I Can't Wait For... THE UNLEASHED


Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released.

I didn't realize there was going to be a sequel to The Haunted until Monday when I was looking it up for a Top Ten Tuesday post and saw it had a sequel coming out this summer. Squeee... I can't wait!!!

The Unleashed
The Haunted, Book 2
by Danielle Vega
Horror, YA
eBook, Hardcover, 272 Pages
July 7, 2020 by Razorbill


Blurb
In the terrifying sequel to The Haunted, Hendricks discovers that even though Steele House is gone, the hauntings in Drearfield are far from over — and it’s up to her to stop them.

Following the devastating blaze at Steele House, Hendricks and her friends are trying to return to normal. Prom is coming up and the school is in full preparation mode. Hendricks tries to pitch in, to mimic Portia’s enthusiasm, but the events of the last few months still haunt her. Steele House. Raven. Eddie.

Hendricks believes Eddie is still out there. She just has to find a way to reach him. Together with her friends, she forms a circle of seven and attempts to summon his spirit. Suddenly things start happening again. Flickering lights in the school library. Mysterious girls roaming the halls. The same song playing on a loop wherever she goes.

It all culminates in a violent attack and Hendricks realizes what they summoned may not be Eddie at all. The one thing she does know is that Steele House was only the beginning. And whatever they’ve unleashed is more dangerous than anything they’ve ever seen before.



What do you think? Will you be checking this one out? Have you read the first book?

Get ready to meet Jase, Kieran, Zade, and Issik, the last dragon descendants.

Olivia Campbell’s life gets turned upside down when her mother suddenly passes away. Left with only a stepdad who despises her, she turns to the streets. Penniless and alone in the Chicago winter, how much worse can it get?

She is about to find out.

A chance encounter with a stranger who has the most breathtaking violet eyes changes her world. Just a warm smile and a quick flash of dimples is all that it takes to capture her interest in Jase Dior. Olivia wonders if her luck has finally returned.
She soon finds out that Jase collects things—pretty girls to be precise. A glimpse of her sultry honey hair in an alley excites him. He must have her. And he isn’t taking no for an answer.

Jase sweeps Olivia off the streets to the Veil Isles—a mystical and hidden land uncharted by any mortal and ruled by the only dragon coven left in the world.

And a reverse-harem fantasy romance that could change the fate of a dying race.

Excerpt:
Zade moved so he stood just slightly in front of me as if protecting me. Odd. Did I need protection from Jase? “Just making sure our little gem doesn’t get herself in trouble.” Zade cocked his head to the side. “Isn’t that what we agreed on?”

The tranquility-breathing dragon stood inside the arched doorway, glaring at Zade with a mean scowl—his eyes so dark they almost appeared black. “Yes, but that doesn’t include you seducing her.”

“Since when do you meddle in my extracurricular activities?” Zade challenged him, with an edge to his voice.

It was my turn to frown. I was no one’s extracurricular activity.

A growl rose up in Jase’s throat. He stormed to where Zade and I where awkwardly standing. “She’s off limits.”

Golden God’s lips formed into a tight line. “You forget, Jase, you’re not king. There is no single ruler of the Veil anymore.”

Things had escalated quickly, and I didn’t want these two going into the dragon ring over me. “Hey!” I yelled, stepping between the two. Not the brightest of ideas, but at the moment, it was all I could think to do. I didn’t want blood spilled over me.

A muscle began to thump in Jase’s jaw. “Keep your lips off her.”

Spreading my arms out wide between them, my hands flattened on their chests. “Okay. First off, I can kiss whomever I want.”

Jase’s glower deepened.

I rolled my eyes. This was ridiculous. Framing Jase’s face with both of my hands, I rose up on my toes and planted one on him, just to prove a point. The joke was on me.

The moment our lips met, all annoyance vanished from within me. My eyes fluttered closed as I fell into the blissful storm that was all Jase. His lips were soft… and skilled, expertly moving over mine. His hands came up to cup either side of my cheeks, and he deepened what was supposed to be a peck. My mouth opened, letting him in, and a purr sounded at the back of my throat as his tongue swept inside.

I’d never been kissed like this before—so passionately and fervently. My fingers bunched his shirt, holding him in place just in case he got any ideas about pulling away. I wasn’t done yet. Honestly, I never wanted to stop kissing Jase Dior.

Zade cleared his throat behind us. How had I forgotten about him? Jase pulled back, his breath as ragged as mine.

I glanced up into his eyes, seeing the violet in them glowing brightly. “There. Are you satisfied?” I rasped, swallowing a knot of yearning. No more kissing dragons.

“Not nearly.” Jase’s head dipped as if he was going to take possession of my lips again.

My hand pressed against his chest, keeping him just out of reach. “Oh, no. I think I’ve kissed enough dragons today.” I could barely believe I had locked lips with two of them within minutes of each other.

What is wrong with me?

Cover Reveal: Kiss of the Royal by Lindsey Duga

Today I'm helping Entangled Teen and Lindsey Duga reveal the absolutely gorgeous cover of her upcoming book, KISS OF THE ROYAL!



Let us know what you think of the cover for Kiss of the Royal by Lindsey Duga, which releases July 3, 2018!

This cover reveal is brought to you by Entangled Teen.


About Kiss of the Royal:
In the war against the Forces of Darkness, the Royals are losing. Princess Ivy is determined to end this centuries-long conflict once and for all, so her new battle partner must succeed where the others failed. Prince Zach’s unparalleled skill with a sword, enhanced by Ivy’s magic Kiss, should make them an unstoppable pair—but try convincing Zach of that. Prince Zach has spent his life preparing for battle, but he would rather be branded a heretic than use his lips as nothing more than a way to transfer magic. A kiss is a symbol of love, and love is the most powerful weapon they have—but try convincing Ivy of that. With the fate of their world on the line, the battlefield has become a testing ground, and only one of them can be right. Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan—but try convincing their hearts of that.

Spring Into the Season With These 13 Upcoming Spring Releases!

Spring is just around the corner...


so put on your rainboots and dance around in puddles because these thirteen spring releases are almost in the world and you won't want to miss them!

1. The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw (03/06/2018)
Why You'll Love The Wicked Deep:
The Wicked Deep is a rich, beautifully written tale of curses, true love, and sisters. It's Practical Magic meets Hocus Pocus meets the Salem Witch Trials. Every summer solstice the Swan sisters return from the dead to "borrow" the bodies of local girls so they can charm boys into joining them in their watery graves. It's their revenge and the town knows all about it; tourists flock to Sparrow every summer for the Swan Season. This book is dark, atmospheric, and you'll gobble it right up!

2. To Kill A Kingdom by Alexandra Christo (3/6/2018)
Why I'm Excited for To Kill A Kingdom:
To Kill A Kingdom has a gorgeous cover for starters, and tells the tale of a siren who loses her voice and must bring back the heart of a human prince back to the sea queen or else. It appears to be a twisted take on The Little Mermaid. 

3. The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco (3/20/18)
Why You'll Love The Heart Forger:
The Heart Forger continues Tea's tale of how she became banished as she in present time travels with The Bard, her resurrected love, and her horde of beasts to overthrow a kingdom and right wrongs. The story is deeper than The Bone Witch and you'll be dying for the next book!

4. The Continent by Kiera Drake
(3/27/18)

Why I'm Excited For The Continent:
Is it wrong of me to say the reason I want to read this book is because of the controversy last year? I hadn't heard of it before that and if I'm being honest I'm still not sure if its "my kind of book" but it has nothing to do with why people were complaining. I'm not that sensitive of a reader and I look forward to making my own opinion. 

5. Lost Crow Conspiracy by Rosalyn Eves
Why I'm Excited for Lost Crow Conspiracy:
I adored the first book in this series, Blood Rose Rebellion and I'm both excited and unsure about seeing where things go next.

6. As She Fades by Abbi Glines
(4/3/18)
Why You'll Love As She Fades:
As She Fades is possibly my favorite Abbi Glines book to date. The writing is next level, the story has an unexpected twist you won't see coming, and it begs the question, "what if?"

7. Beyond A Darkened Shore by Jessica Leake
(4/10/18)
Why I'm Excited About Beyond A Darkened Shore:
I'm loving all of these Viking inspired novels coming out this year and this one sounds part Norse, part Celtic, and completely awesome!

8. Sky In The Deep by Adrienne Young
(4/24/18)
Why You'll Love Sky In the Deep:
Another Vikings inspired book, Sky in the Deep is just everything. It has a fierce female lead, amazingly written battle scenes, mythology, and romance.

9. Defy the Worlds by Claudia Gray (4/3/18)
Why I'm Excited For Defy the Worlds:
Defy the Stars was a little out of my comfort zone of reading but I fell in love with it anyway. It was such a quick breeze of a read and the way it ended left me longing to see what happens in Defy the Worlds. 
10. Ash Princess by Lauren Sebastian
(4/24/18)
Why I'm Excited for Ash Princess:
I read an excerpt of Ash Princess online and was hooked on the beginning of the story so I've been impatiently awaiting this book's arrival for months!

11. Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody
(4/10/18)
Why I'm Excited for Ace of Shades:
This book seems like such a unique read and I've heard nothing but great things about it!

12. A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas
(5/1/18)
Why I'm Excited for A Court of Frost and Starlight:
1. Autobuy author
2. Favorite Series
3. Gorgeous cover...
need I say more?

13. Legendary by Stephanie Garber
(5/29/18)
Why I'm Excited for Legendary:
Legendary is Tella's story and I'm really hoping she's a more worthwhile heroine than Scarlett. I'm still on the fence about this one.
