Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing she is dead.
But that doesn't stop Luna from wanting more. When she meets Fowler, a mysterious archer braving the woods outside her tower, Luna is drawn to him despite the risk. When the tower is attacked, Luna and Fowler escape together. But this world of darkness is more treacherous than Luna ever realized.
With every threat stacked against them, Luna and Fowler find solace in each other. But with secrets still unspoken between them, falling in love might be their most dangerous journey yet.
WHY I'M WAITING:
Sophie Jordan's upcoming release sounds AMAZING! I can't wait for this. This has everything I could possibly want in a YA fantasy, curses, strong female princess, secrets and cute archer boys. It kind of reminds me of Rapunzel’s story which had me really excited. Since I love fairy tale retellings.
I don't know if that is what this story is based on or whether it just coincidentally but I’m interested regardless.
Also, how absolutely beautiful is that cover?

The two-bit town of Rogue City is a lawless place, full of dark magic and saloon brawls, monsters and six-shooters. But it’s perfect for seventeen-year-old Westie, the notorious adopted daughter of local inventor Nigel Butler.
Westie was only a child when she lost her arm and her family to cannibals on the wagon trail. Nine years later, Westie may seem fearsome with her foul-mouthed tough exterior and the powerful mechanical arm built for her by Nigel, but the memory of her past still haunts her. She’s determined to make the killers pay for their crimes—and there’s nothing to stop her except her own reckless ways.
But Westie’s search ceases when a wealthy family comes to town looking to invest in Nigel’s latest invention, a machine that can harvest magic from gold—which Rogue City desperately needs as the magic wards that surround the city start to fail. There’s only one problem: the investors look exactly like the family who murdered Westie’s kin. With the help of Nigel’s handsome but scarred young assistant, Alistair, Westie sets out to prove their guilt. But if she’s not careful, her desire for revenge could cost her the family she has now.
WHY I'M WAITING
Western, meets magic, meets machines? Yes please, sign me up! I've been getting into lots of steampunk lately, and I feel this one is right up my alley. A girl with a tough exterior, who has a mechanical arm, and is out for vengeance of the people who killed her family, I am all in! Plus the cover for the book is to die for. I am eagerly waiting for this one to come out.
Title: Dreamology

For as long as Alice can remember, she has dreamed of Max. Together they have traveled the world and fallen deliriously, hopelessly in love. Max is the boy of her dreams—and only her dreams. Because he doesn’t exist.
But when Alice walks into class on her first day at a new school, there he is. It turns out, though, that Real Max is nothing like Dream Max, and getting to know each other in reality isn’t as perfect as Alice always hoped.
When their dreams start to bleed dangerously into their waking hours, the pair realize that they might have to put an end to a lifetime of dreaming about each other. But when you fall in love in your dreams, can reality ever be enough?
Whimsical, romantic and utterly original, Lucy Keating’s debut novel will win readers’ hearts.
WHY I'M WAITING:
Dreamology is a must read for me! I fell in love with the title and the amazing, beautiful cover, I love the colors. I think a lot of girls will identify with the main character because of that. When I read the synopsis I knew without a doubt that I would love to read it! I know a lot of people say that about other books, but I really mean it! I have always loved this kind of books, I LOVE love stories and I think this one is pretty original. I mean the idea of her dreaming about him and HIM appearing in real life?!?!? I need to know what happens, I really do!!!!!!
