WOW: Indigo Awakening

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine and is a great way to share a book you CAN"T WAIT for and to discover a few new ones along the way.

This week I'm Waiting on the first book in The Hunted series by Jordan Dane, Indigo Awakening. 

Because of what you are, the Believers will hunt you down.
Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.
A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only “the Believers” know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all.

My WOW this week is the fourth book in a series that I've had for a few months and have just recently DEVOURED!  If you like paranormal/ supernatural stories then I highly recommend you check out the Shadow Falls Series by C.C. Hunter.  

Release date: October 2, 2012

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin

A breathtaking new installment of the bestselling Shadow Falls series for young adults by rising star C. C. Hunter!
At a camp filled with vampires, werewolves, and fairies, Kylie Galen has always struggled to figure out what she is. Now she finally knows the truth—but she's left with more questions than answers. She doesn’t have a clue what her heritage means or how to harness her newfound powers. All she knows is that she needs to sort out her feelings for Derek, the sexy half-Fae who just confessed his love, and Lucas, her werewolf boyfriend who seems more committed to his pack than to their relationship. All the while, Kylie's dealing with a group of underground rogues who want her dead and a mysterious grandfather who makes it clear he doesn’t trust the FRU . . . or Shadow Falls. Soon Kylie will have to choose: Will she stay with the new family she’s formed at Shadow Falls, or will she leave with her grandfather and embrace her destiny?

WOW: Awry

Waiting on Wednesday or WOW is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine .

This week my WOW pick is one that I won't have to wait too long for since it will be released on June 12th!

Awry is the second book in The Archers of Avalon series.  If you haven't read Anew (book 1 yet), you have plenty of time to read it (about a week) before book two comes out.  

A little about Awry:

Sometimes love is meant to be. But sometimes love...is the death of you....
Seventeen-year-old Scarlet has just died. Only, dying isn't unusual for a girl under a centuries old curse that left her semi-immortal. 
This time, though, she comes back to her current life instead of awaking in a new one, and she realizes the curse is changing. Together with the immortal Archer brothers, Scarlet must piece together her life and try to break the curse before her impending death comes again.

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine where you can share a book that you are anxiously waiting to be released.

This week I'm anxiously waiting (with the rest of the Divergent fans) for INSURGENT! I devoured Divergent one weekend last May and have been anxiously waiting to see what happens next.  I'm working on building anticipation for Insurgent with my students as I have been getting them to finally pick up Divergent.  

Have you seen the latest teaser on Divergent's Facebook page:

Summary (Goodreads):
One choice can transform you—or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves—and herself—while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. 

Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable—and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. 

New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine where you can share a book that you are anxiously waiting to be released.

Zara is at the center of an impending apocalypse. True, she’s successfully rescued Nick from Valhalla, but it simply isn’t enough. Evil pixies are ravaging Bedford, and they need much more than one great warrior; they need an army. Zara isn’t sure what her role is anymore. She’s not just fighting for her friends; she’s also a pixie queen. And to align her team of pixies with the humans she loves will be one of her greatest battles yet. Especially since she can’t even reconcile her growing feelings for her pixie king . . . 

Unexpected turns, surprising revelations, and one utterly satisfying romantic finale make Endure a thrilling end to this series of bestsellers.

Why I'm waiting on Endure:
I have LOVED the Need series since my friend and school librarian had me read Need shortly after it came out.  I even have a READ poster she made of me holding Captivate!  I can't wait to see how this story ends. Plus look at the cover, it's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Waiting On Wednesday: The Selection

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine were you can share a book you are anxiously waiting to be released.  It's also a great chance to find new books to add to your list.


This week I'm waiting on:

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Release Date:  April 24, 2012
(this also happens to be my son's birthday)
Published by: Harper Teen

  For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in the palace and compete for the heart of the gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself- and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

 Why I'm waiting on The Selection:
Have you seen the cover?!  I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but I love this cover!!  Not only does the blue of her dress remind me of the blue that we used in my wedding, but the contrast between her red hair and the dress is breathtaking.   Plus I am anxious to see how America handles the situation that she now finds herself.
