's Pick:




Title: Hold Me Like A Breath
Author: Tiffany Schmidt
Series: n/a
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: May 19th, 2015

Penelope Landlow has grown up with the knowledge that almost anything can be bought or sold—including body parts. She’s the daughter of one of the three crime families that control the black market for organ transplants.

Penelope’s surrounded by all the suffocating privilege and protection her family can provide, but they can't protect her from the autoimmune disorder that causes her to bruise so easily.

And in her family's line of work no one can be safe forever.

All Penelope has ever wanted is freedom and independence. But when she’s caught in the crossfire as rival families scramble for prominence, she learns that her wishes come with casualties, that betrayal hurts worse than bruises, that love is a risk worth taking . . . and maybe she’s not as fragile as everyone thinks.

I love Tiffany Schmidt. She is super sweet in person and I've read all of her stuff. So I cannot freaking wait to read this one. :) Hurry up May!!!




's Pick:

Title: Daughter of Deep Silence
Author: Carrie Ryan
Series: n/a
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile
Publication Date: June 2, 2015

A delicious tale of revenge and identity from Carrie Ryan, the bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

In the wake of the deadly devastation of luxury yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its story—and two of them are lying. Only Frances Mace, rescued from the ocean after torturous days adrift with her dying friend Libby, knows that the Persephone wasn’t sunk by a rogue wave as survivors Senator Wells and his son are claiming—it was attacked.

To ensure her safety from the obviously dangerous and very powerful Wells family, Libby’s father helps newly orphaned Frances assume Libby’s identity. Frances has spent years in hiding, transforming herself into Libby, and she can no longer allow the people who murdered her entire family and Libby to get away with it. After years of careful plotting, she’s ready to set her revenge plans into motion—even if it means taking down the boy she’d once been in love with: the senator’s son.

The game has just begun, and Frances is not only playing dirty, she's playing to win.

Eeek! I love revenge stories! And I've been a fan of Carrie Ryan's ever since I read the first book in The Forest of Hands and Teeth series. But because of this, I also know to expect this to be a rather devastating read. Ryan knows just how to work your heart into a frenzy.
