Jocelyn's Waiting On: 

Nemesis (Nemesis #1) by Anna Banks 
Publication Date: October 4th, 2016 

Synopsis: 

Princess Sepora of Serubel is the last Forger in all the five kingdoms. The spectorium she creates provides energy for all, but now her father has found a way to weaponize it, and his intentions to incite war force her to flee from his grasp. She escapes across enemy lines into the kingdom of Theoria, but her plans to hide are thwarted when she is captured and placed in the young king's servitude.

Tarik has just taken over rulership of Theoria, and must now face a new plague sweeping through his kingdom and killing his citizens. The last thing he needs is a troublesome servant vying for his attention. But mistress Sepora will not be ignored. When the two finally meet face-to-face, they form an unlikely bond that complicates life in ways neither of them could have imagined.

Sepora's gift could save Tarik's kingdom from the Quiet Plague. But should she trust her growing feelings for her nemesis, or should she hide her gifts at all costs?

I'm really excited for this one! I've read the first two of Anna's Syrena Legacy series and I thought the execution was really unique. I am expecting no less from this series and I hope the romance is just as fiery as Emma and Galens. 

Cassie's Waiting On: 

Midnight Hour (Shadow Falls: After Dark #4) by C.C. Hunter

Publication Date: October 25, 2016

Synopsis:

A missing sister, a heart in turmoil, and a growing tattoo that no one understands...C. C. Hunter brings The Shadow Falls saga to a spectacular conclusion in this thrilling finale: Midnight Hour!

Being a dyslexic witch has never been easy for Miranda Kane, but her time at Shadow Falls helped her tap into her true powers. Now her life is thrown into chaos after a near death experience leaves her with a mysterious growing tattoo no one can explain. Her heart is a mess over whether to get back together with Perry or take a chance on a new love, her parents are spitting up, and she may not get into the same college of her two best friends. To upend her world further, it appears her sister has been kidnapped and it’s not just her they want. Miranda’s only way of saving her sister may be to take her place. Will her friends at Shadow Falls save Miranda…or will she realize that she had the power to save herself all along?

I will never get enough of the Shadow Falls saga, so it was a complete surprise when I found out that there was going to be another addition to the series! Even more, I'm excited that Miranda is getting a full length book! This is guaranteed to be a hilarious, fun adventure that will have a place on my bookshelf for a long time to come. Plus, this comes out on my birthday, so it's a double win :)
