THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2014

2014 is a year which brings an end to many of series and trilogies we have grown to love. There is so many amazing books coming out this year, that my credit card is already preparing and resting for the huge spending coming its way. Here is the list of books I am most excited about.

Warning! Amazing stories are coming your way !

10. THE FOREVER SONG by Julie Kagawa (1 May 2014) :

Although I am not the biggest fan of THE BLOOD OF EDEN series, I am looking forward to the last (?) part in this story of one of the internet most favourite vampire Allison Sekemoto.

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster? 

With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer. 

MONSTER 

Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie. 

In a ruined world where no life is sacred and former allies can turn on you in one heartbeat, Allie will face her darkest days. And if she succeeds, triumph is short-lived in the face of surviving forever alone.


9. BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION by Jamie McGuire (1 July 2014)

We all fell for Travis Maddox in the Beautiful Disaster. His roughness and softness in his heart, made sure that all the girls in the world dream about meeting their own Maddox themselves. Now Ms McGuire is bringing a new series about the Maddox brothers. First one on order is Trenton.


Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.

Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt. 

Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red. 

As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.

8. PANIC by Lauren Oliver (6 March 2014)

Lauren Oliver brought us Before I fall and Delirium Series. She took us on a beautiful journey throughout these amazing stories and this year she is competing her works with two brand new novels.  First is PANIC which is another story about love and friendship and coming of age in extraordinary circumstances.

Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a dead-end town of 12,000 people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do.

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is even higher. She’d never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.

Dodge has never been afraid of Panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game, he’s sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he’s not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for.

For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.


7. ROOMS by Lauren Oliver (23 September 2014)

ROOMS is the second novel our well-known author Lauren Oliver releases this year. Rooms is a little bit different from what I got to know about the novel. She brings us her Adult Novel Debut with mesmerising story compared to The Lovely Bones and Her Fearful Symmetry. It will be dark. Thrilling and full of suspense. And it promises to be shocking!

Wealthy Richard Walker has just died, leaving behind his country house full of rooms packed with the detritus of a lifetime. His estranged family—bitter ex-wife Caroline, troubled teenage son Trenton, and unforgiving daughter Minna—have arrived for their inheritance. 

But the Walkers are not alone. Prim Alice and the cynical Sandra, long dead former residents bound to the house, linger within its claustrophobic walls. Jostling for space, memory, and supremacy, they observe the family, trading barbs and reminiscences about their past lives. Though their voices cannot be heard, Alice and Sandra speak through the house itself—in the hiss of the radiator, a creak in the stairs, the dimming of a light bulb. 

The living and dead are each haunted by painful truths that will soon surface with explosive force. When a new ghost appears, and Trenton begins to communicate with her, the spirit and human worlds collide—with cataclysmic results.

Elegantly constructed and brilliantly paced, Rooms is an enticing and imaginative ghost story and a searing family drama that is as haunting as it is resonant.


6. THE SON & THE TRAITOR by Veronica Roth (8 July 2014)

Two mini stories from the Divergent world. You all know how much love I feel for Tobias Eaton aka Four. I have fallen in love deeply and truly. He is the one fictional boyfriend I beg to date! And although The Divergent Series has ended last year, Veronica Roth didn't put the pen down and pinned us a series of short stories from Four's point of view before he met the famous Tris. I have already read the first two and they were very engaging. I cannot wait to find out more from Tobias' world.


5. THE IRON TRIAL by Cassandra Clare & Holly Black (9 September 2014)

When two best-selling authors collide and start to work together, we can expect exciting things. And one of these brand new things is A MAGISTERIUM series written by Cassie Clare & Holly Black.  And they are going to reinvent every thing you thought about the world of magic!

From two bestselling superstars, a dazzling and magical middle-grade collaboration centering on the students of the Magisterium, an academy for those with a propensity toward magic. In this first book, a new student comes to the Magisterium against his will -- is it because he is destined to be a powerful magician, or is the truth more twisted than that? It's a journey that will thrill you, surprise you, and make you wonder about the clear-cut distinction usually made between good and evil. 



4. MORTAL GODS by Kendare Blake (1 September 2014) 

This woman brought us Anna Dressed in Blood series and last year she made sure that we all fall under the spell of Greek Mythology in her new series - THE GODDESS WAR. The first book was amazing. ANTIGODDESS got under my skin and I was hooked immediately. Of course I am hyped about this second instalment and what the destiny has in story for Cassie and the gang. Is Aidan really dead? I hope not. But we will see...


3. HEIR OF FIRE by Sarah J. Maas (11 September 2014)

THRONE OF GLASS book series came to my life unexpectedly and forever changed my life. This book series is just purely amazing and I cannot wait for the new instalment. I want to find out more about Celeana's new adventures. And will she and Chaol find their way back together? What will Chaol do with the newfound information from Celeana's past?

Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. 

Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat - and his own toughest enemy. 

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love? 

This third novel in the Throne of Glass sequence, from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, is packed with more heart-stopping action, devastating drama and swoonsome romance, and introduces some fierce new heroines to love and hate.


2. THE INFINITE SEA by Rick Yancey (9 September 2014)

THE 5TH WAVE took the world by a storm last year with its unusual story. For the first time there was no saving and preventing the whole situation. Will Smith didn't kill all the aliens, instead the invasion has happened and the human population has been nearly erased. Only couple of us are still living. And they are on the run.  INFINITE SEA is the second instalment in this book series and I cannot bloody wait for it to come out. September can't come quick enough.

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

1. CITY OF HEAVENLY FIRE by Cassandra Clare (27 May 2014)

We have spent years obsessing about the world of shadow hunters and their friends. Now here is the final instalment in THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series. The great battle is coming and we don't know who will die and who will survive. Ms Clare mentioned six deaths of named characters. Do you have any ideas who's life will be cut short? May is around the corner and we will find out the big ENDING to the amazing book series.

I am coming.

Darkness returns to the Shadowhunter world. In the long-awaited conclusion to the acclaimed Mortal Instruments series, Clary and her friends fight the greatest evil they have ever faced: Clary’s own brother.

Sebastian Morgenstern is on the move, systematically turning Shadowhunter against Shadowhunter. Bearing the Dark Cup, he transforms Shadowhunters into creatures out of nightmare, tearing apart families and lovers as the ranks of his Endarkened army swell.

The embattled Shadowhunters withdraw to Idris — but not even the famed demon towers of Alicante can keep Sebastian at bay. And with the Nephilim trapped in Idris, who will guard the world against demons?

When one of the greatest betrayals the Nephilim have ever known is revealed, Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Simon, and Alec must flee — even if their journey takes them deep into the demon realms, where no Shadowhunter has set foot before, and from which no human being has ever returned . . .
