On My Wishlist.....*11*

On My Wishlist is a great event that Book Chick City runs every Saturday. It's where you list all of the books that you desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming. I thought this was a great way to start off my blog.
      


Illusions: Aprilynne Pike
SYNOPSIS: GOODREADS
        Laurel hasn't seen Tamani since she begged him to let her go last year. Though her heart still aches, Laurel is confident that David was the right choice. 

But just as life is returning to normal, Laurel discovers that a hidden enemy lies in wait. Once again, Laurel must turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the danger that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie thought would ever be possible. And for the first time, Laurel cannot be sure that her side will prevail.

I am putting this book again on my list because I am so ashamed I have not bought it yet. This book came out a about of month ago and I have yet to get my hands on it. I am so disappointed in myself. I need Tamina desperately!!!

Synopsis: GoodReads

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding.

To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.

Okay must I really explain why this is on my list!!! Im green with envy and jealousy from all the people that have the ARC to this book. I really want it and need more VA, even though it's a different world. I know I am borderline obssessed. But it's okay I accept myself. So for any one that has an ARC please share I will return once Im done reading it!

Cover Crazy Monday *2*

OVER CRAZY MONDAY is a weekly meme hosted by  the Book Worms.The point of this meme is to admire the art and beauty of a book’s design, so I’m going to post minimal words. It is up to you to write how you feel and what you like about it the way you’d like to.

Wings, Spells, Illusions: Aprilynne Pike














First off I cheated I picked 3 books but I couldn't help myself.
Secondly I absolutely love the first two books and I betting that the third book is just going to get better and better.

I love love love these covers they are beyond beautiful. I love how the cover wings is so simple and very true to the story. It's a deceiving cover because, when I first saw this cover I thought oh how pretty a butterfly. But now I  noticed they look like petals. Which if you read the books it's quite beautiful.

I like how Spells cover is a little bit more busy and brighter. I felt as we learned more about the fairies we got  more of revealing cover. 

As for Illusions I know you'll hate me but I love this cover as well its just as beautiful and the title makes me question what illusions are going to be depicted in the book and we will probably learn more about the fairies that make illusions. I love the book and covers and I recommend this series because it really is beautiful.
