Whatcha waiting for?

Whatcha waiting for? 
This year alone I am currently waiting on a couple of books to pop up and me snatch them up and read like there is no tomorrow. The wait is really killing me and I just want to make a time machine to make time go by faster so I could read those books!.


So here are those loving books I am waiting on!!

Goodreads
The Norns think they’ve won, but it’s hard to control a teenager, let alone a powerful one… Raine Cooper’s life should be perfect. She’s an Immortal Seeress, most likely to be elected Prom Queen, and envied by the girls at Kayville High for dating the dreamy quarterback, Torin St. James. Instead, she’s haunted by the smug facial expressions the Norns’ wore during their last meeting. As a Norn-In-Training, Raine crossed the line long ago when she sided with the Valkyries and Mortal Witches. When the Norns return with demands of their own, Raine feels trapped. She must repair the battle grounds and wipe out the memories of every Mortal witness. Torin tries to convince her that the Norns are manipulating her, but she refuses to listen. At least until the Norns’ demands focus on someone she loves. When Raine refuses to cooperate with them, their punishment is swift and gut-wrenching, turning her pain into fury. Raine plots revenge on a massive scale and makes deals with unsavory allies. Her goal? Total destruction of the entire Norn race. Raine’s only hope of salvation is Torin, but how much will he sacrifice to save her?

Miss J.L Weil says she that book #5 to her Divisa series will be out sometime this summer! I cannot wait to get my hands on that book too. Book #4 left me crying and truly upset.

There is a world that runs parallel to our own, a world in which the souls of the damned are caged, where they are looked over by the Furies, and where they spend eternity in torment, mirroring the devastation and mayhem they created when alive. Someone has opened the cage. The worst of terrors has crossed the barrier that separates our world from theirs, and the Furies send a great, albeit untested warrior—their only son, Alek—to try to bring those souls back. He is young and handsome, headstrong and impulsive, and he won’t be able to do it alone. Eva has grown up, beautiful and beloved, but surrounded by secrets. First, she will be hunted in an ancient feud that will threaten her life. Then, she will become the hunter. With the police closing in and two worlds on the verge of crumbling around them, Alek and Eva must find each other, discover the limits of their powers, and work together to save everything they hold dear, including one another. Blending elements of mythology with the dazzling storytelling that her fans have devoured through the HOUSE OF NIGHT series, Kristin Cast weaves a spellbinding and passionate tale that starts a thrilling new series with an explosive charge.

The Collector Series Book #2, now I finished book #1 in no time. Then the ending left me like "WTF". I really enjoyed reading the book though and I am super duper excited for book #2 to come out :D!!

Mandy's twin sister, Brianna, has never had any success in the dating department. When Brianna finally meets the guy of her dreams, it turns out that he has secrets of his own. Dangerous secrets.

Mean girl Julie’s snob mob is determined to ruin her summer, and Aunt Sarah’s Bible thumping is getting louder. Only her new friend, Ren Fisher, offers safe haven from the chaos of her life. When one of Jade’s risky dates leads to humiliation and sudden tragedy, Allison reels, and Ren catches her. But as her feelings for him grow, so does her fear that she’ll hurt him—or worse—in an unguarded moment. The choice is coming—love him or save him—but Allison might not live to make it. One way or another, the curse will have its due.

Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her “last-chance” home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey will do anything to keep her safe. After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her co-worker. The man she loves. But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them. When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love

So I decided to take a break from the Dark-Hunterverse series and take a look at a different book. I have a bunch of free books sitting in my kindle and this was one of them that I decided to read. Let me say this, this book blew me away to South Africa and back literally. I really had such an amazing time reading this book. I did not want to put it down and when I did have to put it down to go to sleep I would stop at a part that I know I just had to finish or I couldn't go to bed. This book will have you and the edge of your chair in some parts.

I really enjoyed each character they all played a big roll in the stories. The main characters are Zoey Daniels, Ryker, and the adorable sprite Sprig. Well Sprig isn't really a "main character" but he is around most of the time even if he is asleep. Anyway Zoey works with DMG and she is a collector, she goes out with her partner Daniel and collect Faes so Dr.Rapava can do some weird test on them to find a cure for all this different disease. Well one night something bad happens and she runs into a group of fae along with Daniel who are trying to get something away from Ryker. Zoey is this strong willed, bad mamajama, she don't take shit for no shit. Now, Ryker is this big badass, viking looking fae and he flat out tells them no. On that night there is a huge storm which wipes out Seattle and lightning goes into Ryker and then into Zoey and all shit breaks lose.

So through the whole book Ryker and Zoey freaking hate each others guts. Ryker calls Zoey 'human" all the time and Zoey just loves to piss in his cheerios. Now where does Sprig come along? Well Sprig was capture by DMG and Zoey basically let him out and he says he is indebted to her. So he basically follows her around until he pays it back. Sprig is a narcoleptic, moneky looking sprite and he is freaking hilarious. You will fall in love with him once you get to know him.

There was no stopping in this book. It wasn't slow and it wasn't extremely fast either. Certain things lead to other things  and the your sitting there like "Shit, what is about to go down". The ending is driving me insane and I wish the second book was out already!!
