On my Wishlist (7)



On My Wishlist is a fun weekly event hosted by Book Chick City and runs every Saturday. It's where I list all the books I desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. It's also an event that you can join in with too - Mr Linky is always at the ready for you to link your own 'On My Wishlist' post. If you want to know more click here.



Today I'm going to feature an author for no other reason that I honestly want, so so so much to read her books. And to buy them all is... well, a little bit expensive right now with my wedding so soon (how come weddings are so expensive?! sigh...). Nevermind that, here you have the first book of each series I'm dying to read:


Stray
by Rachel Vincent
Official Blurb:

There are only eight breeding female werecats left... And I'm one of them. I look like an all-American grad student. But I am a werecat, a shape-shifter, and I live in two worlds.

Despite reservations from my family and my Pride, I escaped the pressure to continue my species and carved out a normal life for myself. Until the night a Stray attacked.

I'd been warned about Strays -- werecats without a Pride, constantly on the lookout for someone like me: attractive, female, and fertile. I fought him off, but then learned two of my fellow tabbies had disappeared.

This brush with danger was all my Pride needed to summon me back... for my own protection. Yeah, right. But I'm no meek kitty. I'll take on whatever -- and whoever -- I have to in order to find my friends. Watch out, Strays -- 'cause I got claws, and I'm not afraid to use them...

And I was thinking (dreaming is free, right?) to buy this whole series this week but sadly for me (and happily for my fiancé) The Book Depository doesn't have the first and third book with the old covers which are the ones I like:


My Soul to Take
by Rachel Vincent
Official Blurb:

She doesn't see dead people, but…
She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest guy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about her need to scream than she does. And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason, only Kaylee knows who'll be next...

So, there you go, wouldn't it be nice if someone gives me all the books as a wedding gift? *looking at my fiancé who is completely ignoring me...* Oh well, I tried.

What about you? Something to share with me?^^
