This week I’m recommending you five books because of their breathtaking
covers! No need to say more ;)
PS: All covers are linked to Goodreads!
The Law Of Moses by Amy Harmon
Series:
stand-alone
Genre: young/
new adult, contemporary, romance.
Release date: November
27th 2014
Synopsis:
If I tell you
right up front, right in the beginning that I lost him, it will be easier for
you to bear. You will know it’s coming, and it will hurt. But you’ll be able to
prepare.
Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a
towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they
shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at
a dingy Laundromat, born to a crack addict and expected to have all sorts of
problems. I imagined the crack baby, Moses, having a giant crack that ran down
his body, like he’d been broken at birth. I knew that wasn’t what the term
meant, but the image stuck in my mind. Maybe the fact that he was broken drew
me to him from the start.
It all happened before I was born, and by the time I met Moses and my
mom told me all about him, the story was old news and nobody wanted anything to
do with him. People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But
babies grow up to be kids, and kids grow up to be teenagers. Nobody wants a
messed up teenager.
And Moses was messed up. Moses was a law unto himself. But he was also
strange and exotic and beautiful. To be with him would change my life in ways I
could never have imagined. Maybe I should have stayed away. Maybe I should have
listened. My mother warned me. Even Moses warned me. But I didn’t stay away.
And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of
life and death. A story of before and after, of new beginnings and
never-endings. But most of all...a love story.
The Archived by Victoria Schwab
Series: The
Archived #2
Genre: young
adult, fantasy, dystopia, ghosts
Release date: January
22nd 2013
Synopsis:
Imagine a place where the dead rest on shelves like books.
Each body has a story to tell, a life seen in pictures that only
Librarians can read. The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which
they rest is the Archive.
Da first brought Mackenzie Bishop here four years ago, when she was
twelve years old, frightened but determined to prove herself. Now Da is dead,
and Mac has grown into what she once was, a ruthless Keeper, tasked with
stopping often—violent Histories from waking up and getting out. Because of her
job, she lies to the people she loves, and she knows fear for what it is: a
useful tool for staying alive.
Being a Keeper isn’t just dangerous—it’s a constant reminder of those
Mac has lost. Da’s death was hard enough, but now her little brother is gone
too. Mac starts to wonder about the boundary between living and dying, sleeping
and waking. In the Archive, the dead must never be disturbed. And yet, someone
is deliberately altering Histories, erasing essential chapters. Unless Mac can
piece together what remains, the Archive itself might crumble and fall.
In this haunting, richly imagined novel, Victoria Schwab reveals the
thin lines between past and present, love and pain, trust and deceit,
unbearable loss and hard-won redemption.

Marguerite can’t let the man who destroyed her family go free, and she

I'll save you...
My name is Calla Price. I’m eighteen years old, and I’m one half of a

I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I’m
terrified he’ll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me.
I’m doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I’m
drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline.

I’m afraid, where I belong, where I’m lost. He will heal me, break me, love me
and hate me.
He has the power to destroy me.
