Summary:

Yasmin Alejo used to a plan: get into grad school, work her butt off, and become Dr. Alejo, PhD.
But then her sister�s death shatters everything.
Heartbroken, Yasmin gets a job as a cruise ship photographer aboard the Radiant Star. She just wants some time to heal, but her infuriating�and annoyingly sexy�boss won�t give her any peace.
West Campbell used to care about more than money, but those days died along with his mom�s passing. Now he has only one goal: squeezing as much profit from the Radiant Star�s photography department as he can, in order to win a prized corporate management job. He won�t let anyone mess with that�especially not the feisty and gorgeous Yasmin, who seems more interested in getting to know the passengers than selling them vacation packages.
As they sail across open waters, Yasmin and West will fight storms, seasickness, and each other, until they can�t deny their connection any longer. Every tantalizing kiss will take their breaths away � but if they can�t get over the past, it might destroy their future.

To All the Boys I�ve Loved Before is the story of Lara Jean, who has never openly admitted her crushes, but instead wrote each boy a letter about how she felt, sealed it, and hid it in a box under her bed.

Why am I waiting on it?

I <3 contemporaries, and this just seems like such a great one. It looks like it will be so much fun. I can�t even begin to imagine what I would do if these private letters that I wrote venting about my exes found their way into their hands.

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
Kindle Edition, 320 pages

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance�and the enchanting music that inspires one young woman to put her life back together.
At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She�s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori�and she is left trying to decide what to do next.
Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can�t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there�s something about Sydney that Ridge can�t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one�
From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Slammed, Point of Retreat, Hopeless, This Girl, and Losing Hope, Maybe Someday is destined to become another bestseller and long-lasting fan favorite.

Why am I waiting on this one? I have yet to read a Colleen Hoover book. (I know! I am super ashamed of myself too!) and I think this will be a perfect one to start with. It just looks awesome. I am a sucker for a neighbor romance.

Savage Delight by Sara Wolf
(Lovely Vicious #2)

Light meets dark. Secrets meet truth.
It's been three years, twenty-five weeks, and five days since Isis Blake fell in love, and if she has it her way, it'll stretch into infinity.
After a run-in with her mom�s ex-boyfriend, she scrabbles to remember what she�s lost to amnesia. Her ex-nemesis Jack falls deeper into a pit of despair, and his girlfriend Sophia does all she can to keep him to herself. But as Isis� memories return, she finds it harder and harder to resist what she felt for Jack, and Jack finds it impossible to stay away from the only girl who�s ever melted the ice around his heart.
As the dark secrets surrounding Sophia emerge, Isis realizes Jack isn�t who she thought he was. He�s dangerous. But when Isis starts receiving terrifying emails from an anonymous source, that danger might be the only thing protecting her from something far more threatening.
Her past.

Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell
Hardcover, 368 pages
Expected publication: April 1st 2014 by Katherine Tegen Books

Summary:

Rule One�Nothing is right, nothing is wrong.
Rule Two�Be careful.
Rule Three�Fight using your legs whenever possible, because they�re the strongest part of your body. Your arms are the weakest.
Rule Four�Hit to kill. The first blow should be the last, if at all possible.
Rule Five�The letters are the law.
Kit takes her role as London�s notorious �Perfect Killer� seriously. The letters and cash that come to her via a secret mailbox are not a game; choosing who to kill is not an impulse decision. Every letter she receives begins with �Dear Killer,� and every time Kit murders, she leaves a letter with the dead body. Her moral nihilism and thus her murders are a way of life�the only way of life she has ever known.
But when a letter appears in the mailbox that will have the power to topple Kit�s convictions as perfectly as she commits her murders, she must make a decision: follow the only rules she has ever known, or challenge Rule One, and go from there.
Katherine Ewell�s Dear Killer is a sinister psychological thriller that explores the thin line between good and evil, and the messiness of that inevitable moment when life contradicts everything you believe.

Why am I waiting on it?

I was first introduced to this book two weeks ago by Haley @ YA Aholic, and I told myself that I wouldn�t copy her and put it as my WoW. And I didn�t�last week.

But then I couldn�t stop thinking about this book and I caved this week. :/ I am just so excited about the premise of Dear Killer!! Thanks Haley!

2014 seems to be the year of sequels and series books, but this week I am waiting on a first book in a new series!

Hexed by Michelle Krys
Hardcover, 384 pages
Expected publication: June 10th 2014 by Delacorte Press
Series: The Witch Hunter #1
Summary:

If high school is all about social status, Indigo Blackwood has it made. Sure, her quirky mom owns an occult shop, and a nerd just won�t stop trying to be her friend, but Indie is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend and a social circle powerful enough to ruin everyone at school. Who wouldn�t want to be her?
Then a guy dies right before her eyes. And the dusty old family Bible her mom is freakishly possessive of is stolen. But it�s when a frustratingly sexy stranger named Bishop enters Indie�s world that she learns her destiny involves a lot more than pom-poms and parties. If she doesn�t get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that�s seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, she�s a witch too.
Suddenly forced into a centuries-old war between witches and sorcerers, Indie�s about to uncover the many dark truths about her life�and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.

Why I am waiting on Hexed:
I haven�t read a good witch book in while now, and I think this series looks like it will be great! A fun high school book mixed with adventure and action and tons of magic! I just hate that I have to wait so long for it!
