Books Coming Out Soon!

 So before Design Star comes on tonight, I decided to tell you about some books that are coming out on the coming weeks that might be of some interest to you all.

 The first book is Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan. (I do think this book was already released but it being rereleased.

 Publication Date: July 17, 2012
 Publisher: St. Martin's Press
 Summary: 

 If a violent battle destroyed the only world you’ve ever known, would you be brave enough to save who was left? Would love be strong enough to survive the fight? Either way, there’s no turning back…

 The Empyrean is the only home 15-year-old Waverly has ever known. As members of the first generation to be successfully conceived in deep space, she and her boyfriend Kieran will be pioneers of New Earth. Waverly knows she must marry young in order to have children who can carry on the mission, and Kieran, the handsome captain-to-be, has everything Waverly could want in a husband. But there’s a part of Waverly that wants more from life than marriage… and she is secretly intrigued by the shy, darkly brilliant Seth.

 Suddenly, Waverly’s dreams are interrupted by the inconceivable – a violent betrayal by the Empyrean's sister ship, the New Horizon. In one pivotal moment, Waverly and Kieran are separated, and find themselves at the helm of dangerous missions, where every move has potentially devastating consequences, and decisions of the heart may lead to disaster.

 It seems interesting, I think I might have to check it out, hopefully the romance part won't be the main conflict in this book. Otherwise, I think the cover is very intriguing.

 The second book is The Kill Order by James Dashner, who is also the author of the popular Maze Runner Trilogy.

 Publication Date: August 14, 2012
 Publisher: Random House Children's Books
 Summary:
 Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease.
  Mark and Trina were there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was easy compared to what came next.
  Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the eastern United States, and there’s something suspicious about its origin. Worse yet, it’s mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its knees.
  Mark and Trina are convinced there’s a way to save those left living from descending into madness. And they’re determined to find it—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some, you’re worth more dead than alive.

 I cannot wait to read this book. It sounds exactly like something I would like to read! If this is the book for you, just remember the book comes out on August 14, 2012!

 The third book I am mentioning to you is not the first, Anna Dressed In Blood by Kendare Blake is the first book. Although it is already out I am still mentioning it to you, just so you know what to expect when you get the second one!

 Summary:

 Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.

 Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.

 Yet she spares Cas's life.

 Now that you know what the first book is all about, the second book, Girl of Nightmares is coming out very soon!

 Publication Date: August 7, 2012

 Publisher: Doherty, Tom Associates, LLC

 Summary: 

 It's been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghost-hunter Cas Lowood can't move on.

His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live—not walk around half dead. He knows they're right, but in Cas's eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with.

 Now he's seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he's asleep and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong...these aren't just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.

 Cas doesn't know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn't deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it's time for him to return the favor.
