The Unbound (The Archived #2)

Victoria Schwab

Publisher: Hyperion

Formats: Hardcover, eBook

Age Group: YA

Expected Publication: January 28, 2014

 
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.
Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she's struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn't easy -- not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she's really safe.
Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She's sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she'll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels?
With stunning prose and a captivating mixture of action, romance, and horror, The Unbound delves into a richly imagined world where no choice is easy and love and loss feel like two sides of the same coin.

Deity (Covenant #3)
By: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publication date: November 6, 2012

"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "

Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate...

Do I really need to explain why I'm excited for this one?! I mean this means one more JLA book, more Alex, more Aiden, and everyone says this is the best so far in the series! I can't wait for Seth's true colors to come out (I am so positive he isn't a good guy). Plus, the summary gives me chills! "One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her from the beginning." My guess is that that's about Aiden and Seth (duh), and I just can't wait to see what happens!!!!

What are you waiting on this week?

Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2)

By: Tahereh Mafi

Publication date: February 5, 2013

tick, tick, tick, tick, tick it's almosttime for war.

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

Doesn't that just sound ominous? Gives me chills. I'm pretty much just dying here for the sequel to Shatter Me. I mean, I just can't get enough Adam, and Juliette is one amazing heroine, and I just want this one really bad right now. I just loved Shatter Me with every fiber of my being and I need the rest of the story. Also, isn't the cover just so pretty? I adore it.

So, what are you guys Waiting on this Wednesday?

The Archived (The Archived #1)
By: Victoria Schwab
Publication date: January 22, 2013

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.

Doesn't this just look fantastic?! And the cover is so pretty! Also, I am about to read the 100 page sneak peek you can get from NetGalley. Victoria Scwab is giving away The Archived bookmarks to people who read it & answer her 2 trivia questions! So yeah. Gonna do that. And I really like Victoria Schwab, so her book should be good, right? So, go to veschwab.wordpress.com to do all that!

What are you guys waiting on this week?

The Lost Prince
By: Julie Kagawa
Publication date: October 23, 2012

Don't look at Them. Never let Them know you can see Them.

That is Ethan Chase's unbreakable rule. Until the fey he avoids at all costs—including his reputation—begin to disappear, and Ethan is attacked. Now he must change the rules to protect his family. To save a girl he never thought he's dare to fall for.

Ethan thought he had protected himself from his older sister's world—the land of Faery. His previous time in the Iron Realm left him with nothing but fear and disgust for the world Meghan Chase has made her home, a land of myths and talking cats, of magic and seductive enemies. But when destiny comes for Ethan, there is no escape from a danger long, long forgotten.

My name is Ethan Chase. And I may not live to see my eighteenth birthday.

Doesn't that last sentence just give you chills? It certainly does for me. I'm just excited to delve back into the world of the Iron Fey, especially because I loved the first series soooo much. Julie Kagawa is an amazing author, and I just can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!! (Also, little Ethan has grown up quite nicely doncha think?) :)

What are you waiting on this week? I promise I'll try to be more timely in following up on your links this week! (key word there is try) I'll definitely get to them eventually, though!
