What I'm Reading and Upcomming Releases.

So, I thought I would write a post about what I'm currently reading and what new releases I'm looking forward to!



I'm currently devouring this young adult read The 100 by Kass Morgan.  It's a science fiction and post apocalyptic. The book has also been turned into a popular tv series on the CW network. I'm anxious to finish the book and start binge watching the show.

Book synopsis:  
In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.

Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again

The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead releases 02/10/15 and is the final book in the bloodlines series. I'm so sad to see this series ending.  Mead promises to tie up some loose ends from the Vampire Academy series. I'm hoping to see more of Rose and Dimitri in the final installment, and maybe a wedding! Here is a teaser trailer for The Ruby Circle and a link to the youtube video.

 The Return by Jennifer L. Armentrout releases 02/17/15 and is a spin off from the Covenant series. I would recommend reading the covenant series first to get a back story on the main character Seth. I'm very excited for this series because its going to be New Adult Paranormal book!!

Book Synopsis:
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off…

It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

Insatiable by Meg Cabot

"If I've learned anything in this life Meena, it's that there are a lot of scary things out there. Sometimes I just want to go into a windowless room until the sun comes back up, and the scary things have gone away.
 But the truth is ...those scary things aren't going to just go away on their own."

Insatiable by Meg Cabot was a very captivating read for me. The story played out like a romantic comedy movie with just enough action without overdoing it. Meena Harper is a writer for a popular soap Insatiable. Meena is frankly tired of hearing about vampires and especially the rival soap Lust with it's lead vampire character. Meena's world starts to unravel when she looses the head writer promotion to her airhead co-worker Shoshana Metzenbaum.  As if things can't get worse for Meena she gets invited to her dinner party by her overbearing neighbor MaryLou, whom is constantly trying to fix her up with someone. The only men in Meena's life happen to be her dog Jack Bauer and her unemployed brother Jon who currently lives with her. Also Meena possesses the psychic ability to tell how someone is going to die. So that kind of makes her a freak and puts a damper on the love life.

Someone has been killing young women in New York city and leaving their naked bodies throughout the city. The bodies of these women have also been drained of blood. You can see how this could be bad because humans are not to be aware of the existence of vampires. In addition, it's also forbidden for vampires to take blood from unwilling donors. 

Lucien Antonescu is a professor of European history , a writer, and he lives in Romania. Oh and he is The Prince of Darkness. Along with his charming good looks, he's rich, and he has a castle. He's the perfect package except for the matter of being undead.

Alaric Wulf works for a secret Vatican organization, the Palatine guard. He hunts vampires and is responsible  for keeping the existence of vampires unknown. He enjoys his work and getting to use his sword Senor Sticky.

This book is written with multiple point of views so you get to see into the mind of each character. This is the second book I've read by Meg Cabot. I enjoy her writing style and I can always count on this author to keep me laughing. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a light read with a little paranormal romance.
