Waiting On Wednesday! (5)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. WoW spotlights upcoming releases that we are well... waiting on!

So I'm going to be breaking the rules a little bit! Opps! I'm waiting on a book that already came out but I jus
t found out about!

Title: Coexist (Keegan's Chronicles)
Author: Julia Crane

Summary from Goodreads:
"Sixteen-year-old Keegan is struggling to keep her huge secret from her friends-she's an elf, descended from a long line of elves that live in secrecy alongside humans.

In elfin society, mates are predetermined but not allowed to meet until they are eighteen. Against tradition, Keegan's brother Thaddeus told her Rourk's name because his visions warned him she'd need Rourk's protection, especially since Keegan will play a key role in the coming war between the dark and light elves.

Rourk finds himself drawn to Keegan's side every time she thinks his name. He wants to talk to her but remains in the shadows, silently guarding her every time she mentally beckons him. A twist of fate thrusts the two of them together when Rourk is forced to step up his protection and make his presence known.

An ancient prophesy deeply entwines Keegan's family and the future of their society. Somehow they must find a way to thwart fate and win the battle...without losing Keegan. With war brewing, and dark forces aligning, will Keegan and Rourk ever have the life together that they both desire?"

From the reviews I've read and the trailer it looks amazing! I love elves of any type (probably one of my favorite paranormal creatures) and so a book about them sounds just awesome! Only downfall is that it's an e-book! :( So unfortunately until I decide to take the leap and get an e-reader I'll just have to suffer. You can check out Julia Crane's website for more info on this book!

Waiting on Wednesday! (3)

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine. Big round of applause to them! :)

The first book I'm waiting on this week is...

Title: It Started With a Dare
Author: Lindsay Faith Rech
Pages: 312
Release Date: 09/13/2010
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Summary from Goodreads:
"Self-proclaimed nobody CG Silverman sees her move to an upscale new school as her chance to be somebody different. Her devil-may-care attitude attracts the in-clique, and before CG realizes it, a routine game of truth or dare launches her to iconic status.

While this rebel image helps secure CG’s newfound popularity, it also propels her through a maze of unprecedented chaos, with each new lie and every dare opening doors that, in most cases, were better off left shut.

CG is on a collision course with disaster. Will she be able to keep up the façade? Or will the whole world find out she’s a fraud?"

**Isn't the cover for It Started With a Dare just adorable!

This week I am also waiting on...

Title: Tyger Tyger (Goblin Wars, #1)
Author: Kersten Hamilton
Pages: 320
Release Date: 11/15/2010
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Summary From Goodreads:
"Teagan Wylltson's best friend, Abby, dreams that horrifying creatures--goblins, shape-shifters, and beings of unearthly beauty but terrible cruelty--are hunting Teagan. Abby is always coming up with crazy stuff, though, so Teagan isn't worried. Her life isn't in danger. In fact, it's perfect. She's on track for a college scholarship. She has a great job. She's focused on school, work, and her future. No boys, no heartaches, no problems.

Until Finn Mac Cumhaill arrives. Finn's a bit on the unearthly beautiful side himself. He has a killer accent and a knee-weakening smile. And either he's crazy or he's been haunting Abby's dreams, because he's talking about goblins, too . . . and about being The Mac Cumhaill, born to fight all goblin-kind. Finn knows a thing or two about fighting. Which is a very good thing, because this time, Abby's right. The goblins are coming."

They both sound really good, right? Tell me what you're waiting on this week! Leave me a link or just comment it! I'd loved to see what everyone else is waiting on!

Waiting on Wednesday! (2)



This Wednesday I'm waiting on The Thirteenth Chime by Emma Michaels. The genre is young adult and it's paranormal/urban fantasy. It's set to be released Friday, August 13th. Isn't that awesome! Friday the 13th! Also, in order to drum up some hype for the book Emma Michaels is being super cool and offering some super sweat swag to those who buy the book once it comes. For more information on that you can check out her blog post here! If you follow that link you will also find a trailer for the book and two widgets that you may be interested in picking up for your blog! And with out further ado, here's the description of the book!

"No one knew of its existence until it was removed from the attic upstairs.

In a beautiful house that overlooks the sea, an antique clock has the power to change the course of their lives.

The power the clock resonates will not only force Destiny and ex-boyfriend David on a journey into the depths of one man's mind long dead, but into the mind of a man filled with hatred and bent on revenge.

With the only clues to the nature of the clock having disappeared into the sea, Destiny and David must retrace the steps the man had taken into the darkness, before they fall prey to the trap he had set in motion over half a century ago.
Hatred never dies."

Waiting on Wednesday!

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted over at Breaking the Spine.

This Wednesday I'm waiting on The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa. It'll be out in August! Whoo! Right around my birthday! Although, I'd much rather it was out now. :)

"Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.

Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart."

It sounds amazing right? I'm re-reading The Iron King, the first in the series, so that I can review it for the blog and now I'm really excited about The Iron Daughter! If you're interested in The Iron Daughter you can read The Iron King, the first in the Iron Fey series, or the novella Winter's Passage available here for download. Winter's Passage is a short story about Meaghan and Ash, two of the main characters in the book, and their journey into winter. This story takes place just after the first book so after you read this you'll be ready for the release of The Iron Daughter in August. I haven't read Winter's Passage yet, but I plan to shortly and even though it's not technically a book I'll put a review up!
