Waiting on Wednesday (20)

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to highlight upcoming releases we're anxiously awaiting! This week I am waiting on...

Halflings (Halflings #1)

by Heather Burch 

After being inexplicably targeted by an evil intent on harming her at any cost, seventeen-year-old Nikki finds herself under the watchful guardianship of three mysterious young men who call themselves halflings. Sworn to defend her, misfits Mace, Raven, and Vine battle to keep Nikki safe while hiding their deepest secret—and the wings that come with.

A growing attraction between Nikki and two of her protectors presents a whole other danger. While she risks a broken heart, Mace and Raven could lose everything, including their souls. As the mysteries behind the boys’ powers, as well as her role in a scientist’s dark plan, unfold, Nikki is faced with choices that will affect the future of an entire race of heavenly beings, as well as the precarious equilibrium of the earthly world.

Expected Publication:January 2012

The covers a little creepy but the blurb is really good! I would love to read a good angel book.(I havn't read one in a LONG time!)

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON THIS WEDNESDAY?

Cover Alert! OBSIDIAN by Jennifer Armentrout

If you guys don't know already I am a HUGE FAN of Jennifer's book Half Blood(I will write a review soon I promise!).She's turned into some kind of writing machine as she has approx. 5 YA books which are to be released soon...and the newest addition is

OBSIDIAN

Blurb:

Starting over sucks. 

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, outhouses, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring. Until I spotted my hot neighbor with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth. 

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marked me. 

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and the mark he left on me has me lit up like Las Vegas strip to the bad guys. The only way I'm getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades. If I don't kill him first, that is. 

And then things got really bad…

Release Date: 12/06/2011

I think it sounds very Interesting! According to Jennifer this book will be available on Netgalley! YAY!

Exciting Book News! (Kiersten White Edition)

Fans of Paranormalcy should rejoice as  Kiersten White has signed a 4 book deal with HarperTeen,so get ready for some  Kiersten White madness.

According To Publishers Weekly

" the first book in the deal, Mind Games, a “dark thriller”; it follows two teenagers, with special powers, operating in a world where corporations rely on psychics and mind-readers."


Doesn't that sound AWESOME! 


There's also going to be a sequel to Mind Games .Plus, Kiersten White is signed a deal to write two standalone books.

"One of the standalones, Flood and Stone, is about the progeny of an Egyptian god who’s trying to escape the drama within her family."


This book had me at Egyptian God and family drama.

I ,for one think that this is very good news! The only thing I do not like about this news is.....


"  HarperTeen plans to publish two books per year starting in winter 2013."

Now how on Earth am I going to be able to wait till 2013 ???

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS ?

Drink, Slay, Love

by Sarah Beth Durst

Pearl is a sixteen-year-old vampire... fond of blood, allergic to sunlight, and mostly evil... until the night a sparkly unicorn stabs her through the heart with his horn. Oops.

Her family thinks she was attacked by a vampire hunter (because, obviously, unicorns don't exist), and they're shocked she survived. They're even more shocked when Pearl discovers she can now withstand the sun. But they quickly find a way to make use of her new talent. The Vampire King of New England has chosen Pearl's family to host his feast. If Pearl enrolls in high school, she can make lots of human friends and lure them to the King's feast -- as the entrees.

The only problem? Pearl's starting to feel the twinges of a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends—especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache—to be slaughtered? Then again, she's definitely dead if she lets down her family. What's a sunlight-loving vamp to do?

Expected Publication:13 September 2011

The title reminds me of "Eat Pray Love".Plus,I love the idea of a vampire developing a conscience.

This title first came to my attention on SS galley grab.I would have loved to read it but my finals are going on (*cries*)
