The book I'm most excited for this week is......
Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh
Publication Date: August 28th 2012
Blurb from GoodReads:
Varen Nethers is trapped
in a perilous dream world -- a treacherous and desolate realm where the
terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel Lanley,
plagued by strange visions and haunted by the nightmares of Varen's
creation, is the only one who can save him.
Isobel knows that her
only hope lies within a Baltimore cemetery. There, in the early morning
hours of Edgar Allan Poe's birthday, a mysterious stranger known as the
"Poe Toaster" will make his annual homage at the legendary poet's grave.
Only
the Poe Toaster holds the key to the way between worlds. But even
greater dangers lie ahead for Isobel. An ancient evil, draped in veils
of white, is watching, challenging her for Varen's affections. When
Isobel finally finds Varen, he is no longer the quiet and brooding boy
who once captivated her, but a dark force, powerful and malevolent.
My Thoughts:
I fell completely in love with the story of Nevermore, you can read my review here. (Don't be too harsh, it was one of my first reviews I wrote for GoodReads!) Dark and broody Varen had me mesmerized from the moment he wrote his phone number on Isobel's wrist (in purple no less!) Goth-guy and Cheerleader thrown together?!! How can you resist such a story?! Mix in the sinister and dark dream world of Edgar Allan Poe and you have a winning combination. Nevermore left us hanging so cruelly on a major cliffhanger, so I've been desperate for the last two years to get my hands on this story! I'm counting the days!

I just finished this one and fell in love too. I can't imagine wating so long for the sequel, but I'm stoked it's finally coming out this summer!

I really do need to read the first book soon. I've heard so many great things.
I can't believe I haven't read it yet ! :/
Thanks for sharing, Rachel. :)
I am very excited about this one too. Nevermore was a bit confusing, but wonderfully written, and that cliffhanger was painful! I need some closure at least. If this one ends with a cliffhanger too, I will be very upset.
Anyway, there is another trilogy about a cheerleader and a goth - The Ghost and the Goth - and it's really very good.
I haven't heard of this book or the first one in the series so thanks for introducing me to some new books, Rach!
Wow I've been hearing of this a lot today so I just added the first book in the series to my to-read list (: haha.

Awesome pick for WoW, Jasprit! ♥
This one looks very tempting...thanks for sharing. Here's MY WOW POST
Nevermore have been sitting on my pile for so long! I guess I need to re-arrange my pile and manage my impulsiveness on picking up random books that ruins my reading schedule. lol! I gotta start this series soon. Nice pick, Jasprit. :)
I agree with you! Will be reading this as soon as it'll come out. I've been waiting forever and that cliffhanger is just so asdfghjkl!!! XD
My WoW
I haven't read Nevermore yet but now I MUST! I hope this one lives up to your expectations, Rachel!! :D
Yes Rachel me too! I absolutely adored Nevermore and feel like I've been waiting for this book for 15 years. That ending? *dies* I need to know what happens right this second:) And that blurb has me super nervous, I don't want Varen to be dark and malevolent!
Eeep, Edgar Allan Poe! This guy completely terrified me with his stories. Ouch, Tell Tale Heart... *shudder*
I think I really need to check out Nevermore though. Awesome pick, Rachel! <3
I loved the first book and can't wait to get my hands on this! According to Mimi on Goodreads, it's a great sequel. ;) I'm glad to hear you were a fan of Nevermore too. Awesome pick, Rachel! :)
YES I want to read this, too! But somehow haven't gotten to the first one. Must. get. to. library. now! I love the tidbit about the phone number.

You had me at 'Edgar Allen Poe'. :) I hope it'll be as good as it sounds!
Maja, I've seen The Ghost and the Goth around and have always wanted to read that series. All the books are out now, so I should give it a go. :)
Ooh. This sounds like a fascinating series! I want to read it! Goth guy and cheerleader? Yes please XD
I really didn't enjoy the first book of this but I'm glad your looking forward to it. Donna xox
