Feature and Follow #6

Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community. If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers. But you have to know, the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

Q: If you could hang out with any author (living) who would it be and what would you want to do?

Hmmmm... Laini Taylor! I just finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone and love doesn't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed it. I am going to savor Days of Blood and Starlight. If I do meet her, I'll probably be too starstruck to start an intellectual conversation with her (though I am curious as to where she comes up with such an intricate world with angels and chimeras). I'll probably bask in her awesomeness and hope that some of it seeps into me. Oh and I want her bubblegum pink hair.

Leave a link to your FF, so I can check it out. Please let me know if you are a new follower, so I can follow you back. Happy Friday to all!

Review: Shadows by Paula Weston

Blurb:
It’s almost a year since Gaby Winters was in the car crash that killed her twin brother, Jude. Her body has healed in the sunshine of Pandanus Beach, but her grief is raw and constant. It doesn’t help that every night in her dreams she kills demons and other hell-spawn.

And then Rafa comes to town. Not only does he look exactly like the guy who’s been appearing in Gaby’s dreams—he claims a history with her brother that makes no sense. Gaby is forced to accept that what she thought she knew about herself and her life is only a shadow of the truth—and that the truth is more likely to be found in the shadows of her nightmares.

Who is Rafa? Who are the Rephaim? And most importantly, who can she trust?

Fast-paced and gripping, Shadows, the first book in the Rephaim series, is a standout paranormal romance for fans of Richelle Mead and Cassandra Clare.

Genre: New Adult/ Paranormal>Angels
Series: The Rephaim #1
Rating: 4.5 ☆s

Waiting on Wednesdays #4

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

           This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Hi guys, today sucked big-time. Sorry that is irrelevant to this post but I needed an outlet. I just wanted someone to know that I had a bad day. Anyways, back to the book I am eagerly anticipating.

The Falconer by Elizabeth May
Blurb:
Edinburgh, Scotland, 1844

18-year-old Lady Aileana Kameron, the only daughter of the Marquess of Douglas, was destined to a life carefully planned around Edinburgh’s social events – right up until a faery kills her mother.

Now it’s the 1844 winter season. Between a seeming endless number of parties, Aileana slaughters faeries in secret. Armed with modified percussion pistols and explosives, every night she sheds her aristocratic facade and goes hunting. She’s determined to track down the faery who murdered her mother, and to destroy any who prey on humans in the city’s many dark alleyways.

But she never even considered that she might become attracted to one. To the magnetic Kiaran MacKay, the faery who trained her to kill his own kind. Nor is she at all prepared for the revelation he’s going to bring. Because Midwinter is approaching, and with it an eclipse that has the ability to unlock a Fae prison and begin the Wild Hunt.

A battle looms, and Aileana is going to have to decide how much she’s willing to lose – and just how far she’ll go to avenge her mother’s murder.

I am not sure how many of y'all heard of this one or posted it since I haven't done a WoW in a long, long time. But historical fiction and fairies sounds too delightful to pass up!
On a side note, there is news of Angelfall 2 (still no title) that it is going to be released this fall! So eeeeep.

That is all for today folks. What book are you waiting on? Let me know in the comments down below.
