The Night Itself (The Name of the Blade #1) - Zoë Marriott
A new urban fantasy trilogy from the critically acclaimed, award winning author of The Swan Kingdom and Shadows on the Moon.
When fifteen year old Mio Yamato furtively sneaks the katana - an ancestral Japanese sword - out of its hiding place in her parent's attic to help liven up her Christmas party costume, she has no idea of the darkness she is about to unleash on modern day London, or the family secrets that she is going to uncover.
The paralysing paranoia that descends on her before she gets to her friend's party is her first clue. The vivid and terrifying visions that nearly get her killed are a pretty good warning too.
The giant nine-tailed cat demon that comes after the sword and tries to rip her throat out? Overkill.
Seconds away from becoming kitty-food, Mio is saved by Shinobu, a mysterious warrior boy. But it's already too late. Mio has ruptured the veil between the mortal realm and the Underworld, and now the gods and monsters of ancient Japan stalk the streets of London, searching for her and the sword.
With the help of her best friend Jack, a fox spirit named Hikaru - and the devoted protection of the betwitchingly familiar Shinobu - Mio attempts to discover the true nature of the sword and its connection to the Yamato family. Because if she doesn't learn how to control the katana's incredible powers, she's in danger of being overwhelmed by them. And if she can't keep the sword safe from the terrible creatures who want it for their own, she'll lose not only her own life... but the love of a lifetime

Sawyer Dodd has it all. She's a star track athlete, choir soloist, and A-student. And her boyfriend is the handsome all-star Kevin Anderson. But behind the medals, prom pictures, and perfect smiles, Sawyer finds herself trapped in a controlling, abusive relationship with Kevin. When he dies in a drunk-driving accident, Sawyer is secretly relieved. She's free. Until she opens her locker and finds a mysterious letter signed by "an admirer" and printed with two simple words: "You're welcome."
Fler nya boksläpp
Vill läsa
Agnes: Den här veckan är jag mest intresserad av Truly, Madly, Deadly och Awaken. Är också lite nyfiken på The Sea of Monsters och The Night Itself.
Frida: Ganska många boksläpp den här veckan, men bara två stycken som riktigt fångade mitt intresse.
The Night Itself: Urban Fantasy. London. Japansk Mytologi. Jag vill ha! Låter hur spännande som helst.
Truly, Madly, Deadly: Det är inte ofta som jag läser den här typen av böcker, men av någon anledning så fastnade jag för beskrivningen. Kan mycket väl tänka mig att läsa den här om jag hittar den på biblioteket, men det är nog inget som jag skulle köpa.
Finast omslag
Agnes: Gillar omslaget till Out of Breath.
Frida: Faktiskt inget omslag som jag fastnade för den här veckan. Ovanligt.
Vill inte läsa
Agnes: Chasing Paradise.
Frida: By Referral Only, Facade och Chasing Paradise är bara några av många böcker som jag inte vill läsa den här veckan.
Fulast omslag
Agnes: Gillar inte omslaget till Camp Boyfriend eller Search Me.
Frida: Många fler "fula" än fina omslag den här veckan. This Strange and Familiar Place eller kanske Blurred.

The night itselfs omslag gillade faktiskt jag av någon anledning, kanske för att den sticker ut lite
