Hey guys!
Every month I post the books that I’m most excited about that are going to be released. For October I’m bringing you three exciting releases. Let’s check them out:
Spinning Starlight by R.C. Lewis
Release Date: October 6, 2015
Sixteen-year-old heiress and paparazzi darling Liddi Jantzen hates the spotlight. But as the only daughter in the most powerful tech family in the galaxy, it’s hard to escape it. So when a group of men show up at her house uninvited, she assumes it’s just the usual media-grubs. That is, until shots are fired.
Liddi escapes, only to be pulled into an interplanetary conspiracy more complex than she ever could have imagined. Her older brothers have been caught as well, trapped in the conduits between the planets. And when their captor implants a device in Liddi’s vocal cords to monitor her speech, their lives are in her hands: One word and her brothers are dead.
Desperate to save her family from a desolate future, Liddi travels to another world, where she meets the one person who might have the skills to help her bring her eight brothers home-a handsome dignitary named Tiav. But without her voice, Liddi must use every bit of her strength and wit to convince Tiav that her mission is true. With the tenuous balance of the planets deeply intertwined with her brothers’ survival, just how much is Liddi willing to sacrifice to bring them back?
The Rose Society by Marie Lu
Release Date: October 6, 2015
Once upon a time, a girl had a father, a prince, a society of friends. Then they betrayed her, and she destroyed them all.
Adelina Amouteruโs heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.
But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?
Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch
Release Date: October 13, 2015
Itโs been three months since the Winterians were freed and Springโs king, Angra, disappearedโthanks largely to the help of Cordell.
Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoriaโs lost chasm of magic. Theron sees this find as an opportunityโwith this much magic, the world can finally stand against threats like Angra. But Meira fears the danger the chasm posesโthe last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders the two on a mission across the kingdoms of Primoria to discover the chasmโs secrets, Meira plans to use the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safeโeven if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves?
Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Januariโleaving Winter vulnerable to Cordellโs growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, he decides to take Winterโs security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken kingdom and protect them from new threats?
As the web of power and deception weaves tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedomโand Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter, but for the world.
Let me know if you guys are looking forward to any of these books this month! I really can’t wait to get my hands on them.
Until next time,
Super excited for The Rose Society!!

Soooo excited for Ice Like Fire. Can’t believe that there are only TEN days left!! Spinning Starlight sounds super interesting but I probably won’t be picking it up any time soon because I’ll be rereading The Lunar Chronicles in preparation for Winter’s release.

I’ll be doing something similar in the month on November. I am going to read the first three Falling Kingdoms books before Frozen Tides comes out in December!

I haven’t read the first books that correspond with The Rose Society and Ice Like Fire (I forget the names because my brain is so damn forgetful) but still I am anticipating these sequels because it means I can binge read! My favourite thing to do!
Lovely post Jesse!
