Cassie's Waiting On: 

The Battlemage (The Summoner #3) by Taran Matharu
Publication Date: May 9, 2017

Synopsis:

One boy's ability to summon demons will change the fate of an empire ... The epic conclusion to the fantasy trilogy described as 'Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings meets Pokemon'.

After the thrilling cliffhanger at the end of book two, we rejoin Fletcher and his friends in the ether, where they must undertake a mortally dangerous quest, all the while avoiding capture by enemies and facing foes more terrifying than anything they have yet encountered.

But this is nothing compared to what truly lies ahead for Fletcher, as his nemesis, albino orc Khan, is on a mission to destroy Hominum and everything and everyone that Fletcher loves.

Epic battles, dramatic revelations and breathtaking drama await in the third and final book in the New York Times bestselling Summoner series.

Words can't even describe how excited I am for this finale in The Summoner series!! Taran Matharu has consistently delivered an epic story that has swept me away in an amazing adventure, and I know this one will be no different.  It's sad that this will be the end of the series, but I'm excited to see what happens to Fletcher and his friends!


Jocelyn's Waiting On: 

Dark Breaks the Dawn by Sara B. Larson 
Publication Date: May 30th, 2017 

Synopsis:

On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Evelayn of Eadrolan, the Light Kingdom, can finally access the full range of her magical powers. The light looks brighter, the air is sharper, and the energy she can draw when fighting feels almost limitless.

But while her mother, the queen, remains busy at the war front, in the Dark Kingdom of Dorjhalon, the corrupt king is plotting. King Bain wants control of both kingdoms, and his plan will fling Evelayn onto the throne much sooner than she expected.

In order to defeat Bain and his sons, Evelayn will quickly have to come into her ability to shapeshift, and rely on the alluring Lord Tanvir. But not everyone is what they seem, and the balance between the Light and Dark comes at a steep price.

I absolutely love fantasy and books about the paranormal. Since Evelayn has the ability to shape shift, it seems like this is an awesome cross between the two. I feel like I haven't read a good book that features shapeshifting in quite some time so I can't wait to dive into this!
