TITLE: Chasing Shadows
SYNOPSIS: Before: Corey, Holly, and Savitri are one unit—fast, strong, inseparable. Together they turn Chicago concrete and asphalt into a freerunner’s jungle gym, ricocheting off walls, scaling buildings, leaping from rooftops to rooftop.
But acting like a superhero doesn’t make you bulletproof…
After: Holly and Savitri are coming unglued. Holly says she’s chasing Corey’s killer, chasing revenge. Savitri fears Holly’s just running wild—and leaving her behind. Friends should stand by each other in times of crisis. But can you hold on too tight? Too long?
In this intense novel, Swati Avasthi creates a gripping portrait of two girls teetering on the edge of grief and insanity. Two girls who will find out just how many ways there are to lose a friend…and how many ways to be lost.
Okay, I have another book YOU should be waiting on. Yes, I said you. I’m not waiting for this because I already have it. And let me tell you, it is good! Just thought I should spread the word…
TITLE: Witchstruck
AUTHOR: Victoria Lamb
SERIES: The Tudor Witch Trilogy #1
PUBLICATION DATE: September 24, 2013
SYNOPSIS: If she sink, she be no witch and shall be drowned.
If she float, she be a witch and must be hanged.
Meg Lytton has always known she is different—that she bears a dark and powerful gift. But in 1554 England, in service at Woodstock Palace to the banished Tudor princess Elizabeth, it has never been more dangerous to practise witchcraft. Meg knows she must guard her secret carefully from the many suspicious eyes watching over the princess and her companions. One wrong move could mean her life, and the life of Elizabeth, rightful heir to the English throne.
With witchfinder Marcus Dent determined to have Meg’s hand in marriage, and Meg’s own family conspiring against the English queen, there isn’t a single person Meg can trust. Certainly not the enigmatic young Spanish priest Alejandro de Castillo, despite her undeniable feelings. But when all the world turns against her, Meg must open her heart to a dangerous choice.
The Secret Circle meets The Other Boleyn Girl in Witchstruck, the first book of the magical Tudor Witch trilogy.

I’ve been curious about both of these, especially Chasing Shadows. Great picks 🙂

My WW!
Sounds awesome! I’ve read The Witch of Blackbird Pond, which sounds similar (except it was written ages ago) and I adored that.
My WoW!
I love the author of Chasing Shadows. Split is probably my all-time favorite contemporary. Her writing is just beyond amazing, so I’m definitely looking forward to this one too.
Wow, these both sound really good. Witchstruck sounds like something that’s right up my alley! Thanks for sharing!
