Grace Cover

Wow! I must say this cover is gorgeous I don't think I've ever seen a cover as beautiful as this it's like a piece of fine artwork you find somewhere in a art gallery. When this book comes out I will definitely be buying it.



Release Date: September 16th

Summary:A fable of a terrifying near future by critically acclaimed author Elizabeth Scott. Grace was raised to be an Angel, a herald of death by suicide bomb. But she refuses to die for the cause, and now Grace is on the run, daring to dream of freedom. In search of a border she may never reach, she travels among malevolent soldiers on a decrepit train crawling through the desert. Accompanied by the mysterious Kerr, Grace struggles to be invisible, but the fear of discovery looms large as she recalls the history and events that delivered her uncertain fate. Told in spare, powerful prose, this tale of a dystopian near future will haunt readers long after they've reached the final page.

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins(Finally Out)

Hex Hall is finally out and I am so happy I've been waiting for months to read this so hopefully tomorrow I might stop over to my Barnes and Noble and buy one.


Released date: March 1( yesterday!!)

Summary:When Sophie Mercer turned thirteen, she discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-Gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hecate Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward prodigium, a.k.a. witches, fae, and shapeshifters. By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard. Three powerful enemies who look like supermodels; a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock; a creepy, tag-along ghost; and a new roommate, who happens to be the most-hated person and only vampire on campus. Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her friend Jenna is the number one suspect. Meanwhile, Sophie has a more personal shock to grapple with. Not only is her father the head of the prodigium council, he's the most powerful warlock in the world, and Sophie is his heir. As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all prodigium, especially her.

Cover comment: I love the reflection in the lake its so different I wonder how it applies to the book guess i'll have to read it to find out.

Captivate Review

Summary:Zara and her friends knew they hadn't solved the pixie problem for good. Far from it. The king's needs grow deeper every day he's stuck in captivity, while his control over his people gets weaker. It's made him vulnerable. And now there's a new king in town. A turf war is imminent, since the new pixie king, Astley, is moving in quickly. Nick nearly killed him in the woods on day one, but Zara came to his rescue. Astley swears that he and Zara are destined to be together, that he's one of the good guys. Nick isn't buying it, though Zara isn't as sure -- despite herself, she wants to trust the new king. But it's a lot more than her relationship with Nick that is at stake. It's her life -- and his.

My feelings: ''Captivate'' topped the previous book ''Need'' in a lot different ways for me. mostly because I liked that there were more things going on in this book such as making life changing decision to choosing who to trust. Nick and Zara are not my favorite couple and I would much rather Zara be with someone else (Astley!!) they still do have a strong relationship.Now moving on to my favorite person in the book Astley in this book he makes a short put major appearance and I really am glad that he was added in this series because he gives us mystery and that make me very curious to see weather or not hes on the good side or the bad. I really did enjoy reading this whole book and hope that the next book( if there is a next book.) will help answer some questions that are still pondering in my mind.

Overall: I would recommend this to any one who read ''Need'' and enjoyed it.
