This novel, Fallen In Love, is part of the Fallen series by Lauren Kate. It originally wasn't going to be part of the series but until recent announcements, by the author herself, it is now. Okay, so Fallen In Love has love stories on the side characters like Shelby, Miles, Arriane, Roland, and YES! Luce & Daniel on their ONLY Valentine's Day. How sad is that? It includes an except on Rapture (squeals!) and it comes out January 24th, 2012! I cannot wait for this book!! It's a book in-between Passion and Rapture so the order is Fallen, Torment, Passion, Fallen In Love, and Rapture.
Summary:
What makes your heart race a little faster? Just in time for Valentine's Day, it's FALLEN IN LOVE, four wholly original new stories collected in a new novel set in the Middle Ages by Lauren Kate.

AHHHH!! Rapture, the FINAL book of Fallen series by Lauren Kate. Lauren let me down in Passion, she really did, but I'm hoping that Rapture makes up for it. I read the Prologue and the 1st Chapter and I got all tingling! I just can't for the battle between Fallen Angels VS Lucifer! :D
Summary:
The sky is dark with wings. . . .
In RAPTURE, the highly anticipated fourth and final novel in the FALLEN series, Luce and Daniel are together . . . but for how long? Can history be rewritten? Or are some punishments eternal?

The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead. Richelle left me gaped-mouthed when I finished Bloodlines! I couldn't believe HE showed up again. I never thought HE would show up like that. Poor Adrian. I'm trying to keep spoilers out so yeah. The Golden Lily is 2nd book in the 'Bloodlines' series. It's a spin-off series of the Vampire Academy series and it comes out June 19th, 2012. I love Sydney because I can relate to her 100% of the time. I think I love her more than Rose but my love is truest to Adrian .....*shakes head* ummm back to the book. I love the cover and I'm just giddy for it to come out already!
Summary:
The second thrilling installment in Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy spinoff series.
Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students—children of the wealthy and powerful—carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead’s breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher.

For all of you going "That's the cover?" ..It's not. This book is the last book in the Matched series by Ally Condie. It's said to come out in Fall 2012 and the cover is said to be out ..I don't know when. I read Matched and it was breathtaking. I loved it and I still have to get my hands on Crossed, the 2nd book in the Matched Trilogy, but I haven't. :( Yet ...... :D
Summary:
Doesn't have one.

Diva! Diva by Jillian Larkin! Diva is the 3rd book in The Flappers series. I love the covers. So intriguing and I love that it's set in 1920's. It's something out of my usual reading. I'm not even sure what to say ...it's just "wow" and the good kind too! It's coming out July 10th, 2012!
Summary:
Parties, bad boys, speakeasies—life in Manhattan has become a woozy blur for Clara Knowles. If Marcus Eastman truly loved her, how could he have fallen for another girl so quickly? Their romance mustn't have been as magical as Clara thought. And if she has to be unhappy, she's going to drag everyone else down to the depths of despair right along with her.
Being a Barnard girl is the stuff of Lorraine Dyer's dreams. Finding out that Marcus is marrying a gold digger who may or may not be named Anastasia? A nightmare. The old Lorraine would have sat by and let the chips fall where they may, but she's grown up a lot these past few months. She can't bear to see Marcus lose a chance for true love. But will anyone listen to her?
Now that the charges against her have been dropped, Gloria Carmody is spending the last dizzying days of summer on Long Island, yachting on the sound and palling around with socialites at Forrest Hamilton's swanky villa. Beneath her smile, though, Gloria's keeping a secret. One that could have deadly consequences . . .

Sadly there isn't a cover for this upcoming Author's novel ... Venom by Fiona Paul. I'm glad I get to start a debut's author journey with them. Venom is the first in the Dark Waters series. It's said to come out in 2012. October 20th, 2012 to be exact. :)
Summary:

Yet ever since her parents’ death, Cassandra has felt trapped, alone in a city of water, where the dark and labyrinthine canals whisper of escape.
But when Cass stumbles upon a murdered woman—practically in her own backyard—she’s drawn into a dangerous world of secret societies, courtesans, and killers. Soon, she finds herself falling for Falco, a mysterious artist with a mischievous grin. . .and a spectacular skill for trouble. Can Cassandra find the murderer, before he finds her? And will she stay true to her fiancé, or succumb to her uncontrollable feelings for Falco?

Fated by Alyson Noel. The first in her new series ... Soul Seekers. I'm really excited for this book! I love Alyson's writing. I liked her 'the immortals' series and 'Riley Bloom' series. I feel in love with both protagonists and I might be crazy but doesn't the girl from the cover look like Selena Gomez? There was some debate wether she was or not. :) It's out May 22nd, 2012! :D Yay!
Summary:
Lately strange things have been happening to Daire Santos. Animals follow her, crows mock her, and glowing people appear out of nowhere. Worried that Daire is having a nervous breakdown, her mother packs her off to stay in the dusty plains of Enchantment, New Mexico with a grandmother she’s never met.
There she crosses paths with Dace, a gorgeous guy with unearthly blue eyes who she’s encountered before...but only in her dreams. And she’ll get to know her grandmother—a woman who recognizes Daire’s bizarre episodes for what they are. A call to her true destiny as a Soul Seeker, one who can navigate between the worlds of the living and the dead. Her grandmother immediately begins teaching her to harness her powers—but it’s an art that must be mastered quickly. Because Dace’s brother is an evil shape-shifter who’s out to steal her powers. Now Daire must embrace her fate as a Soul Seeker and find out if Dace is one guy she’s meant to be with...or if he’s allied with the enemy she’s destined to destroy.
Look at Luce! She is so beautiful! She has that longing look on her face. Beautiful background. My full praise to Fernanda Brussi, the artist in the Fallen series covers. :)
