Description:


Friday 56: ARC Edition

".. But more disturbing is the continued actions of Curtis Shaw and Caroline Flynn. While their actions do not constitute a legitimate escape attempt, and they will therefore not receive detention, their repeated disregard for the rules will not be tolerated."

Book Description:

Benson Fisher thought that a scholarship to Maxfield Academy would be the ticket out of his dead-end life.
He was wrong.
Now he’s trapped in a school that’s surrounded by a razor-wire fence. A school where video cameras monitor his every move. Where there are no adults. Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive.
Where breaking the rules equals death.
But when Benson stumbles upon the school’s real secret, he realizes that playing by the rules could spell a fate worse than death, and that escape—his only real hope for survival—may be impossible.

Leviathan Series #3

I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of Goliath by Scott Westerfeld.
Goliath will take us back to the ship Leviathan for the conclusion of an amazing series. I bought the audiobook of the first two books to take with me on a massive road trip this summer and I was amazed at this riveting tale of airships and of friendships. What will happen as so many of the secrets that the characters hold come to light? Yes Mr. Westerfeld do tell.

Teaser Tuesday: The Fox Inheritance

The Fox Inheritance
by Mary Pearson
Released August 2011

Description:

Once there were three. Three friends who loved each other—Jenna, Locke, and Kara. And after a terrible accident destroyed their bodies, their three minds were kept alive, spinning in a digital netherworld. Even in that disembodied nightmare, they were still together. At least at first. When Jenna disappeared, Locke and Kara had to go on without her. Decades passed, and then centuries.

Two-hundred-and-sixty years later, they have been released at last. Given new, perfect bodies, Locke and Kara awaken to a world they know nothing about, where everyone they once knew and loved is long dead.

Everyone except Jenna Fox.

Teaser:

Now what? I've solved us right into a corner. And I'm starving.

ARC p.110

yes, right?1 What a tease.

I love this series. It reminds me of the Wired series by Robin Wasserman in a way, but with this great trio of characters. At first there was Jenna, and now the tale continues with Locke and Kara.

I was on a major hiatus! I am back.

Having massive family circumstances I had to pull away from the internet for awhile, yes *gasp* but I have been reading like wild. I hope to have the blog back up and running ASAP!

WoW: Iron Knight

OMG Here it is Peeps! The Cover Reveal for the Iron Knight. No seriously hold that coffee and don't drop it as you faint, right?!

Now there is not much that has been released so far, but this just wets the palate for what is to come.

Enojy.

It is Monday, whatcha Reading? (2)

Solstice by P.J. Hoover was recently released and I just ordered my copy for my Kindle app. I have a massive car ride ahead of me later this week and I am loading my devices up for the night ride.

The more that I have been hearing about this book, the more I am anticipating reading it. The premise of the book is right up my I Heart Dystopian FanGirl alley and the characters are described so richly that I feel I am in their world too from the first chapters that I have read online.

So if you are looking for a fantastic e-read, snap Solstice while it is in sale. For $2.99, less than a mocha you can read something that is going to be utterly amazing.

BLURB:

My world is dying. Global warming will kill every living thing on Earth. I endure the endless summer, and do what I can to help. Until one day…

I open a box, and everything changes.

I discover a world of mythology parallel to my own. A world where gods battle for control, and monsters feed in the rivers of the Underworld. This dark world pulls me in and tells me I belong.

I meet Shayne, who keeps secrets from me. And Reese, who makes me feel alive. But I almost lose my best friend and my life. I don't want to leave this new world. But can I choose the life I want, without sacrificing the people I love?

SOLSTICE is P.J. Hoover’s debut YA novel and is the first front-list novel to be independently published by an Andrea Brown Literary Agency author.

Here is also their great trailer:

Forever

I have to say it: I love the wolves. When Shiver was released it captivated me as a reader since it brought in a whole new perspective in so far as the saga of shifters go. Linger gave me tears and Forever gives me hope and apprehension.

I enjoyed the changing POV in the story and the characters sucked me into their existence. So I love the trailer that came out for the book by Maggie, it ttoally feels like the book to me, and can you see all of those lovely spines from the series around the world in the background! That is some extra special sauce here for me.
