 Rebekah vows to expose the truth behind the RecruitZ that are killing the innocents. These creatures must be stopped, but so should the people controlling them. When Rebekah uncovers who is behind the uprisings, her own life becomes in danger.

Cover Reveal: “All Broke Down” by Cora Carmack

In this second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack’s New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with All Lined Up, a young woman discovers that you can’t only fight for what you believe in . . . sometimes you have to fight for what you love

 Dylan fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one.

 Environmental issues, civil rights, corrupt corporations, and politicians—you name it, she’s probably been involved in a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail overnight, she meets Silas Moore. He’s in for a different kind of fighting. And though he’s arrogant and infuriating, she can’t help being fascinated with him. Yet another lost cause.

 Football and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And it’s trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He’s met girls like her before—fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn’t think he’s broken, and he definitely doesn’t need a girlfriend trying to change him. Until, that is, his anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about, his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect girl to help.

 Because Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.

Release Date: 12/02/13
Summary from Goodreads:
Katherine’s place is the same as any woman’s—on the shelf next to the dresses and bolts of cloth. When she’s sold to a warlock, life grows even bleaker. Her new owner is as old and rancid as he is cruel, driving her to do the unthinkable: run.

Nothing prepared her for being on her own. And she’s definitely unprepared for the warlocks hunting her down. But she must stay one step ahead because if caught, the best she can hope for is death.

Book One:

Pretty Pick of the Week: “The Offering” by Kimberly Derting

‘Pretty
Pick’ of the Week is an original feature (or meme) here at Pretty
Little Memoirs, created by me. ‘Pretty Pick’ was created for
the gorgeous book covers out there, that are out or are to be released soon, and etc. I
would love to see your Pretty Picks, so please share and link back!

 


Title: The Offering
Author: Kimberly Derting
Genre: YA – Dystopia
Release Date: January 7th, 2014
Published by: Margaret K. McElderry (Simon & Schuster)USA / January 27th 2014 by Allison & Busby UK

 

THE STORY

True love—and world war—is at stake in the conclusion to The Pledge trilogy, a dark and romantic blend of dystopia and fantasy.
Charlie,
otherwise known as Queen Charlaina of Ludania, has become comfortable
as a leader and a ruler. She’s done admirable work to restore Ludania’s
broken communications systems with other Queendoms, and she’s mastered
the art of ignoring Sabara, the evil former queen whose Essence is alive
within Charlie. Or so she thinks.

When the negotiation of a
peace agreement with the Queendom of Astonia goes awry, Charlie receives
a brutal message that threatens Ludania, and it seems her only option
is to sacrifice herself in exchange for Ludanian freedom.

But
things aren’t always as they seem. Charlie is walking into a trap—one
set by Sabara, who is determined to reclaim the Queendoms at any cost.

 

 

 

What a beautiful cover! This definetely fits right into place as my anticipated Pretty Pick of the Week. I’ve read the first book in the Pledge series, and REALLY want to buy the second in the series to catch up! I seriously loved the first book, it was everything I could’ve asked for in a whirlwind of amazement in a storyworld. 

 

happy reading!

‘Waiting On’ Wednesday: “Black Ice” by Becca Fitzpatrick

 

 

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. This is my second one without having a cover to show off, again! But I can’t wait to see what Ms. Fitzpatrick comes up with for the cover… 

 

So, if you can’t already tell by the obvious name drop above, my Waiting On Wednesday post this week is…

 

 


 


“Black Ice” is a riveting stand-alone psychological thriller that takes place against the treacherous backdrop of the mountains of Wyoming. Seventeen-year-old Britt Pfeiffer has been training to backpack the crest of the Teton Mountains, but she isn’t prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two occupants—who then take her hostage. In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off into the storm, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. But the task isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Finding one chilling piece of evidence after another, Britt uncovers the truth about a series of murders that have taken place in the region… and in uncovering this; she may become the killer’s next target.

BLACK ICE is gritty and frightening, twisty and sexy. There’s a touch of paranormal. The stakes are high and there is a definite case of it’s-not-what-it-seems going on…

Add on Goodreads?



 

Expected publication: October 2014 by Simon & Schuster

 

 I LOVED the ‘Hush, Hush’ Series and if ‘Black Ice’ is anything like how they’re written, I will be first in line to get my copy. Becca always writes with such realistic qualities to give the readers some belief into us being inside the book ourselves, getting lost in the storyworld, so getting lost in a psychological thriller will be a new experience for me!

So, are you looking forward to a new book from Becca Fitzpatrick?
