Most Anticipated (32)

My Most Anticipated Release of the Week is, Of Triton. After the ending of the last book, Of Poseidon I have been dying to find out what happens next. Plus this supernatural book has mer-people. Yep that's definitely very interesting! One of the biggest reasons I loved the first book was all the humor sprinkled throughout the story. I am a sucker for a book that can make me laugh and Of Poseidon certainly did that. I was lucky enough to find this one over the weekend and I am loving what I have read so far!

Summary:

In this sequel to OF POSEIDON, Emma has just learned that her mother is a long-lost Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: As a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm below. Syrena law states that all Half- Breeds should be put to death.

As if that’s not bad enough, her mother’s reappearance among the Syrena turns the two kingdoms—Poseidon and Triton—against one another. Which leaves Emma with a decision to make: Should she comply with Galen’s request to keep herself safe and just hope for the best? Or should she risk it all and reveal herself—and her Gift—to save a people she’s never know?(Goodreads)

This week my Swoon is from Spark by Brigid Kemmerer. I really enjoyed this book. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I'm definitely a Gabriel fan!

"The addictive pull of his mouth almost had her crawling into his lap. Her hands bunched in his shirt, pulling him closer. His fingers didn't venture higher, but teased along the edge of her skirt, brushing against her so lightly that she almost couldn't stand it. She'd never thought anyone would touch her this way--she's never wanted anyone to touch her this way. But now that he was being so careful, the building heat in her body made her want to rip all her clothes off...Layne always rolled her eyes in health class when they talked about hormones getting out of control. But right now, she could barely remember her name." SWOON#YABound

I loved this scene!! If you have a Swoon leave a link so I can check it out:)

"Gabriel stared, having no idea what to say. And in that moment of silence, she picked up her backpack and rounded the corner, without once looking back."

"No one could be alive in here. He could barely recognize the normal shapes of furniture. Everything was ablaze."

"Chris glanced at the house, watching the dark upstairs windows for any sign of movement. They were rolling down the driveway in neutral, the headlights off, but any moment the porch lights could flare to life and Michael would come flying out of the house."
