Sydney
Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and
serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire
secrets—and human lives.
After their secret romance is exposed,
Sydney and Adrian find themselves facing the wrath of both the
Alchemists and the Moroi in this electrifying conclusion to Richelle
Mead’s New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series. When the life of
someone they both love is put on the line, Sydney risks everything to
hunt down a deadly former nemesis. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes enmeshed
in a puzzle that could hold the key to a shocking secret about spirit
magic, a secret that could shake the entire Moroi world.
Though I am beyond sad to see this series come to an end, I am completely excited for the final book in the Bloodlines series. Richelle has created such a fabulous world with first the Vampire Academy and now this one and I have loved the journey every step of the way.
Sydney is adorable and awkward, and my fondness for Adrian is all due to this series. I can only imagine what will be in store for us in this final book, but I do know that I want my hands on it as soon as possible. PLUS, I can't wait to learn what Richelle has coming next!

When 19-year-old
huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives

animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled
their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin
transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through
every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous
world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is
growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it ... or doom Tamlin—and
his world—forever.
I fell in love with Sarah's writing and world building from her Throne of Glass series. It is beautiful and imaginative and currently ripping my heart out.
To get a new series from her, and have two books a year from one of my favorite authors, is just amazing. Not only is this cover beautiful, but the description sounds so interesting, and I know that with Sarah behind it this book and series will be top notch.
I wish that it was already May so I can my hands on a copy.

The third installment in the mesmerizing series from the irrepressible, #1 NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Maggie Stiefvater.
There is danger in dreaming. But there is even more danger in waking up.
Blue
Sargent has found things. For the first time in her life, she has
friends she can trust, a group to which she can belong. The Raven Boys
have taken her in as one of their own. Their problems have become hers,
and her problems have become theirs.
The trick with found things though, is how easily they can be lost.
Friends can betray.

Visions can mislead.
Certainties can unravel.
I can't wait for this book! Not only because Maggie is one of my favorite authors, but also because this is also a pretty fantastic series. There's a little something for everyone: fun and interesting characters, fantasy and adventure, dead Welsh kings, all wrapped up in a modern setting.
And if you haven't read anything by her yet, this is a good series to start out with.

Wilhelmina has a hundred identities.
She is a princess.
When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other

stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne.
She is a spy.
Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study

kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows
suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and
their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone.
She is a threat.
Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic
has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent,
reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach
the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the
wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will
vanish like all the others
Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new

Love, vengeance, and greed spark a deadly quest for magic in the third book of the Falling Kingdoms series
Prince Magnus has just witnessed torture, death, and miracles during
the bloody confrontation that decimated the rebel forces. Now he must
choose between family and justice as his father, the cruel King Gaius,
sets out to conquer all of Mytica. All Gaius needs now are the
Kindred—the four elemental crystals that give godlike powers to their
owner. But the King of Blood is not the only one hunting for this
ancient, storied magic. . . .
THE KRAESHIANS join the hunt. Ashur
and Amara, the royal siblings from the wealthy kingdom across the
Silver Sea, charm and manipulate their way to the Kindred, proving to be
more ruthless than perhaps even the King of Blood himself.
THE
REBELS forge ahead. Princess Cleo and vengeful Jonas lead them, slaying
with sweetness, skill, and a secret that can control Lucia’s
overpowering magic—all so they can use the Kindred to win back their
fallen kingdoms.
THE WATCHERS follow Melenia out of the
Sanctuary. They ally in the flesh with King Gaius, who vows to use
Lucia’s powers to unveil the Kindred.
The only certainty in
these dark times is that whoever finds the magic first will control the
fate of Mytica. . . . but the four element gods of the Kindred have
other plans.
Not only are each of the covers for this series gorgeous, but I am also hooked on the amazing world Morgan Rhodes has created. Betrayal, magic, war, intrigue... she gives a little bit of everything in such an amazing world. I definitely can't wait for more!

A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen
years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens
enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’
only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and
who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic
and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during
Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by
the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately
in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do
anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.
So when scouts
discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s
magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling
towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s
always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and
Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous
politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not,
never has been, her own.
I've been super excited for this book ever since I found the description on Goodreads. It sounds exciting and fresh. And it's a debut which I love!

The second installment in the epic Starbound trilogy introduces a new pair of star-crossed lovers on two sides of a bloody war.
Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.
Lee
is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's
rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the
insurgents.
Rebellion is in Flynn's blood. Terraforming
corporations make their fortune by recruiting colonists to make the
inhospitable planets livable, with the promise of a better life for
their children. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and
decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.
Desperate for any
advantage in a bloody and unrelentingly war, Flynn does the only thing
that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with
her as prisoner. But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this
tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that
will change him forever. He and Lee escape the rebel base together,
caught between two sides of a senseless war.
The stunning second
novel in the Starbound trilogy is an unforgettable story of love and
forgiveness in a world torn apart by war.
For any regular follower or reader of this blog, you'll know how much I absolutely adored the first book of Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner's series, These Broken Stars. From the moment I started reading it I thought it was phenomenal and I've been anxiously awaiting the sequel when I finished book one.
I can't wait to delve into the story of two new characters, see old favorites, and get completely lost in these ladies writing and world again. They are a phenomenal duo!

Celaena Sardothien is
Adarlan’s most feared assassin. As part of the Assassin’s Guild, she’s
sworn to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and
trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam.
In these action-packed prequel novellas to Throne of Glass,
Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote
islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and
avenge tyranny. But by acting on her own terms, will Celaena truly free
herself from her master, or will she suffer an unimaginable punishment
for such treachery?
This bind-up features all five e-novellas, available in print for the first time!
I haven't had the chance to read these stories as ebooks, so I'm incredibly excited that they'll be in print. Sarah's Throne of Glass world is absolutely fascinating, and being able to read about what led to her arrest and imprisonment in Endovier is something I've been waiting for.
And I have a feeling this will have me even more excited for book 3 in this series, Heir of Fire.

The heart-stopping
conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Shatter Me series, which
Ransom Riggs, bestselling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar
Children, called "a thrilling, high-stakes saga of self-discovery and
forbidden love"
Juliette now knows she may be the only one who
can stop the Reestablishment. But to take them down, she'll need the
help of the one person she never thought she could trust: Warner. And as
they work together, Juliette will discover that everything she thought
she knew-about Warner, her abilities, and even Adam-was wrong.
In
Shatter Me, Tahereh Mafi created a captivating and original story that
combined the best of dystopian and paranormal and was praised by
Publishers Weekly as "a gripping read from an author who's not afraid to
take risks." The sequel, Unravel Me, blew readers away with
heart-racing twists and turns, and New York Times bestselling author
Kami Garcia said it was "dangerous, sexy, romantic, and intense." Now
this final book brings the series to a shocking and climactic end.
I have been anxiously awaiting this book for a while now and am so excited that it's finally almost here. This has been such an interesting ride: Tahereh's amazing prose, the characters, the world. It pulled me in from the very beginning. I'm probably one of the few people who still doesn't like Warner after reading Unravel Me, so I'm curious to see where everything's headed in this conclusion.

A new series returns to the world of Beautiful Creatures. Some loves are cursed...others are dangerous.
Ridley
Duchannes will be the first to tell you that she's a bad girl. She's
Dark. She's a Siren. You can never trust her, or even yourself when
she's around. Lucky for her, Wesley "Link" Lincoln can never seem to
remember that; quarter Incubus or not, his heart is Mortal when it comes
to Ridley. When Link heads to New York City to start a music career,
Ridley goes along for the ride-and she has her own reasons. As if
leaving small-town Gatlin for the big city, trying to form a band, and
surviving life with a partially reformed Siren isn't hard enough
already, Link soon learns he has a price on his head that no Caster or
Mortal can ever pay.
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New
York Times bestselling coauthors of Beautiful Creatures, are back and
casting another magical spell. Their signature mixture of mystery,
suspense, and romance, along with a dash of fun and danger, will pull
fans in and leave them begging for more.
I can't wait for this spin off because I loved the Beautiful Creatures books, I've really enjoyed their solo projects, and now I can't wait to see what they have in store of us once in the Caster world with Ridley and Link. I know it will be fun and exciting and a great project from the duo.

Paul has always known he
was a Protector, fated to serve a Speaker who could hear the voices of
spirits lingering after death and help those souls find peace.
Vivienne ignores the voices of the dead.
Paul
has always followed the Protector’s rule book, preparing diligently for
