to the most important promise she's ever made: to keep Ella safe. She must return to her sleepy hometown in order to find Ella and keep her hallucinations at bay before they strike again. But time is quickly running out, and as Ella's trail grows fainter, the wolves are becoming startlingly real.

Now Claire must deal with her attraction to Grant, the soft-spoken boy from her past that may hold the secret to solving her sister's disappearance, while following the clues that Ella left for only her to find. Through a series of cryptic diary entries, Claire must unlock the keys to Ella's past—and her own—in order to stop another tragedy in the making, while realizing that not all things that are lost are meant to be found.

100 Sideways Miles

September 2014

Summary:

Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince himself that he’s a real boy and not just a character in his father’s bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved.

Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.

Top Ten Tuesday #34: DO NOT WANT

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and The Bookish. Each week the girls at B&B think up a fun theme, and participating bloggers post their favorite 10 books in that category. This week's theme is

Top Ten Worlds I Would NOT Inhabit/Characters I Would Not Trade Places With If They Payed Me in Solid Gold

I know the actual title of this post seems mean, but I would never, ever want to permanently inhabit these places or be these characters.

1. Katniss/Panem, The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. No. I'm sorry. No amount of boys passing me life-sustaining carbs would ever be able to force me to choose to live in Panem. Love the series, but that country is so messed up.

2. Cassie, The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. Terrifying. The United States that Cassie knows is utterly terrifying. Like, wet-your-pants-might-as-well-curl-up-and-die-because-you're-going-to-anyway brand of terrifying.

3. Amelia, Hereafter trilogy by Tara Hudson. Oh, Amelia. This series is lovely, but so incredibly heartbreaking. I wouldn't want to switch places with Amelia because she's strong enough to make the decisions she did. I don't know if I would have been.

4. David/Newcago, Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. I love superhero stories, but this is a superhero horror story. The guys who should be good? Yeah, they're despicable, murderous monsters. Nothankyou.

5. Allie, Blood of Eden trilogy by Julie Kagawa. Vampires plagued with a superiority complex, a super bug, horrifically genetically engineered canibalistic monsters, and a psychopathic genius. Um...I'll pass. This series is so ridiculously good and wrings all the feels out of me, but I could never live in it. I would die. Literally. Immediately. Just...*poof* *iz ded* *rabids go nom nom nom*

6. Liesel/WWII Germany, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The most heartbreaking of this list, I think, because it was a real place and a real time. I can't even begin to imagine the sorrows of the people during that time.

7. The peculiar children in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Creepy, creepy world those kids live in. They have powers, yes, but they are hunted for them, and the only semi-safe option they have is to hide themselves away from the world a la Peter Pan and the Lost Boys and relive the same day over and over and over and over and over.... Never growing up and getting to experience all life has to offer is a horrible thing, and I pity them. They're in their 70s and 80s, and yet, they're still only children.

8. Meghan & Ethan Chase/The Nevernever, Iron Fey & Iron Fey: Forgotten series by Julie Kagawa. Julie sure knows how to write 'em. The Nevernever, aka Faery is the worst. I'd actually take the world in Blood of Eden over the Nevernever because at least Allie knows where she stands. The Nevernever and its inhabitants are always scheming to do you grevious damage, the least of which is death. Give me a dang sword or a branch or whatever, and I'll at least make a stand against the rabids, but in the Iron Fey series, your own words can destroy you faster than a weapon ever could.

9. Ember, Article 5 trilogy by Kristen Simmons. More than some other highly excellent and creeptastic future dystopians (Divergent, Delirium, Legend, Wither, etc), the Article 5 series really does scare me because I can honestly see how we could go from our society today to the shambling country Ember and Chase reside in. This one hits me especially close to home because quite literally, half of the series takes place in my hometown. The square my mom and I watch Shakespeare plays in each summer? Scene to brutal mobs and murder. Wonderful series, but it scares the crap out of me.

10. Tina Fey, Bossypants by Tina Fey. Wait, no, that's a lie. I do want to be Tina Fey. I can do her Sarah Palin impersonation and everything!

Actual #10. Alina/Ravka, Grisha trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. Unless Mal/The Darkling/Sturmhond/Nikolai are all shirtless at all times and hanging out with me exclusively, Ravka is not a place I would want to live. It's terrifying. Thanks a lot, Leigh. You create the men of my dreams and place them in the world of my nightmares. You did that on purpose.

So that's my list. Some real (or at least more realistic) worlds, some fantastical, some silly. All are stunningly horrific, and that's one reason I really love all those books.  What's on  your list this week? Share your links!

Cover Love 6: An update

I have only two new(ish) covers to share this week, and an update to a previous cover love post.

First off, I want to share the cover of Grim, which is an anthology I discovered A LONG FREAKING TIME ago. I've had it on my TBR for ages so I'm really glad to finally have a creepy cover and a release date to go along with it. If you haven't heard of Grim yet, go ahead and add it because, seriously, look at the list of authors contributing. Kagawa. Pearce. Hopkins. McEntire. Gray. Derting. Gensler. Gratton. Rees Brennan. Smith-Ready. Hopkins. Hocking. Oh, yeah. It's gonna be good.

I admit, I'm pretty disappointed with this. With "Unite Me," Harper had the opportunity to do one last lovely cover for the Shatter Me series. Instead, I think they took the lazy route by reusing the covers of "Destroy Me" and "Fracture Me" (which will be on the back cover). There is added material as well, for the record, which is my extra reason for wanting another cover. Recycling is all well and good, but not for book covers.

It also features an exclusive look into Juliette’s journal and a preview of Ignite Me, the hotly anticipated final novel of the series.

A few weeks ago, I shared the cover to The Treatment, Suzanne Young's hotly anticipated sequel to The Program. PPersonally, I loved it. However, response was so positive for the case cover (the special, secret image to be printed directly on the book) that they SWITCHED images. The old jacket cover with the pill is now the case cover, and the case cover is now the jacket cover. Not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed with this move because I preferred the pill as the cover (I thought it fit well with the original better) and the new cover as the case cover, but I won't split hairs. It's going to be an amazing book regardless.

Summary:

Can Sloane and James survive the lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end? Find out in this sequel to The Program, which Publishers Weekly called “chilling and suspenseful.”

How do you stop an epidemic?

Sloane and James are on the run after barely surviving the suicide epidemic and The Program. But they’re not out of danger. Huge pieces of their memories are still missing, and although Sloane and James have found their way back to each other, The Program isn’t ready to let them go.

Escaping with a group of troubled rebels, Sloane and James will have to figure out who they can trust, and how to take down The Program. But for as far as they’ve come, there’s still a lot Sloane and James can’t remember. The key to unlocking their past lies with the Treatment—a pill that can bring back forgotten memories, but at a high cost. And there’s only one dose.

Ultimately when the stakes are at their highest, can Sloane and James survive the many lies and secrets surrounding them, or will The Program claim them in the end?

 So, to recap a bit, here is the JACKET cover of The Program:
