Only a couple of new books this week but that's okay because it gave me time to get a lot of reading done.  Now look out this week when hopefully i can post the reviews for all the awesome books I read during the last week :)

Purchased:


So I was excited to receive the below book as it is the final book in the faerie path series.  However the rest of faerie path books I own are paperbacks and somehow I managed to order this in hardcover rather than paperback so there was a tiny bit of disappointment when I received it as now my series won't all be in the same style.  I know, first world problems, but either way can't wait to read this :-)



The Charmed Return (The Faerie Path #6) by Allan Frewin Jones


The thrilling conclusion to the Faerie Path series, in which Tania, the long-lost princess of Faerie, ultimately must choose between her two worlds.

She was once a princess of Faerie, the seventh daughter of King Oberon. But sixteen-year-old Anita Palmer wakes up in London with no memory of the Faerie Realm; her princess identity; her true love, Edric; or her quest to save Faerie from a deadly plague that ravaged it. Anita must reawaken Tania, her Faerie self…but how? And who can she trust when not even her memories are safe? Her quest leads to a thrilling final battle, with her own destiny—as well as the fate of both Faerie and the Mortal World—at stake.

Teen fairy books are more popular than ever, and the final book in the Faerie Path series is perfect for readers who are looking for action, romance, and adventure.

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

An new vision of knights, dragons, and the fair maiden caught in between . . .

Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.

Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.

In her exquisite debut, Rachel Hartman creates a rich, complex, and utterly original world. Seraphina's tortuous journey to self-acceptance is one readers will remember long after they've turned the final page.
