Books:

The Wicked King (The folk of Air #2) by Holly Black

The second installment to the Cruel Prince series continues Jude’s story, dealing with Cardan and the rest or the Faerie world that Holly Black has built. I have not yet read the first book, but because this series is so highly rated and a New York Times Bestselling series, I’m excited to start reading.

Release Date: January 8th

An Anonymous Girl  by Greer Hendricks

“Seeking women ages 18–32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed.” Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study by Dr. Fields. She thinks it will be quick, but as the questions become more and more invasive, she begins to suspect that Dr. Fields knows what she’s hiding. Her paranoia grows, and she no longer knows what to believe during these manipulative experiments, or how much he knows.

The Gilded Wolves (The Gilded Wolves #1) by Roshani Chokshi

In 1889 Paris, Séverine Montagnet-Alaire, a treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier, is offered his true inheritance for help to find an ancient artifact by a powerful society called the Order of Babel. With help from “An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian who can’t yet go home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in all but blood, who might care too much.” (Goodreads.com) they could hunt this artifact down.
