The Orphan Queen
Jodi Meadows

Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Wilhelmina has a hundred identities.

She is a princess. When the Indigo Kingdom conquered her homeland, Wilhelmina and other orphaned children of nobility were taken to Skyvale, the Indigo Kingdom’s capital. Ten years later, they are the Ospreys, experts at stealth and theft. With them, Wilhelmina means to take back her throne.

She is a spy. Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate Skyvale Palace to study their foes. They assume the identities of nobles from a wraith-fallen kingdom, but enemies fill the palace, and Melanie’s behavior grows suspicious. With Osprey missions becoming increasingly dangerous and their leader more unstable, Wil can’t trust anyone.

She is a threat. Wraith is the toxic by-product of magic, and for a century using magic has been forbidden. Still the wraith pours across the continent, reshaping the land and animals into fresh horrors. Soon it will reach the Indigo Kingdom. Wilhelmina’s magic might be the key to stopping the wraith, but if the vigilante Black Knife discovers Wil’s magic, she will vanish like all the others

Jodi Meadows introduces a vivid new fantasy full of intrigue, romance, dangerous magic, and one girl’s battle to reclaim her place in the world.

When Claude leaves for New France in search of a better life, Marguerite decides to follow him and test her suspicions of love.

In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.

In a city of walls and secrets, where only one man is supposed to possess magic, seventeen-year-old Kai struggles to keep hidden her own secret—she can manipulate the threads of time. When Kai was eight, she was found by Reev on the riverbank, and her “brother” has taken care of her ever since. Kai doesn’t know where her ability comes from—or where she came from. All that matters is that she and Reev stay together, and maybe one day move out of the freight container they call home, away from the metal walls of the Labyrinth. Kai’s only friend is Avan, the shopkeeper’s son with the scandalous reputation that both frightens and intrigues her.

Then Reev disappears. When keeping silent and safe means losing him forever, Kai vows to do whatever it takes to find him. She will leave the only home she’s ever known and risk getting caught up in a revolution centuries in the making. But to save Reev, Kai must unravel the threads of her past and face shocking truths about her brother, her friendship with Avan, and her unique power.

This heart-wrenching novel explores what it is like to be thrust into an unwanted marriage. Has Naila’s fate been written in the stars? Or can she still make her own destiny?

Naila’s conservative immigrant parents have always said the same thing: She may choose what to study, how to wear her hair, and what to be when she grows up—but they will choose her husband. Following their cultural tradition, they will plan an arranged marriage for her. And until then, dating—even friendship with a boy—is forbidden. When Naila breaks their rule by falling in love with Saif, her parents are livid. Convinced she has forgotten who she truly is, they travel to Pakistan to visit relatives and explore their roots. But Naila’s vacation turns into a nightmare when she learns that plans have changed—her parents have found her a husband and they want her to marry him, now! Despite her greatest efforts, Naila is aghast to find herself cut off from everything and everyone she once knew. Her only hope of escape is Saif . . . if he can find her before it’s too late.

From the author of Article 5 comes the haunting tale of a girl on the run from the men who hunt her, men who want to auction off breeding rights to the highest bidder.

In a world where females are scarce and are hunted, then bought and sold at market for their breeding rights, 15-year old Aya has learned how to hide. With a ragtag bunch of other women and girls, she has successfully avoided capture and eked out a nomadic but free existence in the mountains. But when Aya’s luck runs out and she’s caught by a group of businessmen on a hunting expedition, fighting to survive takes on a whole new meaning.

A Thousand Pieces of You
Claudia Gray
Expected Publication Date: November 4, 2014
Publisher: Harper Teen
Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository

Every Day meets Cloud Atlas in this heart-racing, space- and time-bending, epic new trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray.

Marguerite Caine’s physicist parents are known for their radical scientific achievements. Their most astonishing invention: the Firebird, which allows users to jump into parallel universes, some vastly altered from our own. But when Marguerite’s father is murdered, the killer—her parent’s handsome and enigmatic assistant Paul—escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him.

Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she races after Paul through different universes, where their lives entangle in increasingly familiar ways. With each encounter she begins to question Paul’s guilt—and her own heart. Soon she discovers the truth behind her father’s death is more sinister than she ever could have imagined.

A Thousand Pieces of You explores a reality where we witness the countless other lives we might lead in an amazingly intricate multiverse, and ask whether, amid infinite possibilities, one love can endure.

Giveaway: Best Series Blog Hop Hosted by Cuddlebuggery


Yay, giveaway!


As you can see, we are participating in Cuddlebuggery's Best Series Blog Hop! I know, very exciting. We each decided to choose one series we really love and leave it up to the winner which series they'd like to try out. These are our picks (click the cover to go to the Goodreads page):

Kiersten's Pick 
The Sweetest Dark - Shana Abé
I won a copy of The Sweetest Dark through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway and it was the most wonderful thing that ever happened EVER. I fell in love with this book and its characters, then again when the second book in the series came out. This series is a great mix of romance, fantasy, action, and history all in one. If you want more about why I love it so much, check out the review I posted along with Marlon and Noor around when this blog was starting up (here). We all loved it and I think you will too!

Noor's Pick 
Partials - Dan Wells
I came across Partials by accident, while playing around on my Nook, and I think it was one of the best accidents to ever happen to me: the paragon of serendipity. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time, and a wonderful beginning to a very unique series. Dan Wells does something so new and different with Partials, that it's unexpectedly refreshing, from the exciting plot to the fantastic characters. If you want a more detailed reason as to why I love the Partials Sequence, I reviewed the first book a few months back (here), so be sure to check that out!

Amrutha's Pick
City of Bones - Cassandra Clare
Last year, my lovely book blog friends pushed me to read The Mortal Instruments. I had seen the books before and read some spoilers that I wrote off as awkward. However, as soon as I opened up the first book and got to know Jace and Clary and Simon and Alec and Isabelle and my favorite, Magnus, I fell in love with the characters and the plot. Cassandra Clare has a way of making me feel so much for the characters while providing an interesting fantasy plot with fabulous twists of romance.


Marlon's Pick
Legend - Marie Lu
Legend is . . .  wait for it (here it comes), Legend (wait for it again) dary. Marie Lu spins a beautiful, rugged dystopian world and who doesn't love a good dystopian novel? A good dystopian novel that doesn't read like some knock-off of the hunger games like so many do. A good dystopian novel that is highly realistic and jeeze, just all of the feels will be had!




Prizes and Rules
One lucky winner will receive a copy, either print or ebook, of their choice from the books listed above. This giveaway is international, so long as Book Depository ships to you or you can receive a gifted ebook. The rules are simple: use the Rafflecoptor honestly in completing the tasks. The giveaway will run through April 6th and the winner will be notified by April 8th. The winner has 48 hours to respond before a new winner is selected. We are not responsible for any packages lost in the mail. May the odds be ever in your favor!
