Cover Reveal: Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi (Warner Will Dominate)

Service Announcement: Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask you to lock away your prized book editions, hold on to your fangirl seats, and get ready to be blown away because the cover for Ignite Me is out, and boy is it a LOOKER! 


Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
Release Date: February 4, 2014

Goodreads Summary

The heart-stopping conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, called "a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and forbidden love"

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

My Initial Reaction: Pretty much that Warner is going to kick Adam's hiney come this book's release, because let's face it, my boy is MUCH stronger than that wuss, Adam. I will settle for no less than Warner ending up with Juliette, and them being happy as they settle down, (with possible kids), together. You here that, Mafi? No sacrifices, no sudden deaths, nothing short of him being happy. Capiche? Adam can go find a hole :P 

So you've heard my thoughts on this cover. What do you make of this upcoming release? Do you agree or disagree with me in regards to the outcome of this tormenting love triangle? Either way I'm psyched to read anything by Mafi, love you girl! What about you?

Thanks for reading. Take care!

Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Addicted To You by Krista & Becca Ritchie

**Sharing some stunning covers, one fabulous book at a time!**

Addicted to You by Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie

Release Date: June 1st, 2013

Goodreads Summary

Two addictions. One lie.

No one would suspect shy, Lily Calloway’s biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.

Loren Hale’s best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they’ve pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They’ve mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.

But when they go on a family boat trip, surrounded by open seas and limited male bodies in sight, Lily’s confronted with a big fear. Only one guy onboard can fill her addiction, and she’s sworn off going there with Loren Hale ever again.

Now the only person who can truly help her, can barely help himself.

**This is a New Adult book recommended for readers 18 and up**

How AWESOME is that cover?! Seriously, I am so excited for this book to release come June 1st, that blurb has me wanting Addicted to You NOW.

Cover Reveal: Across a Star-Swept Sea

**Bringing you the best cover reveals, one post at the time!**

Some killer covers this week...

Across a Star-Swept Sea by Diana Peterfreund
Expected Release: October 15th 2013

Series: For Darkness Shows the Stars #2

Publisher: Blazer + Bray

Goodreads Summary
Centuries after wars nearly destroyed civilization, the two islands of New Pacifica stand alone, a terraformed paradise where even the Reduction—the devastating brain disorder that sparked the wars—is a distant memory. Yet on the isle of Galatea, an uprising against the ruling aristocrats has turned deadly. The revolutionaries’ weapon is a drug that damages their enemies’ brains, and the only hope is rescue by a mysterious spy known as the Wild Poppy.
On the neighboring island of Albion, no one suspects that the Wild Poppy is actually famously frivolous aristocrat Persis Blake. The teenager uses her shallow, socialite trappings to hide her true purpose: her gossipy flutternotes are encrypted plans, her pampered sea mink is genetically engineered for spying, and her well-publicized new romance with handsome Galatean medic Justen Helo… is her most dangerous mission ever.
Though Persis is falling for Justen, she can’t risk showing him her true self, especially once she learns he’s hiding far more than simply his disenchantment with his country’s revolution and his undeniable attraction to the silly socialite he’s pretending to love. His darkest secret could plunge both islands into a new dark age, and Persis realizes that when it comes to Justen Helo, she’s not only risking her heart, she’s risking the world she’s sworn to protect.
In this thrilling adventure inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel, Diana Peterfreund creates an exquisitely rendered world where nothing is as it seems and two teens with very different pasts fight for a future only they dare to imagine.

My Thoughts: How sad is it that I have a beautiful copy of For Darkness Shows the Stars just sitting on my shelf, and I have yet to read it?? Seriously, this is very lame of me, I need to remedy this ASAP. Until then, however, I am just going to stare at the cover of Across A Star-Swept Sea just a mite longer, because this little darling is Amazeballs. I WANT IT. Also, that girl kind of reminds me of Christina Aguilera in her early days, like she's singing to the ocean or whatever. I'm loving it, you go girl!

What do you guys think??

Cover Reveal: March 2, 2013

**A post in which I reveal some of the prettiest new/up and coming books, the covers buzzing through the blogosphere.**

Best Covers of the Week...

The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead 
Releasing: November 19th, 2013
My First Impression: I am thinking that this cover is gorgeous because it manages to make Sydney and Adrian look good for once! Usually Adrian ends up resembling an old Vicar or Count, and Sydney just isn't pretty. I like the cover and title because the characters seem to finally be coming to life!

The Unbound by Victoria Schwab
Releasing: January 28th, 2014
My First Impression: The Unbound looks a little grey, but it does manage to keep in theme with The Archived's cover. Not one to judge a book COMPLETELY by its cover, I'm hoping the story shines more than the book's outward appearance.   

Escapement by Ciara Knight
Releasing: February 25th, 2013
My First Impression:  How perfect is this cover?! I'm loving the gloomy atmosphere, a girl chained to the ground amidst a seemingly desolate city and a clock shining down on her, as if foreboding a secret gift or heritage! Something tells me that I will love Escapement, and I plan on reading it, if only to discover how she looses those chains!

Imitation by Heather Hildenbrand
Releasing: March 12, 2013
My First Impression: Can you say creepy much? Those eyes are startling and they jump out against the almost all-white backdrop of the girl's face and hair. Although the eyes are a tad disconcerting, the book looks like a great dystopian YA novel and I am looking forward to its release.

Tumble & Fall by Alexandra Coutts
Releasing: September 17th, 2013
My First Impression: This cover is so cute!! I am in love with the couple on the cover, with the asteroid supposedly on its way to hit earth in the book, you would think that they'd have more positive things to do than sit back on the grass and watch it hit them. The guy looks like he doesn't really mind, though, so win-win amiright?














Wait For You by Jennifer Armentrout (writing as J. Lynn)
Released: February 26th, 2013
My First Impression: J.A. has a new contemporary book out?! Well call me Santa Clause's elf, I need to get my hands on this! But preferably before Christmas. This cover is an interesting one. It looks like the guy is all for the kiss 100%, but the girl is considering something, maybe if the garlic she's been sniffing comes from his mouth? We may never know.

All in all, there were some kicking covers this week, I loved all of them and had to share :) Which ones have you most excited? Share your thoughts with me and be sure to take care!

Cover Reveal: Rebel Spring

Hey Loves,

So I know for the past few months I haven't exactly been the best blogger in terms of memes, but I am trying to ease myself back into doing them, focussing mostly on the ones which interest me. I love beautiful covers and stumbled upon this one this week...

Rebel Spring (Falling Kingdoms #2) by Morgan Rhodes
Expected Release: December 3, 2013

Pages (estimated): 432

Goodreads Summary

Auranos has been conquered and the three kingdoms — Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia — are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But alluring, dangerous magic still beckons, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the world...

CLEO is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica as the evil King Gaius lies to her people

MAGNUS stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister Lucia

LUCIA is haunted by the outcome of the breathtaking display of magic that allowed her father to capture the kingdoms

JONAS watches at the palace gates, a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius

When Gaius announces that a road is to be built into the Forbidden Mountains, formally linking all of Mytica together, he sets off a chain of events that will forever change the face of this land. Because Gaius is not just burrowing into a pile of rock. He’s tunneling directly into the Watchers’ Sanctuary. And his actions will have cosmic consequences.

Praise for Falling Kingdoms

"[It] will gut you emotionally...make you ache, cry, and beg for the sequel as you turn the last page. I absolutely loved it.” —Julie Kagawa, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Queen

"This triple-layered tale of bloodshed, heartbreak, and tangled court intrigue kept me turning pages very late into the night.”—Lesley Livingston, author of Wondrous Strange and Starling

"From an opening dripping with blood, magic, and betrayal through complex interweaving plots detailing treachery, deceit, and forbidden love, this novel...will immediately engage readers and keep them intrigued.” —Booklist

It sounds good, right? I haven't read Falling Kingdoms yet, but the consensus among most of my blogging friends seems to be that it is a book well worth reading! I have my fingers crossed for this series, it has loads of potential, and I see it doing well for itself. Have you read Falling Kingdoms, excited for Rebel Spring?

MY KISS CAN KILL.

I used to be ordinary Samantha Day, but that's changed. Now, after one dark kiss from a dangerous boy, I can steal someone's soul...or their life. If I give in to the constant hunger inside me, I hurt anyone I kiss. If I don't...I hurt myself.

Bishop is the one whose kiss I crave most, but if I kiss him, I'll kill him. Then there's another boy, one I can't hurt. One whose kiss seems to miraculously quell my hunger. They're both part of a team of angels and demons that's joined forces in my city to fight a mysterious rising darkness, an evil that threatens everyone I know and love.

Genre: YA, Fantasy, Mythology, Romance

Goodreads Summary

After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

In Josephine Angelini’s compelling conclusion to the masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all to change a destiny that’s been written in the stars. With worlds built just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched.

So...Both of these covers are very girly and pretty, and although I disliked it at first, Goddess is really growing on me. This is a quick update of covers mainly because life is a crazy noodle bowl right now and nothing ever sits still; I have to get ready for school in 5 minutes O.O

Pages (est.): 464
Publisher: HarperTeen
Genre: YA, Paranormal, Angels and Demons, Romance

Goodreads Summary

Anna Whitt, daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a claim. She’d been naive about a lot of things.

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

How can you not sigh after reading all that?!? I cannot wait for April of next year to come! The Author is a total sweetheart, you should check her out in the links above and comment with me on your thoughts on this awesome series, YES IT'S A SERIES, and I'll chat right back!

Love you lots!

Cover Reveal: Ink Enchantments

**A post in which I reveal...new/up and coming, covers of the moment, the ones you should keep an eye out for.**

This week in Cover Reveal we have...

Ink by Amanda Sun
Release Date: June 25th 2013
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Genre: YA, Fantasy, Mythology

Goodreads Summary

I looked down at the paper, still touching the tip of my shoe. I reached for it, flipping the page over to look.

Scrawls of ink outlined a drawing of a girl lying on a bench.

A sick feeling started to twist in my stomach, like motion sickness.

And then the girl in the drawing turned her head, and her inky eyes glared straight into mine.

On the heels of a family tragedy, the last thing Katie Greene wants to do is move halfway across the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels lost. Alone. She doesn’t know the language, she can barely hold a pair of chopsticks, and she can’t seem to get the hang of taking her shoes off whenever she enters a building.

Then there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school’s kendo team. How did he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn’t prepared for the answer. But when she sees the things he draws start moving, there’s no denying the truth: Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice, they'll both be targets.

Katie never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.

My Thoughts: Ever since I chanced upon the summary of Ink on Goodreads, I knew that this book HAD to be mine! The cover is a little underwhelming when compared to the stunning summary, however, I still have high hopes for this début. This is totes on my Wishlist!

Share with me, what do you make of it, and what fabulous covers have you found this week?

Cover Reveal: Infatuate by Aimee Agresti

**A post in which I reveal...new/up and coming, covers of the moment, the ones you should keep an eye out for.**

Infatuate (Gilded Wings #2) by Aimee Agresti
Release Date: March 5th 2013
Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books
Genre: YA, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance

Goodreads Summary

Haven Terra is still recovering from an internship that brought her literally to the brink of hell when a trip to New Orleans leads to more trouble. Graduating early from high school leaves the spring semester free, so Haven and her friends Dante and Lance head to the Big Easy to volunteer with community service projects. But their true mission becomes clear when they run across an enclave of devils known as the Krewe. New Orleans is a free-for-all for these shape-shifting devils, who are more reckless and vicious than any Haven, Lance, and Dante have encountered. And they soon discover their French Quarter housemates are also angels-in-training, and together they must face off with the Krewe in their quest for wings. But Haven’s resolve is tested when Lucian, the repentant devil with whom she was infatuated, resurfaces and asks her for help escaping the underworld. Can he be trusted? Or will aiding him cost Haven her angel wings—and her life? Thrilling, romantic, and full of surprises, this gripping sequel to Illuminate takes the battle of good and evil to the next level.

I haven't gotten to reading Illuminate yet, the first book in the series, but I'll hurry up on my task to get it read because I really do want to get my hands on this next instalment. What do you make of Infatuate and have you read Illuminate, if so, how did you like it? I'd love to know, feel free to respond in the comments below!
