Tumble & Fall -  Alexandra Coutts

Releasedatum: 17 september 2013

A novel about the end of days full of surprising beginnings 

The world is living in the shadow of oncoming disaster. An asteroid is set to strike the earth in just one week’s time; catastrophe is unavoidable. The question isn’t how to save the world—the question is, what to do with the time that's left? Against this stark backdrop, three island teens wrestle with intertwining stories of love, friendship and family—all with the ultimate stakes at hand.

Kommentar

En bloggare som jag följer hade fått den här som förhandsexemplar och hon gav den full pott, vilket såklart fick mig att bli intresserad. Klickade in mig på Goodreads och möttes av ett fint omslag och en lovande beskrivning. Tycker att den låter både fin och skrämmande på samma gång. Tror faktiskt inte att jag läst någon typisk "jorden-går-snart-under"-bok tidigare, men det låter definitivt intressant. Hoppas på att handlingen mest kretsar kring huvudpersonerna och deras tankar och känslor inför den kommande undergången, snarare än en massa information om själva undergången.

Star Cursed (The Cahill Witch Chronicles, #2) - Jessica Spotswood

Releasedatum: 18 juni 2013

With the Brotherhood persecuting witches like never before, a divided Sisterhood desperately needs Cate to come into her Prophesied powers. And after Cate's friend Sachi is arrested for using magic, a war-thirsty Sister offers to help her find answers—if Cate is willing to endanger everyone she loves.

Cate doesn't want to be a weapon, and she doesn't want to involve her friends and Finn in the Sisterhood's schemes. But when Maura and Tess join the Sisterhood, Maura makes it clear that she'll do whatever it takes to lead the witches to victory. Even if it means sacrifices. Even if it means overthrowing Cate. Even if it means all-out war.

In the highly anticipated sequel to Born Wicked, the Cahill Witch Chronicles continue Cate, Maura and Tess's quest to find love, protect family, and explore their magic against all odds in an alternate history of New England.

Jag läste Born Wicked (sv. Farlig Förmåga) förra året och älskade den, så jag ser riktigt mycket fram emot uppföljaren. Vill verkligen veta vad som kommer att hända med Cate och hennes systrar.

Of Beast and Beauty - Stacey Jay

Releasedatum: 23 juli, 2013

In the beginning was the darkness, and in the darkness was a girl, and in the girl was a secret...

In the domed city of Yuan, the blind Princess Isra, a Smooth Skin, is raised to be a human sacrifice whose death will ensure her city’s vitality. In the desert outside Yuan, Gem, a mutant beast, fights to save his people, the Monstrous, from starvation. Neither dreams that together, they could return balance to both their worlds.

Isra wants to help the city’s Banished people, second-class citizens despised for possessing Monstrous traits. But after she enlists the aid of her prisoner, Gem, who has been captured while trying to steal Yuan’s enchanted roses, she begins to care for him, and to question everything she has been brought up to believe.

As secrets are revealed and Isra’s sight, which vanished during her childhood, returned, Isra will have to choose between duty to her people and the beast she has come to love.

Ni som har följt bloggen ett tag vet säkert att jag är ett stort fan av retellings. Jag tycker dessutom väldigt mycket om "Skönheten och odjuret", så den här boken är ganska så perfekt eftersom det är en retelling av just den sagan. Tycker att det låter som en ganska annorlunda tolkning,

 och hoppas på att den är lika bra som jag tror att den är.

Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland

Releasedatum: 7 maj 2013

For Cricket Thompson, a summer like this one will change everything. A summer spent on Nantucket with her best friend, Jules Clayton, and the indomitable Clayton family. A summer when she’ll make the almost unattainable Jay Logan hers. A summer to surpass all dreams.

Some of this turns out to be true. Some of it doesn’t. 

When Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy that forces the girls apart, Jules becomes a stranger whom Cricket wonders whether she ever really knew. And instead of lying on the beach working on her caramel-colored tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in paradise for the summer.

But it’s the things Cricket hadn’t counted on--most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely off-limits--that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet reality.

A beautiful future is within her grasp, and Cricket must find the grace to embrace it. If she does, her life could be the perfect shade of Nantucket blue.

Snubblade över den här boken hos en booktuber som fått den som förhandsexemplar. Hon älskade Nantucket Blue, vilket fick mig att bli väldigt nyfiken. Låter som perfekt sommarläsning och det passar ju bra nu när sommaren närmar sig.

First she lost her heart. Then she lost her mind. And now she’s on a road trip to win back her ex. This debut novel’s packed with drama and romance!

Rosie’s always been impulsive. She didn’t intend to set her cheating ex-boyfriend’s car on fire. And she never thought her attempts to make amends could be considered stalking. So when she’s served with a temporary restraining order on the first day of summer vacation, she’s heartbroken—and furious.

To put distance between Rosie and her ex, Rosie’s parents send her on a cross-country road trip with responsible, reliable neighbor Matty and his two friends. Forget freedom of the road, Rosie wants to hitchhike home and win back her ex. But her determination starts to dwindle with each passing mile. Because Rosie’s spark of anger? It may have just ignited a romance with someone new…

Ända sedan jag läste ut Amy and Roger's Epic Detour har jag letat efter fler mysiga road-trip böcker, men inte riktigt hittat någon som jag fastnat tillräckligt mycket för. Nu har jag dock hittat en som jag kan tänka mig att köpa hem direkt när den släpps, nämligen How My Summer Went Up in Flames. Den verkar innehålla precis allt det som jag vill att en road-trip bok ska ha: En stor dos humor blandat med kärlek och drama.
