2020 Book Releases I am excited about

The Night Country by Melissa Albert

Expected Publication Date: 7. January 2020

GoodReads: 4 stars

The second part of The Hazel Wood. In the The Night Country, Alice dives back into a menacing, mesmerizing world of dark fairy tales and hidden doors. Follow her and Ellery Finch as they learn The Hazel Wood was just the beginning, and that worlds die not with a whimper, but a bang…

My thoughts:

Have I read the first book? No. Am I excited about the second book? HELL YES! Despite the fact that I don’t even own The Hazel Wood the blurb is exciting. The story line of both are interesting and I want to read them, but why, oh why, are there so many other books already on my shelf that I need to read first?

The Throne of Swans by Katharine Corr and Elizabeth Corr

Expected publication date: 9. January 2020

GoodReads: 4 stars

In a world where the flightless are ruled by those who can fly…

When her father dies just before her birthday 17 years old Aderyn inherits the role of Protector of of Atratys, a dominion in a kingdom where nobles are able to transform at will in the bird that represents their family bloodline. Aderyn’s ancestral bird is s swan. But she has not transformed since witnessing the death of her mother – ripped apart by hawks that have supposedly been extinct since the  long ago War of the Raptors. With her parents gone she is in the mercy of her brutal uncle, the king and his court. Driven by revenge and love she must venture into hear of the Citadel in order to seek the truth about the attack that so nearly destroyed her and fight for the home she vowed to protect.

My thoughts: I love the idea of people transforming into birds. It is essentially one of my dreams. To be able to fly free like a bird. I doubt this book will have this element but I am very excited to find out. Apart from the magic element there is a promise of plotting and foreshadowing on the high level and I feel like this book might be very unpredictable. But I guess I will have to see for myself.

Good Reads: 4 stars

The year is 1911 when 20 year old heiress Peggy is ivited to spend the summer in America’s Playbgound. Initiation to the Luxurious Oriental House is unwelcome, Peggy would much rather spend time working in the bookstore than keeping up appearances with her New York City snobbish controlling family. But soon it transpires that the hedonism of nearby Coney Island affords Peggy freedom and it is not long before she fall in love with troubled artist who Batternberg patriarchs would not approve of. Hidden behind their pomposity lurks a web of deceit, betrayal and deadly secrets. As bodies start to mount up amidst the sweltering clamour it seem the powerful can get away with anything … even murder.

My thoughts:

Ok, this sounds like a boring romance… wait a minute bodies what? I think this might be great book that starts all sweet and soft and page by page goes darker then you would think. This sounds good to me and I can’t wait to start reading. I asked for ebook ARC and I got it… so the book review might come your way soon.

All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

Expected publication day: 4. February 2020

Good Reads: 4 stars

Set in a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaid seek vengeance with song, and magic is a choice.

My thoughts: The title doesn’t sound very good… but hold on, mermaids? Magic? I am in! this is the first book in the series and I think it might be very interesting journey into the underwater world which we don’t get to visit enough in the books.  It reminds me of one of the short stories from The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo which I LOVED! So if I can get a series similar to that story I am ready to dive in! (Pun intended)

Good Reads: 4 Stars

Maddie Morrow lives for the summers at the Inn at Havenfall, hidden up in the mountain of Colorado. The Inn is the only place where she gets to see the boy she loves, Brekken and it provides an escape from her real life, which consists of endless mind-numbing days at High School… and visits to the local prison where her mother sits on Death Row accused of murdering Maddie’s brother. This summer everything is going wrong a dead body is discovered that shatters the Inn’s sanctuary status. Who is responsible for the murder? Maddie realizes even greater dangers face them all….

My thoughts: I was honoured to read 30 pages extract of this upcoming book. I am thrilled! Sara Holland writing style is so appealing. The story is about our world and fictional worlds that all meet in one place called Havenfall. This is some kind of portal or passage between all of them. There is magic and some long gone war…. I am sitting on the edge of my chair just after 2 chapters! I have so many questions about the plot and I can’t wait to get the answers in March!
