What's Next? is a weekly meme hosted by IceyBooks.
Every Thursday, select 3-5 books (not
too many, not too little!) that you want to read but can't decide which
one to read first.
Post the cover, and if you want, the synopsis or even a random line from the book, for each of your selections.
At the end of your post, ask readers to vote on which one you should read next!
Even if you don't end up reading your readers' top choice, you'll know what the majority is excited for.
For more info, visit the introduction post HERE!
My picks this week are:
Allison Hewitt Is Trapped (Zombie #1) by Madeleine Roux
One woman's story as she blogs - and fights back - the zombie apocalypse
Allison
Hewitt and her five colleagues at the Brooks and Peabody Bookstore are
trapped together when the zombie outbreak hits. Allison reaches out for
help through her blog, writing on her laptop and utilizing the
military's emergency wireless network (SNET). It may also be her only
chance to reach her mother. But as the reality of their situation sinks
in, Allison's blog becomes a harrowing account of her edge-of-the-seat
adventures (with some witty sarcasm thrown in) as she and her companions
fight their way through ravenous zombies and sometimes even more
dangerous humans.
Witch Eyes (Witch Eyes #1) by Scott Tracey
Braden was born with
witch eyes: the ability to see the world as it truly is: a blinding
explosion of memories, darkness, and magic. The power enables Braden to
see through spells and lies, but at the cost of horrible pain.
After
a terrifying vision reveals imminent danger for the uncle who raised
and instructed him, Braden retreats to Belle Dam, an old city divided by
two feuding witch dynasties. As rival family heads Catherine Lansing
and Jason Thorpe desperately try to use Braden's powers to unlock Belle
Dam's secrets, Braden vows never to become their sacrificial pawn. But
everything changes when Braden learns that Jason is his father - and
Trey, the enigmatic guy he's falling for, is Catherine's son.
To stop an insidious dark magic from consuming the town, Braden must master his gift - and risk losing the one he loves.
The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) by Julie Kagawa
In a future world,
vampires reign. Humans are blood cattle. And one girl will search for
the key to save humanity.
Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the
outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge
for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten.
Some days,
all that drives Allie is her hatred of "them." The vampires who keep
humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked - and
given the ultimate choice. Die...or become one of the monsters.
Faced
with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To
survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most
important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad.
Then
Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There
she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend - a possible
cure to the disease that killed off most of humankind and created the
rabids, the mindless creatures who threaten humans and vampires alike.
But
it isn't easy to pass for human. Especially not around Zeke, who might
see past the monster inside her. And Allie soon must decide what - and
who - is worth dying for.
So, what do you think, which one of these novels I should read next?
Should I go with the zombie novel, the witchy novel or the vampire novel?
Leave me a comment & help me decide!
It would by fun to see what you think of Immortal Rules.
