{Review} Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
Released: September 25th 2012
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Format: Hardcover, 404 pages
Series: White Rabbit Chronicles
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Buy: Barnes and Noble | Amazon
She won’t rest until she’s sent every walking corpse back to its grave. Forever.
Had anyone told Alice Bell that her entire life would change course between one heartbeat and the next, she would have laughed. From blissful to tragic, innocent to ruined? Please. But that’s all it took. One heartbeat. A blink, a breath, a second, and everything she knew and loved was gone.
Her father was right. The monsters are real….
To avenge her family, Ali must learn to fight the undead. To survive, she must learn to trust the baddest of the bad boys, Cole Holland. But Cole has secrets of his own, and if Ali isn’t careful, those secrets might just prove to be more dangerous than the zombies….
I wish I could go back and do a thousand things differently.
I'd tell my sister no.
I'd never beg my mother to talk to my dad.
I'd zip my lips and swallow those hateful words.
Or, barring all of that, I'd hug my sister, my mom and my dad one last time.
I'd tell them I love them.
I wish... Yeah, I wish.

{Cover Reveal} Winter Queen by Amber Argyle
Release Date: June 19th 2013
Publisher: Starling Publishing
Format: N/A
Series: Fairy Queens #1
~Becoming a winter queen will make Ilyenna as cold and cruel and deadly as winter itself, but it might be the only way to save her people from a war they have no hope of winning.~
Mortally wounded during a raid, seventeen-year-old Ilyenna is healed by winter fairies who present her with a seductive offer: become one of them and share their power over winter. But that power comes with a price. If she accepts, she will become a force of nature, lose her humanity, and abandon her family.
Unwilling to pay such a high price, Ilyenna is enslaved by the one of the invaders, Darrien. While in captivity, she learns the attack wasn’t just a simple raid but part of a larger plot to overthrow her entire nation.
With the enemy stealing over the mountains and Darrien coming to take her to his bed, Ilyenna must decide whether to resurrect the power the fairies left behind. Doing so will allow her to defeat Darrien and the other invaders, but if she embraces winter, she will lose herself to that destroying power—forever.
My Thoughts: I saw this reveal on Nevey Berry's blog, Le Vanity Victorienne about this book. And I couldn't not repost this on mine. I love the cover of this book, it's so beautiful and it definitely strikes you as a fairy book. And it sounds as good as it looks. I seriously want a copy. :) What do you guys think?

{Book Trailer Reveal} Veronica Rossi's 'Through The Ever Night'
The reveal for the trailer for Veronica Rossi's upcoming sequel for Under the Never Sky, Through The Ever Night was released to day on VH1.com. :D Here's what they said:
I think this was a very neat trailer, I just hope this is a teaser trailer. That way they can do another one like they did with the trailer for the first book with real life acting and stuff like that! But take what you can get, I guess. ;P I cannot wait for this book to come out. The wait is almost unbearable for this piece!
It would be super easy to dismiss any new dystopian young adult trilogies as copycats of the Hunger Games phenomenon — except the authors of these books keep coming up with scarier — and brilliantly original — ways of showing us how the future could go horribly, horribly wrong. Veronica Rossi did that with this year’s Under the Never Sky, which followed 17-year-old Aria exiled from a (literally) sheltered world where devices implanted in people’s eyes create a virtual reality to keep them content to remain indoors forever. Outside, dangerous lightning makes everyday life a gamble, but some Outsiders, like Peregrine, have acute senses to help them and their tribes survive. Of course, Perry and Aria meet up, and their chemistry rivals those deadly lightning bolts. Until, that is, their heroic antics force them to part ways.
In the trailer for book two, Through the Ever Night, we see that Perry and Aria will be reunited, thank goodness. But since this is the second book in a trilogy, we know things won’t be all happily ever after right away.
“The trailer captures the rising stakes that Peregrine and Aria face in Through the Ever Night. If book one was their story, book two broadens the scope to include their societies,” Rossi told VH1 via email. “There are many aspects I loved about writing this book, but one in particular was the introduction of secondary characters who stole my heart. I think I might write some fan fiction on the side about them!”
That’s got our attention, for sure. Through the Ever Night hits shelves on January 8. The trilogy has been optioned by Warner Bros., too, so check back here for movie updates too!
