"Waiting On" Wednesday #135: Allegiant + Black and Blue!

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
  


Allegiant
(Divergent, #3)
by
Veronica Roth

Publication date:
October 22nd, 2013

   

One choice will define you. 

What if your whole world was a lie?
What if a single revelation — like a single choice — changed everything?
What if love and loyalty made you do things you never expected?

The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered — fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.

But Tris’s new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature — and of herself — while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.

Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the Divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent. 
 
 

Black and Blue
(Otherworld Assassin, #2)
by
Gena Showalter
   
Publication date:
October 22nd, 2013
 


He is every woman’s fantasy... 

Corbin Blue is a man of many talents.  One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy,  a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops agent...and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help - a woman with even more secrets than Blue. 

She becomes his only obsession... 

Evangaline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her own past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe — even though he'd rather die than live without her…

    1. I actually prefer all the UK covers of the Divergent trilogy compared to the US ones (that's why I got them).

      As for Gena's adult books, what are you waiting for? They're great, entertaining & addicting - I do love her books & writing style :) So, yeah, you must try them :)

    1. I know what you meant, she probably has at least 40 books written so far, and I haven't even read half of them, too, maybe I've read around a 3rd of them, but those I've read, I've loved :)

      Thanks for stopping by, Kate!
