Waiting on Wednesday- House of Night 11 Revealed by PC and Kristen Cast

Waiting on Wed is hosted by
Breaking the Spine http://breakingthespine.blogspot.in/

Every week I try and show case a book I am looking forward to coming out.

I know I am gonna get slack for this, but I am looking forward to the newest installation of the House of Night Series. I love P.C. Cast (you know the adult romance writer) though her daughter is less my cup of tea. I have enjoyed this series since book 1. I am not gonna say it is perfect and I have a TON of issues with the characters and storyline. However I enjoy myself when I read these. It’s fun, emotional, dramatic young adult drivel that I can’t put down.

The newest one is called Revealed and it comes out October 15th 2013 from St. Martins Griffin.


Drastically altered after her fall at the end of Hidden, Neferet is now more dangerous than ever—and her quest for vengeance will wreak havoc on humans, as well as Zoey and her friends. Chaos is loosed in Tulsa and the House of Night is blamed. Can Zoey stop Neferet in time to keep her anger from escalating to full-on war? Or will someone else have to step in to take the fall?



The House of Night series is an internatio
nal phenomenon, reaching #1 on U.S., German, and UK bestseller lists, and remaining a fixture on The New York Times Children’s Series bestseller list for nearly 150 weeks and counting. With more than 12 million copies in print, rights sold in thirty–eight countries to date, and relatable, addictive characters, this series is unstoppable. Now, in the eleventh and penultimate installment of the series, the action is more intense and the stakes even higher as Zoey and her friends battle to protect their school and home from devastating evil—all while balancing romances, precarious friendships and the daily drama of the House of Night's halls.

Top Ten Tuesday- Best Sequels






I am pretty excited about this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, cause it’s about sequels. Now normally sequels give me pause, you know another ahhhh great sarcasm moment. However I have read some really good ones! Here we go! Oh by the way…this is hosted by http://brokeandbookish.blogspot.com
Search for Dragons By Patricia C Wrede. Her books wind up in my lists a lot, but they are JUST that good. In this one we follow Cimorene as she meets the King of the Enchanted Forest.


Across the Great Barrier another by Patricia C Wrede- In this novel Eff travels west across the magical barrier that protects people from the dangers that lay ahead, both magical and not.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Nuff said




Ghost of a Smile by Simon R Green- just as scary and funny as the first


The Dead Tossed Waves by Carrie Ryan- I am the first to say I am tired of Zombies, and I wasn’t that into them to begin with. I really enjoyed how this kept up the story, but with new characters.

Agents of Light and Darkness- Simon R Green, again, that man can write no wrong. If you like uncanny valley creepy and dark humor please pick up his night side novels.

Game Barry Lyga- this was a super good sequel to I HUNT KILLERS, not as great as the first, but still the characters were intriguing and the plot fairly thrilling.






Girl of Nightmares Kendare Blake- this was also a pretty good sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood, the sucide forest alone was enough to freak me out.


Fool Moon Jim Butcher, while I have lost some of my patience with Harry Dresden as of late, Fool Moon was a great sequel, nothing like urban paranormal fantasy.



Glory in Death J.D. Robb a.k.a Nora Roberts, but the writing style isn’t even close. The sequel put her hooks in me and I have been addicted to Eve Dallas and her world for years. If you want a futureistic crime novel and don’t mind a tiny bit of romance pick up the In Death series.
