Stacey's choice..
Through The Zombie Glass
(White Rabbit Chronicles #2)
by Gena Showalter
Release date - September 2013
Published by - Harlequin Teen
Inspired by the childhood classic Alice in Wonderland, this harrowing and romantic story features teen zombie slayer Alice Bell who has lost so much—family, friends, her home. After a strange new zombie attack, Alice fears she may be losing her mind as well. A terrible darkness blooms inside her, urging her to do wicked things. The whispers of the dead assault her ears and mirrors seem to come frighteningly to life. She’s never needed her team of zombie slayers more—including her boyfriend, Cole—than she does now. But as Cole strangely withdraws and the zombies gain new strength, Ali knows one false step may doom them all.
I absolutely LOVED Alice In Zombieland (MY REVIEW) and can't WAIT for this one.
Renee's choice...
Winter Queen
(Fairy Queens #1)
by Amber Argyle
Release date - 19th June 2013
Published by - Starling Publishing
~Becoming a winter queen will make Ilyenna as cold and cruel and deadly as winter itself, but it might be the only way to save her people from a war they have no hope of winning.~
Mortally wounded during a raid, seventeen-year-old Ilyenna is healed by winter fairies who present her with a seductive offer: become one of them and share their power over winter. But that power comes with a price. If she accepts, she will become a force of nature, lose her humanity, and abandon her family.
Unwilling to pay such a high price, Ilyenna is enslaved by one of the invaders, Darrien. While in captivity, she learns the attack wasn’t just a simple raid but part of a larger plot to overthrow her entire nation.
With the enemy stealing over the mountains and Darrien coming to take her to his bed, Ilyenna must decide whether to resurrect the power the fairies left behind. Doing so will allow her to defeat Darrien and the other invaders, but if she embraces winter, she will lose herself to that destroying power—forever.

Both of those look great. I didn't know the Showalter sequel was already coming out (I still have to read the first one!). Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to check out the giveaway I have up on my blog for a copy of "Dreams and Shadows" by C. Robert Cargill.
