May'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 May books from May 2nd – May 31st at 7:59pm MST. That's the same timeframe you have to enter to win this month's book, Ashes, Ashes. On June 1st I'll post the June giveaway and May winner.
SOME CHANGES FOR THIS MONTH:
There are some changes for this month. First of all, there are six books being featured this month. THREE of them are highly-anticipated sequels. And I know that the likelyhood of one of those books wining is probably greater than one of the other books. Therefore, I will be giving away TWO books next month. I'll give away the sequel with the most amount of votes, and the non-sequel with the most amount of books. Comprende?
Secondly, I didn't like that there was a "not interested" option on the polls. We aren't supposed to bash the books we don't want to read, we're supposed to CELEBRATE the books we do want to read! Therefore, you will notice that the polls have two options "Yes!" and "DOUBLE Yes!" this is because Poll Daddy wouldn't let me create a poll with just one option. You do not get double votes if you select "DOUBLE Yes!" But you are welcome to select either "Yes" or "DOUBLE Yes!" and your vote will count. Kapeesh?
Feel free to ask questions in the comments or e-mail me. Now go forth and vote!

Shadows on the Moon
By Zoe Marriott
Summary:
"On my fourteenth birthday when the sakura was in full bloom, the men came to kill us. We saw them come, Aimi and me. We were excited, because we did not know how to be frightened. We had never seen soldiers before."
Suzume is a shadow-weaver. She can create mantles of darkness and light, walk unseen in the middle of the day, change her face. She can be anyone she wants to be. Except herself.
Suzume died officially the day the Prince's men accused her father of treason. Now even she is no longer sure of her true identity.
Is she the girl of noble birth living under the tyranny of her mother’s new husband, Lord Terayama? A lowly drudge scraping a living in the ashes of Terayama’s kitchens? Or Yue, the most beautiful courtesan in the Moonlit Lands?
Everyone knows Yue is destined to capture the heart of a prince. Only she knows that she is determined to use his power to destroy Terayama.
And nothing will stop her. Not even love.

Luminous
By Dawn Metcalf
Summary:
As reality slips and time stands still, Consuela finds herself thrust into the world of the Flow. Removed from all she loves into this shifting world overlapping our own, Consuela quickly discovers she has the power to step out of her earthly skin and cloak herself in new ones-skins made from the world around her, crafted from water, fire, air. She is joined by other teens with extraordinary abilities, bound together to safeguard a world they can affect, but where they no longer belong.
When murder threatens to undo the Flow, the Watcher charges Consuela and elusive, attractive V to stop the killer. But the psychopath who threatens her new world may also hold the only key to Consuela's way home.

But she soon finds herself caught between a new boy at school who may have the power to melt her icy exterior, and a handsome water spirit who says he can break Lexi's curse if she gives up everything else.

Supernaturally
By Kiersten White
Summary:
A lot has changed in the six months since Evie escaped from the International Paranormal Containment Agency with her shape-shifter boyfriend, Lend. She finally has the blissfully normal life she’s always dreamed of, including:
1) A real live high school
2) A perfectly ordinary after-school job
3) Her very own locker (and by the way, rusted metal is every bit as awesome as she imagined)
But Evie’s not-so-normal past keeps creeping up on her...and things get pretty complicated when you factor in:
1) A centuries-old, seriously decaying vampire stalker
2) A crazy faerie ex-boyfriend who is the perpetual bearer of really bad news
3) A major battle brewing between the faerie courts where the prize in question happens to be...Evie herself.
So much for normal.

Shadows on the Moon sounds good. I've been wondering about Zoe Marriott's books. Has anyone read The Swan Kingdom? If so, do you recommmend it?
ReplyDeleteYES!!! I ADORED The Swan Kingdom. It was SOOO good. Here's my review:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.squeakybooks.com/2011/04/swan-kingdom-zoe-marriott.html
Yay! I will look for it!
ReplyDeleteDouble yes for Ripple! I have been waiting for its release! By the way, this is the first time I vote for the Featured Upcoming Releases. I like your idea of "Yes!" and "DOUBLE Yes!"! :D Surely we won't read books which we are not interested. But will the giveaway open international?
