I can honestly say that Cas is one of my favorite male protagonists. He's hilarious. He's believable. He kicks major ass. The minute GIRL OF NIGHTMARES was released I couldn't wait to purchase it. I knew that it was going to be just as amazing as the first book. And let me tell you, it's not only as good, it's twice as freaky and twice as freaking awesome. The first chapter captured my attention instantly, sucking me right back into the story the way a sequel should. I'm not even done with this book and I can tell you that it's gonna be my new favorite.
The next book on my list is:
I realize I'm a little behind on this one, but don't judge me! POSSESS by Gretchen McNeil has received a lot of praise and I've been meaning to read this book for months. It takes a lot to scare me as far as books go (movies are entirely different), and I'm really hoping this one gives me the chills like everyone says it will. Not that I'm judging this book solely on that, because I'm sure I'm going to love it!
I also have my eyes set on:
Isn't this cover hauntingly beautiful? I was lucky enough to come across THE UNQUIET by Jeannine Garsee on Goodreads, and immediately after reading the premise I added it to my TBR list. The idea that she's a bipolar MC was intriguing to me. I've heard great things about how Jeannine really captures the illness along with throwing the MC into supernatural territory. Those two things mixed together give me all sorts of ideas about what could happen in this book and I'm so anxious to find out!
These are the books I've got lined up for the next few weeks. What's on YOUR reading list?
I've got to get Girl of Nightmares. I haven't read Anna Dressed In Blood yet, but my oldest daughter has and she LOVED it. I'm a little behind on my reading. As soon as I finish revisions, I have Code Name Verity, Seraphina, and Spark to read.
ReplyDeleteCode Name Verity is one of THE BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. And I read at least 20 books a month. So. Yes--read that one first ;)
DeleteOh my gosh! You MUST read ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD. You will absolutely love it. Great characters. Great everything.
DeleteI love POSSESS! Bridget is such a smartass--I wish I could write a character like that. I've never heard of The Unquiet but that cover is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteRight now I've got Blood Keeper and Falling Kingdoms on my bedside waiting for me to finish Insignia! :)
I always love a good smartass. haha Can't wait! I haven't heard those titles before. I'll have to check them out!
DeleteGorgeous covers! I'm a contemp girl and I just went on a major book-buying binge yesterday, so I can tell you exactly what's on tap for me this summer: THIS IS NOT A TEST by Courtney Summers, LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI by Melina Marchetta, BITTER END by Jennifer Brown, THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY by Jenny Han, and WHERE SHE WENT by Gayle Forman. Plus I'm in the middle of an adult novel, for once - CALEB'S CROSSING by Geraldine Brooks. Just finished STATE OF WONDER by Ann Patchett, too, which was absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your purchases. I went super crazy on Amazon with I had 100 worth of gift certificates. Books galore!!
DeleteGlad to hear Girl of Nightmares does not disappoint. I loved the first one!
ReplyDeleteI can't WAIT to read Girl of Nightmares.
ReplyDeleteMy husband wants to read it with me, so I'm IMPATIENTLY waiting for him to finish.
Working on Imaginary Girls.
Possess and the Unquiet are high on my list, so I'm excited to see what you think of them...
