Beautiful Darkness
Kami Garcia & Margeret Stohl
October 12th

summary: Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen. Sometimes life-ending. Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.

This is gonna be awesomely amazing. Seriously. Because Beautiful Creatures was awesomely amazing, so obviously this shall be the same! Or maybe, maybeeeee even better! It's at BEA, if any of you people are there (I wish I was), so snatch it up if you can!

Maggie Stiefvater
Linger
July 20th
summary: In Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other. Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack. And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.

Oh. My. God. I cannot be the only one excited about this book. Because seriously, Maggie is a freakin' amazing writer. Like her words made me laugh and cry and think 'Oh my god, i'll never ever be this amazing'. Anyway, Sam and Grace's relationship goes to new lengths and now instead of it being just Sam and Grace's POV, it's also Isabel's and a new guy werewolf, Cole. I know all of you are thinking it's gonna be confusing but I know Maggie will pull it off in an amazing way. Go you, Mags! And just saying, she's an awesome person.

Sister's Red
Jackson Pearce
June 7th

summary: For Scarlett and Rosie March, the world is not what it seems. Werewolves, called Fenris, live among them in the form of good-looking men who prey on pretty young girls. When a Fenris attacked the March girls, it killed their grandmother and left them emotionally and, for Scarlett, physically scarred. Since then, they have taken action and revenge. With the help of a friend, Silas, the girls are on a mission—to destroy as many Fenris as they can. This goal becomes more complicated when they try to unravel the mystery behind the pack and prevent the next "Potential" from transforming fully into a soulless, evil monster. Pearce is on the mark with this modern-day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Told by the sisters in alternating chapters, this well-written, high-action adventure grabs readers and never lets go. Rosie and Scarlett are true heroines; smart, tough, and determined, but their special bond is put to test when Rosie and Silas's relationship becomes more than just friendship. A satisfying read with a fantastic cover

This is already in stock at bookstores! Go ravage your B&N and see if it's there, it's not at mine yet :P But this story is gonna be so awesomesauce. Hehe, and also Jackson Pearce is so amazing. I mean, she vlogs every Tuesday to talk to us little people about writing and disco people and editing and publishing and fodder! She's so helpful and sweet and funny! I'm happy to know her, even if it is virtually. :)
