Hidden deep in the heart of a snow-covered wilderness lies the secret kingdom of the Kanin—a magical realm as beautiful as it is treacherous…Bryn Aven has never fit into Kanin society. Her blond hair and blue eyes set her apart as an outsider—a half-blood unable to hold a respectable rank. But she’s determined to prove herself as a loyal protector of the kingdom she loves. Her dream is to become a member of the King’s elite guard, and she’s not going to let anything stand in her way…not even her growing feelings for her boss, Ridley Dresden. A relationship between them is strictly forbidden, but Bryn can’t fight her attraction to him. And she’s beginning to think he feels it too. Meanwhile, there’s an attack on the kingdom—one that will test Bryn’s strength like never before. Finally, she has the chance to confront Konstantin Black, the traitor who tried to kill her father years ago. It’s up to Bryn to put a stop to him before he strikes again. But is she willing to risk everything to protect a kingdom that doesn’t accept her for who she really is? And when her mission brings her closer to Ridley, will she be able to deny her heart?

Why am I waiting?
I am so excited for this book! This book takes another dive into the  Trylle society, but this time surrounding around the Kanin. I really enjoy reading Amanda Hocking's novel because she provides a great balance between fantasy and romance. And that cover just looks gorgeous doesn't it?

The epic conclusion to Richelle Mead's New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series is finally here...

When the life of someone they both love is put on the line, Sydney risks everything to hunt down a deadly former nemesis. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes enmeshed in a puzzle that could hold the key to a shocking secret about spirit magic, a secret that could shake the entire Moroi world.

Why am I waiting?

I am so excited for this book! If you have not read this series, you need to! And quickly! This is a spin off series of Vampire Academy also by Richelle Mead that takes place in the same universe. It centers around Sydney Sage and the brooding, sexy, sarcastic Adrian Ivashkov that we all couldn't help but swoon over in Vampire Academy. With the shocking cliffhanger after Silver Shadows, I can't wait to get my hands on this book. I read the entire Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series in  month during the summer. I love the world Mead created because it is so much more than just teen vampires dealing with high school. There is a dabble into mental illnesses, politics, real life issues, magic, betrayal, love, humor, and so much action! Everything you could be looking for in a young adult novel is written nicely in these books and tied with a bow delivered to your front door ready to be devoured. I never wanted to read anything about vampires ever again after reading Twilight and I refused to pick up these books because of those cheesy covers (because let's face it: those covers are the captain of the Cheeseball Team), but these books do not disappoint! They are the true definition of  Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover! And I can't wait!
