White Hot Kiss 

Jennifer L. Armentrout 

February 25 2014 

Goodreads 

One kiss could be the last. 

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. 

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world. 

Why am I waiting for it?

 Armentrout has never dissapointed me and I'm quite excited with the whole gargoyle theme, BUT...It's a girl crushing on a 'teacher' figure again. It's a girl crushing on a super bad boy again. I don't know how she'll spin this, but hopefully it'll be a different dynamic than what she's done with Alex/Aiden and Katy/Daemon. Also, side rant, what's with the cover. I demand a new one.

Kinslayer
(The Lotus War 2)
by Jay Kristoff

~The girl all Guildsmen fear~

“Run back to your masters. Tell them what you saw here. And you tell them the next time they send a sky-ship near the Ishi Mountains, I'm going to carve my father's name into her captain's chest before I paint the sky with his insides. Do you understand me?"
Jubei nodded. "I do..."

She pressed on his neck, her blade sinking a little farther in. Jubei gasped, not daring to move, blood welling and running down his throat. For an awful, terrifying moment, he could see it in her face' the desier to simply open him up, ear to ear, to bathe in the spray of his carotid and jugular, lathering the bloody froth from his windpipe on her hands. Her lips peeled back from her teeth, blade twitching in his flesh, looking over him like a terror from some children's story, some nightmare sprung inexplicably to life.

The girl all Guildsmen fear.

"Please," he whispered. "Please..."

All That Glows

Emrys—a fiery, red-headed Fae—always embraced her life in the Highlands, far from the city’s draining technology, until she’s sent to London to rejoin the Faery Guard. But this isn’t any normal assignment—she’s sent to guard Prince Richard: Britain’s notorious, partying bad boy and soon-to-be King. The prince’s careless ways and royal blood make him the irresistible for the dark spirits that feed on mortals. Sweet, disheveled, and alive with adventure—Richard is one charge who will put Emrys’s magic and heart to the test.

When an ancient force begins preying on the monarchy, Emrys must hunt through the London’s magical underworld, facing down Banshees, Black Dogs and Green Women to find the one who threatens Richard’s life. In this chaos of dark magic, palace murders and paparazzi, Emrys finds herself facing an impossible choice. For despite all her powers, Emrys has discovered a force that burns brighter than magic: love. 

Why am I waiting for it?

Faeries and Myths in London, plus the monarchy and epic love. Yes, please.

Cress

(Lunar Chronicles 3) 

Marissa Meyer

February 4 2014  

Goodreads 

In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army. 

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can. 

Why am I waiting for it?

 I've been following the Lunar Chronicles since Cinder and I am SO EXCITED to finally read Cress's (aka Rapunzel) story!
