Release Date: July 22, 2014
Published by: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
Delancy Sullivan has always known there's more to reality than what people see. Every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed ~ all of these choices create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can navigate between these worlds, Del's job is to keep all of the dimensions in harmony.
Normally, Del can hear the dissonant frequency that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training session in an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from Walking be the Council. But Del's not big on following the rules and she secretly starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange is connecting them and it's not just her random encounters with echo versions of the guy she likes, Simon Lane.
But Del's decisions have unimaginable consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo Simons in each world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying to hide ~ a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse. (Summary from Goodreads)

Oh my! Doesn't this sound so cool? I own the movie Sliding Doors because I love the concept of alternate worlds where our alternate choices play out, so I'm down for this story.
(His Fair Assassin, Book 3)
Author: Robin LaFevers

Published by: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Annith has watched her gifted sisters at the convent come and go, carrying out their dark dealings in the name of St. Mortain, patiently awaiting her own turn to serve Death. But her worst fears are realized when she discovers she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever sequestered int he rock and stone womb of the convent. Feeling sorely betrayed, Annith decides to strike out on her own.
She has spent her whole life training to be an assassin. Just because the convent has changed its mind doesn't mean she has.
But across Brittany, the tides of war are drawing ever nearer, with France pressuring the beleaguered duchess from all sides. Annith's search for answers threatens to rip open an intricate web of lies and deceit that sit at the heart of the convent she serves. Yet to expose them threatens the very fabric of her existence and risks an unforeseen chance at love, one that she can no longer deny. Annith must carefully pick a path and, gods willing, effect a miracle that will see her country--and her heart--to safety. (Summary from Goodreads)

I don't know if I can even explain how AMAZING this series is! W-O-W! The girl power is amazing along with the intrigue and adventure...there's just so much. How does she keep track of all of these characters!? So far I've loved each book's main character, and I cannot wait to get to know another one. Robin's writing is just off the charts!
