This week I chose:
"Nightshade"
by Andrea Cremer
Philomel
Release Date: Oct 19, 2010
The following description is from Goodreads.com:
While other teenage girls daydream about boys, Calla Tor imagines ripping out her enemies’ throats. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. Calla was born a warrior and on her eighteenth-birthday she’ll become the alpha female of the next generation of Guardian wolves. But Calla’s predestined path veers off course the moment she saves the life of a wayward hiker, a boy her own age. This human boy’s secret will turn the young pack's world upside down and forever alter the outcome of the centuries-old Witches' War that surrounds them all.
Oooh, I love how the girl is the supernatural creature instead of the boy in this one! And I definitely love that she sounds so strong!! Don't you love the cover?? It seems to contrast with the description a little, but that can be a good thing!
Ok, I'm cheating a little because this is not a book but I can't help it- I absolutely can't wait for the Prince of Persia movie!!
"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time"
Walt Disney Pictures
Release Date: May 28, 2010
Summary from IMDB.com:Set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince (Jake Gyllenhaal) and a mysterious princess (Gemma Arterton) race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time -- a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

ReplyDeleteAs picky as I am about all these YA paranormal books, I am so glad to know that there are slowly more books coming out where the girl is the paranormal being. The cover is very striking with all the purple, and in some weird way, it reminds me of the reissues of the Thirst books, despite the huge color differences.
ReplyDeleteNightshade does sound good and I love the cover.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of both! My WOW is at The Crowded Leaf.
