Goodreads Summary:
Mara Dyer doesn't think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.

Witch Eyes by Scott Tracey
Paperback: 360 pages
Release date: Sept.8, 2011
Publisher: Flux
Goodreads Summary: Braden was born with witch eyes: the ability to see the world as it truly is: a blinding explosion of memories, darkness, and magic. The power enables Braden to see through spells and lies, but at the cost of horrible pain.
After a terrifying vision reveals imminent danger for the uncle who raised and instructed him, Braden retreats to Belle Dam, an old city divided by two feuding witch dynasties. As rival family heads Catherine Lansing and Jason Thorpe desperately try to use Braden's powers to unlock Belle Dam's secrets, Braden vows never to become their sacrificial pawn. But everything changes when Braden learns that Jason is his father--and Trey, the enigmatic guy he's falling for, is Catherine's son.
To stop an insidious dark magic from consuming the town, Braden must master his gift—and risk losing the one he loves.

Hmm, maybe it's time to read the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. I do have both of those titles already. They look so good. Come check out my OMW over at Livre De Amour.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover to Witch Eyes and I actually have both of these books on my to be read list as well. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBoth these covers are very gripping. YA covers are sometimes works of art! Oh! I love that you have a movie countdown for Hunger Games.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! Both of these are also on my amazon wish list :) Love the covers as well!
