{Waiting on Wednesday} #41 The Brokenhearted by Amelia Kahaney

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

The Brokenhearted
Author: Amelia Kahaney
Release Date: October 8, 2013
by, Harper Teen
A teenage girl is transformed into a reluctant superhero and must balance her old life with the dark secret of who she has become. 

Prima ballerina Anthem Fleet is closely guarded by her parents in their penthouse apartment. But when she meets the handsome Gavin at a party on the wrong side of town, she is immediately drawn into his dangerous world. Then, in a tragic accident, Anthem falls to her death. She awakes in an underground lab, with a bionic heart ticking in her chest. As she navigates her new life, she uncovers the sinister truth behind those she trusted the most, and the chilling secret of her family lineage…and her duty to uphold it. 

The Dark Knight meets Cinder in this gripping and cinematic story of heartbreak and revenge. From Alloy Entertainment, this inventive new superhero story is sure to captivate any reader.{Goodreads}
One...look at that cover! I LOVE it! Second...ok so the bold head line is a bit cheesy and if I'm being honest, if it was just that, that I heard about the book I would turn it down. But the synopsis, oh my, the synopsis intrigues me. It kind of gives me a Frankenstein cyborg kind of feel. I like the The Dark Knight and Cinder comparison. Two things I love: Cinder (Quick shout out: Thank you Marissa Meyer for this amazing series!) and batman! Ok, so I am more of a Captain America, Spiderman kind-of chick but hey...got a love a man in black right? ;) Anywho! I am super excited for this book because I have a feeling its going to bring some new playing cards to the YA table. I feel its gonna bring something fresh and I am going to love it! Just a hunch but ya.!

What about you?

{Waiting on Wednesday} #40 Infinityglass by Myra McEntire

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

Infinityglass
Series: Hourglass #3
Author: Myra McEntire
Release Date: August 6, 2013
by, EgmontUSA
The stakes have risen even higher in this third book in the Hourglass series. 

The Hourglass is a secret organization focused on the study of manipulating time, and its members — many of them teenagers -­have uncanny abilities to make time work for them in mysterious ways. Inherent in these powers is a responsibility to take great care, because altering one small moment can have devastating consequences for the past, present, and future. But some time trav­elers are not exactly honorable, and sometimes unsavory deals must be struck to maintain order. 

With the Infinityglass (central to understanding and harnessing the time gene) at large, the hunt is on to find it before someone else does. 

But the Hourglass has an advantage. Lily, who has the ability to locate anything lost, has determined that the Infinityglass isn't an object. It's a person. And the Hourglass must find him or her first. But where do you start searching for the very key to time when every second could be the last?{Goodreads}

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! It's only like a month away you guys! The amount of love I have for this series is not understandable! I really hope this finale pulls through. I found myself disapointed with the 2013 series finales. Boundless and Requiem to be direct. Boundless more than the latter.  Sad but true. I have high hopes though! And the cover? GORG!! ;D *fingers crossed*

{Waiting on Wednesday} #39 Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

Cruel Beauty
Author: Rosamund Hodge
Release Date: January 28, 2014
by, Balzer & Bray
Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom—all because of a reckless bargain her father struck. And since birth, she has been training to kill him. 

Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, she abandons everything she’s ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, disarm him, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people. 

But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle—a shifting maze of magical rooms—enthralls her. As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. But even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, could she refuse her duty to kill him? 

Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.{Goodreads}
Woah, first things first. Can you believe the last WOW post I had on the blog was in February!!? Freaking February!! Sorry guys! I am trying!! D:

Now....HOLY FREAKING COW!!!!!!!!!! Look at that lovely cover!! I would be lying if I said that the cover wasn't what drew me into putting this lovely on my TBR. Nope...the cover is so pretty!!! It is so gorgeous! I mean LOOK! I could seriously stare at it all day. Its designers like that I hope to be like one day! 

So, the cover...absolutely breathtaking. The synopsis (after I could finally peel my eyes away from the cover and actually read what the book was about) hooked, lined, and sinker-ed me! Wow. Belle is my favorite princess (who wouldn't love a princess who had a *uhem* IN HOUSE LIBRARY THE SIZE OF GODZILLA!!). ;D I love the tale of Beauty and the Beast. (even if the Disney prince isn't as appealing as the others)...that WAS kind of the whole point! This spin on the classic tale sounds absolutely amazing! I SO can't wait to get my paws on this one!

{Waiting on Wednesday} #38 Requiem by Lauren Oliver

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

Requiem
Series: Delirium #3
Author: Lauren Oliver
Release Date: March 5, 2013
by, HarperTeen
They have tried to squeeze us out, to stamp us into the past.  

But we are still here.  And there are more of us every day.  

Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight.

After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancĂ©e of the young mayor.  

Maybe we are driven crazy by our feelings.  

Maybe love is a disease, and we would be better off without it.  But we have chosen a different road.

And in the end, that is the point of escaping the cure: We are free to choose.  

We are even free to choose the wrong thing.  Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. 

The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.{Goodreads}
  First off, yes you guys I know I'm slacking but I am trying. This is me trying. It has been what?? Since December 18 (I checked) since my last Waiting on Wednesday post. I know. Its terrible but I am really REALLY trying to be better. I have read MANY books and so there should be a heck of a lot of more reviews coming. Then there are more author appearances and giveaways to go with. I am also trying to be more involved. Hopefully more commenting back and go find me on twitter! I also like chatting on there! :D Anyways.....

  Oh my holy freaking cheese balls!!!!!!!!!!!! Words can NOT express how terribly excited and scared I am for this book's release day...and its only a few days away!!!! Excited?? YES!!! If you have not read the Delirium trilogy you are freaking LOCO! And need to read it like right now. You are missing out on one of the best series to ever entered this world. No joke. It is my second favorite series you guys. Yes, number two! It is in the book shelf "books-I-need-in-order-to-breathe". Its true. I need these books to breathe. These are the books I would keep with me throughout my life and read them every single day if I could. They are just pure genius and amazing-ness.

  Scared?? SO FRIGHTENINGLY SCARED!!!!!!! I don't know what's going to happen and I know for sure this book will be the death of me. I can see myself just lying down and dying after the last word. Alex or Julian? I am scared one of them will die you guys. I need it to be Alex to be the happily ever after. I don't want it to be anyone else. It can't be. The ending of Pandemonium was insane and the worst cliff-hanger you will ever read. It tore out my heart and shattered it to millions of pieces.

  So in case you haven't gotten the hint....this is one of my most anticipated books of the 2013 year. It may just be the MOST anticipated book for me this year. Again, if you haven't read it....do yourself the favor and start it then come back and thank me k? ;D

Dare You To
Series: Pushing the Limits #2
Author: Katie McGarry
Release Date: May 28, 2013
by, Harlequin Teen
"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all....{Goodreads}

{Waiting on Wednesday} #36 If I Should Die by Amy Plum


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

If I Should Die
Author: Amy Plum
Release Date: May 7, 2013
by, HarperTeen
I will not lose another person I love. I will not let history repeat itself.
Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together was shattered. He was betrayed by someone we both called a friend, and I lost him. Now our enemy is determined to rule over France’s immortals, and willing to wage a war to get what they want.
It shouldn’t be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality. I know Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he’s not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.
After what we’ve already fought to achieve, a life without Vincent is unimaginable. He once swore to avoid dying—to go against his nature and forsake sacrificing himself for others—so that we could be together. How can I not risk everything to bring my love back to me?{Goodreads}

  This is one of my all time favorite series!! It is what drove my Paris seaking heart...my obsession with all things Europe...the reason I hope to travel there one day, learn French, and meet a zombie/revenant boy of my own. This series is super good and the ending of the last one killed me!! I need this book ASAP! The author is absolutely amazing and cheery and so nice! I love everything about this book series! And hello!!! Their covers!! I have to say..the gold, amber, orange, green color scheme surprised me but it is still gorgeous! It is absolutely stunning!! The background...everything! But uh..who's creepy shadow is that!? 

  Haha anyways...I am so stoked for this trilogy finale...and so super scared at the same time...It's one of those books I am going to stare at afraid to open its pages then jump right into it....I will cry my eyes out though if something bad happens! I have no clue what to expect..I mean...that ending left you in depression so...let's see what happens I guess...

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on.....

Ashes on the Waves
Author: Mary Lindsey
Release Date: June 27, 2013
by, Philomel/Penguin
Liam MacGregor is cursed. Haunted by the wails of fantastical Bean Sidhes and labeled a demon by the villagers of Dòchas, Liam has accepted that things will never get better for him—until a wealthy heiress named Annabel Leighton arrives on the island and Liam’s fate is changed forever.
With Anna, Liam finally finds the happiness he has always been denied; but, the violent, mythical Otherworlders, who inhabit the island and the sea around it, have other plans. They make a wager on the couple’s love, testing its strength through a series of cruel obstacles. But the tragedies draw Liam and Anna even closer. Frustrated, the creatures put the couple through one last trial—and this time it’s not only their love that’s in danger of being destroyed.
Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling poem Annabel Lee, Mary Lindsey creates a frighteningly beautiful gothic novel that glorifies the power of true love. {Goodreads}
 I am a fan of Mary Lindsey. After reading her book Shattered Souls I knew I had to read anything and everything she wrote after that. She just has a way with making her writing flow beautifully and totally entrancing you throughout the book. Ashes on the Waves sounds soooo good! She does have a way with haunting novels doesn't she? All her books have this elegance with the haunting/creepy touch and I love it! Wagers on love? Love meant to be doomed? Yes please! And this cover! LOVE!! SO excited!!

In a city where humans and Darklings are now separated by a high wall and tensions between the two races still simmer after a terrible war, sixteen-year-olds Ash Fisher, a half-blood Darkling, and Natalie Buchanan, a human and the daughter of the Emissary, meet and do the unthinkable—they fall in love. Bonded by a mysterious connection that causes Ash’s long-dormant heart to beat, Ash and Natalie first deny and then struggle to fight their forbidden feelings for each other, knowing if they’re caught, they’ll be executed—but their feelings are too strong.
When Ash and Natalie then find themselves at the center of a deadly conspiracy that threatens to pull the humans and Darklings back into war, they must make hard choices that could result in both their deaths. {Goodreads}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm waiting on......

Catherine
Author: April Lindner
Release Date: January 2, 2013
A forbidden romance. A modern mystery. Wuthering Heights as you've never seen it before.
Catherine is tired of struggling musicians befriending her just so they can get a gig at her Dad's famous Manhattan club, The Underground. Then she meets mysterious Hence, an unbelievably passionate and talented musician on the brink of success. As their relationship grows, both are swept away in a fiery romance. But when their love is tested by a cruel whim of fate, will pride keep them apart?Chelsea has always believed that her mom died of a sudden illness, until she finds a letter her dad has kept from her for years -- a letter from her mom, Catherine, who didn't die: She disappeared. Driven by unanswered questions, Chelsea sets out to look for her -- starting with the return address on the letter: The Underground.
Told in two voices, twenty years apart, Catherine interweaves a timeless forbidden romance with a compelling modern mystery. {Goodreads}
 Uses for Boys
Author: Erica Lorraine Scheidr
Release Date: January 15, 2013
Anna remembers a time before boys, when she was little and everything made sense. When she and her mom were a family, just the two of them against the world. But now her mom is gone most of the time, chasing the next marriage, brining home the next stepfather. Anna is left on her own—until she discovers that she can make boys her family. From Desmond to Joey, Todd to Sam, Anna learns that if you give boys what they want, you can get what you need. But the price is high—the other kids make fun of her; the girls call her a slut. Anna's new friend, Toy, seems to have found a way around the loneliness, but Toy has her own secrets that even Anna can't know.
Then comes Sam. When Anna actually meets a boy who is more than just useful, whose family eats dinner together, laughs, and tells stories, the truth about love becomes clear. And she finally learns how it feels to have something to lose—and something to offer. Real, shocking, uplifting, and stunningly lyrical, Uses for Boys is a story of breaking down and growing up. {Goodreads}
First...as I've said before...I love retellings! Like so much! And Catherine seems so super good!! Two different stories. I might just really love it! :) Second....I am a sucker for the story of finding self worth especially when it comes to a guy helping that out! An amazingly sweet guy that has a huge family tie! A-DOR-A-BLE!! *melts* I can tell I am going to really realy love this one! And eep! look at the cute cover! It just makes me sigh and wish ya know?? Haha

{Waiting on Wednesday} Hysteria by Megan Miranda #31

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.


This week I'm waiting on.....

Hysteria 
by, Megan Miranda
Release Date: February 5, 2013
Mallory's life is falling apart. Her boyfriend was stabbed. He bled to death in her kitchen. Mallory was the one who stabbed him. But she can't remember what happened that night. She only remembers the fear . . . 
When Mallory's parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the gossip and the threats. But someone, or something, has followed her. There's the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. A voice whispering her name. And everyone knows what happened. So when a pupil is found dead, Mallory's name is on their lips. Her past can be forgotten but it's never gone. Can Mallory live with that? {Goodreads}


How mind blowing does that sound ya'll?? It almost reminds me of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Almost. In the sense of the whole mind boggling. Dudes...Mara had my mind spinning so much it hurt! But I loved it! I loved how it was so mysterious and that I couldn't see what was coming. So if Hysteria is anything like that....I am already a huge fan! I love those kinds of books! And it has that creepy murder background that I am morbidly obsessed with ;D I'm not too sure I am a fan of the cover though. Idk it is kinda...sloppy?? The title seems just copy and pasted in and the person seems off centered..idk it just doesnt...doesn't flow. But you know what they say...never judge a book off its cover.

I have yet to read Miranda's first book Fractured but I have heard nothing but great things so I am truly! looking forward to this 2013 book!! :D

What about you? What are you waiting on this week?

Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side…. {Goodreads}

When Nadia’s family moves to Captive’s Sound, she instantly realizes there’s more to it than meets the eye. Descended from witches, Nadia senses a dark and powerful magic at work in the town. Mateo has lived in Captive’s Sound his entire life, trying to dodge the local legend that a curse has been placed on his family that will cause him to go insane. When the strange dreams Mateo has been having of rescuing a beautiful girl—Nadia—from a car accident come true, he knows he’s doomed.

Despite the forces pulling them apart, Nadia and Mateo must work together to break the chains of his family's terrible curse, and to prevent a disaster that threatens the lives of everyone in the town. Shimmering with magic and mystery, New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray’s new novel is sure to draw fans of the Hex Hall and Caster Chronicles series, and fans of the hit CW TV show The Secret Circle. {Goodreads}

Well! Isn't 2013 a winner for amazing covers or what!? I mean man! Look at it! I love the simple and light swirl details, the awesome blue fire in the palm of that girl (Nadia??) 's hand and her dress! I want that dress! haha and the nice dark background with a tad of sparkle going on! Beautiful!!

But!! That's not the only thing that has caught my eye and made me choose it as my WOW pick this week.... To be honest, I don't think I have read one book that has witches in it..well witches as its main plot scheme. I have been meaning to read them but I keep pushing them aside ffor other books idk why! It just has worked out that way. And this sounds soo good!! EEP! A boy needing salvation!! ;D I soo can't wait for this book! I have yet to read Claudia's other books but I shall get on it at some point!

So what about you!? What's your pick of the week? Leave your link below!! :D
Have a great Wednesday!!

{Waiting on Wednesday} Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger (29)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine.

~This week I'm waiting on.......

Let the Sky Fall
Author: Shannon Messenger
Release Date: March 5, 2013
A broken past and a divided future can’t stop the electric connection of two teens in this “charged and romantic” (Becca Fitzpatrick), lush novel. Seventeen-year-old Vane Weston has no idea how he survived the category five tornado that killed his parents. And he has no idea if the beautiful, dark-haired girl who’s swept through his dreams every night since the storm is real. But he hopes she is.



Seventeen-year-old Audra is a sylph, an air elemental. She walks on the wind, can translate its alluring songs, and can even coax it into a weapon with a simple string of commands. She’s also a guardian—Vane’s guardian—and has sworn an oath to protect Vane at all costs. Even if it means sacrificing her own life.



When a hasty mistake reveals their location to the enemy who murdered both of their families, Audra’s forced to help Vane remember who he is. He has a power to claim—the secret language of the West Wind, which only he can understand. But unlocking his heritage will also unlock the memory Audra needs him to forget. And their greatest danger is not the warriors coming to destroy them—but the forbidden romance that’s grown between them.

Defiance
Author: C.J. Redwine
Release Date: august 28, 2012
Pre-Order
Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.
At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.
As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making. {Goodreads}

~This week  I'm waiting on.......

Burn for Burn
Author: Jenny Han & Sioban Vivian
Release Date: September 18, 2012
by Simon & Schuster
BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY...
THEY GET EVEN.

Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister.

Kat is tired of the rumours, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person– her ex-best friend– and she's ready to make her pay.

Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him.

Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they each had a taste. {Goodreads}

Doesn't that sound great! Hehehe ...a book about revenge!!!! Drama alert!! I really want to read this! For starters...I really wanted to read Jenny Han's first books but never got around to it...I will some time though...and don't want to miss out on this one for sure! And if this book is alternating POVS...which I'm pretty sure it is...its gonna be one hell of a book!! :O

So what are YOU waiting on this week??
Leave your link in the comments below and I'll try my best to stop by everyone's!
Have a great day and Happy Independence Day!!! :)
