City of Heavenly Fire Cover Reveal!

Yesterday the cover for the final novel in Cassandra Clare's bestselling series, The Mortal Instruments, was revealed!

I really like the cover! It shows Clary from the back and a dark figure behind her, most likely Sebastian/Jonathan (correct me if I'm wrong). The Mortal Instruments definitely don't have the most attractive covers of any series, and the models used on the covers can often look corny and overly photoshopped. However, this cover doesn't show clear faces, which just makes it... cleaner. I love the Sebastian character, he looks evil and foreboding on the cover, and is a clear difference from all the previous covers. Clary is in quite a weak position from the back, so who knows, maybe this final book will follow in Allegiant's footsteps? The runes on her body look great, but don't match with the runes shown in the film, not that that's a problem. Also they've finally replaced the good old Stephenie Meyer quote on the front. Overall, I think the cover is great, and is making me super excited for the book to be released. This will look awesome on my bookshelf with all the other books!

City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
Expected Publication Date: 27th May 2014

Most anticipated books of 2014!

So as it comes to the end of 2013, I'm looking at all the new books that will be appearing on my bookshelf and wishing the time would pass quicker. So, for your viewing pleasure, I have compiled a list of my most anticipated books which will be released (some time) in 2014! Start counting down the days...

Silver Shadows (Bloodlines #5) by Richelle Mead

Expected Publication Date: July 29th 2014*

Official Cover

The fifth book in the Bloodlines series, which is a spin off of the Vampire Academy series, will be released next year, and I can't wait. This series just gets better and better. After the cliffhanger of Fiery Heart, I can't wait to get my hands on this one, so many Sydrian feels! Just ignore the tacky and ugly cover.

City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments #6) by Cassandra Clare

Expected Publication Date: May 27th 2014*

Placeholder Cover

Do people still care about Clary and Jace? Who cares. This is the final (FINAL) book in Cassandra Clare's amazing and ground breaking series (only in that it gave us The Infernal Devices and Will and Jem), and no matter who you are, you will be itching to finish this series. I assume something will happen with Sebastian and all loose ends will be tied blah blah blah. But who really cares about that? JEM AND TESSA WILL BE IN IT. (I know you may have been confused by the use of 'WILL' in that sentence, the tears will never stop falling). I love all the crossovers with this series and TID, and that is all I want to read in this book. Bring on Jessa feels and The Dark Artifices! 

The One (The Selection #3) by Kiera Cass

Expected Publication Date: May 6th 2014*

Official Cover

After the somewhat disappointing sequel The Elite, hopefully Kiera Cass can bring it all home in her final book in The Selection Trilogy. Entitled 'The One' it is pretty safe to say that America will end up being the Princess of Illea, married to the perfect Maxon. But there are many loose ends to tie up. What is the point of the rebels? What will happen with Aspen? And what is up with America's father? The lack of world building, especially to do with the Northern and Southern rebels in the first two books will have to be thoroughly explained and dealt with, in order to make this the perfect ending to a series with so much potential. Can America stop being so annoying (i.e. The Elite) and face her feelings without ruining everything? Will definitely be reading to find out!
