My Book Haul / Showcase Sundays

This is Books, Biscuits and Tea's Showcase Sunday where I share my lovely book hauls each week. Have a look back at Vicki's link up to see what everyone is up too!

This week I read a mixture of books - an interesting Urban Fantasy which is a little different: Mist by Susan Krinard, Meet Me At The Cupcake Cafe by Jenny Colgan (lovely chick-lit) and Meridian Six by Jaye Wells - great dystopian story

I didn't buy any books this week but some did come in for review...

For Review

Midnight Frost (Mythos Academy #5) - Jennifer Estep

Publisher: Kensignton Teen

Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead. 
As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an innocent person will die. But the only known cure is hidden in some creepy ruins — and the Reapers are sure to be waiting for me there.

I love this series and after the shock ending of Crimson Frost I hope things start to improve for  Gwen...but somehow I doubt it!

Publisher: Puffin

Alyn, Jes, Ryan and Elsa are Nowhere.
A concrete cube in the middle of a dense forest.Imprisoned inside are one hundred teenagers from all over the country.
They're all criminals. But none of them remember committing any crimes.

This just sounds really different...I like stories that start with an intriguing mystery...

Invisibility - Andrea Cremer & David Levithan

Publisher: Penguin

Stephen has been invisible for practically his whole life — because of a curse his grandfather, a powerful cursecaster, bestowed on Stephen’s mother before Stephen was born. So when Elizabeth moves to Stephen’s NYC apartment building from Minnesota, no one is more surprised than he is that she can see him. A budding romance ensues, and when Stephen confides in Elizabeth about his predicament, the two of them decide to dive headfirst into the secret world of cursecasters and spellseekers to figure out a way to break the curse. But things don’t go as planned, especially when Stephen’s grandfather arrives in town, taking his anger out on everyone he sees. In the end, Elizabeth and Stephen must decide how big of a sacrifice they’re willing to make for Stephen to become visible — because the answer could mean the difference between life and death.
