C'mon. Let's all be honest. Along with wanting an awesome plot and character development, most of us want a little steam as well. Each and every Saturday, I will admit this too by posting a "Witch-Kissed Wish-List" that will include the following:
- Five YA Fiction Books from any genre.
- Can be books that have already or have not come out yet, just as long as they are on my to-be-read pile.
- Will be five books that 'lure' me in with a promise of plot, character development, and of course... STEAM.
This Weeks Witch-Kissed Wish-List
Title: Teach Me
Author: R.A. Nelson
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 22nd, 2007 by Razorbill
Number of Pages: 272
Ah, forbidden romance. Don't lie. It seduces all of us. I hope the tale in this book will too with the story of teacher-student love affair.
Title: Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy #1)
Author: Wendy Higgins
Genre: YA Paranormal Angels/Demons Romance
Release Date: May 1st, 2012 by HarperTeen

"Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha-gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?..." Ummm... Kiss him.
Title: Compulsion (The Heirs of Watson Island #1)
Author: Martina Boone
Genre: YA Paranormal Southern-Gothic Romance
Release Date: October 28th, 2014 by Simon Pulse
Number of Pages: 433
Take the setting of a southern plantation, add a 'star-crossed' romance, add a little gothic atmosphere, and with a paranormal twist. Shut up, just shut up, shut up.
Title: A Thousand Nights
Author: E.K. Johnson
Genre: YA Fantasy Fairy-Tale Retelling
Release Date: October 6th, 2015 by Disney Hyperion
Number of Pages: 336
First of all, I swoon because of that cover. Second, I'm a complete sucker for fairy-tale retellings. And third, what a beautiful premise of a story-tellers forced marriage to a king that (hopefully) develops into a hate to love relationship. In this type of love story, the STEAM comes from the epic-ness.
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Genre: YA Historical Time-Travel Romance
Release Date: January 5th, 2016 by Disney Hyperion
Number of Pages: 464
FML folks. That is a long freaking wait. Taking a trip back in time to 1776, a violinist named Etta ends up having to make a long journey to find a lost item, finding clues along the way. Okay. A historical hunk, an on-the-road journey, and lots of danger. Yup. I'll be dying by next January.
That's it folks! Let me know what you think and if any of these are on your wish list!!!
Ahh this is such a fabulous meme! :) I'm so excited for both A Thousand Nights and Passenger, and I'm really hoping for a lot of steam with those two. ;) Especially with A Thousand Nights, because the hate-to-love trope is a favorite of mine! ^_^
