An endless love, for an endless price.

Jack’s immortality is exposed when he prevents a liquor store heist, forcing him to flee to protect his secret—a secret not even he understands. But when he meets Leah Winters—a mirror image of his decades-lost love, Lydia—his very soul is laid bare. He begins to question his sanity. Is she real, and if so, what does that mean for Jack and his secret?

Jack’s not the only mystery man in town. A stranger named Artagan hints at knowledge Jack is desperate to possess. But can he trust Artagan, or does the dark newcomer harbor deadly secrets of his own?

As Jack’s bond with Leah grows, so does the danger to her life. Jack must discover just how much he is willing to risk in order to save the woman he already lost once.

Waiting On Wednesday


Sooooo....what book are we waiting on here at RFYF? Two books rife with suspense--kind of like the suspense we are all feeling waiting to open our gifts!



city 1
(Revolution 19 #3)
......
by Gregg Rosenblum
Release Date: 6 January 2015
Publisher: HarperTeen

From the creators of Homeland and American Horror Story comes City 1, the chilling finale to the Revolution 19 trilogy. 

The time has come to win the cities back from the bots—or die trying. 

 After finally reuniting at a rebel camp, siblings Nick, Kevin, and Cass are willing to do anything to stay together—and free their parents from bot rule. But the leader of the rebel camp has her own ideas. Cruel and determined, General Clay won't let anything stand in the way of her plan to destroy the robots and all the brainwashed humans. For Nick, Kevin, and Cass, this means their parents' lives are at stake, but they can't desert the rebels when they're so close to freedom. How far will they go to save the world they believe in?

dead of winter
......
by Kresley Cole
Release Date: 6 January 2015
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

Can Evie convince her rival loves to work together? Their survival depends on it in this third book of #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole’s Arcana Chronicles, a nonstop action tale of rescue, redemption, and a revenge most wicked. 


 Heartbreaking decisions 
 Evie was almost seduced by the life of comfort that Death offered her—until Jack was threatened by two of the most horrific Arcana, The Lovers. She will do anything to save him, even escape Death’s uncanny prison, full of beautiful objects, material comforts…and stolen glances from a former love. 


 Uncertain victory 
 Despite leaving a part of her heart behind with Death, Evie sets out into a frozen and perilous post-apocalyptic wasteland to meet up with her allies and launch an attack on The Lovers and the vast army they command. Such formidable enemies require a battle plan, and the only way to kill them once and for all may mean Evie, Jack, and Death allying. Evie doesn’t know what will prove more impossible: surviving slavers, plague, Bagmen and other Arcana—or convincing Jack and Death to work together. 


 Two heroes returned 
 There’s a thin line between love and hate, and Evie just doesn’t know where she stands with either Jack or Death. Will this unlikely trio be able to defeat The Lovers without killing one another first?

     Jack knew he was no gentleman, but the gentleman in him tried to thrust Lily behind him to spare her the sight of his cowhand from Connecticut, mouth ajar in a twisted scream, his frozen hands clutching his open shirt, as if to rip it off. 

They both stared down at the dead man.

Waiting On Wednesday


Sooooo....what book are we waiting on here at RFYF? Since all you young adult readers will be on a looong Christmas break soon, we are going to check out TWO new books that are coming out right in time to keep you all from being bored!



suspicion
......
by Alexandra Monir
Release Date: 23 December 2014
Publisher: Delacorte Press

A modern-day twist on the classic thriller, Rebecca, with a dash of the supernatural, a powerful romance, and a deadly family mystery. 

 “There’s something hidden in the maze.” 


 Seventeen-year-old Imogen Rockford has never forgotten the last words her father said to her, before the blazing fire that consumed him, her mother, and the gardens of her family’s English country manor. 

 For seven years, images of her parents’ death have haunted Imogen’s dreams. In an effort to escape the past, she leaves Rockford Manor and moves to New York City with her new guardians. But some attachments prove impossible to shake—including her love for her handsome neighbor Sebastian Stanhope. 

 Then a life-altering letter arrives that forces Imogen to return to the manor in England, where she quickly learns that dark secrets lurk behind Rockford’s aristocratic exterior. At their center is Imogen herself—and Sebastian, the boy she never stopped loving. 

 Combining spine-tingling mystery, romance, and unforgettable characters, Suspicion is an action-packed thrill ride.

Sometimes secrets kill. Maybe slowly, maybe painfully. Maybe all at once. 


 Melissa smiles. She flirts. She jokes. But she never shows her scars. Eight months after tragedy ripped her from her closest friend, Melissa is broken. Plagued by grief, rage, and the painful memory of a single forbidden kiss. 

 Javier has scars of his own. Life in the States was supposed to be a new beginning, but a boy obsessed by vengeance has no time for the American dream. To honor his familia, Javier joins the gang who set up his cousin, Diego. The entrance price is blood. Death is the only escape. 

 Two broken souls could make each other whole again—or be shattered forever. 

 Our time will come. And we'll be ready.
