Endlessly by Kiersten White read by Emily Eiden Kate Winters is back from her summer break and finding out that being a goddess isn’t what she thought it would be. With her marriage on the rocks, Cronus close to breaking out, and her rival suddenly back in the picture, things are definitely not turning into the greek fairytale Kate envisioned.

Wednesday’s Watch -The Legacy of Tril: Soulbound

May 30, 2012 by unwasted words

I like what’s cooking in Heather Brewer’s literary kitchen. She’s changing pace from chronicling bad boys to the legacy of a kick ass heroine. And it’s not hard to see why I’m excited about her new book with a description like this: Tril is a world where Barrons and Healers are Bound to each other: Barrons fight and Healers cure their Barrons’ wounds in the ongoing war with the evil Graplar King. Seventeen-year-old Kaya was born a Healer, but she […]

Wednesday’s Watch -Dark Frost

May 23, 2012 by unwasted words

I’m always up for a little mythology with comic book flare, and Jennifer Estep’s Kiss of Frost, definitely has me desperately seeking sequels. Dark Frost will no doubt please fellow fans of Gwen and Gin. Estep bridges the YA to Adult chasm with her gritty more mature teen novels. My favorite part of Estep’s books is seeing how her heroine’s powers evolve, and Dark Frost doesn’t disappoint. So add this one to the top of your TBR pile because you won’t […]

Wednesday’s Watch -The Dark Artifices

May 9, 2012 by unwasted words

Continuing the Cassandra Clare theme this week, I found this link a few days ago while doing some research on City of Lost Souls, about a new series by our favorite shadowhunter author. The first book is untitled at this point but the series is entitled The Dark Artifices. Here’s a few key snippets from the press release: Cassandra Clare, award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series, has signed an agreement with Margaret K. McElderry Books, […]
