Why?:

I haven’t even read the third book in this series yet. And while this book has been pushed back a few times, I am super excited to get it. I’m probably going to just binge both books, and I am very excited to do that. I can’t wait to see how it ends, though I’m a little worried some of it might be bad.
I can’t wait, really. And I love the covers.

Special Mention:
The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi out on April 26, 2016—This actually sounds like an interesting book to me. I’ve been avoiding most paranormal ya lately, but this sounds interesting. I like the idea, and the myths used, and the cover is so pretty.

What’s on your list?
