Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:

Scan
Sarah Fine, Walter Jury
Series: Scan #1
Publication date: May 1st 2014
by Putnam Children’s
Tate and his father don’t exactly get along. As Tate sees it, his father has unreasonably high expectations for Tate to be the best—at everything. Tate finally learns what he’s being prepared for when he steals one of his dad’s odd tech inventions and mercenaries ambush the school, killing his father in the process and sending Tate on the run from aliens who look just like humans.
All Tate knows–like how to make weapons out of oranges and lighter fluid–may not be enough to save him as he’s plunged into a secret inter-species conflict that’s been going on for centuries. Aided only by his girlfriend and his estranged mother, with powerful enemies closing in on all sides, Tate races to puzzle out the secret behind his father’s invention and why so many are willing to kill for it. A riveting, fast-paced adventure, Scan is a clever alien thriller with muscle and heart.

Amy @ Book Loving Mom
Lots of releases this week. I have a few that I need to post my reviews for, and a few more that still need to be read. Total fail!! I got really behind.
Pili
The book I’m most excited about for next week is Sweet Reckoning!! I cannot wait to get my preordered copies!!
I’m thinking I might also get me a copy of Tease and The Taking.
Tammy @ Books, Bones & Buffy
I just finished SCAN and really loved it! It’s the start of the series, which is a little frustrating because it kind of ends on a cliff hanger. But totally fun to read anyway:-)
Mel@thedailyprophecy
No interesting books for me this week. I hated Tease, but I did like The Taking. The only thing I want to look for is In the shadows 🙂
Amanda @ Book Badger
Genuinely so jealous that everyone gets Sweet Reckoning before the UK, it comes out on the 22nd for us here, it’s pretty crappy. Hope everyone enjoys it 🙂
Juhina
so many fantastic books! I’ve read two on this list.. and one that caught my eyes is The Drowning.. *goodreads it up immediately*

Scan looks awesome! Added!
Jenny @ Reading on the Farm
I am super excited for Nash and In the Shadows. I had a chance to see some of the artwork from In the Shadows and it is absolutely gorgeous! Great post 🙂
Eileen @ Singing and Reading in the Rain
Ugh I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t like Sweet Reckoning! I’m still excited for it to come out, though, but I’m really looking forward to see how the general public will react to it 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Giselle! <33
Savannah
Lots of cool new books on the shelves!!
