New Releases: Week of November 7, 2017

The Becoming of Noah Shaw (The Shaw Confessions #1)
Author: Michelle Hodkin
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Publication Date: November 7, 2017

In the first book of the Shaw Confessions, the companion series to the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer novels, old skeletons are laid bare and new promises prove deadly. This is what happens after happily ever after.

Everyone thinks seventeen-year-old Noah Shaw has the world on a string.

They’re wrong.

Mara Dyer is the only one he trusts with his secrets and his future.

He shouldn’t.

And both are scared that uncovering the truth about themselves will force them apart.

They’re right.

Renegades (Renegades #1)
Author: Marissa Meyer
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
Publication Date: November 7, 2017

Secret Identities. Extraordinary Powers. She wants vengeance. He wants justice.

The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies—humans with extraordinary abilities—who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone...except the villains they once overthrew.

Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice—and in Nova. But Nova's allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both.



Haven 
Author: Mary Lindsey
Publisher: Entangled
Publication Date: November 7, 2017

"We all hold a beast inside. The only difference is what form it takes when freed."

Rain Ryland has never belonged anywhere, He’s used to people judging him for his rough background, his intimidating size, and now, his orphan status. He’s always been on the outside, looking in, and he’s fine with that. Until he moves to New Wurzburg and meets Friederike Burkhart.

Freddie isn’t like normal teen girls, though. And someone wants her dead for it. Freddie warns he’d better stay far away if he wants to stay alive, but Rain’s never been good at running from trouble. For the first time, Rain has something worth fighting for, worth living for. Worth dying for.

Waiting On Wednesday [#94]

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

Fragile Spirits (Souls #2) 
Author: Mary Lindsey
Expected Publication: January 23, 2014

Paul has always known he was a Protector, fated to serve a Speaker who could hear the voices of spirits lingering after death and help those souls find peace.

Vivienne ignores the voices of the dead.

Paul has always followed the Protector’s rule book, preparing diligently for the day when he’d be matched with his Speaker and fulfill his destiny.

Vivienne never does what she’s told.

So when Paul is matched with Vivienne, they both find the pairing less than satisfactory. But a kidnapping, a malevolent spirit and power stronger than both of them may just prove that they are two halves of the same whole.

In a stunning story about the beauty of fate and the power of secrets, Mary Lindsey returns to the world of Shattered Souls with a breathtaking thrill-ride of a novel.


I loved Shattered Souls so freaking much!!!! It was so goooooood!!!!! I am absolutely dying to get my hands on its sequel!!! And I really love this cover!!!! I just love the colors and how the pink really pops out!!! AHHHHH!!! Why does January have to be so far away?!?!?!

Review: Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey

Shattered Souls (Souls #1)
Author: Mary Lindsey
Publisher: Philomel/Penguin
Publication Date: December 8, 2011
Pages: 336
Source: Hardcover/Library

A thrilling debut story of death, love, destiny and danger
Lenzi hears voices and has visions - gravestones, floods, a boy with steel gray eyes. Her boyfriend, Zak, can't help, and everything keeps getting louder and more intense. Then Lenzi meets Alden, the boy from her dreams, who reveals that she's a reincarnated Speaker - someone who can talk to and help lost souls - and that he has been her Protector for centuries. 

Now Lenzi must choose between her life with Zak and the life she is destined to lead with Alden. But time is running out: a malevolent spirit is out to destroy Lenzi, and he will kill her if she doesn't make a decision soon.

Review: This book was fantastic! I'll be honest, this book wasn't even on my TBR list at the time I picked it up. The only reason I picked it up when I saw it at the library was because I thought that maybe I'd get around to it before I had to return it. I cant believe I second guessed reading this book! It was freaking amazing! Ok, so a few things in this book reminded me of Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton. Like how Lenzi/Rose took longer than normal to come back and how when she did she couldnt remember any of her previous lives, just as Ellie did in Angelfire. And how she had a Protector also. But besides the similarities I still loved the book. I loved how Lenzie was a Speaker to the Hindered and Alden helped her help them move on. I always love a story where people are able to help spirits move on. I love knowing spirits are at peace (even if it's just in a book).

I kind of felt bad for Lenzi at the beginning. She was being like haunted by all these Hindered spirits and she didn't know how to deal with it. She thought she was gonna end up like her crazy dad. I cant imagine how she must have felt thinking that. And then when Alden appeared in her life telling her she's not crazy but then telling her she's supposed to help the Hindered move on. I cant imagine what was worse at that moment. Thinking she's crazy like her dad or being told your a reincarnated soul sent to help Hindered spirits move on. I liked how she tried to stay open to it even though she was extremely skeptical at first. She was at least willing to try helping one time to see if it was really true and after finding out it was becoming more open to it. She matured a lot with her role as being a Speaker and I enjoyed seeing her growth. Even when times got really tough she believed in herself as a Speaker! And I really enjoyed watching Alden and Lenzi's relationship grow over time. And I'm so glad when Alden was in trouble at the end Lenzi came through for him. He deserved to live even if what he did with Zak was against the rules. Zak... He was extremely annoying. I mean he seemed ok at the beginning but as the story went on he became annoying like no tomorrow. I mean Lenzi even tried to break up with him and he wouldn't listen. It her life, not yours, you cant force her to talk to you or force her to give you a chance when she's already made up her mind about who she wants to be with. I'm glad Alden jumped in and saved Lenzi before Zak got them both killed! I would have hated to read the story and it end up with Lenzi dead. That would have pissed me off. But I loved the ending that actually did happen so its fine. Lol.

5 Stars!

So I found these at my local Indie bookstore and I only planned on getting one copy (Witch & Wizard) but then I found an ARC of it and we all know ARCs shouldn't be traded into stores so I picked it up too.
