Pre-Order: Amazon | Book Depository
Tana lives in a world
where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined
monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and
prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you
can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.

The title, yes the title. That's what caught my attention in this book and reading it synopsis is far more catching that I though it is!

Gerald Faust knows exactly when he started feeling angry: the day his mother invited a reality television crew into his five-year-old life. Twelve years later, he’s still haunted by his rage-filled youth—which the entire world got to watch from every imaginable angle—and his anger issues have resulted in violent outbursts, zero friends, and clueless adults dumping him in the special education room at school.
Nothing is ever going to change. No one cares that he’s tried to learn to control himself, and the girl he likes has no idea who he really is. Everyone’s just waiting for him to snap…and he’s starting to feel dangerously close to doing just that.
In this fearless portrayal of a boy on the edge, highly acclaimed Printz Honor author A.S. King explores the desperate reality of a former child “star” who finally breaks free of his anger by creating possibilities he never knew he deserved.
A YA Contemporary book that deals with a boy who has anger management.
A very intriguing story to read.
Awaken(Abandon Trilogy #3) by Meg Cabot
Release date: July 2nd, 2013
Publisher:Point
Pre-Order: Amazon | Book Depository
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, the dark reimagining of the Persephone myth comes to a thrilling conclusion.
Death has her in his clutches. She doesn’t want him to let go.
Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera knew by accepting the love of John Hayden, she’d be forced to live forever in the one place she’s always dreaded most: the Underworld. The sacrifice seemed worth it, though, because it meant she could be with the boy she loves.
But now her happiness — and safety — are threatened, all because the Furies have discovered that John has broken one of their strictest rules: He revived a human soul.
If the balance between life and death isn’t fixed, both the Underworld and Pierce’s home back on earth will be wiped away. But there’s only one way to restore order. Someone has to die.

I haven't heard of this series, I think. But this sounds awesome. Have to catch up on it, thanks a lot for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW, and I'm celebrating my bloggoversary with a giveaway, so come check it out!
I was JUST looking at the Coldest Girl in Cold Town in Edelweiss. I agree - that title!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to start the first of the Abandon books. Once I do (and get through the second) I'm sure I'll be waiting on #3 too!
ReplyDeleteThe Coldest Girl in Coldtown sounds good, too. I haven't read Holly Black before.
WoW @ Rather Be Reading YA
I'm not the hugest fan of Holly Black, but that book does sound pretty creepily awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Bookmunchies (:
Reality Boy sounds really unique. I haven't read a summary like that boy, so it's really intriguing! Plus, I like the busyness and colorfulness of the cover! Great picks!

*I haven't read a summary like that BEFORE...
DeleteTypos suck... lol!
I really am not a fan of Holly Black. But reading the summary of her new book made me curious. It looks so interesting and the cover is really catchy. Definitely adding it now on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteI agree with others who said that The Coldest Girl in Coldtown sounds good. I don't usually read much paranormal books though, so I think I'll wait to decide until more reviews come it.
