Waiting on Wednesday (42)

Trial by Fire by Josephine Angelini

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

I absolutely loved this author Starcrossed series. I think I read the whole series in a weekend so when I saw she was coming out another series I actually squealed because I was so excited. I know this series will be just as good! Did I say how much I love this cover? I do, a lot :)

Expected Publication Date: September 2, 2014

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)

Love burns. Worlds collide. Magic reigns.

This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying many of the experiences that other teenagers take for granted...which is why she is determined to enjoy her first (and perhaps only) high-school party. But Lily's life never goes according to plan, and after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class Lily wishes she could just disappear.

Suddenly Lily is in a different Salem - one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruellest of all the Crucibles is Lillian . . . Lily's identical other self in this alternate universe. This new version of her world is terrifyingly sensual, and Lily is soon overwhelmed by new experiences.

Lily realizes that what makes her weak at home is exactly what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. It also puts her life in danger. Thrown into a world she doesn't understand, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone, and a love she never expected.

But how can Lily be the saviour of this world when she is literally her own worst enemy?

In My Mailbox (37) & Stacking the Shelves (43)

Welcome to this week's In My Mailbox. In My Mailbox (IMM) is hosted by The Story Siren, who was inspired by a fellow book blogger Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. It features books I have bought or received for review.

Stacking the Shelves by Tynga`s Reviews is about adding books to my shelves I received during the past 2 weeks whether it is physical or virtual.

I am so EXCITED to share the books I got in the past couple of weeks. When I first got them (one in particular) I wanted to scream because I was so happy I got it. Without further ado...

Bought from Amazon:

Black Box by Cassia Leo

Cage (Corps #2) by Harper Sloan

Received for Review:

Sweet Reckoning ( The Sweet Trilogy #3) by Wendy Higgins

Sleep No More by Aprilynne Pike

The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles #1) by Mary E. Pearson

You may have guessed it, Sweet Reckoning is the book I was jumping up and down when I saw I was approved for it. I am so excited to start this but I have a few other books I have to read before I can. I also requested Sleep No More because it sounded interesting when I read the description. I am also super excited about The Kiss of Deception. All in all, I got some awesome books this week!

What books did you get???
