Blurb:

I will not lose another person I love. I will not let history repeat itself.

Vincent waited lifetimes to find me, but in an instant our future together was shattered. He was betrayed by someone we both called a friend, and I lost him. Now our enemy is determined to rule over France’s immortals, and willing to wage a war to get what they want.

It shouldn’t be possible, none of it should be, but this is my reality. I know Vincent is somewhere out there, I know he’s not completely gone, and I will do anything to save him.

After what we’ve already fought to achieve, a life without Vincent is unimaginable. He once swore to avoid dying—to go against his nature and forsake sacrificing himself for others—so that we could be together. How can I not risk everything to bring my love back to me?

Thoughts! :'>

The COVER...uhmm...is absolutely Photoshopped! UGH. They could have done better!! It looks like it was hastened to finish. .____.  COVER DESIGNER, kindly edit it! :) You have more like 5 months to make it look better! ^.^

Anyway, I love the blurb of the three books! I like the concept, but I haven't started reading it because I was waiting for this final installment. I don't want any cliff hangers to ruin my mood, so yeah. I'd rather wait for 5 more months to read the complete series than to weep in anguish while waiting after a cliff hanger. OR NOT. :P

Have you read the other two books? What are your thoughts? :)

God bless you! ;)

He saw her first, but his friend made the move.

She settled for the safer choice, but her heart knew the truth.

They love, they crave, they lie.

Garrett McCarthy, Annabelle Parker, and Milo Roberts were as close as friends could get. They shared in each other's joy during graduations, promotions, and engagements. They consoled one another through heartache and loss.

When one of the friend's life is tragically cut short, it's up to the two left behind to pick up the pieces and find out the truth - no matter the cost. As they slowly start to uncover the nature of his deception, and the very powerful people behind it, they begin to question everyone and everything, even themselves.

Everyone has secrets - some do it for love while others do it for power. Those secrets can change perceptions, alter reality and sometimes destroy lives. What do you do when you find out your whole life has been a lie?

Thoughts! :'>

I'm not entirely sure if this is YA Contemporary or not. Nevertheless the blurb caught my attention. It seems that there's some conspiracy and mystery going on here. I'm not a fan of mystery novels, but I'd love to check this out. Besides, the cover is AWESOME. Hoping the story is as good as the cover! 

Oh! Look at that, it's going to be released tomorrow. :) Sweet. :)

Nikki Beckett could only watch as her boyfriend, Jack, sacrificed himself to save her, taking her place in the Tunnels of the Everneath for eternity — a debt that should’ve been hers. She’s living a borrowed life, and she doesn’t know what to do with the guilt. And every night Jack appears in her dreams, lost and confused and wasting away.

Desperate for answers, Nikki turns to Cole, the immortal bad boy who wants to make her his queen — and the one person least likely to help. But his heart has been touched by everything about Nikki, and he agrees to assist her in the only way he can: by taking her to the Everneath himself.

Nikki and Cole descend into the Everneath, only to discover that their journey will be more difficult than they’d anticipated — and more deadly. But Nikki vows to stop at nothing to save Jack — even if it means making an incredible sacrifice of her own.

In this enthralling sequel to Everneath, Brodi Ashton tests the bonds of destiny and explores the lengths we’ll go to for the ones we love.

SEE THAT COVER?? When I saw that cover, it was just as awesome as this cute gif!!! I'd give a Photoshop Award to the one who made that!!! It's pure awesomeness!!! ^___________^ I haven't read Everneath, but it looks really good. So I guess, Everbound is also an awesome read. :) Anyone who read it? :)

Waiting on Wednesday #3: Requiem

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases we're eagerly anticipating.

For my 3nd WoW, I reveal my third most anticipated book everrr!

And that would be...*drumroll*....Requiem!

Book-iography

Title: Requiem

Author: Lauren Oliver
Published: March 5, 2013

Publisher: HarperTeen

Type: Series (Delirium #3)

Bookshelves: YA Books, Dystopia

Links: Goodreads 

Blurb:

Now an active member of the resistance, Lena has been transformed. The nascent rebellion that was under way in Pandemonium has ignited into an all-out revolution in Requiem, and Lena is at the center of the fight. Of Pandemonium, ALA Booklist noted that “like all successful second volumes, this expands the world and ups the stakes, setting us up for the big finale.”

After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancée of the young mayor. Requiem is told from both Lena’s and Hana’s points of view. The two girls live side by side in a world that divides them until, at last, their stories converge.

Thoughts! :'>

Delirium Series is one of those series that I crave to read, but won't dare because its final installment won't be released 'til six months later! Seeing reviews of Pandemonium and Requiem pains me to start Delirium not because it's an awful book, but because it's an incredibly written masterpiece that ends with a cliffhanger! :'< I won't dare start Delirium! :P I guess waiting for six long months to start a series is better than waiting for six longs months to know what happens after an unbearable cliffhanger! :P Heeheehee XD

Thoughts! :'>

2014? Seriously? Oh please. You've got to be kidding me. You'll make me wait for 2 long years before reading the complete series??? Haha. I haven't read TMI #1 because I am waiting for the release of the final installment of the series. When I learned that it won't be released until two years later, I'm having doubts if I can wait that long. I might as well start the series one of these days. :) But I truly hope it'll be released sooner! :)

Cassia faces the ultimate choices in the long-anticipated conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy

After leaving Society and desperately searching for the Rising—and each other—Cassia and Ky have found what they were looking for, but at the cost of losing each other yet again: Cassia has been assigned to work for the Rising from within Society, while Ky has been stationed outside its borders. But nothing is as predicted, and all too soon the veil lifts and things shift once again.

In this gripping conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Matched Trilogy, Cassia will reconcile the difficulties of challenging a life too confining, seeking a freedom she never dreamed possible, and honoring a love she cannot live without.

Is it Novermber yet? Is it November yet? :"> I love this series! I finished Crossed late April 2012 and felt broken as soon as I realized that the final book won't be released until the end of the year! :(( It actually took me at least 2-3 weeks before I recovered from my Matched hangover. =))) I just pray that Cassia and Ky won't be apart for too long. :( They've been separated in Crossed for quite a long time. :( Ally Condie...pretty please? :"> Hahaha! :D 76 daaaays to go! Can November get any sooner??? :'>
