Top 10 of 2012: The Upcoming 2013 Books I Must Have

Posted December 28, 2012 in Meme / 7 Comments

 

Top 10 of 2012

Top 10 of 2012 is a week long EVENT organized by Rachel at Fiktshun, Lisa at A Life Bound By Books, Jessica at Confessions of a Bookaholic, Jaime at Two Chicks on Books, and Mindy at Magical Urban Fantasy ReadsLast year I really enjoyed making my lists.  It was a chance to analyze what I read over the year and remember some of the great books I devoured so long ago.

With the wrap-up event occurring during Christmas week, I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to get around to see everyone’s lists (my folks are in from out of town).  So please, don’t feel like you HAVE to comment – I might not be able to return the favor.

Today, we’re looking back at:

upcoming-books-text

Yes, technically Splintered by A.G. Howard should be on this list but since it’s shown up on every other list of mine this week, I thought I’d give it a break today.  Although I will be in the bookstore on Tuesday next week (or roundabouts then) to pick it up.  The typography on the inside of the book is enough to get me to shell out the dollars for it!

From Goodreads: “I dare you…”

 

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk’s home life, they’d send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom’s freedom and her own happiness. That’s how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn’t want her and going to a school that doesn’t understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn’t get her, but does….

 

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can’t tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn’t be less interested in him.

 

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won’t let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all…

the collectorThe Collector (Dante Walker #1)
by Victoria Scott

Goodreads

 

 

From Goodreads: He makes good girls…bad.

 

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big, red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

 

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

 

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

 

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions deeply buried.

Goodreads

 

 

From Goodreads: The normal part of Lorelei MacAlister’s life didn’t just slip away quietly the day Jared Kovach came to town. Nope. The normal part of her life shattered. It exploded. It burst into a gazillion shards of fleeting light.

 

It went out with a bang.

 

Goodbye normal.

 

Hello dark and eerie.

 

While her best friend, Brooklyn, is focusing all of her energy on helping Lorelei hone her abilities, Lorelei is dealing with the reality that Satan’s second in command has taken up residence inside her body. Oh, and the fact that she has a crush on the Angel of Death. But what a beautiful death it is. If those weren’t bad enough, something sinister has come to town and it wants nothing more than to hear Lorelei’s dying breath as it strangles it out of her. Thank goodness the gang has a supernatural champion. But what happens when the only being who can save them switches sides midstream? How can a group of misfits capture one of the most powerful beings ever created? And will they find out how to bring Jared back to them before it’s too late?

  1. Hmm..Yes, yes, yes, maybe, yes, yes, yes, don’t know it, don’t know it, hell yes, never have, yes, yes! Splintered would have been okay. 🙂

    I don’t even know where to begin with my 2013 must buys. The only two that immediately come to mind are Love Irresistibly by Julie James and Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost and that’s only because I read books by both of them in the last week.

    Great list!
