2. Miss Mayhem by Rachel Hawkins
Miss Mayhem is
the sequel to wildly popular Rebel Belle, which I loved click here to read my
review on it.
Goodreads
Summary: Life is almost back to normal for Harper Price. The
Ephors have been silent after their deadly attack at Cotillion months ago, and
best friend Bee has returned after a mysterious disappearance. Now Harper can
return her focus to the important things in life: school, canoodling with
David, her nemesis-turned-ward-slash-boyfie, and even competing in the Miss
Pine Grove pageant.
Unfortunately, supernatural chores are never done. The Ephors have decided they’d rather train David than kill him. The catch: Harper has to come along for the ride, but she can’t stay David’s Paladin unless she undergoes an ancient trial that will either kill her . . . or connect her to David for life.

I was here by Gaye Foreman
I enjoyed Gayles previous books If I stay and Where
she went , so I am hoping these will be just as good, although I understand
this novel is going to be even more sad.
Goodreads Summary : Cody and Meg were inseparable. Two peas in a pod. Until . . . they weren’t anymore.
When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated. She and Meg shared everything—so how was there no warning? But when Cody travels to Meg’s college town to pack up the belongings left behind, she discovers that there’s a lot that Meg never told her. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, who broke Meg’s heart. And about an encrypted computer file that Cody can’t open—until she does, and suddenly everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend’s death gets thrown into question.
I Was Here is Gayle Forman at her finest, a taut, emotional, and ultimately redemptive story about redefining the meaning of family and finding a way to move forward even in the face of unspeakable loss
I was Here is a standalone
novel that is released on January 27th 2015(the same date as my sisters
birthday).

6. The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall
This is the first novel of a brand new trilogy by Maggie Hall, which I am very excited for.

Part of a powerful and dangerous secret society called the Circle, they believe Avery is the key to an ancient prophecy. Some want to use her as a pawn. Some want her dead.
To unravel the mystery putting her life in danger, Avery must follow a trail of clues from the monuments of Paris to the back alleys of Istanbul with two boys who work for the Circle—beautiful, volatile Stellan and mysterious, magnetic Jack. But as the clues expose a stunning conspiracy that might plunge the world into World War 3, she discovers that both boys are hiding secrets of their own.

7. We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach
Apocalyptic, dystopian and after apocalyptic
are very popular at the current time, but I have never read a pre-apocalypse
novel, and when I read the synopsis of this one on goodreads, it made me want
to read it now! Also the film rights have already been sold and the book does not
even come out for another two months.
Goodreads Summary: Four high school seniors put their hopes, hearts, and humanity on the line as an asteroid hurtles toward Earth in this contemporary novel.
They always say that high school is the best time of your life.
Peter, the star basketball player at his school, is worried “they” might actually be right. Meanwhile Eliza can’t wait to escape Seattle—and her reputation—and perfect-on-paper Anita wonders if admission to Princeton is worth the price of abandoning her real dreams. Andy, for his part, doesn’t understand all the fuss about college and career—the future can wait.
Or can it? Because it turns out the future is hurtling through space with the potential to wipe out life on Earth. As these four seniors—along with the rest of the planet—wait to see what damage an asteroid will cause, they must abandon all thoughts of the future and decide how they’re going to spend what remains of the present.
We All Looked Up is going to be released on 21st
March 2015.

8. None of the Above by L.W. Gregorio
None of the Above sounds like a real
heartbreaking story, that needs to be read and I hope will give everyone a lot
of feels and its already rated 4.23 on goodreads, that means it’s a good book
in my book and in our century we need more diverse books like this.
Goodreads Summary: A groundbreaking story about a teenage girl who discovers she's intersex . . . and what happens when her secret is revealed to the entire school. Incredibly compelling and sensitively told, None of the Above is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be a boy, a girl, or something in between.
What if everything you knew about yourself changed in an instant?
When Kristin Lattimer is voted homecoming queen, it seems like another piece of her ideal life has fallen into place. She's a champion hurdler with a full scholarship to college and she's madly in love with her boyfriend. In fact, she's decided that she's ready to take things to the next level with him.
But Kristin's first time isn't the perfect moment she's planned--something is very wrong. A visit to the doctor reveals the truth: Kristin is intersex, which means that though she outwardly looks like a girl, she has male chromosomes, not to mention boy "parts."
Dealing with her body is difficult enough, but when her diagnosis is leaked to the whole school, Kristin's entire identity is thrown into question. As her world unravels, can she come to terms with her new self?
None of the Above is planned to be released on
April 7th 2015.
Tracked is claimed to be a sci-fi version of
fast and the furious which instantlu gets me interested. I’ve loved the fast
and the furious movies sine I have watched them as a child with my dad.
Goodreads Summary: On corporately controlled Castra, rally racing is a high stakes game that seventeen-year-old Phoebe Van Zant knows all too well. Phee’s legendary racer father disappeared mysteriously, but that hasn't stopped her from speeding headlong into trouble.

Worse, Phee risks losing Bear as she falls for Cash, her daring new teammate. But when she discovers that Benroyal is controlling more than a corporation, Phee realizes she has a much bigger role in Castra’s future than she could ever have imagined. It's up to Phee to take Benroyal down. But even with the help of her team, can a street-rat destroy an empire?
Tracked by Jenny Martin is expected to be released on 5th May 2015.

10. Pretending to be Erica by Michelle Painchaud
Pretending to be Erica is the story of a girl
who has been training her entire life to be a con artist. As if that isn’t
interesting enough, just check out the cover.
Goodreads summary: Seventeen-year-old Violet’s
entire life has revolved around one thing: becoming Erica Silverman, an heiress
kidnapped at age five and never seen again. Violet’s father, the best con man
in Las Vegas, has a plan, chilling in its very specific precision. Violet
shares a blood type with Erica; soon, thanks to surgery and blackmail, she has
the same face, body, and DNA. She knows every detail of the Silvermans’ lives,
as well as the PTSD she will have to fake around them. And then, when the time
is right, she “reappears”—Erica Silverman, brought home by some kind of
miracle. But she is also Violet, and she has a job: Stay long enough to steal
the Silverman Painting, an Old Master legendary in the Vegas crime world.
Walking a razor’s edge, calculating every decision, not sure sometimes who she
is or what she is doing it for, Violet is an unforgettable heroine, and Pretending
to be Erica is a killer debut
The expected release date for Pretending to be
Erica by Michelle Painchaud is 21st July 2015.
