This week, my WoW is Ripple by Mandy Hubbard
Summary:
For two years, I have not killed.
But tonight, I stand in the shadows behind a tree, watching as a boy skips rocks on the lake.
He shouldn't be here.
But tonight, I stand in the shadows behind a tree, watching as a boy skips rocks on the lake.
He shouldn't be here.
Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn't, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love--again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.
Then Lexi meets Cole. Against her better judgement, she finds herself opening up again, falling in love when she knows she shouldn't. But when she's offered the chance of living a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.
In Ripple, Mandy Hubbard spins a sea-ravaged tale of melancholy beauty, and the choices one girl makes between land and waves, love and freedom, her future--and her heart.
I am SOOOO looking forward to this book. I absolutely LOVE sea/land romances!

Entwined by Heather Dixon in my Waiting on Wednesday for this week. I came across it on the Harper Publishing site and I fell in love with the summary. AND the cover. Big plus, it's coming out on Tuesday.
Summary:
Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it's taken away. All of it.
The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation.
Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest.
But there is a cost.
The Keeper likes to keep things.
Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

So, Shimmer was released yesterday. And I'm so stoked about it. I absolutely LOVE Riley. And the third book is coming out in September. Thus, my WoW for this week is Dreamland by Alyson Noel.
Sadly, there is no summary released yet for this book. But I was just really excited about it so I wanted to post the cover, haha.
Also, in case you all haven't hear. Alyson Noel is releasing a new series under the paranormal genre called SOUL SEEKERS. It is supposed to be a four part series, the first to be released in 2012.
Super stoked about that as well. I'll be updating on all of Alyson's work periodically. :)

Radiance by Alyson Noël
Release date: August 31, 2010
Summary:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Immortals comes a new middle-grade series featuring Ever’s younger sister, Riley.
Welcome to the Here and Now
Riley Bloom left her sister, Ever, in the world of the living and crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. Riley and her dog, Buttercup, have been reunited with her parents and are just settling into a nice, relaxing death when she’s summoned before The Council. They let her in on a secret—the afterlife isn’t just an eternity of leisure; Riley has to work. She’s been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a curious boy she can’t quite figure out.
Riley, Bodhi, and Buttercup return to earth for her first assignment, a Radiant Boy who’s been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But he’s never met Riley. . . .
My Thoughts:
I absolutely LOVE The Immortal Series. And Riley is one of my favorite characters, so I can't wait until this comes out to read about her!
