“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine.
My pick for this week is:
by Marianne de Pierres
October 3rd 2011 by Random House
Retra – now called Naif – has escaped from Ixion, the island of ever-night. She doesn’t know if her friends on the island survived the battle between the Ripers and the rebels. But she does know that she must return home, behind the sealed walls of Grave, to find out why the Ripers have been seen there talking to the councillors. What links the two worlds?
First she must convince Ruzalia to help her. The fierce pirate captain saves those who face terrible fates on Ixion, but that doesn’t guarantee their gratitude. Instead, she faces a revolt – and Naif is caught in the middle.
Naif will need all her courage to survive. For Lenoir, who wants to keep her safe, for her friends Suki and Rollo, if they live, for Markes, who has secrets of his own, and for the new friends she will make on this journey.
The fate of worlds depends on it.
I’m halfway through Burn Bright, and I already know I want the next book. The world of Burn Bright and Ixion is fascinating, terrifying and extremely original. Loving Retra. Plus, there are pirates, and a cute boy who plays guitar. So there ya go. That’s why I want it.
What are you waiting on?

Hello! Nice to meet you! Thanks for the follow. The Night Creatures books are Australian. However, I found the first book available as an EBOOK through the Australian bookseller’s Dymocks. It’s almost double the price of a Kindle book, but if you’re just dying to read it….it is available in that format for North American readers
Burn Bright EBOOK @ Dymocks
Okay, so I havent read the first book, but this one has a gorgeous cover!
The cover for this one is really nice! Angel Arias- pirate captains? I’m in
You can find my WoW here.
Hmm I haven’t heard of this one, but the cover is definitely eye-catching. I’ll have to read your review once you get it and see if it’s a good one
I’ve never heard of this author/series. It looks like it might be pretty good. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by The Bookish Babes!
Wow, this really sounds intriguing. I should take a look at the first book! Thanks for sharing.
