I hate waiting...
When Rachelle was fifteen she was good—apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless— straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Rachelle is forced to make a terrible choice that binds her to the very evil she had hoped to defeat.
Three years later, Rachelle has given her life to serving the realm, fighting deadly creatures in an effort to atone. When the king orders her to guard his son Armand—the man she hates most—Rachelle forces Armand to help her find the legendary sword that might save their world. As the two become unexpected allies, they uncover far-reaching conspiracies, hidden magic, and a love that may be their undoing. In a palace built on unbelievable wealth and dangerous secrets, can Rachelle discover the truth and stop the fall of endless night?
Inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is an exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption.
(This is a standalone novel, not part of the Cruel Beauty Universe.)
So cannot wait for this one! Still a little shocked we're not in the same world! The cover has the same look about it, hence why I thought it was, but then there's that disclaimer! LOL! Still can't wait to read it though!! :D

End of Days is the explosive conclusion to Susan Ee’s bestselling Penryn & the End of Days trilogy.
After a daring escape from the angels, Penryn and Raffe are on the run. They’re both desperate to find a doctor who can reverse the twisted changes inflicted by the angels on Raffe and Penryn’s sister. As they set off in search of answers, a startling revelation about Raffe’s past unleashes dark forces that threaten them all.
When the angels release an apocalyptic nightmare onto humans, both sides are set on a path toward war. As unlikely alliances form and strategies shift, who will emerge victorious? Forced to pick sides in the fight for control of the earthly realm, Raffe and Penryn must choose: Their own kind, or each other?

I really need to read the Penryn & the End of Days books. I have the first one. I've been meaning to read them for along time and I don't know why I haven't dropped everything to start them since people seem to be in love with them. At least I won't have to wait for all the books to be released. I'm looking forward to reading Crimson Bound, too. Great picks!

ReplyDeleteI have Crimson Bound to review, I wasn't a huge fan of her first novel but this one sounds cool so I am hoping I like it more..I do like to give authors more than one try. :) That other series you mentioned I have the first two books but haven't read them.

I started the first End of Days books but for some reason got sidetracked. I want to try to catch up so I can read them back to back. I haven't been able to do that in a long time.
