One moment. One foolish desire. One mistake. And Corinthe lost everything.
She fell from her tranquil life in Pyralis Terra and found herself exiled to the human world. Her punishment? To make sure people’s fates unfold according to plan. Now, years later, Corinthe has one last assignment: kill Lucas Kaller. His death will be her ticket home.
But for the first time, Corinthe feels a tingle of doubt. It begins as a lump in her throat, then grows toward her heart, and suddenly she feels like she is falling all over again–this time for a boy she knows she can never have. Because it is written: one of them must live, and one of them must die. In a universe where every moment, every second, every fate has already been decided, where does love fit in?
This book sounds really interesting and different from what I have read. I love fantasy so I really home I enjoy this book. The cover is gorgeous as well. I really hope I enjoy this when it’s time to read it.
This is what I am waiting for this Wednesday. What are you waiting on?
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by
The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that one of the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All Bloogers are then welcomed to join. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is:
Top Ten Scariest Looking Book Covers
This week was kind of hard in a way, as I don’t think I have ever read ‘scary’ books with ‘scary’ covers. Not that I don’t like them or that I am not into them, I just have never picked one of them up. So this list consist of, covers that I do, find scary in one way or another.
1. Fallen by Lauren Kate – this cover in a sense is not scary, scary, but I do find the dark colours very gothic like and dark, which in some cases I do find scarier.
3. The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff – This cover is scary, anything to do with harming babies is scary to me but. The colours used, the weapons hanging on an old tree, above a babies pram. With all the low clouds/smoke very scary.
4. Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – I hate old house, they just creep me out so much, so having the old house in the background is enough already, but then the black, whites and greys with only the title, the bottom of her dress and what seems to be leaves or the shreds of material in red, makes it that much more creep. The fact that we only see her back, with her black hair going to one side with the wind, just creepy.
5. Asylum by Madeleine Roux – First of all the title of the book already, freaks me out, but the way it’s written is creepy as. Also the depiction of the figure of the girl and now it’s not full made out, how her face is somewhat not there makes it that much more scary. And how there is little light.
6. Sleepless by Thomas Fahy – the way that the title is written on the sleeping mask in like a cut, the blood dripping her face, makes it look really scary.
7. Drought by Pam Bachorz –The girls face is transparent and you can see right through her and see the creepy, old woods is pretty scary to me.
Sorry that, if it looks really wired, I’m not sure what has happened. What do you think of the books I’ve chosen? Do you think they are scary? What books are on your list?
I just love sharing all the new books I get months. So at the start of each month I will post what I brought throughout the previous month or received from either publishers, Netgallery or from people. For example at the start of September, I am posting what books I brought or received through August. I would Also like to hear what books you also brought throughout the month as well.
I brought and received a fair few books throughout the month of October; I just could not help myself. (These are in no particular order as i don’t remember which books I brought first.)
I went to a second hand shop in October and I picked up 2 books. They are in pretty good condition. I managed to get both books for $2 each.
I then got a few unprepared buys. Throne of Glass I found it for $5 and have to pick it up. Then a few weeks ago, when the Australian edition of The Fault in Our Stars came out I was going to go after school and get that edition even though I have the first edition. But then I was looking on my twitter feed and I saw that Dymocks were selling signed editions and well, a singed book by John Green yes thank you. And Finally just the other day I was in Big-W when I saw the amazing book set of the Hunger Games Trilogy and it was pretty much half price.
I then brought a few ebooks. I brought the e-books of Insurgent and Allegiant as I am saving up to get the hardcover box set.
The last 2 books I received as e-ARC. You can read my review on Seven Day Fiancé here. The Review of Pawn will be up closer to the release date.
So that’s what I brought/received in the month of October. Have you read any of these? Did you buy any of them? What else did you buy this month?
