This week's pre-publication "We can't wait to read it!" selections are...

On the Edge 

Author: Allison van Diepen

Release Date: November 25, 2014

Published by: HarperCollins

Maddie Diaz never should have taken that shortcut through the park. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have seen two members of the Reyes gang attacking a homeless man. Now, as the only witness, she knows there's a target on her back.

But when the Reyes jump her on the street, Maddie is protected by a second gang and their secretive leader, Lobo, who is determined to take down the Reyes himself. Lobo is mysterious and passionate, and Maddie begins to fall for him. But when they live this close to the edge, can their love survive?  (Summary from Goodreads)

The cover drew me in first because it reminded me of a Simone Elkeles series that I like. Then the description has me intrigued, so this is going on my TBR list.

Princess of Thorns

Author: Stacey Jay

Release Date: December 9, 2014

Published by: Delacorte Press

Though she looks like a mere mortal, Princess Aurora is a fairy blessed with enhanced strength, bravery, and mercy yet cursed to destroy the free will of any male who kisses her. Disguised as a boy, she enlists the help of the handsome but also cursed Prince Niklaas to fight legions of evil and free her brother from the ogre queen who stole Aurora's throne ten years ago.

Will Aurora triumph over evil and reach her brother before it's too late? Can Aurora and Niklaas break the curses that will otherwise forever keep them from finding their one true love? (Summary from Goodreads)

I always love the sound of Stacey Jay's books and this one especially sounds fantastic! AND, I have it from NetGalley to try! I can't wait to give it a go!

What are you waiting on this week?
