Anticipated Reads of 2016

Hey!

So there are a few books that I am super excited to come out there year and this isn't even all of them but I thought I would make a start as I have already pre ordered some and some don't even have release dates!!!! These are in no particular order but I gotta get me these books this year and fingers crossed these actually come out this year

CURSED MAGIC by MADELINE FREEMAN

This is the 5th book in the Clearwater Witches series, following Krissa as she moves to a new town and soon realizes there is some crazy stuff going on and not just with the town but herself! Found a cover but still no plot or exact release date which is a running theme on this list... I fell in love with this series last year and have been a fan ever since, its easily relatable for me coming from a smaller city and the added magical influence really pulls it together. There is a lot of ups and downs and some crazy stuff happening especially the last book in the series I mean that ending!!!! I am not really a fan of the covers but love the background of them but it does show the main character of Krissa growing as you look through them which I think is a big part of the plot of the story. Its going to be very interesting where the story goes and I just can't wait to get more of Krissa, Lexie, Fox, Owen and the whole gang. Favourite character atm would have to be Felix he is just so epic! If you want to start this series I would definitely give it a go as its a really different play on witches among other things *wink wink*

The First book - Crystal Magic

Goodreads Synopsis "Nothing is safe around Kristyl Barnette. Windows break. Books rocket across the room. Lights flicker. Strange occurrences follow the sixteen-year-old everywhere. 

When tragedy forces her to move to the small town of Clearwater, Michigan, with her estranged aunt Jodi, Kristyl tries to leave her past behind. But Clearwater has secrets of its own—a mystical history that intersects with Kristyl’s life and might shed light on the inexplicable events that plague her. 

When a mysterious illness threatens her aunt’s life, Kristyl will do anything to cure her. Enlisting the help of witches could save Jodi, but is dealing in magic worth the consequences? "




UNTITLED 4TH BOOK by KRESLEY COLE

I really really love this series I read it at the perfect time and it just captured me in completely, the main character Evie is so funny and to watch her journey through as she comes to deal not just with whats happening with her but with the world around her! Plus sexy Jack does help always and the other lovely yet insanely creepy Death.The downside I have no cover, no sysopsis and a rough date of Spring 2016 so maybe May... The plot and idea behind this series is so awesome and unique I have no idea how she came up with it but am thankful she did! Its like hunger games meets superheroes meets awesome! there was just something about the story that just gripped me but I will say it is not for the younger readers, to me it is more New Adult than Young Adult, I mean this woman is epic at Adult romance paranormal so you know there is a few VERY racy scenes I can tell you that. The relationships and the characters are great and I feel like its a well put together series I can't wait to see what happens especially now that it is a full blown series now! AND looks like it is following the same way as many other books like Shadowhunter Series to be a TV show too.
Oh and dayum can we have a second to look at these beautiful covers I mean well donw so much better then the ones with the people on them!

The First Book - Poison Princess

Goodreads Synopsis "She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can't do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side."






CREEPYHOLLOW BOOK 6 by RACHEL MORGAN

So another book without a release date without a cover and without a synopsis... This is where I get worried like with the 4th book in the Arcana Chronicles with so much little information to go on I have no idea when this next book will come out. This is a continuation of an original series that followed Violet in her epic Faerie battle now in the next half of this series we follow Calla who is one badass guardian like Violet. There is a lot of cross over between the 2 series so it does help to have started from the beginning and at the 5th book it kinda is still a continuation of the first 3 from Violets POV. I love Calla though and think I love her story more, she is more relatable for me than Violet who was a bit of an outcast and very determined where Calla is determined but relaxed and wants to enjoy being younger. The story is set in an epic Faerie world where we have guardians who protect the Humans from the other creatures that exist to cause trouble yo!
I love the world as I really enjoy a series if the world is built properly and well done girl! And was my first Faerie book too! Lets hope this book comes out this year fingers crossed.

The First Book - The Faerie Guardian

Goodreads Synopsis

"Protecting humans from dangerous magical creatures is all in a day’s work for a faerie training to be a guardian. Seventeen-year-old Violet Fairdale knows this better than anyone—she’s about to become the best guardian the Guild has seen in years. That is, until a cute human boy who can somehow see through her faerie glamor follows her into the Fae realm. Now she’s broken Guild Law, a crime that could lead to her expulsion.

The last thing Vi wants to do is spend any more time with the boy who got her into this mess, but the Guild requires that she return Nate to his home and make him forget everything he’s discovered of the Fae realm. Easy, right? Not when you factor in evil faeries, long-lost family members, and inconvenient feelings of the romantic kind. Vi is about to find herself tangled up in a dangerous plot—and it’ll take all her training to get out alive."







LADYMIDNIGHT by CASSANDRA CLARE

Finally a book with a set release date and everything! I was so sad that this book got pushed back last year but dayum I am so excited to read this! I LOVE both the Infernal Devices and the Mortal Instruments I just can't wait for a new spin on this series and the characters sound so exciting! I know you can start at any of the series but I would totally recommend readying as the books were published this helped connect everything so much and I just can't guys the fan girl is real when it comes to this series. It is set in LA following Emma Carstairs (EH!) with the backlash from the last book in the Mortal Instruments. Its going to go so much deeper into the Shadow world and we get more Faerie which I am excited about as she hasn't really gone into this much in her series. It is set to come out on March 8th and that isn't even far away people so get this series going!

The First Book - Ladymidnight (Dat cover yo!)

Goodreads Synopsis

"Los Angeles. It’s been five years since the events of the Mortal Instruments when Nephilim stood poised on the brink of oblivion and Shadowhunter Emma Carstairs lost her parents. After the blood and violence she witnessed as a child, Emma has dedicated her life to to discovering exactly what it was that killed her parents and getting her revenge.

Raised in the Los Angeles Institute with the Blackthorn family, Emma is paired as a parabatai with her best friend, Julian Blackthorn. A series of murders in the city catch her attention — they seem to have the same characteristics as the deaths of her parents. Could the murderer be the same person? And her attention isn’t the only one caught: someone has been murdering Downworlders as well. The Fair Folk make a deal with the Institute: if the Blackthorns and Emma will investigate the killings, they’ll return Mark Blackthorn to his home. The catch: they have only two weeks to find the killers. Otherwise it’s open war between faeries and Nephilim.

The Shadowhunters of the Institute must race against time to catch the killers, even as they begin to suspect the involvement of those closest to them. At the same time, Emma is falling in love with the one person in the world she’s absolutely forbidden by Shadowhunter Law to love. Set against the glittering backdrop of present-day Los Angeles, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches from the warlock-run nightclubs of the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica."



FROM BURNING ASHES by STACEY MARIE BROWN

This is the 4th and final book in the Collector series and I am so excited to see how this is going to end, I first found Stacey Marie Brown when I read her Darkness Series which I really loved and I just finally thought I needed to get back into this world. The Collector series is a spin off series to this following different characters and how they deal with a big "natural" disaster in Seattle, it lumps hard ass Zoey with an epic viking Fae called Ryker and a cute loud mouth monkey sprite as they have to deal with what they are and there enemies. Its a fun twist on the Fae genre and yet super creepy at the same time, The bad guys are bad and gross but I still love the story, and can't wait to see how this all goes down. The characters are great, especially Zoey who is so funny and has been through so much that she brings a lot to the story and the mysterious wanderer Ryker is a really good contrast to her character plus when you add a monkey sprite and an super funny Pirate "trader" Fae it makes for a very funny and kickass book. No cover or release date but should be out sometime in Spring 2016, oh and not for the younger readers either it would fall into the New Adult category with some rather racy scenes and really gross ones too actually.

The First Book - City in Embers

Goodreads Synopsis

"Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her “last-chance” home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey will do anything to keep her safe. After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her co-worker. The man she loves.

But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them.

When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love"




BEAUTIFUL DARKNESS #2 by SARRA CANNON

SO another book with no cover no plot and no release date, I have seen from the author that she is looking at putting this book out this year but as she has so much going on she isn't so sure when she will be able to. This is a series and author I have talked about alot and I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of the first book in this series from the author which was super call and so exciting! To get an ARC is actually insane. This is really spin off series to her original Peachville HIgh Demon series as it follows the same characters as they take on there next enemy and continue to take down the Order of Shadows. I would recommend that you read the first series first just because it gives you a great idea in to the world and the characters but the cool thing about this one is that you get to hear from more POVs I talked alot about that in my review so definitely check that out. The author did say you can start here if you like instead of reading the other series so it is up to you.

The First Book - Emerald Darkness

Goodreads Synopsis

"Killing a priestess in the most evil organization of witches in the world has its consequences.

Harper Brighton is standing on the precipice of a great and terrible war. The Sapphire demon gates have fallen, but the four remaining priestesses of the Order of Shadows and their ruler--the mysterious High Priestess--continue to enslave demons from the Shadow World to steal their power.

Harper and her friends in the Demon Liberation Movement target the Emerald gates--led by a dangerous and far more cunning enemy than any they have ever faced. No one is safe. Destruction comes in the blink of an eye, and the entire human world finds itself frozen, locked in perpetual darkness.

Now, Harper must battle her darkest fears in order to save those she loves most. Will she lead them to victory or will everything they've fought for be lost forever?"



THE RAVEN KING by MAGGIE STIEFVATER

I am so beyond excited for this book! This series I started a few years ago now and OMG its so amazingly good, the characters the world the plot I could talk about this series for ages and ages plus that cliff hanger in the 3rd book and yo take a look at dem covers I mean those are some works of art!. This series follows Blue the daughter of a bunch of clairvoyants yet she is not and when she goes with her aunt to see the people that will die that year until she sees her first one, she sees Gansey, a Raven boy and she is drawn to him. And madness insues! the plot of this book is so hard to explain that going in blind is actually a good thing and made this series so much more exciting for me just so good! The characters are fantastic, I love Blue and Gansey but also Adam, Noah and especially Ronan plus there epic mission is just great, you will never guess what is coming next a highly rated series!. The last book in the series comes out this March around the end.




The First Book - The Raven Boys

Goodreads Synopsis 


""There are only two reasons a non-seer would see a spirit on St. Mark’s Eve,” Neeve said. “Either you’re his true love . . . or you killed him.”

It is freezing in the churchyard, even before the dead arrive.

Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue herself never sees them—not until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks directly to her.

His name is Gansey, and Blue soon discovers that he is a rich student at Aglionby, the local private school. Blue has a policy of staying away from Aglionby boys. Known as Raven Boys, they can only mean trouble.

But Blue is drawn to Gansey, in a way she can’t entirely explain. He has it all—family money, good looks, devoted friends—but he’s looking for much more than that. He is on a quest that has encompassed three other Raven Boys: Adam, the scholarship student who resents all the privilege around him; Ronan, the fierce soul who ranges from anger to despair; and Noah, the taciturn watcher of the four, who notices many things but says very little.

For as long as she can remember, Blue has been warned that she will cause her true love to die. She never thought this would be a problem. But now, as her life becomes caught up in the strange and sinister world of the Raven Boys, she’s not so sure anymore."







THE POWER by JENNIFER L ARMENTROUT

This is the second book in the Titan series following the character of Seth from the Covenant Series as he deals with the impending Titan doom! Thats probs a really bad synopsis but I'm too pumped for this book to really not make it dramatic!. I loved the first book and again its not really young reader friendly as I would say that it was New Adult. I loved Seth as a character and am super happy to see that he gets his own series, all you know how excited I am for this I mean I post tiny teeny snippets from the trailer that our girl Jennifer releases I can't get enough of this mythology and especially her play on it. I love her writing style and any book that I read from this amazing author is a hit with me. I do have a challenge that I will read all her fantasy novels and am now just down to 2! If you love Greek mythology get into this series!





The First book - The Return

Goodreads 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."




PERFEKT BALANCE by S.T BENDE

This is the 3rd book in the The Ære Saga which I believe is a series of novels each following a different epic female character as she gets caught up in the craziness that is Asgard, some of them follow humans who meet gods, another follows a Valkyrie and this one follows a High Healer of Asgard. I first found S.T Bende when I read her Elsker series which was awesome I might add and I love mythology so learning more about Norse was just so cool! They need more books about mythology people! The stories and characters are great and very easy to power through these books, especially the lovely Gods in these books Ull, Gunner the list goes on and on. I really like that this saga tells each of a different female but still follows the same assortment of characters and I just need me some mythology, if anyone has some more recommendations let a girl know!.




The First book - Perfekt Order

Goodreads Synopsis

"All's fair when you're in love with War.




For seventeen-year-old Mia Ahlström, a world ruled by order is the only world she allows. A lifetime of chore charts, to-do lists and study schedules have helped earn her a spot at Redwood State University’s engineering program. And while her five year plan includes finding her very own happily-evah-aftah, years at an all-girls boarding school left her feeling woefully unprepared for keg parties and co-ed extracurricular activities.



Book 2
So nothing surprises her more than catching the eye of Tyr Fredriksen at her first college party. The imposing Swede is arrogantly charming, stubbornly overprotective, and runs hot-and-cold in ways that defy reason . . . until Mia learns that she’s fallen for the Norse God of War; an immortal battle deity hiding on Midgard (Earth) to protect a valuable Asgardian treasure from a feral enemy. With a price on his head, Tyr brings more than a little excitement to Mia’s rigidly controlled life. Choosing Tyr may be the biggest distraction—or the greatest adventure—she’s ever had."

There are so many books to read this year and I am ready to get into this! But I do need these books now!

I hope you are doing well
Peace : )
