Charlotte Westing has a gift. She is an Oracle and has the ability to tell the future. But it doesn't do her much good. Instead of using their miraculous power, modern-day Oracles are told to fight their visions-to refrain from interfering. And Charlotte knows the price of breaking the rules. She sees it every day in her wheelchair-bound mother and the absence of her father. But when a premonition of a classmate's death is too strong for her to ignore, Charlotte is forced to make an impossible decision: continue following the rules or risk everything - even her sanity - to stop the serial killer who is stalking her town. (Summary from Goodreads)
Wow! Does this sound like a heart-pounding thrill ride? I'm not the biggest reader of thrillers, but premonitions, guilt, murder, and a mysterious "helper" make this story a must for my TBR list.

Growing up on Forge's streets has taught Kyra how to stretch a coin. And when that's not enough, her uncanny ability to scale walls and bypass guards helps her take what she needs.
But when the leader of the Assassins Guild offers Kyra a lucrative job, she hesitates. She knows how to get by on her own, and she's not sure she wants to play by his rules. But he's persistent - and darkly attractive - and Kyra can't quite resist his pull.
Tristam of Brancel is a young Palace knight on a mission. After his best friend is brutally murdered by Demon Riders, a clan of vicious warriors who ride bloodthirsty wildcats, Tristam vows to take them down. But as his investigation deepens, he finds his efforts thwarted by a talented thief, one who sneaks past Palace defenses with uncanny ease.
When a fateful raid throws Kyra and Tristam together, the two enemies realize that their best chance at survival - and vengeance - might be to join forces. And as their loyalties are tested to the breaking point, they learn a startling secret about Kyra's past that threatens to reshape both their lives. (Summary from Goodreads)

Now I want to know what the secret is! Don't you!? This sounds great! And that cover is gorgeous!
What are you waiting on this week?
Both of these look good, but I must admit, Midnight Thief looks more my speed. Thanks for sharing!

I've already read Sleep No More and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to but can't wait for Midnight Thief either! :)

I'm not very interested in reading Sleep No More, but Midnight Thief looks like a great read! I don't think I've ever heard of that one until now.
