Intrinsical by Lani Woodland
From Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old Yara Silva has always known that ghosts walk alongside the living. Her grandma, like the other females in her family, is a Waker, someone who can see and communicate with ghosts. Yara grew up watching her grandmother taunted and scorned for this unusual ability and doesn't want that to be her future. She has been dreading the day when she too would see ghosts, and is relieved that the usually dominant Waker gene seems to have skipped her, letting her live a normal teenage life. However, all that changes for Yara on her first day at her elite boarding school when she discovers the gene was only lying dormant. She witnesses a dark mist attack Brent, a handsome fellow student, and rushes to his rescue. Her act of heroism draws the mist's attention, and the dark spirit begins stalking her. Yara finds herself entrenched in a sixty-year-old curse that haunts the school, threatening not only her life, but the lives of her closest friends as well. Yara soon realizes that the past she was trying to put behind her isn't going to go quietly.The Iron Duke by Melijean Brook
From Goodreads:
First in an all-new series where seductive danger and steampunk adventure abound in the gritty world of the Iron Seas.
After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Now Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire on the power-and fear-of his name. And when a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession.
But when Mina uncovers the victim's identity, she stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. To save them, Mina and Rhys must race across zombie-infested wastelands and treacherous oceans-and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her countrymen, as she finds herself tempted to give up everything to the Iron Duke.Okay, I'm probably one of the few who hasn't read The Iron Duke and I want to be one of you! ;) Seriously, it just sounds good. Enough of my wants... what is yours this week?
I like the look of The Iron Duke - I've seen quite a few positive reviews about this one - adding to my list right now :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read The Iron Duke yet either - but really want too! Definitely one for my list as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI have Intrinsical on my list too. It sounds great. I'm not sure about the Iron Duke. I haven't read many reviews on it.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a tour for Intrinsical and I have The Iron Duke on my Nook but I haven't read it yet, so your not alone on that one.

"Intrinsical" sounds great (must add to list)! Hopefully, though, the mist isn't like those darn (and slightly frustrating) shadows in "Fallen" and "Torment" by Lauren Kate...
ReplyDeleteAnd as for "The Iron Duke"?!? I haven't decided if I am into the whole steampunk scene... I will have to check it out and form an opinion.
Have a great weekend!
