April's Featured Upcoming Releases

Each and every month on Squeaky Books I feature 6-8 upcoming releases. At the beginning of every month, the novel with the greatest amount of votes will be given away. Fun times, eh? You can vote for the April books from April 2nd – April 30th at 7:59pm MST. That's the same timeframe you have to enter to win this month's book, Divergent. On May 1st I'll post the May giveaway and April winner.

Remember that you should vote "Yes!" on EVERY book you would want to win, not just one.

Also, I know many of you nominated June books. However, many of these were sequels, which I try to avoid putting on these upcoming releases posts, because some may not have read the first book. Also, there were some duplicate nominations, in which case the first person to nominate it will get the extra entries.

Is there a book you'd like to be featured? Click here to fill out the form and nominate it. If it's picked as the book of the month you'll get 5 extra entries to win it!

Die For Me
By Amy Plum


Release Date: May 10th, 2011



Summary:
My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.

Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.

Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.

Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.

While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?

But when she's rescued from a pack of hunting dogs by a mysterious boy named Aidan, she reluctantly realizes she can't continue on her own.

Posession
Elana Johnson


Release Date: June 7th, 2011



Summary:
Vi knows the Rule: Girls don't walk with boys, and they never even think about kissing them. But no one makes Vi want to break the Rules more than Zenn...and since the Thinkers have chosen him as Vi's future match, how much trouble can one kiss cause? The Thinkers may have brainwashed the rest of the population, but Vi is determined to think for herself.

But the Thinkers are unusually persuasive, and they're set on convincing Vi to become one of them...starting by brainwashing Zenn. Vi can't leave Zenn in the Thinkers' hands, but she's wary of joining the rebellion, especially since that means teaming up with Jag. Jag is egotistical, charismatic, and dangerous--everything Zenn's not. Vi can't quite trust Jag and can't quite resist him, but she also can't give up on Zenn.

This is a game of control or be controlled. And Vi has no choice but to play.

Can there truly be love after death?

Drifting in the dark waters of a mysterious river, the only thing Amelia knows for sure is that she's dead.

The Revenant
By Sonia Gensler


Release Date: June 14th, 2011



Summary:
When Willie arrives in Indian Territory, she knows only one thing: no one can find out who she really is. To escape a home she doesn't belong in anymore, she assumes the name of a former classmate and accepts a teaching job at the Cherokee Female Seminary.

Nothing prepares her for what she finds there. Her pupils are the daughters of the Cherokee elite—educated and more wealthy than she, and the school is cloaked in mystery. A student drowned in the river last year, and the girls whisper that she was killed by a jealous lover. Willie's room is the very room the dead girl slept in. The students say her spirit haunts it.

Willie doesn't believe in ghosts, but when strange things start happening at the school, she isn't sure anymore. She's also not sure what to make of a boy from the nearby boys' school who has taken an interest in her—his past is cloaked in secrets. Soon, even she has to admit that the revenant may be trying to tell her something. . .

  2. "Scapegoat: The story of a goat named Oat and a chewed-up coat"? LOL

    I'm not sure if that was a joke or not.... I know you occasionally review childrens books, but...
    Hmm.

    Looks cute though!

  3. Anidori,

    I included it because it's written by Dean Hale. I'll seriously give it away if it gets the most votes, but I was pretty sure it wouldn't. I just want people to be aware of its existence.

    :)
