The Alphabet Book Tag! (A-M)

Hey guys! Today, I’m back with another new book tag named The Alphabet Book Tag.

Because You Love to Hate Me: 13 Tales of Villainy By Ameriie [Review]

 RELEASE DATE: July 13th 2017
AUTHOR: Ameriie
GENRE: Young-Adult, Anthology, Fantasy.  
PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury Publishing
SUMMARY: Leave it to the heroes to save the world–villains just want to rule the world.

In this unique YA anthology, thirteen acclaimed, bestselling authors team up with thirteen influential BookTubers to reimagine fairy tales from the oft-misunderstood villains’ points of view.

These fractured, unconventional spins on classics like “Medusa,” Sherlock Holmes, and “Jack and the Beanstalk” provide a behind-the-curtain look at villains’ acts of vengeance, defiance, and rage–and the pain, heartbreak, and sorrow that spurned them on. No fairy tale will ever seem quite the same again!

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue By Mackenzi Lee [Review]

 RELEASE DATE: June 20th 2017
AUTHOR: Mackenzi Lee
GENRE: Young-Adult, GLBT, Historical, Adventure, Romance.  
PUBLISHER: Katherine Tegen Books
SUMMARY: 

An unforgettable tale of two friends on their Grand Tour of 18th-century Europe who stumble upon a magical artifact that leads them from Paris to Venice in a dangerous manhunt, fighting pirates, highwaymen, and their feelings for each other along the way.

Henry “Monty” Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and the constant disapproval of his father haven’t been able to curb any of his roguish passions—not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.

The Tiger’s Daughter (Their Bright Ascendecny#1) By Arsenault Rivera [ARC Review]

 RELEASE DATE: October 3rd 2017 AUTHOR: Arsenault Rivera
GENRE: Fantasy, Adventure, LGBTQ
PUBLISHER: Tor Books
SUMMARY: 

Even gods can be slain….

The Hokkaran empire has conquered every land within their bold reach―but failed to notice a lurking darkness festering within the people. Now, their border walls begin to crumble, and villages fall to demons swarming out of the forests.

Away on the silver steppes, the remaining tribes of nomadic Qorin retreat and protect their own, having bartered a treaty with the empire, exchanging inheritance through the dynasties. It is up to two young warriors, raised together across borders since their prophesied birth, to save the world from the encroaching demons.

Eliza and Her Monsters By Francesca Zappia [Review]

RELEASE DATE: May 30th 2017

In the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, smart, and friendless. Online, Eliza is LadyConstellation, the anonymous creator of a popular webcomic called Monstrous Sea. With millions of followers and fans throughout the world, Eliza’s persona is popular. Eliza can’t imagine enjoying the real world as much as she loves her digital community. Then Wallace Warland transfers to her school, and Eliza begins to wonder if a life offline might be worthwhile. 

War and Wind (TIDES #2) By Alex Lidell [Review]

RELEASE DATE: June 20th 2017
AUTHOR: Alex Lidell
GENRE: Young-Adult, fantasy, Adventure, Romance, Magic.
PUBLISHER: Danger Bearing Press
SUMMARY: 

Nile and her small band of loyal midshipmen saved the ship, and Captain Rima might just kill them for it . . . one young officer at a time. No one and nothing on the Aurora is safe anymore, least of all Nile’s explosive secrets or her connection with Domenic, which vibrates between them like a cutlass speared into the deck.

When the shifting tide of war suddenly turns Aurora’s backwater outpost into a vital battleground, Nile faces an impossible choice between duty and freedom. In a cascade of violence, gunpowder, and lies, Nile will soon discover who has her back and who wants to stab a dagger in it. To save the ones she loves, Nile may have to sacrifice everything.

Fallen Flame (Fallen Flame #1) By J.M. Miller [Review]

RELEASE DATE: June 19th 2017
AUTHOR: J.M. Miller
GENRE: Young-Adult, fantasy, Magic.
SUMMARY: Nineteen years ago, on the island kingdom of Garlin, a girl was born. With charred skin as rough as rock, Vala was instantly feared. For how could one be scorched by magic when it had perished ages before?
Recognizing an asset, the royal family welcomed her on their Guard. Her detail: the prince.
To watch. To protect. She has grown with him, lives her life for him.
When the high kingdom’s princess comes to assess the prince, assassins of rival courtiers come to claim his life. One nearly succeeds in his mission. But with shadowy movements and charred skin like her own, Vala knows he is not like the rest.
As threats to the prince continue and questions about Vala’s life begin to rise, she faces a fear worse than fire or water, worse even than losing him. 

Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) By Victoria Schwab [Review]

RELEASE DATE: June 13th 2017
AUTHOR: Victoria Schwab
GENRE: Young-Adult, Dystopia, fantasy, Paranormal, Horror.
PUBLISHER: Greenwillow Books
SUMMARY: Kate Harker is a girl who isn’t afraid of the dark. She’s a girl who hunts monsters. And she’s good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost.

Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows—one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons—it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for.

MY TOP THREE ANTICIPATING READS

 

 

 

 

 

 

BECAUSE YOU LOVE TO HATE ME: So many readers are pretty excited for this book.  It’s a book about Villains as the title states. I’ve never a read a about villains so I’m dying to read this book. In this unique YA anthology, thirteen acclaimed, bestselling authors team up with thirteen influential BookTubers to reimagine fairy tales from the oft-misunderstood villains’ points of view.

THE LAST MAGICIAN BY LISA MAXWELL:  I loved Lisa Maxwell’s Unhooked which is a Neverland retelling.  When I saw The Last Magician, I knew I had to read this because it sounds so interesting and what really intrigued me was that the female MC in this story is a talented thief who steals magical artifacts. I CAN’T WAIT TO READ IT!!!

THE BROKEN PUPPET(THE ELITE KINGS#2) BY AMO JONES: I’ve been eagerly waiting for this book since I’ve finished the first book which ended with a huge cliffhanger. This series is a total mind fu*k and definitely not suitable for young readers.

Until next time and have a great day! 😀
