So while I'm reading Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr, I figured I'd do a quick post on up-coming Young Adult books that I'm really looking forward to. These have official cover art, so when other upcoming books have their cover art, I'll post those too!
Burned by P.C. and Kristen Cast will be the seventh book in the House of Night series. I'm among the minority of readers who really liked the previous book, Tempted, so naturally I'm really looking forward to this. I heard a nasty rumor that it won't be available for Kindle until July. I hope hope hope that is not true! Read http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6917952-burned for the book description. The official book release date is April 27, 2010.
Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead is another can't-wait-for book. This will be the fifth installment in the Vampire Academy series. What will happen with Dmitri? ??!? It's killing the readers. Release it already, Richelle Mead! Read http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6479259-spirit-bound for the description. The official release date is May 18, 2010.
Gotta love the cover art on this book. The cover art on Fallen by Lauren Kate was one of the main reasons I read it to begin with (Yes...I do judge a book by its cover...initially) and was pleased with it. So I'm sure Torment will pick up right where the Fallen left off. I'm looking forward to see what develops with our beloved Daniel and Lucinda. This book will be released approx. September 28, 2010. It's still kind of far away, so there isn't a description yet on Goodreads.
The Reckoning will be the third book in the Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong. This series started out very shaky for me, but the more and more I think about it the more I love it. This series follows Chloe Saunders through her discovery of her paranormal powers and new friends she's made. They are easy, fast reads and are all in all enjoyable. You can read the book description at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6468666-the-reckoning. The Reckoning comes out April 6, 2010.
Radiant Shadows will be the fourth book in the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. I really love this series, particularly the story line that follows Seth, Ash, Keenan, and Donia. The secondary characters (ahem..Ink Exchange) were very "meh" for me. So I'm hoping I'll like this book, since it doesn't follow my *beloved* Seth. (see my Wicked Lovely review). Radiant Shadows will be out April 20, 2010, and you can read the description at http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6368610-radiant-shadows-wicked-lovely-4
