Title: Grace
Author: Elizabeth Scott
Publisher: Dutton, 208 Pages (September 16th 2010)
Preorder here: Amazon, Borders, Barns and Noble, The Book Depository

Synopsis: A fable of a terrifying near future by critically acclaimed author Elizabeth Scott.

Grace was raised to be an Angel, a herald of death by suicide bomb. But she refuses to die for the cause, and now Grace is on the run, daring to dream of freedom. In search of a border she may never reach, she travels among malevolent soldiers on a decrepit train crawling through the desert. Accompanied by the mysterious Kerr, Grace struggles to be invisible, but the fear of discovery looms large as she recalls the history and events that delivered her uncertain fate.

Told in spare, powerful prose, this tale of a dystopian near future will haunt readers long after they've reached the final page.
WOW, this book sounds strong and powerful.... emotional and, yeah,  more then amazing. I can't wait to read it.

She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance—even her closest friends... more Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a bit of a wicked streak. She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance—even her closest friends—and it seems her senior year will be more of the same...until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can't seem to stay away from him. What she doesn't know is that Luc works in Acquisitions—for Hell—and she possesses a unique skill set that has the King of Hell tingling with anticipation. All Luc has to do is get her to sin, and he’s as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn’t stand a chance.

Unfortunately for Luc, Heaven has other plans, and the angel, Gabe, is going to do whatever it takes to make sure that Luc doesn’t get what he came for. And it isn't long before they find themselves fighting for more than just her soul. But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay…for all of them.
 
This is one of my MUST read books. Along with pretty much everything else I feature in my weekly WoW's. I just REALLY cant wait for this one and thankfully the wait is almost over. Oh, I just can't wait - it sounds like a book I will more then LOVE! Who else is looking forward to either of these books?

Title: Through Her Eyes
Author: Jennifer Archer
Publisher: HarperTeen, 240 Pages (April 1st 2011)
Preorder here: Amazon, Borders, Barns and Noble, The Book Depository

Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Tansy Piper moves with her grandfather and her mother, a horror writer, to the setting of her mother's next book--a secluded house outside of a tiny, desolate West Texas town. Lonely and upset over the move, Tansy escapes into her photography and the dark, seductive poems she finds hidden in the cellar, both of which lure her into the mind and world of a mysterious, troubled young man who died sixty years earlier.

I really can't wait to check out this title! The cover is so beautiful and the story sounds like something I'd love. Anyone else looking forward to this 2011 title as much as I am?
