This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
A Beautiful Evil (Gods & Monsters #2) by Kelly Keaton
Expected publication: February 21st 2012
Myth and mayhem inhabit a richly reimagined New Orleans in this sequel to Darkness Becomes Her.After the epic graveyard battle at the end of Darkness Becomes Her, Ari and her friends know what they’re up against: Ari is facing the Medusa curse and is haunted by the image of what she will become. To make matters worse, the heinous goddess Athena has kidnapped young Violet and is threatening to destroy Ari.
Ari, along with the superhot Sebastian, is doing everything she can to learn more about Athena and to get Violet back. But the battle of good and evil is bigger than she realizes, and she’s about to be pulled into a world more horrific than she could ever imagine...
I loved everything about Darkness Becomes Her and so can't wait to dive back into the world of a mixture of paranormals with Ari. I have a feeling that this one is going to be more of an adventure than the last one, and if so then it's going to be great! Plus, I can't wait to read more Sebastian!

Fever (The Chemical Garden #2) by Lauren DeStefano
Expected publication: February 21st 2012
Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but danger is never far behind.
Running away brings Rhine and Gabriel right into a trap, in the form of a twisted carnival whose ringmistress keeps watch over a menagerie of girls. Just as Rhine uncovers what plans await her, her fortune turns again. With Gabriel at her side, Rhine travels through an environment as grim as the one she left a year ago - surroundings that mirror her own feelings of fear and hopelessness.
The two are determined to get to Manhattan, to relative safety with Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan. But the road there is long and perilous - and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and young men die at twenty-five, time is precious. Worse still, they can’t seem to elude Rhine’s father-in-law, Vaughn, who is determined to bring Rhine back to the mansion...by any means necessary.
In the sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price - now that she has more to lose than ever.
Wither was one of my all time favorite dystopian novels and I seriously can't wait to see where the story goes. I'm also looking forward to finally seeing more interaction between Rhine and Gabriel. The world that Lauren DeStefano created in Wither sounds like it's going to evolve a lot in this one, so it's super exciting to be able to read it soon!
