Synopsis Saturday

Happy Saturday, all! I can't believe another week has gone by. I have been out of work this week with a terrible cold: coughing, stuffy nose, headache, body aches and fever. It's been icky, but I have been able to read, of course! So, here's what's been on my plate!

I got this one as soon as it was released. Started and finished in 24 hours. It was AMAZING!

Title: Through the Ever Night (Under the Never Sky #2)

Author: Veroncia Rossi

Publication Date: January 8, 2012

Publisher: HarperCollins

It's been months since Aria last saw Perry. Months since Perry was named Blood Lord of the Tides, and Aria was charged with an impossible mission. Now, finally, they are about to be reunited. But their reunion is far from perfect. The Tides don't take kindly to Aria, a former Dweller. And with the worsening Aether storms threatening the tribe's precarious existence, Aria begins to fear that leaving Perry behind might be the only way to save them both.
Threatened by false friends, hidden enemies, and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night?
In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and dystopian elements to create a captivating love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

I received this book as an ARC from a Spencer hill Press contest I won. I was so excited to get it! Review will be posted tomorrow.

Title: Touch of Death (Touch of Death #1)

Author: Kelly Hashway

Publication Date: January 15, 2013

Publisher: Spencer Hill Press

Jodi Marshall isn’t sure how she went from normal teenager to walking disaster. One minute she’s in her junior year of high school, spending time with her amazing boyfriend and her best friend. The next she’s being stalked by some guy no one seems to know.
After the stranger, Alex, reveals himself, Jodi learns he’s not a normal teenager and neither is she. With a kiss that kills and a touch that brings the dead back to life, Jodi discovers she’s part of a branch of necromancers born under the 13th sign of the zodiac, Ophiuchus. A branch of necromancers that are descendents of Medusa. A branch of necromancers with poisoned blood writhing in their veins.
Jodi’s deadly to the living and even more deadly to the deceased. She has to leave her old, normal life behind before she hurts the people she loves. As if that isn’t difficult enough, Jodi discovers she’s the chosen one who has to save the rest of her kind from perishing at the hands of Hades. If she can’t figure out how to control her power, history will repeat itself, and her race will become extinct

I won this beauty through Zach's YA Reviews and I was super duper excited (since I kept entering all kinds of contests to get my hands on a copy). It was totally and completely AMAZING. So, when it's out, GO GET IT!

LOVE

In this second book in the Incarnate trilogy, Ana discovers the truth about reincarnation and will have to find a way to embrace love and make her young life meaningful. Once again, Jodi Meadows explores the extraordinary beauty and shadowed depths of the soul in a story equal parts epic romance and captivating fantasy

I received a copy of this through Net Galley for review. I read the first one last year and it was pretty good, although a bit odd. So far this one is proving to also be a little weird. I should be done with it by the end of the weekend, I hope!

Title: Quicksilver (Ultraviolet #2)

Author: R.J. Anderson

Expected Publication Date: May 2, 2013

Publisher: Orchard Books

Back in her hometown, Tori Beaugrand had everything a teenaged girl could want—popularity, money, beauty. But she also had a secret. A secret that could change her life in an instant, or destroy it.
Now she’s left everything from her old life behind, including her real name and Alison, the one friend who truly understood her. She can’t escape who and what she is. But if she wants to have anything like a normal life, she has to blend in and hide her unusual... talents.
Plans change when the enigmatic Sebastian Faraday reappears and gives Tori some bad news: she hasn’t escaped her past. In fact, she’s attracted new interest in the form of an obsessed ex-cop turned investigator for a genetics lab.
She has one last shot at getting her enemies off her trail and winning the security and independence she’s always longed for. But saving herself will take every ounce of Tori’s incredible electronics and engineering skills—and even then, she may need to sacrifice more than she could possibly imagine if she wants to be free.

Finally, today I read this. It was a very short story from Julie Cross' Tempest, uncensored material for those 16 or older. It was only 18 pages, but now I can't wait to read Vortex!!!!

That's about it for this week. I was hoping to get a few novellas read, but it didn't happen with my being sick and all.
