Lizzie understands me

I just can't right now. It's the sixth one and it's the last one and Cammie is going to graduate and her and Zach will live happily ever after and it's just all too much. It was announced earlier this week and I found it on my phone during class. I squealed. Really loudly. i got some looks but you know what, this is the last of the series and be thankful that I didn't just break down and cry right then and there. Saved that up for when I got home.

Title: Parasite
Author: Mira Grant
Series: Parasitology (1)
Publisher: Orbit
Expected Publication: 29 October 2013

A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease.

We owe our good health to a humble parasite - a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the tapeworm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system - even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.

But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives... and will do anything to get them.

My heart nearly stopped when I saw this on Goodreads. No one told me she had an upcoming title! God, I am so ready for this series. After Feed, how could I not be? Give me the pill, Mira.

GIVE ME THE GODDAMN PILL.

Title: Obsessed

Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

Publisher: Entangled Publishing

Expected Publication: 31 May 2013

He’s arrogant, domineering, and... To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something... unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.
Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life…or is it Hunter?

Jennifer, you beautiful, beautiful human being. Again, I didn't know this book existed in the first place. I only found out about it because the cover was recently released. An Arum novel? Yes, please! Too bad, it's not a series. But it'll be out soon- this month!

What do you think of my books? Heard of them or not?

ETA: I just realized that it wasn't Wednesday when I published this post.

This time zone thing is seriously messing with my mind. My brain can't handle much.

Title: The Fall of Five
Author: Pittacus Lore
Series: Lorien Legacies
Publisher: HarperTeen
Expected Publication: 27 August 2013

After facing off with the Mogadorian ruler and almost being annihilated at the end of The Rise of Nine, the Garde now realize that they are drastically unprepared and hopelessly outgunned. They must master their Legacies and learn to work together as a team, or they won’t stand a chance. The battle may have been lost, but the war for Earth’s survival is far from over.

I love the Lorien Legacies. It's one of the very few sci-fi books I enjoy. It's good we finally get to meet Five, although by the sounds of it, it won't be good for long. Four, Six and Sam and I can't wait. Sarah... Sigh, Sarah, why are you still here though?

Title: The Runaway King
Author: Jennifer A. Nielsen
Series: The Ascendance Trilogy
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Expected Publication: 01 March 2013

Just weeks after Jaron has taken the throne, an assassination attempt forces him into a deadly situation. Rumors of a coming war are winding their way between the castle walls, and Jaron feels the pressure quietly mounting within Carthya. Soon, it becomes clear that deserting the kingdom may be his only hope of saving it. But the further Jaron is forced to run from his identity, the more he wonders if it is possible to go too far. Will he ever be able to return home again? Or will he have to sacrifice his own life in order to save his kingdom?

I loved The False Prince so I'm excited³ for this one. Granted, the cover doesn't look that amazing but seriously the series more than makes up for it.

Title: Antigoddess

Author: Kendare Blake

Series: Antigoddess (1)

Publisher: Tor Teen

Expected Publication: 10 Sep 2013

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

I loved Anna Dressed in Blood and now Kendare has a new book coming out. Yay! I wanna read it, I wanna read it now. Plus, Greek mythology! How can I pass up on something like that?

What are you Waiting on this Wednesday?

This Week I'm Waiting On:

Title: Perfect Scoundrels

Author: Ally Carter

Series: Heist Society (3)

Publisher: Hyperion Books

Expected Publication: 05 February 2013

Katarina Bishop and W.W. Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of lovable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting-or stealing-whatever they want.

No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. So instead of being the heir-this time, Hale might be the mark.

Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy. 

Seriously. I can not stress enough how much I love Ally Carter. Kat and Hale are the cutest thing ever and I swear if they don't end up together I am going to write a very angry, passionate letter. Is that Hale I see in the reflection of her glasses? Nice move, cover designers, nice move. The past two books were awesome and this is going to be the last one, isn't it? I'm gonna cry...
