The Immortal Rules, by Julie Kagawa, has a summary!

The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden, #1)
Hardcover, 304 pages
Expected publication: April 24th 2012
by Harlequin Teen

"In a future world
Vampires reign.

Humans are
Bloodcattle.

And one girl
Will search for the key
To save hummanity."
You will kill. The only question is when.

In the dark days since the insidious Red Lung virus decimated the human population, vampires have risen to rule the crumbling cities and suburbs. Uncontested Princes hold sway over diminished ranks of humans: their "pets." In exchange for their labor, loyalty and of course, their blood, these pets are registered, given food and shelter, permitted to survive.
Unregistered humans cling to fringes, scavenging for survival. Allison Sekemoto and her fellow Unregistereds are hunted, not only by vampires, but by rabids, the unholy result of Red Lung-infected vampires feeding on unwary humans. One night, Allie is attacked by a pack of rabids, saved by an unlikely hero...and turned vampire.

Uncomfortable in her undead skin, Allie falls in with a ragtag crew of humans seeking a cure, or cures: for Rabidism and for Vampirism. She's passing for human...for now. But the hunger is growing and will not be denied. Not for friendship—not even for love.
Oh holy cow. Go Julie Kagawa again with the girl power. This is my most expected book of 2012. I love Julie Kagawa, and I really believe that she is going to blow our minds yet again with another masterpiece. Only this time we are talking about vampires (my favorites) and a bit of Dystopian thrown in for good measure. An unlikely hero... She sure knows how to write those heroes so, really anxious to meet this guy.

Do you think this one will be as good as The iron Fey series? I sure as hell think so. What do you think of the summary? If you didn't know it was Julie writing it, would you read it?

The cover will be out next spring. Don't worry, I'm all over that!

No Summary Yet.

Underworld (Abandon Trilogy #2)
Expected publication: May 2012
by Scholastic Inc

Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
Seventeen-year-old Pierce Oliviera isn’t dead.

Not this time.
But she is being held against her will in the dim, twilit world between heaven and hell, where the spirits of the deceased wait before embarking upon their final journey.

Her captor, John Hayden, claims it’s for her own safety. Because not all the departed are dear. Some are so unhappy with where they ended up after leaving the Underworld, they’ve come back as Furies, intent on vengeance…on the one who sent them there and on the one whom he loves.

But while Pierce might be safe from the Furies in the Underworld, far worse dangers could be lurking for her there…and they might have more to do with its ruler than with his enemies.

And unless Pierce is careful, this time there’ll be no escape.
I don't know why I would need this "guide" into the Hunger Games, but it still intrigues me enough to get it. Plus I want to have all the books of The Hunger Games. The second book The Thing About the Truth has no summary, but the title, not to mention the cover, intrigues me. It will probably be contemporary YA, but I could take a stab at it. Underworld by Meg Cabot's cover I think was recently released cause I hadn't seen it before. Thought fans of the series might enjoy it ^^ I got to tell you, it's not better than the first cover but it will do. So what do you think? Which one of these are you most anticipating? What are waiting on this wednesday?

Teaser Tuesday!

404 Pages
Published Oct. 18th 2011

"Then the gray water horse tears my father from his uneasy place on the back of the red stallion.
 The gray cannot keep its ragged grip on my father's chest, and so my father falls to the sand, already ruined before the hooves get to him. He was in second place, so it take a long minute before the rest of the horses have passed over the top of his body and I can see it again. By then, he is a long, black and scarlet smear half submerged in the frothy tide. The red stallion circles, halfway to a hungry creature of the sea, but he does as I asked: He does not eat the thing that was my father."
The Scorpio Races is very graphic. This paragraph is told from a ten year old's POV. I am loving it. It was so funny, cause the races and stuff begin on November 1st, and today is November 1st and I started reading the book. So cool!

Anyways, in the poll I made you guys asked I read Eve first and then Scorpio Races, and the review for Eve is already up, so Scorpio Races is coming up next.
