Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings,
to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet
to read. It's
based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Ready or not, the game has begun.
Genevieve
Grimm has felt adrift ever since her sister became the head of the
family. So when a mysterious friend of their mother's invites her to
Italy, she accepts. She arrives at his grand palace, expecting passion
and magic, decadence and luxury... perhaps even a midnight ball.
She
doesn't expect the owner's ruthlessly handsome son to slam the door in
her face. Rowin Silver is tall, dark, and exceptionally rude, and
invitation or not, he demands Genevieve leave and never come back. But
Genevieve follows nobody's orders, especially those of arrogant rich
boys. She slips inside—and immediately discovers her mistake.
Rowin
and his family are caught in an insidious game of hide and seek, where
only one can win. The rest will be trapped in Hell... until the
competition begins again.
Genevieve must either join the hunt or
forfeit any hope of escaping. But to her dismay, her best chance of
survival lies with Rowin. Since lovers may play as a pair, Rowin and
Genevieve agree to form an alliance under the guise of a fake courtship.
However, as they race through the game's elaborate labyrinth, trapped
among gleaming gold and shining marble, their loathing gives way to
irresistible attraction. Only Rowin is keeping secrets, especially when
it comes to his ruthless family, and Genevieve can't help but wonder if
she's trapped in two treacherous games: Enchantra and the one Rowin is
playing with her heart.
I STILL need to read Phantasma but I've got a good feeling about this series! The covers alone have me with heart eyes! They sound incredible too! So hopefully I can up the first one in my TBR pile soon--unless I did already because I'm writing this post pretty well in advance! Lol.

Lose
yourself in this exhilarating return to the #1 global bestselling
Shatter Me universe, the first book in a new series set ten years after
the fall of The Reestablishment.
James Anderson had a
plan. Or half of one. All that matters is that he managed to do what his
older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate
Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. In the past decade
no outsider has breached the stronghold of the authoritarian regime, but
James is in. In a prison cell, sure, but as far as James is concerned, a
win is a win.
It’s been ten years since the fall of The
Reestablishment. Ten years since the notorious duo — Juliette Ferrars
and Aaron Warner Anderson — led a worldwide rebellion and established
the New Republic of the West. But after a decade of unsettling quiet,
The Reestablishment is ready to make a devastating move, and they have
the perfect person for the job.
Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. She
always has a plan. On Ark Island, where constant surveillance is
packaged as security, even emotions must be experienced with caution. A
trained assassin, her every movement is monitored by synthetic
intelligence—and when she’s given an order to kill, she never hesitates.
Brimming
with pulse-pounding action and torturous romance, Watch Me is an
explosive journey through a dystopian landscape where enemies-to-lovers
has never felt more impossible. Step into a beloved and breathtaking
world that demands an answer to a desperate question—
Who are we when no one is watching?
Excited for this new book in the Shatter Me universe! I'm kind of glad it will focus on new characters though as I felt like things ended in a good place for Juliette and her crew. Of course, I've got a fuzzy memory on it all at the moment! Lol. But yes, definitely can't wait to read this one!
