Waiting on Wednesday {27} Prophecy and Mind Games


"Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, Hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.  I'm extremely excited for both of these books and have had them on my wish list for a while.


Prophecy (Prophecy, # 1)PROPHECY
By Ellen Oh
Publisher Harper Teen
Release Date January 2nd 2013

The greatest warrior in all of the Seven Kingdoms... is a girl with yellow eyes.

Kira’s the only female in the king’s army, and the prince’s bodyguard. She’s a demon slayer and an outcast, hated by nearly everyone in her home city of Hansong. And, she’s their only hope...

Murdered kings and discovered traitors point to a demon invasion, sending Kira on the run with the young prince. He may be the savior predicted in the Dragon King Prophecy, but the missing treasure of myth may be the true key. With only the guidance of the cryptic prophecy, Kira must battle demon soldiers, evil shaman, and the Demon Lord himself to find what was once lost and raise a prince into a king.

Intrigue and mystery, ancient lore and action-packed fantasy come together in this heart-stopping first book in a trilogy.


Mind Games (Mind Games, #1)
MIND GAMES
By Kiersten White
Publisher: Harper Teen
Release Date February 19th 2013

Fia was born with flawless instincts. Her first impulse, her gut feeling, is always exactly right. Her sister, Annie, is blind to the world around her—except when her mind is gripped by strange visions of the future.

Trapped in a school that uses girls with extraordinary powers as tools for corporate espionage, Annie and Fia are forced to choose over and over between using their abilities in twisted, unthinkable ways…or risking each other’s lives by refusing to obey.

In a stunning departure from her New York Times bestselling Paranormalcy trilogy, Kiersten White delivers a slick, edgy, heartstoppingly intense psychological thriller about two sisters determined to protect each other—no matter the cost.

    I chose Mind Games as my WOW a few weeks ago. the cover is so gorgeous and I love Kiersten White's 'Paranormalcy' series, so can't wait to see how she does sci-fi. I also am interested in Prophecy, I love fantasy book with a strong female main character and this sounds just like that! Waaah, great picks this week!
