Flavor of the week:

Uninvited
Sophie Jordan
Series: Uninvited #1
Publication date: January 28th 2014
by HarperTeen
The Scarlet Letter meets Minority Report in bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s chilling new novel about a teenage girl who is ostracized when her genetic test proves she’s destined to become a murderer.
When Davy Hamilton’s tests come back positive for Homicidal Tendency Syndrome (HTS)-aka the kill gene-she loses everything. Her boyfriend ditches her, her parents are scared of her, and she can forget about her bright future at Juilliard. Davy doesn’t feel any different, but genes don’t lie. One day she will kill someone.
Only Sean, a fellow HTS carrier, can relate to her new life. Davy wants to trust him; maybe he’s not as dangerous as he seems. Or maybe Davy is just as deadly.
The first in a two-book series, Uninvited tackles intriguing questions about free will, identity, and human nature. Steeped in New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan’s trademark mix of gripping action and breathless romance, this suspenseful tale is perfect for fans of James Patterson, Michelle Hodkin, and Lisa McMann.

It looks like a good week! I have Infinite on pre-order, but there’s a bunch more I want to get my hands on, but will have to wait. 🙂
Amanda @ Book Badger
This is a very good week for new releases! Sadly I can’t buy any, but I know there’s a few I shan’t be buying; And We Stay and Anything to Have You, just because I didn’t enjoy them enough.
Amy
I’m really looking forward to the realise of This Star Won’t Go Out 🙂 great post!
Amy @ Book Loving Mom
There are some great books coming out! I still have to post my review for Uninvited. I also need to still read Seeking Her. It’s short so I should be able to get through it in a night. I don’t have any of the others for review, but I do want to get Timestorm. (Probably on audiobook.)
Kristin@Blood,Sweat and Books
Some great books releasing this week. I’m looking forward to Red Rising and will be picking up finished copies of Her Dark Curiosity and Cruel Beauty since I enjoyed both of those so much.

Into The Still Blue and Uninvited I have preordered!! I also have Infinite preordered, but since I won a paper ARC I’ve already read it, so I’m not dying so much to re-read it as I am to read the first two!
