Upcoming Books That Don't Yet Have A Cover.

The Holders (Holders #1)
17-year-old Becca spent her whole life protecting her brother from, well, everything. The abandonment of their father, the so called 'experts' who insist that voices in his head are unnatural and must be dealt with, and the constant threat of being taken away to some hospital and studied like an animal. When two representatives appear claiming to have the answers to Ryland's perceived problem, Becca doesn't buy it for one second. That is until they seem to know things about Ryland and about Becca and Ryland's family, that forces Becca to concede that there may be more to these people than meets the eye. Though still highly skeptical, Becca agrees to do what's best for Ryland.
What they find at St. Brigid's is a world beyond their imagination. Little by little they piece together the information of their family's heritage, their estranged Father, and the legend of the Holder race that decrees Ryland is the one they've been waiting for. However, they are all--especially Becca--in for a surprise that will change what they thought they knew about themselves and their kind.
She meets Alex, a Holder who is fiercely loyal to their race, and for some reason, Becca and Ryland. There's an attraction between Becca and Alex that can't be denied, but her true nature seems destined to keep them apart. However, certain destinies may not be as clear cut as everyone has always believed them to be.
Becca is lost, but found at the same time. Can she bring herself to leave Ryland now that he's settled and can clearly see his future? Will she be able to put the the feelings she has for Alex aside and head back to the US? And can Becca and Ryland ever forgive their father for what he's done?

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Violet's grandmother had warned her about the Devil, had talked about him often, as though he were a best friend, or an old lover. But she never told Violet that the Devil could be real. She never told Violet that the Devil could be a dark-haired boy in vintage clothes who takes naps in the sun and likes old movies and vigilante justice.
River West is the seventeen-year old stranger renting the guesthouse behind the rotting mansion on the sea, where Violet lives. And as eerie, grim things start happening in Violet's town, she begins to wonder about the boy living in her backyard. Is River just a crooked-smiling, coffee-loving liar with rascally eyes and a mysterious past? Or could he be something else? Something...evil?
Violet's already so knee-deep in love she can't see straight.
And that's just how River likes it.

Ink (The Paper Gods #1)
by Amanda Sun
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 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

Worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island’s inhabitants. Juliet knows she must end her father’s dangerous experiments and escape the island, even though her horror is mixed with her own scientific curiosity. As the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father’s genius—and madness—in her own blood.

Kill Me Softly
by Sarah Cross
Publication: 20th April 2012
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Pages: 336
Genre: Fantasy
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
Mirabelle's past is shrouded in secrecy, from her parents' tragic deaths to her guardians' half-truths about why she can't return to her birthplace, Beau Rivage. Desperate to see the town, Mira runs away a week before her sixteenth birthday—and discovers a world she never could have imagined.In Beau Rivage, nothing is what it seems—the strangely pale girl with a morbid interest in apples, the obnoxious playboy who's a beast to everyone he meets, and the chivalrous guy who has a thing for damsels in distress. Here, fairy tales come to life, curses are awakened, and ancient stories are played out again and again.
But fairy tales aren't pretty things, and they don't always end in happily ever after. Mira has a role to play, a fairy tale destiny to embrace or resist. As she struggles to take control of her fate, Mira is drawn into the lives of two brothers with fairy tale curses of their own . . . brothers who share a dark secret. And she'll find that love, just like fairy tales, can have sharp edges and hidden thorns.
My Thoughts.
To say that I loved this book is an understatement, I was entranced from the very first page, I loved the concept of this world and the fairy tale elements made this a magical and wondrous read.
I loved how it had a similar theme to the tv show Once Upon A Time which I also love, the idea that fairy tale characters are real and all living in a town called Beau Rivage is a fantastic idea.
Mirabelle 'Mira' is about to turn sixteen in a week's time, at her christening when she was three months her parents were killed when the building they were in caught fire, so ever since then she's raised by her tw0 godmothers far away from her birthplace.
Mira has been restricted from being allowed to do a lot of things among them touching anything sharp, she has also been told that she's not allowed back to her birthplace, intrigued and wanting to visit her parents graves she runs away one night eager to see the place she was born.
Once there she takes shelter in a casino and it's there while trying to stay inconspicious that she is accosted by a boy around her age Blue who tells her to get out of his hotel after running away and hiding she is found by Blue's older brother Felix who is a whole lot nicer than Blue and offers her a room for free to stay in and after listening to her story agrees to healing her find her parent's graves since she's had no luck of her own.
But Mira comes to find that not everybody is who they appear to be and that she's in the middle of a town full of fairy tale characters and that also includes Blue and Felix.
She becomes friends with: Viv (Snow White), Henley (The Huntsman), Felix (Prince Charming), Layla (Beauty) and Rafe (Beast) among others and discovers that she is Sleeping Beauty and that all those years of her godmothers not allowing her to touch sharp things had a purpose.
But not everybody is happy with their 'curse' as they call it, and happily ever afters aren't all they're cracked up to be, you see there is not just one Sleeping Beauty or Snow White but a whole lot of the same fairy tale characters who all have the same fate and some aren't happy with their happy ever afters.
So while Mira continues her relationship with Felix all the while Blue is trying to warn her off she discovers that the two brothers share the same curse and neither will tell her what that is but for them with their curse's they don't get a happily ever after.
I loved Mira and Blue's scenes together they had me laughing and you were just hoping that they'd end up together.
All the characters in this story were interesting to read about and there was never a dull minute, my only wish is that somehow this could be made into a series perhaps with some of the different characters that are still awaiting their stories to carry out.
This is definitely going on the re-read pile.
I give this 5/5.

The Archived (The Archived #1)
January 2013 By Hyperion
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books. Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead, and Mac has grown into what he once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with stopping often-violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn't just dangerous—it's a constant reminder of those Mac has lost. Da's death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit, unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.

A Beautiful Dark (A Beautiful Dark #1)
Publication: 1st October 2011
Publisher: Harper Collins Australia
Pages: 390
Genre: Paranormal
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
On the night of Skye's seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites—like fire and ice—Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye's life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move—only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two boys, but also the truth about her own past.In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threatens to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can’t help falling for, and Devin, who she can’t stay away from, the consequences of Skye’s choice will reach further than the three of them could ever imagine.
A Beautiful Dark is the first book in a captivating trilogy by debut author Jocelyn Davies.
My Thoughts.
I absolutely adored this book, it kept me on the edge of my seat especially towards the end and that cliffhanger, of course now I have to wait till September for the next book and the aftermath of the previous one.
Skye's friends have thrown her a surprise party for her seventeenth birthday, where she meets a boy Asher whom she is attracted to, and after a brief conversation thinks nothing more of it until he gets into a fight at her party with a boy he arrived with, and in the middle of it the boiler beneath the cafe explodes ending the party.
School starts and she runs into Asher and the boy he was fighting with his cousin Devin, as well as being in a lot of her classes they also appear to be everywhere Skye is and she starts to think that they are following her, not only that but out of school she has the feeling that someone is watching her and every morning she wakes to find her bedroom window open after closing and locking it before bed.
All the while that she's developing feelings towards them, especially Asher what she doesn't know is that they have been sent to watch her, because of the actions of her deceased parents who died on her sixth birthday she's been closely watched unbeknown to her all her life.
While it did take a while to find out just who and what Asher and Devin are, the book was that interesting and exciting that it didn't matter, the storyline was intriguing enough to keep my mind away from wondering what they were.
I found the history of her parents really interesting and I would have loved a bit more of their back story.
I loved the interaction between Skye and Asher I liked them as a couple and they were both hilarious together.
Skye's friends Cassie, Dan and Ian made a great group and made for interesting friends and a nice diversion throughout the book.
This has been one of my favourite books that I've read this year and if I had of known how good it was going to be I would have tried to get to it a bit sooner.
Highly reccommended.
I give this 5/5.

Night Star (The Immortals #5)
by Alyson Noel
Publication: 16th November 2010
Publisher: St Martin's Griffin
Pages: 302
Genre: Fantasy
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
**Warning contains spoilers from previous books in the series**
After fighting for centuries to be together, Ever and Damen’s future hinges on one final showdown that will leave readers gasping for breath. Don’t miss this explosive new installment of the #1 bestselling series that’s enchanted millions across the world!Haven still blames Ever for the death of her boyfriend Roman, no matter how hard Ever’s tried to convince her it was an accident. Now she’s determined to take Ever down…and destroy Damen and Jude along the way. Her first step is to tear Ever and Damen apart—and she has just the ammunition to do it.
Hidden in one of Ever’s past lives is a terrible secret about Damen—a secret that illuminates new facts about her relationship with Jude, but that’s so dark and brutal it might be enough to drive her and Damen apart once and for all. As Ever faces her greatest fears about the guy she wants to spend eternity with, she’s thrust into a deadly clash with Haven that could destroy them all.
Now it’ll take everything she’s got—and bring out powers she never knew she had—to face down her most formidable enemy. But in order to win, she must first ask herself: is her own survival worth dooming Haven to an eternity of darkness in the Shadowland? And will learning the truth about Damen’s past hold the key to their future?
My Thoughts.
I was apprehensive about starting this book, after a promising start the books seemed to go downhill as they went along, but I'm happy to say that this one wasn't really bad at all.
In the last book Jude killed Roman because he thought that he was attacking Ever and because of that Haven vowed to kill both Jude and Ever.
So while awaiting for the time when Haven's threat becomes a reality Ever discovers that the videos that she and Damen view in their Pavilion house in Summerland have been heavily edited, and that Damen seems to take her away from Jude in each of their past lives, none so tragic then when she and Jude were slaves, Ever was beaten quite often by her owner and after having been brought by Damen and taken away from her family she finds that Jude and her family are killed in a house fire, and Ever gets upset and breaks up with Damen not sure what else he has removed from the videos of her past lives, it leaves her wondering whether she really was meant to be with Damen or whether Jude is her true soul mate.
Haven who is slowly losing her grip on reality has taken over as queen bee at school and Stacia as been knocked down a notch and finds herself the victim of ridicule and torment that she used to dish out to everybody else.
Honor who used to be Stacia's best friend has now taken up with Haven and has gotten rid of all her old group of friends not without some warning though from Ever.
Back to Haven who has become addicted to the elixir she needs to keep her alive and young through her immortality has gone through the year's worth that Roman had left after his death, and is suffering from withdrawal if that's not enough she continuously attacks Ever and on some occasions Jude.
Ever tries desperately to find the t-shirt that Roman was wearing the night he died, the t-shirt that has the spilt elixir on it in hopes that Damen might be able to figure out what it was made of but finding it is not going to be easy especially when Haven realises the significance of why Ever wants it so much.
There is finally a resolution to one of the problems in this book which is desperately needed to keep this series interesting.
With only the last book in this series to read I'm hoping that it turns out to be a really great read with everything resolved.
I give this 3.5/5.
