First, thanks to StuckInBooks for hosting the Favorites Giveaway Hop. Obviously, this hop is about our favorite books, but I just have way too many. So, I narrowed it down to the last six months or so.
1. Heart of Ice by K.M. Shea
Rakel, a princess by birth, has spent most of her life exiled on a
barren mountain, despised because of her powerful snow magic. Though she
longs to be accepted, she hides in her ice-castle and lives with the
fear that her brother—the King—will one day order her execution.
Her
empty life changes forever when an army of magic users—led by the
enigmatic Colonel Farrin Graydim—invade her home country and plan to
enslave its citizens. Swallowing her fear, Rakel joins forces with her
jailers and uses her magic to save the people who scorned her.
If Rakel cannot defend her homeland, the country will be lost.
2. Demon Princess by Kassandra Lynn (Review)
With her father gone and her brother missing, Demon Princess Adriana has
to assume the throne, temporarily becoming the Demon King. The
procession is underway, and the princess is nervous yet determined …
until the unthinkable happens and she is summoned! Somehow, Aldric, a
mage-in-training has summoned the princess into the human kingdom. Now
trapped, Adriana must hide her identity and escape before she loses her
life in the hands of her mortal enemies.
3. Poison by Chan Lan
Since the night her mother was murdered, sixteen-year-old Rory Gray has known one truth: There are no good Seeders.
In
post-apocalyptic Australia, the scientists known as Seeders have built a
Citadel surrounded by food-producing regions and populated with
refugees from the wars and famine. To maintain their control, the
Seeders poisoned the land and outlawed the saving of seeds.
It’s
been six years since Rory graced the Seeders’ circus stage as the Wind
Dancer and still the scars on her body haven’t healed. Even worse are
the scars on her heart, left by a Seeder boy who promised to protect
her.
Now the Seeders are withholding supplies from Rory’s region
for perceived disobedience. Utilising the Wanderer knowledge she
received from her mother, Rory must journey to the Citadel through
uninhabitable terrain to plead for mercy.
However, the Citadel
isn’t as Rory remembered. The chief plant geneticist is dying and
rumours fly that the store of viable seed is dwindling. The Seeders are
desperate to find a seed bank they believe Rory can locate, and they
will stop at nothing to get it.
To defy the Seeders means death. But Rory has been close to death before--this time she’s learned the value of poison.
Recommended for fans of The Hunger Games, strong protagonists, circuses and nature!
4. Air Awakens by Elise Kova
A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...
The
Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the
rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice
Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.
Vhalla has always been
taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and
has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly
saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the
Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she
must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s
known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with
powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost
her more than she ever imagined.
5. The Last Necromancer by C.J. Archer (Review)
Victorian London: For five years, Charlotte (Charlie) Holloway has lived
as a boy in the slums. But when one theft too many gets her arrested,
her only means of escape lies with a dead man. Charlie hasn't raised a
