Wishlist Wednesday (25): A Radiant Sky by Jocelyn Davies

A Radiant Sky
(A Beautiful Dark, #3)
by Jocelyn Davies

Add to Goodreads

Since the night of her seventeenth birthday, Skye has been torn between two opposites: Light and Dark, the Order and the Rebellion, Devin and Asher.
But her decision shocked both sides—because she chose neither.
With the help of her friends, Skye forges her own path, setting out to gather an uprising of Rogues. The treacherous and elusive half-angels may be the key to maintaining the balance of fate and free will. But completing the mission her parents left unfinished is more difficult—and dangerous—than she could have imagined. And doing so comes at a cost: Her greatest love may now be a lethal enemy. Because it’s not just the Order that sees her as a threat who must be eliminated. The Rebellion does, too.
And both sides will do whatever it takes to win.
Dark days lie ahead, and if Skye is to survive, she’ll need to rely on her extraordinary powers and the strength of her will. Because she has a future—and a love—that’s worth fighting for.
The sweeping, darkly romantic story that began with A Beautiful Dark and gathered intensity in A Fractured Light comes to a thrilling conclusion in A Radiant Sky.

Why I'm Wishing...
I'm really curious to see how this trilogy will end. I loved book one, but pretty much hated book two...Ugh, book 2 just pissed me off, but I still would like to know how the series will end. I hate to start a series and not finish it. BTW, I think the covers are all pretty!

Released |February 5th 2013 by Feiwel and Friends|
Edition |Ebook|
Add to Goodreads
Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.
Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.
As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.
OMG! This was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I didn't know how the author would be able to incorporate completely different characters into the series and still keep Cinder involved, but she did it! Cinder was involved throughout the book and I was super excited when she made her first appearance. I thought this was a fantastic sequel to Cinder and I am dying for the release of book 3!

Edition |Ebook|

Add to Goodreads

On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake.
A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood.
She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally forbidden to shine.
An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in chains.
Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.
Despite his addiction to power and obsessive thirst for her blood, Sofia soon realizes that the safest place on the island is within his quarters, and she must do all within her power to win him over if she is to survive even one more night.
Will she succeed? ...or is she destined to the same fate that all other girls have met at the hands of the Novaks?

A Shade of Vampire was a short read involving vampires. I loved the idea where the vampires were secluded on their own island,Blood Shade, away from the rest of the world. The book starts off with the protagonist, Sofia, being kidnapped and taken to Blood Shade to be the slave of the Prince, Derek Novak. I thought that was a pretty awesome and excited start to the book, not to Sofia of course, but to me! It really got me excited what other things would happen within the book.

Isadora’s family is seriously screwed up.
Of course, as the human daughter of Egyptian gods, that pretty much comes with the territory. She’s also stuck with parents who barely notice her, and a house full of relatives who can’t be bothered to remember her name. After all, they are going to be around forever—and she’s a mere mortal.
Isadora’s sick of living a life where she’s only worthy of a passing glance, and when she has the chance to move to San Diego with her brother, she jumps on it. But Isadora’s quickly finding that a “normal” life comes with plenty of its own epic complications—and that there’s no such thing as a clean break when it comes to family. Much as she wants to leave her past behind, she can’t shake the ominous dreams that foretell destruction for her entire family. When it turns out there may be truth in her nightmares, Isadora has to decide whether she can abandon her divine heritage after all.

Why I'm Wishing...
This sounds pretty amazing and I've read one other book by the author and enjoyed it. I'm excited to see what this book is all about and how it turns out!

Add to Goodreads

Dear Reader,
Have you ever wanted to know what it's like to be immortal? To journey through the night stalking the evil that preys on humans? To have unlimited wealth, unlimited power? That is my existence, and it is dark and dangerous. I play hero to thousands, but am known to none. And I love every minute of it.
Or so I thought until one night when I woke up handcuffed to my worst nightmare: a conservative woman in a button-down shirt. Or in Amanda's case, buttoned all the way up to her chin. She's smart, sexy, witty, and wants nothing to do with the paranormal-in other words, me.
My attraction to Amanda Devereaux goes against everything I stand for. Not to mention the last time I fell in love it cost me not only my human life, but also my very soul. Yet every time I look at her, I find myself wanting to try again. Wanting to believe that love and loyalty do exist.
Even more disturbing, I find myself wondering if there's any way a woman like Amanda can love a man whose battle scars run deep, and whose heart was damaged by a betrayal so savage that he's not sure it will ever beat again.
Kyrian of Thrace
 I've been so curious about Kyrian since I started the Chronicles of Nick series, which I read first. He was a complete mystery to me and reading this story really helped me to understand him better. Thought this was a pretty good story in the Dark Hunter series and I'm really excited to read the next installment. Maybe I'll get the audio book like this one.

If Graylee Perez thought sharing a body with her twin sister was bad, dealing with a duplicate of herself is two times worse. Gray the second doesn’t seem to get that Lee’s boyfriend, Raj McKenna, is off limits. Then there’s the problem of Adrian Montez. He expects one of the Grays to be his.
Nearly a year later, the council is onto them for past misdeeds; Lee, along with the rest of the coven, has lost control of her powers; and Gray is being stalked by what looks like the Grim Reaper.
If they work together, they may stand a chance of setting things right and making it out alive.
Duplicity was a pretty good sequel to Entangled. Duplicity was fast paced and had some great action moments. If you love stories with witches, then I definitely recommend this series. I do think I enjoyed book 1 better, but book 2 wasn't far behind :)

Beautiful, Mysterious, Dangerous. High school junior, Grace Waters, calls the new students the très beaux, or lovely ones. After swimming under the stars with these enigmatic teenagers, she becomes enchanted with their curious ways. They are like people in a dream--mesmerizing with powers that only Grace sees.
Soon she finds herself falling in love with gorgeous Laurent and his entrancing songs. As she tries to figure him out, her feelings intensify. But now she has put her life in grave danger and only Laurent can save her.
I really tried my best to finish this book. I really did! I made 52% into the book before I finally couldn't take it anymore and had to put the book down. I've really been trying to finish books I start lately, but I just couldn't with this one. There were too many faults and I honestly can't come up with anything positive to say. I went into the book really excited because I've really been into these kind of stories, but...

At Grave's End & Destined For an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost


At Grave's End
(Night Huntress, #3)
by Jeaniene Frost
Released |January 1st 2009 by Avon|
Edition |Ebook|
Add to Goodreads

It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield’s life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she’s successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat’s worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover’s finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.
As if that wasn’t enough, a woman from Bones’s past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat’s about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she’s learned as a special agent won’t help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself—and Bones—from a fate worse than the grave.
I really enjoyed this installment in the Night Huntress series. But I do think this installment was a tad bit slower than the others. The other books were really fast paced page after page. I am still loving Cat and Bone's relationship, of course, and I was so glad to finally see Vlad :) Since I read Once Burned before reading this series, I already knew who he was and I loved him. That whole demeanor of his... The only thing I really didn't enjoy about this book was Tate. Omg, he was quite annoying and I just couldn't deal. I feel as though he needs to just get over his feelings for Cat because it just ain't happening. It's kind of like a waste of page space. Overall, I enjoyed the book. It still had great action and awesome romance and I can't wait to continue on with the series! :)

Her deadly dreams leave her in grave danger
Since half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her undead lover Bones met six years ago, they've fought against the rogue undead, battled a vengeful Master vampire, and pledged their devotion with a blood bond. Now it's time for a vacation. But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror. She's having visions of a vampire named Gregor who's more powerful than Bones and has ties to her past that even Cat herself didn't know about.
Gregor believes Cat is his and he won't stop until he has her. As the battle begins between the vamp who haunts her nightmares and the one who holds her heart, only Cat can break Gregor's hold over her. She'll need all the power she can summon in order to bring down the baddest bloodsucker she's ever faced . . . even if getting that power will result in an early grave.
Another installment down in the Night Huntress series :) Of course, we are back with the lovely Cat and Bones. I just adore their relationship, but in this book they both pissed me off for awhile. Those two really no how to go at it. Cat with her insecurities and Bones with his nonchalant attitude when he's hiding something. And definitely knows how to keep you guessing. I really enjoyed this installment. There was a lot of different elements and twists happening that kept my mind in a frenzy.

I don't know what it is about these books, but I always devour them about about a day or so! Once again, I enjoyed seeing the rest of the vampire crew around: Vlad, Ian, Spade :) I love those guys! I really liked the whole idea of the Dreamsnatcher. It was amazing to see how it came into play in the story, even though the guy was quite an annoying maniac. The thing I love most is Jeaniene Frost's writing style. It really draws you into the book and the characters and leave you wanting more and more. I can't wait to start the next book in the series!

Elissa used to have it all: looks, popularity, and a bright future. But for the last three years, she’s been struggling with terrifying visions, phantom pains, and mysterious bruises that appear out of nowhere.
Finally, she’s promised a cure: minor surgery to burn out the overactive area of her brain. But on the eve of the procedure, she discovers the shocking truth behind her hallucinations: she’s been seeing the world through another girl’s eyes.
Elissa follows her visions, and finds a battered, broken girl on the run. A girl—Lin—who looks exactly like Elissa, down to the matching bruises. The twin sister she never knew existed.
Now, Elissa and Lin are on the run from a government who will stop at nothing to reclaim Lin and protect the dangerous secrets she could expose—secrets that would shake the very foundation of their world.
Riveting, thought-provoking and utterly compelling, Linked will make you question what it really means to be human.

Why I'm Wishing...
I recently just ran across this book on Goodreads and that the synopsis was pretty interesting. I've enjoyed a few books that involved twins and this one sounds pretty good. I'm curious about it.

As the beast within struggles to break free, he must learn to be what she needs...
Surviving for centuries, powerful lupine shifter Jayce Kazan managed to stay away from humans until he met Kat Saburova and was consumed by the need to protect her. But while Jayce shared his passion with the human seer, he refused to make her his bondmate—a refusal that caused the end of their relationship.
A year later, an attack that left Kat near death has resulted in another lupine shifter turning her. Furious that he wasn’t the one to save her, Jayce is determined to show Kat that he is the one she should rely on. But the newly turned shifter is still traumatized and worried that she’ll hurt those she loves, unless she can learn to control her inner wolf.
And as Jayce struggles to protect Kat from her own worst instincts and convince her to rekindle their love, the extremists who almost killed her are looking to finish the job…

I absolutely freaking adored this installment in the Moon Shifters series! It might just be my favorite in this series. I've always been intrigued by Jayce and Kat's story ever since we were first introduced to their characters and I was so happy when I knew they would be getting their own book. The past between them hasn't always been easy and it seem as if things left off on a bad note. So lets just say things between the two were a bit hostile in the beginning :)

The Essence
(The Pledge, #2)

Released |January 1st 2013 by Margaret K. McElderry|
Edition |Hardcover, 352 pages|
Add to Goodreads

“Danger, dread, mystery, and romance” (Booklist) continue in the second book of The Pledge trilogy, as Charlie’s reign is under siege from the most unusual of enemies.
At the luminous conclusion of The Pledge, Charlaina defeated the tyrant Sabara and took her place as Queen of Ludania. But Charlie knows that Sabara has not disappeared: The evil queen’s Essence is fused to Charlie’s psyche, ready to arise at the first sign of weakness.
Charlie is not weak, but she’s being pushed to the brink. In addition to suppressing the ever-present influence of Sabara, she’s busy being queen—and battling a growing resistance determined to return Ludania to its discriminatory caste system. Charlie wants to be the same girl Max loves, who Brook trusts, but she’s Your Majesty now, and she feels torn in two.
As Charlie journeys to an annual summit to meet with leaders of nearby Queendoms—an event where her ability to understand all languages will be the utmost asset—she is faced with the ultimate betrayal. And the only person she can turn to for help is the evil soul residing within.

The Essence was a strange read. It was interesting and it was also pretty good at the same time, but the content that it was made up of was just weird. The whole thing with Sabara's essence living inside of Charlie confused me at times. In this installment, someone is out to murder Charlie. So on top of Charlie and her people trying to stay alive and find out who the killer is, she's also battling Sabara's essence who is trying to take over and control her body.

Author Spotlight: Julie Kagawa

Julie Kagawa is one of my favorite authors :)
Each book by her that I have read from her, I have thoroughly enjoyed!
The Iron Fey series (probably my fave), the Lost Prince (spin off of the Iron Fey) and The Immortal Rules. All are awesome!

The Iron Fey series is by far my fave by Julie Kagawa. This world with all those wonder fairy folk was just awesome. The Iron King is the first book that involved fairy that I read. And I loved it :) The characters, the world, and the writing style that Julie created knocked my socks off!

Meghan, Ash, Puck, and Grimalkin. Me and Meghan had our fair share of annoyance. We have a bit of a love hate relationship. Love Puck :D He was just hilarious. And Ash! My love forever :)

And then we had the spin off that is all about Meghan's brother and involves her son also! *Jumps up with excitement* I loved the Lost Prince and can't wait for the series to continue on. The twist that this book brought on had me dying to read this book. The fact that Meghan had a CHILD...WTF?! How awesome is that! I don't know how Julie came up with this amazing world, but I just can't get enough of it. I also loved how in this book, we were reunited with all the lovely characters from the first series. But you know what she needs to do? She needs to make a story for Puck! Now I am am So team Ash, but I just adored Puck :) He needs a love!

The Immortal Rules was also an amazing story. It was completely different from the Iron Fey series. It was a dystopian and involved vamps :) Not just vamps, but a world where vamps rule!
I can't can't wait to continue on with that series as well. Any book that Julie Kagawa writes, I will most definitely check it out :)

These are just some awesome things I love about her books! Basically, me rambling.

Passion. Fate. Loyalty.
Would you risk it all to change your destiny?
The last thing Kelsey Hayes thought she’d be doing this summer was trying to break a 300-year-old Indian curse. With a mysterious white tiger named Ren. Halfway around the world. But that’s exactly what happened. Face-to-face with dark forces, spellbinding magic, and mystical worlds where nothing is what it seems, Kelsey risks everything to piece together an ancient prophecy that could break the curse forever.
Tiger’s Curse is the exciting first volume in an epic fantasy-romance that will leave you breathless and yearning for more.
I thought Tiger's Curse was a pretty interesting book. I really loved the whole concept of the story line and history of the people, India, and the curse. But there was some good and some bad things about the story that I liked and didn't like. Instead of reading the book, I listened to the audio book from the library.

A gritty, atmospheric coming of age tale set in 1980s New York City.
Seventeen-year-old Cat is living every teenager’s dream: she has her own apartment on the Lower East Side and at night she’s club kid royalty, guarding the velvet rope at some of the hottest clubs in the city. The night with its crazy, frenetic, high-inducing energy—the pulsing beat of the music, the radiant, joyful people and those seductive white lines that can ease all pain—is when Cat truly lives. But her daytime, when real life occurs, is more nightmare than dream. Having spent years suffering her mother’s emotional and physical abuse, and abandoned by her father, Cat is terrified and alone—unable to connect to anyone or anything. But when someone comes along who makes her want to truly live, she’ll need to summon the courage to confront her demons and take control of a life already spinning dangerously out of control.
Both poignant and raw, White Lines is a gripping tale and the reader won’t want to look away.

During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.
In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.
With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity.

Going into reading The Goddess Inheritance I didn't know whether this was the final book in the series or not. I believe so. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought it was a pretty great ending to an awesome series. I pray there will be a spinoff?! lol
