Waiting on Wednesday (38)

Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is:

Title: Mortal Danger
Series: (Immortal Game #1)
Author: Ann Aguirre
Expected Publication: August 5th 2014
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.

In one short summer, her entire life changes, and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly... bad things are happening. It's a heady rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who—or what--she can trust. Not even her own mind...

I'm a huge fan of Ann Aguirre, after she finished her Razorland Trilogy I've been waiting for her to write something new and this is it.

This week is Top Ten Characters You Would Like To Have With You On a Deserted Island

Since I have zero survival skills, for nature at least I’m a pro for surviving the City, I’d probably need people or in this case characters that now how to survive in non ideal circumstances and perhaps someone important so that my odds of being rescued.

1)      Dimitri Belikov: It first I was going to choose Rose but considering that I’m in a deserted island I think I would need someone more levelheaded that Rose.

2)      Katniss Everdeen: She knows how to make the best out of every situation so I’d really want her with me.

3)      Hermione Granger: Magic and brains could come in handy when you are in the middle of nowhere

4)      Saphira: She is a dragon so she could probably fly my back to civilization.

5)      Prince Maxon: As the heir to a throne he is a person of interest so I think the world would make an effort to try and find us.

6)      Magnus Bane: He has magic and his disposal and a fun personality that would make the stay in the island more bearable.

7)      Sidney Sage:  She’s wicked smart so she could probably find a way to escape or survive.

8)      Gwyneth Shepard: She can travel thorough time so probably she could stop me from getting to the island in the first place.

9)      The Darkling: He's handsome and powerful and has an army that would hopefully do anything to get him back.

10)   The Black Dagger Brotherhood Warriors: Powerful, handsome, smart vampires; they’d probably wouldn’t be able to help much during the day but they could watch over me while I sleep.

Monday Book Recommendations (3)

Monday is the day I choose what new books I’m going to start reading but I have so many books in my To Read Pile that sometimes it’s hard to decide so I have decided that on Monday mornings I’ll recommend my some of favorite books.

The Accursed Kings 

I read the first book in the series in the 8th grade as part of an assignment for my World History Class and I fell in love with it so much that my parents had to buy me the complete series. It's not Young Adult it's Historical Fiction that showcases the french royal family 1300's; George R. R. Martin called it the original Game of Thrones.

The Iron King (The Accursed Kings  #1)

The Strangled Queen (The Accursed Kings  #2)

The Poisoned Crown (The Accursed Kings  #3)

The Royal Succession (The Accursed Kings  #4)

Waiting on Wednesday (37)

Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is:

Title: Extraction
Series: Extraction #1
Author: Stephanie diaz
Expected Publicaton: July 22nd 2014
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin 

Clementine has spent her whole life preparing for her sixteenth birthday, when she’ll be tested for Extraction in the hopes of being sent from the planet Kiel’s toxic Surface to the much safer Core, where people live without fear or starvation. When she proves promising enough to be “Extracted,” she must leave without Logan, the boy she loves. Torn apart from her only sense of family, Clem promises to come back and save him from brutal Surface life.

What she finds initially in the Core is a utopia compared to the Surface—it’s free of hard labor, gun-wielding officials, and the moon's lethal acid. But life is anything but safe, and Clementine learns that the planet's leaders are planning to exterminate Surface dwellers—and that means Logan, too. 

Trapped by the steel walls of the underground and the lies that keep her safe, Clementine must find a way to escape and rescue Logan and the rest of the planet. But the planet leaders don't want her running—they want her subdued.

With intense action scenes and a cast of unforgettable characters,Extraction is a page-turning, gripping read, sure to entertain lovers ofHunger Games and Ender's Game and leave them breathless for more.

Although the cover creeps me out a little bit I'm very interested in this new series, it has a very interesting premise.
