Waiting On Wednesday (12): Endlessly by Kiersten White

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, in which bloggers talk about the books they are most eager for!

Publisher: Harper Teen
Release Date: July 24th, 2012

Try as she might, Evie can’t seem to escape her not-so-normal past. And what was supposed to be a blissfully normal school break is ruined when a massive group of paranormals shows up at her house, claiming that Evie is the only one who can protect them from a mysterious, perilous fate.

The deadly war between the faerie courts looms ever closer. The clock is ticking on the entire paranormal world. And its future rests solely in Evie’s hands.

So much for normal.

With a perfect blend of humor and suspense, Endlessly is everything readers could dream of in a conclusion—and the unexpected twists will keep them guessing until the very last page
. (Summary from Goodreads)

The Paranormalcy series by Kiersten White is, without a doubt, one of the best paranormal series out there. It is hilarious, captivating, and everything else you can ask for in a novel. Evie is an adorable protagonist who's heart and humor will keep you laughing and smiling throughout the story. And Lend. Oh, Lend. A boy out of any girls dreams (well, if they featured a supernatural-body-morphing hottie). 

I'm going to be very sad to see this series end, but I'm sure Kiersten White will keeping me smiling through the sadness! I can't wait to see how to all comes to an end!

Also, can I just gush about how much I love this cover?! I adored the first two, but this one takes the cake! The gorgeous dress, plus the stunning purple all comes together to make one of my favorite covers this year!

Waiting On Wednesday (11): Timepiece by Myra McEntire

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, in which bloggers talk about the books they are most eager for!

This week's pick: Timepiece by Myra McEntire
Publisher: Egmont USA
Release Date: June 12th, 2012

A threat from the past could destroy the future. And the clock is ticking...

Kaleb Ballard's relentless flirting is interrupted when Jack Landers, the man who tried to murder his father, timeslips in and attacks before disappearing just as quickly. But Kaleb has never before been able to see time travelers, unlike many of his friends associated with the mysterious Hourglass organization. Are Kaleb's powers expanding, or is something very wrong?

Then the Hourglass is issued an ultimatum. Either they find Jack and the research he's stolen on the time gene, or time will be altered with devastating results.

Now Kaleb, Emerson, Michael, and the other Hourglass recruits have no choice but to use their unusual powers to find Jack. But where do they even start? And when? And even if they succeed, it may not be enough...

The follow-up to Hourglass, Timepiece blends the paranormal, science fiction, mystery, and suspense genres into a nonstop thrill ride where every second counts. (Summary from Goodreads)


I absolutely, positively, adored Hourglass (review here), and I have been looking forward to Timepiece ever since turning the last page. Luckily, we only have to wait a few more weeks until it's release date! 


I'm particularly excited to read this sequel cause it happens to be narrated by Kaleb. I am so excited to finally hear his thoughts, and see things from his perspective! McEntire is sure to deliver a heart-pounding story, filled with lots of time travel, sarcasm and gorgeous boys! What more could you ask for!
