Waiting on Wednesday



Woohoo! My first ever Waiting on Wednesday! I've been meaning to take part in this feature forever but have been so caught up in books already released since I started blogging that I didn't even want to think ahead to those not out yet for fear of increasing a tbr pile that is already a serious health and safety risk. But I've been chipping away at it slowly but surely, so I now feel confident enough to look ahead to my future reads. Thanks to Jill over at Breaking the Spine for hosting this weekly feature!

It may have been a mistake! I already have so many books I'm dying to get my hands on that I couldn't even pick just one for my first WoW ...

Assassin's Heart
In the kingdom of Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength of her Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible - and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct - and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.



The Shadow Queen
Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common - magic. She’ll have to be stronger, faster, and more powerful than Irina, the most dangerous sorceress Ravenspire has ever seen. In the neighboring kingdom of Eldr, when Prince Kol’s father and older brother are killed by an invading army of magic-wielding ogres, the second-born prince is suddenly given the responsibility of saving his kingdom. To do that, Kol needs magic - and the only way to get it is to make a deal with the queen of Ravenspire, promise to become her personal huntsman…and bring her Lorelai’s heart.


Burning Glass
Sonya was born with the rare gift to feel what those around her feel - both physically and emotionally - a gift she’s kept hidden from the empire for seventeen long years. After a reckless mistake wipes out all the other girls with similar abilities, Sonya is hauled off to the palace and forced to serve the emperor as his sovereign Auraseer. Tasked with sensing the intentions of would-be assassins, Sonya is under constant pressure to protect the emperor. One mistake, one small failure, will cost her own life and the lives of the few people left in the world who still trust her.



Reign of Shadows
Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing she is dead. But that doesn’t stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.



As you can probably guess, I have a type when it comes to books! Are there any other books in this vein due out soon that I simply have to check out? Let me know my fellow YA lovers!

    1. Thanks Zareena! I do feel like there needs to be a bit of a rethink on YA novel titles though, I didn't realise how often the same words came up!

    1. Burning Glass does sound a bit cliche (although so do the other three to be fair!) but it's a cliche I love. 2016 is going to be a good year for books!

  3. Your choices are awesome! I'm busy writing so I don't know when I'll get enough time to ready any of these, but I must say, I love the covers! I think this year has been a great year for book covers! :)

    1. Absolutely, I did a whole post just on gorgeous cover art because I was seeing so many incredible covers!

      Please tell me you're writing the next Everealm book? The review for books one and two are in progress and I'm hoping to post them soon.

    1. Haha, yeah I do definitely have a book type. And a book title type I think. Put the words "reign", "queen", "assassin", "shadow" in your book name and I'll probably buy it!

      Aw, thank you. I'll stop by and check out your blog.

    1. I've come to terms with the fact that my TBR pile will be with me forever. For every book I clear, I add about five more! They all sound fantastic, exactly my kind of reads. 2016 is going to be a good year for books I think.
