In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out.<br /><br />When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the Gatherers to become a bride, she enters a world of wealth and privilege. Despite her husband Linden's genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape—to find her twin brother and go home.<br /><br />But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Linden's eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant she trusts, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limted time she has left.</span>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15018618314071013122noreply@blogger.com131tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954146137480844069.post-32765946361033101152010-08-11T14:32:00.000-07:002010-08-11T14:45:13.371-07:00Waiting on Wednesday<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">This was started by Jill at <a href="http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/">Breaking the Spine</a>. <span style="font-size:100%;">Waiting on Wednesday shares the upcoming books </span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">(or books i want)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> that I'm most excited about.<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: normal;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/54800000/54801536.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 398px; height: 600px;" src="http://images.barnesandnoble.com/images/54800000/54801536.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kid Vs.

The officers break the boy’s chains to rescue him, but he escapes. Venice is at the height of its power. In theory Duke Marco commands. But Marco is a simpleton so his aunt and uncle rule in his stead. They command the seas, tax the colonies, and, like those in power before them, fears assassins better than their own. In a side chapel, Marco’s fifteen-year old cousin prays for deliverance from her forced marriage. It is her bad fortune to be there when Mamluk pirates break in to steal a chalice, but it is the Mamluks’ good luck – they kidnap her. In the gardens beside the chapel, Atilo, the Duke’s chief assassin, prepares to kill his latest victim. Having cut the man’s throat, he turns back, having heard a noise, and finds a boy crouched over the dying man, drinking blood from the wound. The speed with which the boy dodges a dagger and scales a wall stuns Atilo. And the assassin knows he has to find the boy.<br /><br />Not to kill him, but because he’s finally found what he thought he would never find.

After all, the island is steeped in stories of mermaids' curses and the ill-luck that they bring. But Adrianne is fierce-willed and courageous and is determined to protect her family and the islanders from danger. Yet when the islanders find out about Adrianne's encounters with the mermaid, her family is scorned.

Theia knows she’s seen Haden before—not around town, but in her dreams.<br /><br />Theia doesn’t understand how she dreamed of Haden before they ever met, but every night has them joined in a haunting world of eerie fantasy.

And as she slowly discovers what Haden truly is, Theia’s not sure if she wants to resist him, even if the cost is her soul.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15018618314071013122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954146137480844069.post-89126874986753700542010-05-03T09:00:00.000-07:002010-05-03T09:09:11.161-07:00In My Shopping BagIn My Mailbox is a weekly meme hosted by <a href="http://www.thestorysiren.com/">The Story Siren</a> where we share the books that we received the previous week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1261370445l/7059697.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 462px;" src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1261370445l/7059697.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7059697-wereling"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wereling by Steve Feasey</span></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Description from Goodreads<br /></div><br />Fourteen-year-old Trey Laporte is not a kid anymore. Not after the day he wakes up in agony—retina-splitting, vomit-inducing agony. His clothes are torn. His room is trashed.<br />Enter Lucien Charron, the mysterious, long-lost “uncle” with freakish fire-flecked eyes and skin that blisters in the sun. Suddenly, Trey finds himself living in a luxury penthouse at the heart of a strange and sinister empire built on the powers of the Netherworld—vampires, demons, sorcerers, and djinn.<br />And there is a girl—Alexa Charron—who is half vampire, half human, and insanely pretty, with powers all of her own. Trey is falling for her.<br />Trey is training night and day to control the newly discovered power lurking inside him. Now, demons are closing in on every side, and the most psychopathic bloodsucker to rock the Netherworld wants to destroy him. Above all, he must face one terrifying question: Is he a boy . . . or is he a beast? <br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1264750168l/6600732.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 475px;" src="http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1264750168l/6600732.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><h1 id="bookPageTitle" class="bookTitle bigText" style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6600732-the-demon-s-lexicon"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >The Demon's Lexicon (Demons, #1) </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >by Sarah Rees Brennan</span></a><br /></h1><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Description from Goodreads<br /><br /></div>Nick and his brother, Alan, have spent their lives on the run from magic.

To top it all, Chloe is struggling with her feelings for Simon, a sweet-tempered sorcerer, and his brother Derek, a not so sweet-tempered werewolf.

But soon enough, spiritualism was the fastest growing movement of the nineteenth century, and Maggie Fox was trapped in a life of deceit.<br /><br />Meticulously researched by the author, We Hear the Dead reveals the secret of how the Fox sisters faked their rapping sounds and their motives for inventing the séance and founding spiritualism.<br /><br /><strong>Maggie</strong>:<br />I began the deception when I was too young to know right from wrong. No one suspected us of any trick, because we were such young children. We were led on by my sister purposely and by my mother unintentionally. Only with the passing of time did I come to understand the consequences of my actions. As Doctor wrote to me: "Weary, weary is the life by cold deceit oppressed."<br /><br /><strong>Kate</strong>:<br />My sister has used the word "deception." I object to her use of that word, for I do not believe that I have ever intentionally deceived anyone. Maggie has a different understanding of all the events that have happened since that night in Hydesville forty years ago. To her the spirits were always a game. For my sister Leah, they were a means to an end. For my mother, a miracle. And for me, they were my life's calling.

After she and her mother move to a Caribbean island for her senior year, she realizes that nothing at her new school's theater department is quite as it seems. Stunned by the death of a fellow student on her first day of class, Esti is soon surrounded by legends of the wicked jumbees that haunt the West Indies. She finds herself snubbed by the school’s star actress and relegated to a minor part in Romeo and Juliet.<br /><br />Only her intriguing new friend, the elusive Alan, shares her passion for Shakespeare. Hiding in the dark recesses of the theater, he leads Esti deep into her own soul to explore the limits of her talent. When Esti's childhood best friend moves to the island and back into her life, however, Alan disappears. Rocked by growing accusations of befriending a jumbee, Esti realizes she must find out who – or what – Alan really is. She is soon forced to defy everyone and everything she’s ever believed in, as she plunges into the mysteries of Shakespeare and the legends of the West Indians, discovering shocking truths about her own past that will forever shape her future.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15018618314071013122noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954146137480844069.post-42454134454142479772010-03-31T10:28:00.000-07:002010-03-31T10:50:27.128-07:00Waiting on Wednesday<strong>Waiting on Wednesday</strong> is a weekly event, hosted by <a href="http://breakingthespine.blogspot.com/2010/03/waiting-on-wednesday-this-is-where-we.html" target="blank">Breaking the Spine</a>, that spotlights upcoming releases.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2629/4093932776_b3b0d024d5_m.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 163px; height: 259px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2629/4093932776_b3b0d024d5_m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><h1 id="bookPageTitle" class="bookTitle bigText" style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7327262-moonshadow"><span style="font-size:100%;">Moonshadow: Rise of the Ninja by Simon Higgins</span></a></h1><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;" class="productDescriptionSource"><span style="font-size:100%;">Product Description</span></h3> <em>In the moonlight, the explosive fast draw became a horizontal streak of silver, flashing momentarily from the cover of the shadow.

She's had to move from Edinburgh to Highgate, London, with her parents. She's left her friends - and her entire life - behind. She has to start at a new school and, worst of all, now she's stuck in a creepy old dump of a house which doesn't even have proper mobile phone reception. Ravenwood, her new school, is a prestigious academy for gifted (financially or academically) students - and the only place her parents could find her a place, in the middle of term, in the middle of London, on incredibly short notice. So she's stuck with the super-rich, and the super-smart . . . and trying to fit in is when the rest of the students seem to be more glamorous, smarter, or more talented than she is, is more than tough. It's intimidating and isolating, even when she finds a friend in the conspiracy-theorist Caro Jackson - and perhaps finds something more than friendship in the gorgeous, mysterious Gabriel Swift. But there's more going on at Ravenwood than meets the eye.

Edwards Lifetime Achievement Award–winning author Francesca Lia Block.<br /><br />Love is a werewolf, influenced by the moon and terror, and always about to change....<br /><br />Something terrifying happened to Liv when she was thirteen. Something that changed everything. Liv knows she doesn’t belong anymore; not in her family, not in her own skin...not anywhere. The only time she truly feels like herself is when she’s with her boyfriend, Corey, and in the woods that surround her town. But danger lurks in the woods, too. While Corey and Liv’s love binds them together, Liv’s past threatens to tear them apart as she struggles to understand who—or what—she really is. And by the light of the full moon, the most dangerous secrets bare their claws....<br /><br />In the luminous hands of acclaimed writer Francesca Lia Block, werewolves take on a chilling new life. Loyal fans, as well as a fresh new generation of readers, will be enthralled.</span>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15018618314071013122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5954146137480844069.post-88431378107799264442010-03-23T20:48:00.000-07:002010-03-23T21:07:10.101-07:00Trailer/Teaser Tuesday and What are you reading mondays?<div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Teaser:<br /></div><br />Suddenly a shrieking mass of havoc swept out of the darkness-an aerie of strafing hawks, aeroplane nets glimmering in the dark.
