The Wrath and the Dawn
by Renee Ahdieh
Summary from Goodreads :

One Life to One Dawn.

In a land ruled by a murderous boy-king, each dawn brings heartache to a new family. Khalid, the eighteen-year-old Caliph of Khorasan, is a monster. Each night he takes a new bride only to have a silk cord wrapped around her throat come morning. When sixteen-year-old Shahrzad's dearest friend falls victim to Khalid, Shahrzad vows vengeance and volunteers to be his next bride. Shahrzad is determined not only to stay alive, but to end the caliph's reign of terror once and for all.

Night after night, Shahrzad beguiles Khalid, weaving stories that enchant, ensuring her survival, though she knows each dawn could be her last. But something she never expected begins to happen: Khalid is nothing like what she'd imagined him to be. This monster is a boy with a tormented heart. Incredibly, Shahrzad finds herself falling in love. How is this possible? It's an unforgivable betrayal. Still, Shahrzad has come to understand all is not as it seems in this palace of marble and stone. She resolves to uncover whatever secrets lurk and, despite her love, be ready to take Khalid's life as retribution for the many lives he's stolen. Can their love survive this world of stories and secrets?

Inspired by A Thousand and One Nights, The Wrath and the Dawn is a sumptuous and enthralling read from beginning to end.

The Wrath and the Dawn has been around since last year while I was in reading-slump and so many people love this book. The story seems very interesting and intriguing, and the cover is very pretty too, so I'm kinda curious to know if it lived up the hype or not.
Although maybe it would be stayed for a little while after I got it, I certainly cannot wait to see this beautiful book on my bookshelf =D

So what's your Wishlist Wednesday this week?
Have a nice day everyone! =D

Alienated
by Melissa Landers

Summary from Goodreads :

Two years ago, the aliens made contact. Now Cara Sweeney is going to be sharing a bathroom with one of them.

Handpicked to host the first-ever L’eihr exchange student, Cara thinks her future is set. Not only does she get a free ride to her dream college, she’ll have inside information about the mysterious L’eihrs that every journalist would kill for. Cara’s blog following is about to skyrocket.

Still, Cara isn’t sure what to think when she meets Aelyx. Humans and L’eihrs have nearly identical DNA, but cold, infuriatingly brilliant Aelyx couldn’t seem more alien. She’s certain about one thing, though: no human boy is this good-looking.

But when Cara's classmates get swept up by anti-L'eihr paranoia, Midtown High School suddenly isn't safe anymore. Threatening notes appear in Cara's locker, and a police officer has to escort her and Aelyx to class.

Cara finds support in the last person she expected. She realizes that Aelyx isn’t just her only friend; she's fallen hard for him. But Aelyx has been hiding the truth about the purpose of his exchange, and its potentially deadly consequences. Soon Cara will be in for the fight of her life—not just for herself and the boy she loves, but for the future of her planet.

Alienated receives such a stellar reviews, everyone seems loving this book so much.
I actually have set my eyes on this book since the news was announced, and it does sound very interesting like a mixing between contemporary and sci-fi. I also need to read more story about alien so I think this book is a great choice.
I can't wait to get this book and devour it! =)

Pawn
by Aimee Carter
Expected publication: November 26th 2013

Summary from Goodreads :

For Kitty Doe, it seems like an easy choice. She can either spend her life as a III in misery, looked down upon by the higher ranks and forced to leave the people she loves, or she can become a VII and join the most powerful family in the country.

If she says yes, Kitty will be Masked - surgically transformed into Lila Hart, the Prime Minister's niece, who died under mysterious circumstances. As a member of the Hart family, she will be famous. She will be adored. And for the first time, she will matter.

There's only one catch. She must also stop the rebellion that Lila secretly fostered, the same one that got her killed, and one Kitty believes in. Faced with threats, conspiracies and a life that's not her own, she must decide which path to choose and learn how to become more than a pawn in a twisted game she's only beginning to understand.

First : the cover, somehow intriguing.
Second : dystopia, baby. That's cool and I love this genre.
Third : the premise sounds really promising and quite original, I've never heard something similar before.
I've also never read anything from Aimee Carter before, I see her series "Goddess Test" everywhere but still yet need to read it someday. I know this has been published a while ago so probably some of have read it. You may provide me your opinion about this book. =)

Nearly Gone
by Elle Cosimano
Expected publication: March 25th 2014

Summary from Goodreads :

Bones meets Fringe in a big, dark, scary, brilliantly-plotted urban thriller that will leave you guessing until the very end.

Nearly Boswell knows how to keep secrets. Living in a DC trailer park, she knows better than to share anything that would make her a target with her classmates. Like her mother's job as an exotic dancer, her obsession with the personal ads, and especially the emotions she can taste when she brushes against someone's skin. But when a serial killer goes on a killing spree and starts attacking students, leaving cryptic ads in the newspaper that only Nearly can decipher, she confides in the one person she shouldn't trust: the new guy at school—a reformed bad boy working undercover for the police, doing surveillance. . . on her.

Nearly might be the one person who can put all the clues together, and if she doesn't figure it all out soon—she'll be next.

Nearly Gone won't be released until March 2014 but I'm already excited to read it. It sounds like a great read about a girl with a lot of 'dark' secrets yet suddenly she gets involved in one crime scene and have to work together with a hot, bad boy who's working with police, just exactly my thing! =D

Anyone also considers this book to be on your TBR list?

Allegiant
by Veronica Roth

Summary from Goodreads :

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation—like a single choice—changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The explosive conclusion to Veronica Roth’s #1 New York Times bestselling Divergent trilogy reveals the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.

OF COURSE I CAN'T WAIT TO READ ALLEGIANT! =DDDD
I already could not wait to read Allegiant after I finished with Insurgent. I'm really happy with the gorgeous cover (btw, I'm really curious with the wave instead of any symbol, does it mean anything?), the gorgeous title and expecting the great conclusion as well!

What's you WW this week? Are you already excited to read Allegiant like me? =)

Shadow and Bone
by Leigh Bardugo

Summary from Goodreads :

The Shadow Fold, a swathe of impenetrable darkness, crawling with monsters that feast on human flesh, is slowly destroying the once-great nation of Ravka.

Alina, a pale, lonely orphan, discovers a unique power that thrusts her into the lavish world of the kingdom’s magical elite—the Grisha. Could she be the key to unravelling the dark fabric of the Shadow Fold and setting Ravka free?

The Darkling, a creature of seductive charm and terrifying power, leader of the Grisha. If Alina is to fulfil her destiny, she must discover how to unlock her gift and face up to her dangerous attraction to him.

But what of Mal, Alina’s childhood best friend? As Alina contemplates her dazzling new future, why can’t she ever quite forget him?

Glorious. Epic. Irresistible. Romance.

The fact that it's a fantasy fiction set in Russia and receives a lot of glowing reviews make me so thrilled to read Shadow and Bone. It sounds really original and intriguing! I can't wait to purchase it once the paperback format comes out!

Sweet Peril
by Wendy Higgins


Summary from Goodreads :

Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.

Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

OMG I really LOVED Sweet Evil, I never thought I'd love it so much but I do =D I love the characters, the chemistry between Anna and Kaidan, and the relationship between Anna and other people around her like with Patty, her dad and other nephs, it's so awesome and well-built. Probably Sweet Evil is the best paranormal romance for me this year and I absolutely cannot wait for Sweet Peril! I can not wait to see what would happen to Anna, Kaidan and the rest of the characters. I think everything would be intensified here. So exciting!

Pushing The Limits
by Katie McGarry

Summary from Goodreads :

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.

Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

I heard gajillion amazing things about Pushing The Limits and it seems very popular and receives good reviews and ratings. I really need to get good contemporary novels these days and this book has very interesting premise I can't wait to know more about it. Probably I'll purchase this book if the paperback version is available.

The Madman's Daughter
by Megan Shepherd
Expectation release date : January, 2013

In the darkest places, even love is deadly.

Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the accusations are true.

Accompanied by her father's handsome young assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak, and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity, Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own blood.

Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Madman's Daughter is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.

I read so many good reviews already though it hasn't been released yet. The story does sound very interesting and suspenseful. A girl who finds out that his father has been creating a horror in an isolated island, I'm really curious what kind of creature she finds there. I have yet to read any horror story, well ugh I'm not a fan because I still love sleeping soundly, but this book already intrigued me!

Rush (The Game #1)
by Eve Silver
Expectation release date : June, 2013

Summary from Goodreads :

When Miki Jones is pulled from her life, pulled through time and space into some kind of game—her carefully controlled life spirals into chaos. In the game, she and a team of other teens are sent on missions to eliminate the Drau, terrifying and beautiful alien creatures. There are no practice runs, no training, and no way out. Miki has only the guidance of secretive but maddeningly attractive team leader Jackson Tate, who says the game isn’t really a game, that what Miki and her new teammates do now determines their survival, and the survival of every other person on this planet. She laughs. He doesn’t. And then the game takes a deadly and terrifying turn.

First, can you see how amazing the cover is? *swoon*
When I read the word 'game', somehow it reminded to Hunger Games. The story sounds really fascinating, mixture of Dystopia, Fantasy and Sci-fi, about survival game eliminating bad aliens. Wow! Also I love name 'Miki' =D

The Indigo Spell
by Richelle Mead
Expectation release date : February, 2012

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.


Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

I really love Bloodlines series, it's very different from VA but still captivating to know more about Alchemist and their specialities. I've finished The Golden Lily and already pre-ordered The Indigo Spell. Can't wait to read it. So excited to see Sydney finally realizes her unknown power. And of course this mysterious new guy, Marcus Finch, who's he and what's his role. I also want to read more about her relation development with Adrian. February can't be soon enough!
Anyone already read Bloodlines and The Golden Lily? What do you think about them? Like or not?

The Fault in Our Stars
by John Green

Summary from Goodreads :

Diagnosed with Stage IV thyroid cancer at 13, Hazel was prepared to die until, at 14, a medical miracle shrunk the tumours in her lungs... for now.

Two years post-miracle, sixteen-year-old Hazel is post-everything else, too; post-high school, post-friends and post-normalcy. And even though she could live for a long time (whatever that means), Hazel lives tethered to an oxygen tank, the tumours tenuously kept at bay with a constant chemical assault.

Enter Augustus Waters. A match made at cancer kid support group, Augustus is gorgeous, in remission, and shockingly to her, interested in Hazel. Being with Augustus is both an unexpected destination and a long-needed journey, pushing Hazel to re-examine how sickness and health, life and death, will define her and the legacy that everyone leaves behind.

Maybe I'm the only one who haven't read this book *facepalm*. Looks like I won't read any bad things about this book because it has fantastic rating at Goodreads. I still haven't read any John Green book yet but this sounds a very good tear-jerker reads, sometimes I need it =)
I often see this at my local import bookstore but I can't buy it for some reason and that pissed me off ><;;;; I hope I can purchase this awesome book soon =). Anyone already read this book? What do you think about it?

The Evolution of Mara Dyer
by Michelle Hodkin

Summary from Goodreads :

Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.

She can’t.

She used to think her problems were all in her head.

They aren’t.

She couldn’t imagine that after everything she’s been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets.

She’s wrong.

In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?

Everyone who already read and love The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer probably would agree that this series is really confusing. More you read and dive into it, more it confused you and yot also can't beg for answers because Ms. Hodkin let us wanting more and desperate till the end. But what is awesome is that we can't take our eyes of this sexy-dark-creepy story, and yes, WE WANT MOAR!
Right after the cover released (which is, OMG! Absolutely adore it!), I was like counting down the release date day past day. I also sigh in big relief because it has MORE THAN 500 PAGES! *flippin' acrobatic-ly*.
Well, it's still 2 months to go but I already soooooo excited and anxious! Can't wait to read more about the truth of Mara identity (if Ms. Hodkin is being kind enough to give us some) and the sexy Noah *squeeeee!*

Anyone already read the ARC of this book (and i'm soooooo jealous of you guys! TAT)? What do you think about it?

Foretold
by Richelle Mead, Carrie Ryan (Editor), Simone Elkeles, Meg Cabot, Heather Brewer, Saundra Mitchell, Diana Peterfreund, Laini Taylor, Margaret Stohl, Matt de la Pena, Kami Garcia, Malinda Lo, Lisa McMann, Michael Grant

Summary from Goodreads :

Have you ever been tempted to look into the future? To challenge predictions? To question fate?

It's human nature to wonder about life's twists and turns. But is the future already written—or do you have the power to alter it?

From fantastical prophecies to predictions of how the future will transpire, Foretold is a collection of stories about our universal fascination with life's unknowns and of what is yet to come as interpreted by 14 of young adult fiction's brightest stars.

I found this anthology at previous WoW from one blog I follow and I totally captivated because, look, 14 stories from 14 wonderful authors that most of them are my favorite! I was like found a heaven in a small cover picture! 8D
I'm not exactly sure, but Goodreads stated that Rose and Dimitri from VA will be appeared there, one thing that makes me squee-ing silently and already impatient to get this book. SQUEEEEEE!!!
I have very high expectation upon Foretold and I hope it would really meet once I got it.

Anyone already added Foretold in their Wishlist?

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

Summary from Goodreads :

Galen, a Syrena prince, searches land for a girl he's heard can communicate with fish. It’s while Emma is on vacation at the beach that she meets Galen. Although their connection is immediate and powerful, Galen's not fully convinced that Emma's the one he's been looking for. That is, until a deadly encounter with a shark proves that Emma and her Gift may be the only thing that can save his kingdom. He needs her help--no matter what the risk

I've only known about mermaids/men from the fairytale version from Hans Christian Andersen, Harry Potter The Goblet of Fire (mission that involved mermaids) Percy Jackson and The Last Battle (well, Poseidon's army should be mermaids/men, right), Disney's Little Mermaid and Pirates of Caribbean (which show a very contradict personality of mermaids), plenty mangas, and sappy foreign drama (from Philippines or Thailand, I can't really recall. I didn't watch it periodically by the way, my mom did =p). I haven't really experience a twisted YA reading centered on mermaids/men (although I have one on my TBR) so I've been planning to grab some titles soon. Then Of Poseidon appeared and I was intrigued by the story and the cover too. Also several book blogs I follow give very good reviews about this book so now I can't wait to get this and see the awesomeness of underwater myself! =D

Defiance by C. J. Redwine
Publication date: August 2012

Summary from Goodreads :

Within the walls of Baalboden, beneath the shadow of the city’s brutal leader, Rachel Adams has a secret. While other girls sew dresses, host dinner parties, and obey their male Protectors, Rachel knows how to survive in the wilderness and deftly wield a sword. When her father, Jared, fails to return from a courier mission and is declared dead, the Commander assigns Rachel a new Protector, her father’s apprentice, Logan—the same boy Rachel declared her love for two years ago, and the same boy who handed her heart right back to her. Left with nothing but fierce belief in her father’s survival, Rachel decides to escape and find him herself. But treason against the Commander carries a heavy price, and what awaits her in the Wasteland could destroy her.

At nineteen, Logan McEntire is many things. Orphan. Outcast. Inventor. As apprentice to the city’s top courier, Logan is focused on learning his trade so he can escape the tyranny of Baalboden. But his plan never included being responsible for his mentor’s impulsive daughter. Logan is determined to protect her, but when his escape plan goes wrong and Rachel pays the price, he realizes he has more at stake than disappointing Jared.

As Rachel and Logan battle their way through the Wasteland, stalked by a monster that can’t be killed and an army of assassins out for blood, they discover romance, heartbreak, and a truth that will incite a war decades in the making.

I'm so into dystopia YA these days and a strong girl as main character is my all time favorite. The story sounds dark and twisted, really interesting! Fantasy + dystopia + war + adventure + romance = total kick-ass! So can't wait to read this book!

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
Publication date: May 15th 2012

Summary from Goodreads :

What if there were teens whose lives depended on being bad influences? This is life for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.

Tenderhearted Southern girl, Anna Whitt, was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She’s aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage, and her will-power is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

A cross-country trip to meet her father forces Anna to face the reality that hope and love are not options for her kind. When she confronts her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

Sweet Evil has already dispatched and is on the way to my home, YAY! Waiting is such a painful thing, still 3 weeks more to get this book in my hand *already unpatient*
I was captivated by the cover at the first time I saw it, and the story sounds really intriguing. I've read some reviews at they really compelled me to own this novel, because they say it's different and darker from any YA angel story out there. Anyone has read Sweet Evil? What do you think about it? =D
