This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:



Firelight
Sophie Jordan

Summary: (Barnes and Noble)

A hidden truth.
Mortal enemies.
Doomed love.

Marked as special at an early age, Jacinda knows her every move is watched. But she longs for freedom to make her own choices. When she breaks the most sacred tenet among her kind, she nearly pays with her life. Until a beautiful stranger saves her. A stranger who was sent to hunt those like her. For Jacinda is a draki—a descendant of dragons whose greatest defense is her secret ability to shift into human form.

Forced to flee into the mortal world with her family, Jacinda struggles to adapt to her new surroundings. The only bright light is Will. Gorgeous, elusive Will who stirs her inner draki to life. Although she is irresistibly drawn to him, Jacinda knows Will's dark secret: He and his family are hunters. She should avoid him at all costs. But her inner draki is slowly slipping away—if it dies she will be left as a human forever. She'll do anything to prevent that. Even if it means getting closer to her most dangerous enemy.

Mythical powers and breathtaking romance ignite in this story of a girl who defies all expectations and whose love crosses an ancient divide.

Ooooh!! the first 3 sentences in the summary sound like a movie trailer! Dragons, gorgeous men, mythical powers and beasts. What's not to love about this book? Besides, I do love the look of this cover. I think I'm a cover snob. I hate to admit it but attractive covers really do draw me in. Can't wait til it comes to the shelves - September 7th, 2010. What are you waiting to be released?
