Title: Lock & Mori
Author: Heather W. Petty
Publication Date: September 15th, 2015

About: I'm a big fan of Sherlock and this book looks like it will be really good. It is a modern day Sherlock and Moriarty where they are in high school competing against each other. However, in this retelling, Mori is a girl.  This series sounds like it is going to be a great take on the classic Sherlock story.

Title: Court of Fives
Author: Kate Elliott
Publication Date: August 18th, 2015
Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
About: I got an ARC of this book and I really enjoyed it. It focuses around this skills course call the Fives that lower class citizens take part in. The main character is part of the upper class but still runs in the Fives.  It is a really good start to the trilogy.

Title: The Heart of Betrayal
Author: Mary E. Pearson
Publication Date: July 7th, 2015

Title: Go Set a Watchman
Author: Harper Lee
Publication Date: July 14th, 2015

Title: Every Last Breath
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publication Date: July 28th, 2015
Publisher: Harlequin Teen

Of the books I have read of Jennifer L. Armentrout, I have loved each one. So I'm sure this one will be no different. Also I really do not care for the cover change. I thought the original covers were bad, but these new ones are even worse...

Title: Between the Notes
Author: Sharon Huss Roat
Publication Date: June 16th, 2015
Publisher: HarperTeen
About: This is probably my most anticipated book of the month. It is also the only one that I currently have preordered.

Title: The Devil You Know
Author: Trish Doller
Publication Date: June 2nd, 2015
Publisher: Bloomsbury Childrens USA
About: This is another contemporary book, but it is an adventure book that sounds like it is going to be a thrilling read. It sounds like it is all about a mystery that happens on this road trip. While it sounds like it may have a love triangle, which are not really my favorite thing, the mystery and thriller aspect appeal to me.

Title: Joyride
Author: Anna Banks
Publication Date: June 2nd, 2015
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
About: I do not know much about this book except it is another contemporary. However, this one is by Anna Banks. I loved the Syrena Legacy Trilogy, especially the writing and the characters. So I think I will also enjoy this. I also know this book deals with doing what you want rather than what others expect of you.

May 2015 New Releases

These are the new releases that I'm most looking forward to in May! So I have 6 that I showcased and then I have some honorable mentions because there are so many books coming out in May.

Title: A Court of Thorns and Roses
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Publication Date: May 5th, 2015
Publisher: Bloomsbury Children's
About: This is literally one of the books I'm most excited for all year. Sarah J. Maas is definitely one of my auto-buy authors and I will buy everything she ever publishes. This book sounds so amazing too. We have Fae and it is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. ACOTAR is also going to be a trilogy, and it is apparently more mature than most YA. I have preordered 2 copies of this book, that is how excited I am for it! And I'm meeting Sarah on May 11th!!!

Title: The Heir
Author: Kiera Cass
Publication Date: May 5th, 2015
Publisher: HaperTeen
About: I really enjoyed The Selection Series so I'm excited about the next two books following America and Maxon's children. However, I'm also slightly hesitant because it seems like we are getting new books just to sell more books. I really liked the way The One ended and I'm weary of this next two books. However that being said, I am exited to see Eadlyn's Selection. Like with ACOTAR, I have had this book preordered since it was announced. And the cover is gorgeous.

Title: End of Days
Author: Susan Ee
Publication Date: May 12th, 2015
Publisher: Skyscape
About: This is the final book in this trilogy which is very sad. I absolutely love both Penryn and Raffe and having to say goodbye to them will be really sad. I honestly have no idea how this series is going to end, but I cannot wait to get my hands on it. The relationship between Penryn and Raffe is one of my favorites and I need more of them together bickering and being around awesome. There are also a lot of great side characters in this trilogy.

Title: P.S. I Still Love You
Author: Jenny Han
Publication Date: May 26h, 2015
Publisher: Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers
About: To All The Boys I've Loved Before ended on such the cliffhanger that I've been waiting what feels like forever for this sequel. I really need Lara Jean and Peter to work everything out. Plus I think we get to hear more from the people the original letters were sent to.
Where to Find: Goodreads / Amazon / Book Depository

Title: Crimson Bound
Author: Rosamund Hodge
Publication Date: May 5th, 2015
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
About: First off this cover is gorgeous. Secondly, it is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling which is awesome. While this cover matches Cruel Beauty (which is awesome for my shelf), it is a standalone. I really enjoyed Cruel Beauty, it was a really interesting take on Beauty and the Beast and I cannot wait to see what Rosamund Hodge has in store for this book. I absolutely love the Green and Silver on this cover with the little bit of Red.

Title: The Cage
Author: Megan Sheppard
Publication Date: May 26th, 2015
Publisher: Balzer & Bray/Harperteen
About: While I own the Madman's Daughter Trilogy (first two books), I have not read them. But I have heard nothing but good things about it. The success of that trilogy, plus the premise of this one is what has me so intrigued. This book is literally about what I assume is aliens capturing teenagers to display in a Zoo of some sorts. That is so captivating to me. Plus it looks like Cora (our main character) has a captor love interest, Cassian. This sounds like it is going to be a really interesting trilogy and I cannot wait to dive into this new world

April 2015 New Releases

These are the new releases that I'm most looking forward to in April!

Title: An Ember in the Ashes 
Author: Sabaa Tahir 
Publication Date: April 28th, 2015    
Publisher: Razorbill
About: Everyone has been talking about this book and raving about how great it is. I'm really hoping it lives up to its hype. This book is basically about a Roman like empire and an academy for soldiers. Our main character is Laia who is sent to spy on the Empire from within. This is written as a standalone so I'm really looking forward to reading another standalone fantasy since those are hard to come by. Sabaa Tahir is a debut author and I look forward to reading her first book.

Title: The Girl at Midnight 
Author: Melissa Grey 
Publication Date: April 28th, 2015     
Publisher: Delacorte Press
About: This book focuses on two different worlds and has been compared to the Mortal Instruments Series, which I loved. Our main character is also a thief which I love. This is one of those books that I think it is better off going into it with little to no expectations. This is also Melissa Grey's first novel!
Where to Find: Goodreads / Amazon

Title: All the Rage 
Author: Courtney Summers
Publication Date: April 14th, 2015
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin   
About: My interest in this book is solely based on the subject matter. It deals with sexual assault and our current culture surrounding it. The book focuses on a young girl who attempts to come forward but no one believes her and she is forced into hiding. It also sounds a lot like Speak which I really enjoyed. This book sounds like it will be amazing if it is well done and the topic is handled appropriately. 
Where to Find: Goodreads / Amazon

Title: The Death Code
Author: Lindsay Cummings
Publication Date: April 21st, 2015
Publisher: Greenwillow Books
About: This book is the sequel to The Murder Complex. which I have not read, but I have heard great things about. Now that the 2nd one is coming out, I may finally start this series. I really love the premise of a world full of murder and our main character being a trained teenage killer.

Publication Date: Feb 24th, 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen   
About: This is a Sleeping Beauty retelling where Aurora wakes up after 100 years asleep to a world she does not know and to a true love who is a stranger. This sounds like it is going to be a spin on the whole happily ever after thing in fairytales. This is also another debut author.
