A Court of Thorns and Roses
Series: A Court of Thorns and Roses #1
Publication date: May 5th 2015
by Bloomsbury Children’s
A thrilling, seductive new series from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, blending Beauty and the Beast with faerie lore.
When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin—one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world.
As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow grows over the faerie lands, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.
Perfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R. R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!

WOW! That is a lot of good looking (and sounding) books! I haven’t heard of a lot of these so thanks for the list, my TBR shelf just went up 🙂
I’m mostly excited for A Court of Thorns and Roses out of all of these… but The Novice and The Heir come in second and third :)!

Ahh, May is just the month of amazing books! I’ve already read and loved ACOTAR, Crimson Bound and Halfway Perfect! <3 I read (and didn't love) The Summer After You and Me. But I'm totally looking forward to The Fill-in Boyfriend and Undertow. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Giselle!
Jeann @ Happy Indulgence
Such a big release week, definitely ACOTAR is the big exciting one! I’m looking forward to Crimson Bound as well, since I loved the first one, and Saint Anything sounds like it’d be a great breezy one. Wonderful post Giselle!

A court of thorns and roses, YEAY. I think everybody is waiting for that one 🙂
I liked Crimson bound and I can’t wait to get a finished copy.
ISLES OF THE LOST. Another book I want to get in my hands as soon as possible.
Kayla @ The Thousand Lives
Eeee I really want Crimson Bound but I’ve already read it and with how many books that are being released this month, I may just wait to ask for it for my birthday!
