Rosie Really Wants To Read:
Crash by Lisa McMann
Expected Publication: January 8 2013 by Simon Pulse
If what you see is what you get, Jules is in serious trouble. The suspenseful first of four books from the New York Times bestselling author of the Wake trilogy.
Jules lives with her family above their restaurant, which means she smells like pizza most of the time and drives their double-meatball-shaped food truck to school. It’s not a recipe for popularity, but she can handle that.
What she can’t handle is the vision. Over and over, Jules sees a careening truck hit a building and explode... and nine body bags in the snow.
She has no idea why this is happening to her or if she’s going crazy. It hardly matters, because the visions are everywhere--on billboards, television screens, windows--and she’s the only one who can see them.
But it’s not until the vision starts coming more frequently, and revealing more clues, that Jules knows what she has to do. Because now she can see the face in one of the body bags, and it's someone she knows. Someone she’s been in love with for as long as she can remember.
In this riveting start to a gripping series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann, Jules has to act—and act fast—to keep her vision from becoming reality. --GoodReads

Mystic City (Mystic City #1) by Theo Lawrence
Expected Publication: October 9th 2012 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers
For fans of Matched, The Hunger Games, X-Men, and Blade Runner comes a tale of a magical city divided, a political rebellion ignited, and a love that was meant to last forever. Book One of the Mystic City Novels.
Aria Rose, youngest scion of one of Mystic City's two ruling rival families, finds herself betrothed to Thomas Foster, the son of her parents' sworn enemies. The union of the two will end the generations-long political feud—and unite all those living in the Aeries, the privileged upper reaches of the city, against the banished mystics who dwell below in the Depths. But Aria doesn't remember falling in love with Thomas; in fact, she wakes one day with huge gaps in her memory. And she can't conceive why her parents would have agreed to unite with the Fosters in the first place. Only when Aria meets Hunter, a gorgeous rebel mystic from the Depths, does she start to have glimmers of recollection—and to understand that he holds the key to unlocking her past. The choices she makes can save or doom the city—including herself. --GoodReads

Witch World by Christopher Pike
Release Date: November 13th, 2012
Heading off for a weekend in Las Vegas with her friends, Jessie Ralle has only one worry—how to make it through the road trip in the same car with her Ex, Jimmy Kelter. The guy who broke her heart five months ago when he dumped her for no reason. The guy who’s finally ready to tell her why he did it, because he wants her back.
But what Jessie doesn’t realize is that Jimmy is the least of her problems.
In Las Vegas she meets Russ, a mesmerizing stranger who shows her how to gamble, and who never seems to lose. Curious, Jessie wants to know his secret, and in response, alone in his hotel room, he teaches her a game that opens a door to another reality.
To Witch World.
Suddenly Jessie discovers that she’s stumbled into a world where some people can do the impossible, and others may not even be human. For a time she fears she’s lost her mind. Are there really witches? Is she one of them?

Oh man I love the cover for Crash!! I've never read any of Lisa McMann's books, but they're pretty popular. This one sounds crazy! I wonder how it's going to be a 4 book series. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to check out my WoW here.
Who doesn't love perfect eyebrows? I know we're all dying to have her flawless facial hair! My favorite part about Crash's cover, (other than the eyebrows) is the fire in the woman's eyes. It just looks so exciting! Hope you enjoy the read!

I haven't heard of the top or bottom ones, but I did get an eARC of Mystic City for Edelweiss to review ages ago. It was pretty good! Not spectacular, but an enjoyable read. Maybe you'll like it better than I did!

Love McMann's Wake series!! And the cover for Crash is gorgeous! Mystic City was awesome - I highly recommend it! It has a little bit of everything - mystery, suspense, magic, political intrigue, forbidden romances! I've never heard of Witch World, but it sounds really interesting!
