Title: Transparent

Author: Natalie Whipple

Publication Date: May 21st, 2013

Synopsis:

    Plenty of teenagers feel invisible. Fiona McClean actually is.

    An invisible girl is a priceless weapon. Fiona’s own father has been forcing her to do his dirty work for years—everything from spying on people to stealing cars to breaking into bank vaults.

     After sixteen years, Fiona’s had enough. She and her mother flee to a small town, and for the first time in her life, Fiona feels like a normal life is within reach. But Fiona’s father isn’t giving up that easily.

     Of course, he should know better than anyone: never underestimate an invisible girl.

My Thoughts:

     I don't know why this book looks good to me, it just does. I guess these kinds of books are the most appealing ones to me. The heroine is in a situation that she is nearly impossible to escape, though in the end she'll always escape no matter what.  That's just my kind of book.

Happy Reading,

Alivia :)

Title: Invisibility

Author:  Andrea Cremer and David Levithan

Publication Date: May 7th, 2013

Synopsis:

     Stephen has been invisible for practically his whole life — because of a curse his grandfather, a powerful cursecaster, bestowed on Stephen’s mother before Stephen was born. So when Elizabeth moves to Stephen’s NYC apartment building from Minnesota, no one is more surprised than he is that she can see him. A budding romance ensues, and when Stephen confides in Elizabeth about his predicament, the two of them decide to dive headfirst into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers to figure out a way to break the curse. But things don’t go as planned, especially when Stephen’s grandfather arrives in town, taking his anger out on everyone he sees. In the end, Elizabeth and Stephen must decide how big of a sacrifice they’re willing to make for Stephen to become visible — because the answer could mean the difference between life and death. At least for Elizabeth.

My Thoughts:

     Well, firstly, this book comes out on my older brother's birthday, so there's a plus.  This book just looks intriguing, and I'm really looking forward to reading this book when it comes out.  I can't really say what it'll be like because there was no book prior to this one. So for now...

Happy Reading,

Alivia :)

Title: Gameboard of the Gods

Author: Richelle Mead

Synopsis: 

     In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military’s most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.

     When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.

Why am I anticipating the arrival of this book?

     I've always enjoyed books about mythology and the synopsis sounded really interesting to me.

What are you waiting for?
