Wake by Amanda Hocking
This book has no blurb, and as such I have NO IDEA what it is about. Mermaids maybe?!

Obsidian Mirror by Catherine Fisher
Jake's father disappears while working on mysterious experiments with the recluse Oberon Venn - and Jake is convinced that Venn has murdered him.
But the truth is far stranger...
Jake is sucked into Venn's fixations about re-entering the past and changing it, with people pursuing him through time, and with a tribe of untrustworthy elemental beings filled with hate for humans.
But regardless of terrible danger, Jake is determined to use the Obsidian Mirror and learn what really happened to his father.

Now THAT sounds like a book about Time Travel I can get behind. I hate to say this but for me Time Travel usally falls woefully short in books in comparaison to film and TV counterparts for me. But The Obsidian Mirror definitely sounds like my kind of speed, especially if it's written by Catherine Fisher.
ReplyDeleteOooh, you got some good books! I looove the cover for Wake!
ReplyDeleteI also have Turf and Fire City and can't wait to read them both!
Hope you enjoy your new reads!
