Book of the week {5}


This week as our book of the week we have Grave Mercy by R.L. LaFevers. This book is listed as History Fiction, and It's very popular book right now. I don't read History Fiction, but If I get a chance, I would deffinetly read this one. The Book is part of His Fair Assassin Trilogy with two more books coming out 2013. The book was published April 3d. If you can go, buy and read this book. Here is the cover and the description. If you've read this book, tell me what you thought of it.

Why be the sheep, when you can be the wolf? 

Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others. 

Ismae's most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

Book of the week {4}

This week, as BOW we have THE IMMORTAL RULES by the one and only Julie Kagawa.
The book is set to come out 24 of april (MY BIRTHDAY, YAY. I HAVE IT IN MY WISH LIST)
I haven't read the book... And I'm so sad because I can't get an ARC from the publishers.
I chose this book as BOW because I think it's nice to have the vampires back. I mean, not Twilight vampires, thank god, because there are so many like that one.. This should be different with a great kick ass girl who is ready for everything.
Now I just wish that mrs. Julie would see this post, and she would give me an ARC or finished copy or what ever, because serilosly, If i don't read this book I'd die.
Now read the description of the book, and look at the wonderful cover...
I just love everything about this book..

                                                                                In a future world, Vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for the key to save humanity. 

Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. 

Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die… or become one of the monsters. 

Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad. 

Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a possible cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike. 

But it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what—and who—is worth dying for.

Book of the Week {3}

 It's Book Of The Week. A weekly feature where we put one book on the piedestal.
This week's BOTW is Incarnate  by Jodi Meadows.
Like the other two books in the last posts, I haven't read this book yet.
I can't buy it (too expensive for me), and i keep trying to win it at a giveaway, but luck is not on my side.
Maybe there is someone who can give me the book, maybe because he/she didn't like it, but I think that there aren't many people like that.
From what I've read on goodreads, reviews etc. this book is fabulous. If I can judge by the book cover I'd give this book million stars if it possible. It's the best book cover EVER.
Here is the description of the book, taken from GoodReads.



New Soul


Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.
No soul
Even Ana's own mother thinks she's a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she'll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
Heart
Sam believes Ana's new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana's enemies--human and creature alike--let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else's life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?
Jodi Meadows expertly weaves soul-deep romance, fantasy, and danger into an extraordinary tale of new life.

Book of the Week {2}


It's the new feature Book of the Week, second post.
For this week I chose TEMPEST by Julie Cross. I just received it last week in my mail, and I can't wait to start reading it.
From what I've read on goodreads, book reviews, I think It would be a fun and great book to read.
If you have read the book, share your opinion in the comments.The year is 2009.  Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, has a girlfriend… and he can travel back through time. But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.

That is… until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he’s stuck in 2007 and can’t get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007 and learns what he can about his abilities.

But it’s not long before the people who shot Holly in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these “Enemies of Time” will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time-traveler.  Recruit… or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decide how far he’s willing to go to save Holly… and possibly the entire world.

Book of the Week

This is a new feature on our blog and it's inspired from NovelThoughtsBlog's Book/Debut of the month.
Every week I will pick one new book that I'd  found in the last week, and like everyone speaks about it. Reviews it, Gets it in IMM etc.
For this week's BotW I chose STARTERS by Lissa Price.
The week that has passed I saw this book on many many blog's IMM. It's coming out 13th of March, tomorrow.
I'm hoping that the author/publisher will send me a review copy, because I requested one. ''fingers crossed''
If you have read the book, leave a comment telling me how did you like it.
btw. It has the best cover ever!

HER WORLD IS CHANGED FOREVER 

Callie lost her parents when the Spore Wars wiped out everyone between the ages of twenty and sixty. She and her little brother, Tyler, go on the run, living as squatters with their friend Michael and fighting off renegades who would kill them for a cookie. Callie's only hope is Prime Destinations, a disturbing place in Beverly Hills run by a mysterious figure known as the Old Man. 

He hires teens to rent their bodies to Enders—seniors who want to be young again. Callie, desperate for the money that will keep her, Tyler, and Michael alive, agrees to be a donor. But the neurochip they place in Callie's head malfunctions and she wakes up in the life of her renter, living in her mansion, driving her cars, and going out with a senator's grandson. It feels almost like a fairy tale, until Callie discovers that her renter intends to do more than party—and that Prime Destinations' plans are more evil than Callie could ever have imagined. . .
