'I promise I wasn't buying any books'

On the week commencing 14of Jan 2013

Hello everyone and welcome to my book news of the week post and let me start by saying there are some great sounding books coming out this month, starting with Lisa McMann's new series 'visions'. Her first book named crash came out on the 8th of Jan, although this was last week's news I felt I should mention it here as this book sounds awesome and I am loving the cover art for this series.

CRASH BY LISA MCMANN

BLURB:
If what you see is what you get, Jules is in serious trouble. The suspenseful first of four books from the New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy.

Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that.

What she can’t handle is the recurring vision that haunts her. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode...and nine body bags in the snow.

The vision is everywhere—on billboards, television screens, windows—and she’s the only one who sees it. And the more she sees it, the more she sees. The vision is giving her clues, and soon Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it’s someone she knows. Someone she has been in love with for as long as she can remember.

In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act—and act fast—to keep her vision from becoming reality.

Lisa McMann published her first book Wake in 2008 and went on to win the Cybils Award Nominee for Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction (2008), South Carolina Book Award Nominee for Young Adult Book Award (2010) and the ALA Teens' Top Ten (2009) with this first publication.

Wake, who resides on the young adult and fantasy/ paranormal shelf has a liking rate on goodreads of 87%.

Those lucky people who have already picked up and read Crash have given it a five star rating of 55%, I cant wait to read crash and hopefully add my paw mark alongside the 201 people who have already read this new release.

In other news Gate of Paradise by Melissa de la Cruz is due to be published on 15th of Jan by Disney-Hyperion. Gate of paradise is number 7 in the blue blood series which has a liking rating of 85% and over 89,257 reads.

BLURB:

Schuyler Van Alen is running out of time. The Dark Prince of Hell is storming the Gates of Paradise, intent on winning the heavenly throne for good. This time he has his greatest angels by his side, Abbadon and Azrael—Jack and Mimi Force, as they are known in the Coven.

Or so he thinks. Even as Lucifer assigns Jack and Mimi the tasks of killing their true loves, the Force twins secretly vow to defeat the Dark Prince once and for all. But how far will Mimi and Jack go to conceal their real loyalties?

Meanwhile, former vampire Bliss Llewellyn has joined forces with Lawson, the greatest wolf of the underworld, to free his people from their imprisonment in Hell. As they struggle against impossible odds, an ancient message, woven into the very fabric of time, reveals just how much depends on the success of their mission.

Lucifer seeks the key to the Gate of Promise, and when Schuyler is taken captive and delivered straight to Hell, she must make an unthinkable choice—the same one the archangel Michael was forced to make during the Crisis in Rome. Will Schuyler find the strength to do what he could not?

The epic, heartbreaking Blue Bloods series comes to a close with this final novel about staggering courage, unbearable sacrifice, and the immortality of true love.
