and number two is:  
Time Untime by Shreillyn Kenyon
book in the dark-hunter novel,

these are the only two on her list that I am looking forward too, but its not like I will be getting the second one anytime soon, since I don't want them full size and have to wait for the down grade. but it's all good, I still have two more before this one to wait for. 

but the covers are still cool, and I wanted to share with you all.
         till the next time

    Synopsis
Retra doesn’t want to go to Ixion, the island of every-night. Retra is a Seal – sealed minds. Sealed community. She doesn’t crave parties and pleasure like all the others. But her brother left for Ixion two years ago, and Reta is determined to find him.
  Braving the pain of her obedience strip to escape the only home she’s ever known, Reta finds herself drawn deeper into the intoxicating world of Ixion. Come to me, whispers a voice in her head. Who are the Ripers, the mysterious guardians of Ixion? What are the night creatures Retra can see in the shadows? And what happens to those who grow too old for Ixion?
  Retra will find that Ixion has its pleasures – but its secrets are deadly.

                     my Thoughts (review)

YeAh!

arhhhh...!!!

yeah, Angel Arias by Marianne de Pierres is coming out 3rd or Oct - or should I say, is out!!!


Retra – now called Naif – has escaped from Ixion, the island of ever-night. She doesn’t know if her friends on the island survived the battle between the Ripers and the rebels.

But she does know that she must return home, behind the sealed walls of Grave, to find out why the Ripers have been seen there talking to the councillors. What links the two worlds?

First she must convince Ruzalia to help her. The fierce pirate captain saves those who face terrible fates on Ixion, but that doesn’t guarantee their gratitude. Instead, she faces a revolt – and Naif is caught in the middle.

Naif will need all her courage to survive. For Lenoir, who wants to keep her safe, for her friends Suki and Rollo, if they live, for Markes, who has secrets of his own, and for the new friends she will make on this journey.

The fate of worlds depends on it.


this is book 2 in  the Night Creatures series (or trilogy, I'm sure now, the last still named Blaze Dark, but could change)

I can't effing wait, seriously I'm iching now to go out and buy it. 

Thanks for your time

Blogs that Help

Okay, so this is where I go on and on about how I can't find anything that helps and doesn't. 

What doesn’t—book shop websites, and if you really think about that the shops themselves. There isn't all that much information about the books. Well other than the description of what the books about. but not if it's an adults novel and to what level, honestly I found that it's actually hard to find out if the book in question is even a middle grade (that's what they’re called right?) to what's young adult.

To be honest it was actually really frustrating, to me, the person who was looking for just that. I guess it's kinda a good thing if you’re a teenager and want a book that's a little older than your parents want you to read. Since it's not like simple research will actually tell them all that much. Or at least the simple research that I did, which wasn't really all that much. I do really suck at this.
Okay, so now, let's talk about the reviewer blogs that actually help you in this...
