Cover Reveal: Ignite Me - Tahereh Mafi!


I am super excited to share with you guys the cover reveal for Tahereh Mafi's highly anticipated, Shatter Me series, book 3! It's going to be called Ignite Me and here is this killer cover! This one is definitely one of my favorites!

Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)
Juliette now knows she may be the only one who can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she’ll need the help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought she knew—about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam—was wrong.

In Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that combined the best of dystopian and paranormal and was praised by Publishers Weekly as “a gripping read from an author who’s not afraid to take risks." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia said it was “dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense.” Now this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end.

Praise for the Shatter Me series:

“Dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense. I dare you to stop reading.”—Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures series

“Tahereh Mafi’s bold, inventive prose crackles with raw emotion. A thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love, the Shatter Me series is a must-read for fans of dystopian young adult literature—or any literature!”—Ransom Riggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

“Addictive, intense, and oozing with romance. I’m envious. I couldn’t put it down.”—Lauren Kate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Fallen series

I am so excited for this and I already know this will be one of my favorite reads next year!

My Predictions:

1.) Kenji could possibly die? (Let's hope not)
2.) Adam will push away Juliette since she now has to ask for his help, but then there's going to be a scene where they get all close and he forgives her.
3.) Warner is going to have some steamy scenes with Juliette
4.) A Big Finale fight scene (please Tahereh!)
5.) Someone is going to pay for Juliette choices
6.) Lots of hot, steamy scenes
7.) Kenji finally gets a girl?
8.) Juliette's parent make an appearance? (Possibly??)

So far, those are my prediction and I already know Ignite Me will definitely be the perfect Shatter Me book! 

Also, Ignite Me? 
a.k.a many hot and steamy scenes with either Juliette or Adam? Yes please!

Juliette is such a kick butt character, I love her. :)

What Are You Predictions? :)

Waiting on Wednesday (#41) - Fiery Heart by Melissa De La Cruz



Waiting on Wednesday is Hosted by Jill @ Breaking The Spine

The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4)

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .

But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.

Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

Why I'm Waiting For It: *Dies* There is just no words to say how excited I am for this! Seriously, Richelle Mead is wickedly brilliant for creating Bloodlines and VA, she needs to get loads of book rewards for them! The Bloodlines is such an riveting and amazing series, it's one you can't miss or won't remember! I'm really excited for Fiery Heart since it's going to be from Sydney and Adrien's POV! Like, hell yes, we need both to make this the best Bloodlines book ever!

ERMAGERD

And, the idea it's going to be out October 2013, makes me even mad! (But seriously, she writes wicked fast!)



Honestly, if  you haven't heard of any of the Bloodlines books, VA books, or Richelle Mead you're living under a rock I'm about to hit you with! Pick this series up now!

Raw & Intense: Anna Dressed In Blood - Kendare Blake

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna, #1)Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake
Date Released: September 2011
Publisher: Tor Teen 

Pages: 316 Pages
Format: Paperback
Source: LA Festival of Books (Bought)
Rating: Loved
Series: (Anna #1)

Goodreads Synopsis: Cas Lowood, armed with his late father's athame knife, kills ghosts. In Thunder Bay, Anna, forever 16, drips blood on her white dress from throat slit in 1958, and rips apart anyone who enters her house - except Cas. He makes new friends - high school queen Carmel, jock Will, admiring nerd Thomas and Tom's voodoo grandpa Morfran - to fight this demon. 

From Goodreads



Anna Dressed In Blood was totally engrossing, vividly graphic, and it gave paranormal romance in YA something fresh it desperately needed. It gave me chills and I'm definitely glad I picked up this summer! But even with all those creepy scenes in the book, I loved it and I can't wait for book 2.

What I instantly noticed about Anna Dressed In Blood was that it was written in the POV of Cas Loswood, a guy rather than a girl, even though the author was a girl. What else could I say? Kendare Blake really captured Anna's story perfectly and I liked it even more since it was through a guy POV, which we barely see in YA. Cas had his dad's athame, a knife he uses to kill ghosts. When his mom and Cas arrive in Thunder Bay, he meets Anna, a ghost the whole town is afraid off, Cas knows that there's more to her story. Anna's story was rich and sad. It was brutal and it's puts you at the edge of your seat. The characters in the book were really unique and I really liked each on like Carmel and Tom gave the book more of a light feel contrasted with the graphic scenes throughout. Anna Dressed In Blood gets it's characters right and it's plot line is killer.

Anna Dressed In Blood also had some surprises which were something I did not see coming and I liked that a lot. It had some romance sparking with Cas and Anna and I thought that it was done well! Ghost girl falls in love with ghost hunter? I liked that concept and what makes it even better it how it wasn't fully focused on that, but more of Anna's story of opening up to this world around her. Plus, there was great action and suspense perfect for shaking up your summer pile.

Anna Dressed In Blood was tantalizing, filled chills and a concept that will intrigue every reader. It was so happy to picked up this book and it definitely was a memorable read! I'm honestly excited for book 2 and Kendare's new book Antigoddess!
