Flavor of the week:

The Conspiracy of Us
Maggie Hall
Publication date: January 13th 2015
by Putnam Juvenile
To fight her destiny as the missing heir to a powerful and dangerous secret society, sixteen-year-old Avery West must solve an ancient puzzle in a deadly race across Europe. Forbidden love and code-breaking, masked balls and explosions, destiny and dark secrets collide in this romantic thriller, in the vein of a YA DaVinci Code.
Avery West’s newfound family can shut down Prada at the Champs-Elysees when they want to shop in peace, and can just as easily order a bombing when they want to start a war.
They are part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle of Twelve, and Avery is their missing heir. If they discover who she is, some of them will want to use her as a pawn. Some will want her dead.
To thwart their plans, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the landmarks of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul and through a web of ancient legends and lies. And unless she can stay one step ahead of beautiful, volatile Stellan, who knows sheβs more than she seems, and can decide whether to trust mysterious, magnetic Jack, she may be doomed after all.

I’m intrigued by The Girl on the Train. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Great list. Have a good week.

I’m really looking forward to The Devil You Know, Girl on The Train, and The Darkest Part of the Forest! I’ve never read a Holly Black book before, but I’ve heard good things about her on BookTube so I’ll definitely be picking up a copy of the latter π
Kayla @ The Thousand Lives
I’ve already preordered The Darkest Part of the Forest – I can’t wait to get my hands on the finished version! I might even need a reread of it π

A great week of books. I’m so excited for so many of these. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing this week that I want to get, but I have some books that came out last month and before that I still need to get, so that’s probably a good thing. π
Jeann @ Happy Indulgence
Phew, no books I have to review this week! I’ve heard interesting things about Darkest Parts of the Forest, though. Great releases!
Raquel
I can’t wait for Saint Odd! I have also recently learned a lot about The Girl on the Train and am highly intrigued, since I loved Gone Girl I kind of want to read another one like it.
