Hey y’all thanks for stopping by to see my Dying to Read post and of
course as always I have to give credit to the lovely Jill over at Breaking the Spine for
the Waiting on Wednesday Meme! I adore Rae and her books and this series is set in my area so of course I can't wait to read the finale!!!
The stunning conclusion to Rae Carson’s New York Times–bestselling Gold Seer trilogy, which Publishers Weekly in a starred review called “Simply terrific.” A historical fantasy brimming with magic, romance, and adventure—perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Sarah Maas, and Westworld. Leah Westfall, her fiancé Jefferson, and her friends have become rich in the California Territory, thanks to Lee’s magical ability to sense precious gold. But their fortune has made them a target, and when a dangerous billionaire sets out to destroy them, Lee and her friends decide they’ve had enough—they will fight back with all their power and talents. Lee’s magic is continuing to strengthen and grow, but someone is on to her—someone who might have a bit of magic herself. The stakes are higher than ever as Lee and her friends hatch a daring scheme that could alter the California landscape forever. With a distinctive young heroine and a unique interpretation of American history, Into the Bright Unknown strikes a rich vein of romance, magic, and adventure, bringing the Gold Seer Trilogy to its epic conclusion. Includes a map and an author’s note.

OMG Y'all! I just saw the new cover for Claudia Gray's Firebird #2! It was released on Epic Reads site with some fun factiods about book 2 and the cover!
I've known the title forever it seems like and now I can share both that and the cover!!!
Look at the gorgeous!
And here's the synopsis!
About TEN THOUSAND SKIES ABOVE YOU:
Marguerite Caine has done the impossible, traveling to alternate dimensions with the Firebird—the brilliant invention of her parents, her boyfriend, Paul, and their friend Theo. But she has also caught the attention of enemies willing to kidnap, blackmail, and even kill to use the Firebird for themselves.
When Paul’s soul is splintered into four pieces—pieces that are trapped within Pauls in other dimensions—Marguerite will do anything, and travel anywhere, to save him. But the price of his safe return is steep. If she doesn’t sabotage her parents in multiple universes, Paul will be lost forever.
Unwilling to sacrifice her family, Marguerite enlists the brilliant Theo to help. The two forge a plan to save Paul and the Firebird, but succeeding means outsmarting a genius and risking not only their lives but also the lives of their counterparts in every other dimension.
Their mission takes them to the most dangerous universes yet: a war-torn San Francisco, the criminal underworld of New York City, and a glittering Paris where another Marguerite hides a shocking secret. Each leap brings Marguerite closer to saving Paul—but her journey reveals dark truths that lead her to doubt the one constant she’s found between the worlds: their love for each other.
Ahhhh my poor Paul!!!!

Sixteen-year-old Evening Spiker lives an affluent life in San Francisco with her mother, Emma-Rose, a successful geneticist and owner of Spiker Biotech. Sure, Evening misses her father who died mysteriously, but she’s never really questioned it. Much like how she’s never stopped to think how off it is that she’s never been sick. That is, until she’s struck by a car and is exposed to extensive injuries. Injuries that seem to be healing faster than physically possible.
While recuperating in Spiker Biotech’s lush facilities, she meets Solo Plissken, a very attractive, if off-putting boy her age who spent his life at Spiker Biotech. Like Evening, he’s never questioned anything... until now. Solo drops hints to Evening that something isn’t right, and Emma-Rose may be behind it. Evening puts this out of her mind and begins her summer internship project: To simulate the creation of the perfect boy. With the help of Solo, Evening uncovers secrets so big they could change the world completely.
Oh dear I loved this book!!!!!! Let me count the ways. One,
it was told in multiple POV’s (which I love). Two, it was set in a city near
and dear to my heart (San Francisco and the surrounding areas).Three, the main
female character was just pure awesome! She was a rich girl that I didn’t hate.
She had spunk and didn’t fall for a guy just because he was hot. She was picky,
really picky kind of like me. Three, the main male character had the coolest
name ever!!!! Solo Plissken (hello Star Wars/Escape From New York mash-up! Thanks Rachel for the Star Wars reminder lol) oh
and he’s this kind of surfer dude with piercing blue eyes and a I don’t give a
eff attitude that I adored! Four, they mention the bands Rancid and the Pixies(which happens
to be a couple favorites of mine). Five, it’s sci-fi but not far off into space or the
future sci-fi; its stuff that could be (and probably is) happening in the world
today!
Ok so yeah after that ramble what else do I have to tell you?
Eve gets to create a boy! And OMG that boy is perfect! Actually too perfect for
my tastes but I’m sure some of you will fall for the super model, crowd stopping, panty dropping looks; with the dark hair, perfectly sculpted body, and blue eyes… yeah ok went off into dreamland there for a
minute lol. But anyways this story rocks! There’s mystery and danger and a
scientist who looks more like he should be in a punk band than in a lab, and a
bunch of other stuff I could mention but I won’t because I’d start to ramble
and that would not be cool. And I may spoil something. So just trust me when I
say go buy this book when it comes out! I cannot wait to get my hands on book 2
Adam & Eve!
I chose a passage which was really hard because I had about
20 bookmarked but, I kept going back to the sleep drool one because it’s from
Solo and it’s so damned cute and funny. So here you go!
Eve looks about like I
probably looked twenty minutes ago. Like she can only open one eye. And there’s
possible drool in the corner of her mouth.
Why do I find that kind of
hot? Seriously. Sleep drool.
She sits up. She’s wearing
a too-small t-shirt. Her hair is all on side of her head.
Her eyes widen. She barely
notices me. Aislin staggers over to the bed and just sort of melts into her
arms. It’s a long hug. I stand in the doorway, staring at my feet.
I’m thinking it’s time for
me to sneak away quietly when Eve looks at me over Aislin’s shoulder, frowns,
and jerks her head a little, indicating that I should come in.
I do. Feeling like I’m
entering the Holy of Holies.
Oh my god. I’ve never been
in a girl’s room before. It smells different in here. It smells good.
Still, the realization is
disheartening somehow. All of this is new to me. Including the acknowledgement
that it’s all new to me.
Man I love that guy! There were so many other scenes I could
have shared but I hope that tempts you into getting this book! Because trust me
people you will not regret it!
Make sure you pre-order it and add it to your goodreads lists! Oh and check out the trailer it rocks!!! :)
