Review : Hush Hush, Becca Fitzpatrick

Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush Hush #1)

Description

For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She’s never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch came along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Nora is drawn to him against her better judgment.

But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora’s not sure who to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is, and to know more about her than her closest friends. She can’t decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.

For Nora is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those that have fallen – and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost her life.

What I’m waiting for : Stolen Nights by Rebecca Maizel

Stolen Nights by Rebecca Maizel (Vampire Queen #2)

June, 22nd 2011 (US)
St Martin’s Griffin

There is no description yet for this book, but the prologue and the first chapter are available at the end of Infinite Days.

Rebecca Maizel has publishet one little snippet on her blog :

“Lenah! Go inside!” Rhode yelled. His jaw was tight and his eyes pierced me.

Yet, I was frozen where I stood. Rhode closed his eyes in defeat and turned from me to face the vampire in sumptuous red.

“Kill me…” the woman pleaded. “Please, Rhode. No one else will do it.”

“Lady, I cannot take your life,” he said.

“Please….” Her eyes bore into Rhode’s. “No more sunsets.”

I love Infinite Days and I’m in love with Rhode, more than Justin, and I hope he will be more present in the sequel!

It’s been a year since Ivy’s boyfriend, Tristan, died. They’ve both moved on—Tristan to the other side of the afterlife, and Ivy to sweet, dependable Will. Now Ivy’s heading to Cape Cod, hoping to leave the horror of last summer behind. She wants nothing more than to lie on the beach, sip lemonade, and hang out with her friends.

But then a car crash ends Ivy’s life.

As she floats to the beyond, looking down on the life she’s left behind, Tristan breathes life back into her with a passionate kiss. She wakes up in the hospital, surrounded by Will and her family, but all she can think about is the love that she lost.

But memories aren’t all that’s come back from the past. And this time, Ivy’s not sure love will be enough to save her.

Review : Unearthly, Cynthia Hand

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand (Unearthly #1)

Harper Teen

Description

 

Clara Gardner has recently learned that she’s part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn’t easy.

 

Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of place at the same time. Because there’s another guy, Tucker, who appeals to Clara’s less angelic side.

As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she’d have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her destiny?

What I’m waiting for : Half Blood by Jennifer L Armentrout

Hafl Blood by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Covenant #1)

September, 15th 2011 (US)
Spencer Hill Press

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi—pure-bloods—have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals—well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:

Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the pure-blooded Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck.

When I read the description, I immediately thought of Vampire Academy. I hope it will be as good as this series!  Even if it is a debut novel, the plot is interesting. Furthermore, the name of the author is very similar to Jenifer Armintrout, an urban fantasy author I really like. And the purple cover is gorgeous.

Review : Wither, Lauren DeStefano

Wither by Lauren DeStefano (The Chemical Garden Trilogy #1)

March, 22nd 2011 (US)
Simon & Schuster

Description

What if you knew exactly when you would die?

Thanks to modern science, every human being has become a ticking genetic time bomb—males only live to age twenty-five, and females only live to age twenty. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out.

When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden’s genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and go home.

But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden’s eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant Rhine is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limited time she has left.

What I’m waiting for : Forever by Maggie Stiefvater

Forever by Maggie Stiefvater (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #3)

In Maggie Stiefvater’s Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. In Linger, they fought to be together. Now, in Forever, the stakes are even higher than before. Wolves are being hunted. Lives are being threatened. And love is harder and harder to hold on to as death comes closing in.

I love Maggie’s writing. I prefer Linger than Shiver and I hope thet Forever will be a beautiful conclusion to the story of Grace and Sam. And don’t forget the sexy Cole! 😉
