Hi everybody! Well, this is too my first week participating in "On My Wishlist" weekly meme so I'll try to keep it simple... But I'll just try, of course... xD
So, I just posted about a book I want to read a lot but I'll write about it again:
Name: Everneath
Author: Brodi Ashton
Release Date: January 3rd, 2012
Summary from Goodreads:
Last spring, Nikki Beckett vanished, sucked into an underworld known as the Everneath, where immortals Feed on the emotions of despairing humans.
Now she's returned- to her old life, her family, her friends- before being banished back to the underworld... this time forever. She has six months before the Everneath comes to claim her, six months for good-byes she can't find the words for, six months to find redemption, if it exists.
Nikki longs to spend these months reconnecting with her boyfriend, Jack, the one person she loves more than anything. But there's a problem: Cole, the smoldering immortal who first enticed her to the Everneath, has followed Nikki to the mortal world. And he'll do whatever it takes to bring her back- this time as his queen.
Name: The girl in the steel corset
Author: Kady Cross
Release Date: Already released
Summary From Goodreads:
In 1897 England, sixteen-year-old Finley Jayne has no one except the thing inside her.When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full-grown man with one punch.
Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gaslit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits. Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam, who is part robot; and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret.
Griffin's investigating a criminal called The Machinist, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatons. Finley thinks she can help and finally be a part of something, finally fit in. Hopefully, I'll have this book in a few days (a friend from England that is coming to visit in a few days will bring it to me... I just hope she doesn't forget to buy it xD).
Name: Starcrossed
Author: Josephine Angelini
Release Date: Already released
Summary from Goodreads:
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood . . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together—and trying to tear them apart.
And yes, my friend should be bringing this book too... yayyyyy!!! So, maybe in a couple of days the last two books will move to my TBR pile xD
What about you, guys?
Hey Hey!
ReplyDeleteThese are some great picks! I think I actually read the query letter that the author of Everneath sent to her agent when I was looking up novel writing advice. Interesting.

Good choices. I can tell you right now the Girl in the Steel Corset was one of my favorite books of the year. Old follower just stopping by to see what is on people's WL this Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThe covers for these are just so beautiful! I hadn't heard of Everneath but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI'm so dying to read The Girl in the Steel Corset. I'm a sucker for historical fiction.
ReplyDeletePretty covers. My featured wish is Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine. Come see why.
ReplyDeleteOo great picks! I'd heard about the other two books already, but Everneath looks fantastic.
