Fire bøker jeg gleder meg til:

Jeg har i et par uker nå hatt bokkjøp – stopp, og om jeg kan si det selv, så har jeg vært veldig flink. Dette til tross for at jeg har oppdaget Book Depository! Men det jeg gjør, er i stedet for å trykke på kjøpe – knappen, så trykker jeg på «legg i ønskelisten» – knappen. Det har funket greit så langt, men den lista begynner å bli veeeeeeldig lang – pr i dag består den av 37 bøker!

Fire av bøkene på lista er bøker som ennå ikke har kommet ut, men som jeg gleder meg enormt til å lese (Og nei, jeg har ikke forhåndsbestilt dem, det ville vært juks ;-)).

Om bare 29 dager kommer oppfølgeren til den fantastiske Urban Fantasy – romanen Black Swan Rising av Lee Carroll. Jeg leste den første boka i januar og ble helt betatt av både historien og karakterene. The Watchtower fortsetter der Black Swan Rising sluttet:

Jewellery designer Garet James is struggling to come to terms with who – or what – she really is: a Watchtower, the last in a long line of women sworn to guard our world from evil. And she’s convinced she’s been sent a sign from Will Hughes, the alluring four-hundred-year-old vampire who tasted her blood, saved her life and helped her once before, only to vanish. She believes he’s fled to France in search of the elusive land of the Fey where, he once explained, he might rid himself of his vampire curse. Desperate to understand her legacy and following her heart, Garet follows him. Her quest begins in Paris where encounters with strange, mythic figures – an ancient botanist metamorphosed into the city’s oldest tree, a gnome who dwells under the Labyrinth at the Jardin des Plantes, a dryad in the Luxembourg Gardens – convince her she is on the right path and catching up with Will. But Garet is not the only one trying to find the way in to the Fey’s magic-bound Summer Country. And the answers she finds lead to more questions – and to dangers both mortal and immortal…

Om 3 måneder kommer neste bok, også dette en oppfølger – det er den siste romanen i serien om Patch og Nora; Silence av Becca Fitzpatrick. Jeg likte godt både Hush, hush og Crescendo, og er spent på hvordan forholdet mellom dem utvikler seg. I tillegg sluttet bok to med en skikkelig cliff – hanger!

The noise between Patch and Nora has gone. They’ve overcome the secrets riddled in Patch’s dark past, bridged two irreconcilable worlds and faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust…and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they’ve worked for – and their love – forever.

I mai leste jeg en bok som raskt ble en favoritt; The Replacement av Brenna Yovanoff. Og lykke, lykke, hun kommer med en ny bok 15. november! Dette er også en enkeltstående roman (så vidt jeg har forstått), men jeg gleder meg virkelig til å synke ned i de fantastiske universene forfatteren skaper! Boka heter forøvrig The Space Between.

Everything is made of steel, even the flowers. How can you love anything in a place like this?

Daphne is the half-demon, half-fallen angel daughter of Lucifer and Lilith. Life for her is an endless expanse of time, until her brother Obie is kidnapped – and Daphne realizes she may be partially responsible. Determined to find him, Daphne travels from her home in Pandemonium to the vast streets of Earth, where everything is colder and more terrifying. With the help of the human boy she believes was the last person to see her brother alive, Daphne glimpses into his dreams, discovering clues to Obie’s whereabouts. As she delves deeper into her demonic powers, she must navigate the jealousies and alliances of the violent archangels who stand in her way. But she also discovers, unexpectedly, what it means to love and be human in a world where human is the hardest thing to be.

This second novel by rising star Brenna Yovanoff is a story of identity, discovery, and a troubled love between two people struggling to find their place both in our world and theirs.

Darkness Becomes Her er første bok i Gods & Monsters – serien til Kelly Keaton, den introduserte noe, for meg, helt nytt innenfor YA – sjangeren – gresk mytologi. Nå har jeg skjønt at det er en trend, men det var altså denne boka som fikk meg nysgjerrig på det. Og så var det en riktig god bok også. Neste år (!), nærmere bestemt 21. februar, kommer endelig oppfølgeren; A Beautiful Evil.

A power she can’t deny. A destiny she’s determined to fight. 

When Ari first arrived in the dilapidated city of New 2, all she wanted was to figure out who she was. But what she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. Ari can already sense the evil growing inside her—a power the goddess Athena will stop at nothing to possess. 

Desperate to hold on to her humanity and protect her loved ones, Ari must fight back. But Athena’s playing mind games, not just with Ari but with those she cares about most. And Athena has a very special plan for the brooding and sexy Sebastian. 

Ari is determined to defeat Athena, but time is running out. With no other options, Ari must unleash the very thing she’s afraid of: herself.
