Wayfarer (passenger 2) - Alexandra Bracken - 12th January
This is a sequel to Alexandra Bracken's Passenger. To my knowledge this is a duology so, sadly, this will be the last installment. This is an amazing duology about time travel and mystery in which Etta has to travel across the world in different time periods in order to track down a mystical object that will save her mum.

No one has ever seen a creature like this before, because there's never been a creature like this before. The animal--Marvin Gardens--soon becomes Obe's best friend and biggest secret.

But when the world around him begins to spiral toward panic and destruction, Noah discovers that people have been lying to him his whole life. Everything changes in an eye blink.

A Court of Wings and Ruin (acotar 3) - Sarah J Maas - 2nd May
I don't know what more I can say about this that hasn't already been said. This is the third book of A Court of Thorns and Roses. I am currently halfway through the second book and I have loved every page. Amazing characters, plot twists, suspense, humour and carries a mature approach to PTSD.

Kill all Happies - Rachel Cohn - 2nd May
Last Call at Happies! Tonight, 8 P.M. Senior Class Only! Please with the Shhhh .
This is it. Graduation. And Vic Navarro is throwing the most epic party Rancho Soldado has ever seen. She's going to pull off the most memorable good-bye ever for her best friends, give Happies-the kitschy restaurant that is her desert town's claim to fame-a proper send-off into bankruptcy, and oh yes, hook up with her delicious crush, Jake Zavala-Kim. She only needs to keep the whole thing a secret so that her archnemesis, Miss Ann Thrope, Rancho Soldado's nightmare Town Councilwoman and high school Economics teacher, doesn't get Vic tossed in jail.
With the music thumping, alcohol flowing, bodies mashing, and Thrope nowhere to be seen, Vic's party is a raging success. That is, until Happies fans start arriving in droves to say good-bye, and storm the deserted theme park behind the restaurant. Suddenly what was a small graduation bash is more like Coachella on steroids with a side of RASmatazz pie. The night is so not going as planned. And maybe that's the best plan of all.

Sixteen-year-old Tatum Elsea is bracing for the worst summer of her life. After being falsely accused of a crime, she’s stuck under stepmother-imposed house arrest and her BFF’s gone ghost.

Equipped with a new perspective, and assisted by her feisty step-abuela-slash-fairy-godmother, Tatum is ready to start fresh and maybe even get her happy ending along the way.

There Is Someone Inside Your House - Stephanie Perkins
This is a standalone horror novel which is weird for me as I have only read 'Lola and the boy next door' By Stephanie Perkins. I don't know anymore about this book as no blurb/ synopsis has been released. I don't know If I will be reading this personally as horror isn't one of my favourite genres (honestly horror scares me way too much - I am weak ok I'm sorry!)

Every Day #3 - David Levithan
Ok David, I like your other work but what is this? Another Day wasn't needed and I swear if this book isn't a continuation of where Every Day ended then I am going to be a very unhappy bunny. Every Day is about someone who wakes up in a different body every day and then falls in love with a girl. In each life he wakes up in his sole objective is to find this girl. I personally enjoyed this first book so I would really like this third book to do that one justice.

Helix (Replica 2) - Lauren Oliver
If you haven't heard of Replica then WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? It can be read three different ways to produce three different interpretations of the story. This is the story of two clones (orphan black anyone?) and how they live. I have to admit that I don't know much more than that and honestly I don't want to as I want this book (and the sequel) to be a mystery.

One Dark Throne - Kendare Blake
This is the sequel to Three Dark Crowns. Long story short (because this seems like one hell of an intense novel and I am EXCITED) Three sisters are fighting for one throne.
