Future YA Books on Mondays: #3

As you all know, I try to make our dreary Mondays a bit brighter by showcasing a fantastic new YA book that will be coming out in 2013. Stay tuned, y'all, because you'll be wanting to add today's hot new novel to your to-read list--which is...

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer!
Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles, #2)

Scarlet is the sequel to the ever-popular Cinder, which was Marissa Meyer's debut novel. Here's a quick summary, straight from Goodreads:

Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own.

As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.


Now, onto some exciting stats! I was checking out Scarlet on Goodreads, and what I found is a very positive response from readers. For a book that's not even published yet, it's earned 4.52 out of 5 stars! As of this moment, 251 people have rated it, and 194 have added reviws. It is expected to be published on February 5th, 2013--so a week or so before Valentine's Day, make sure you hit the bookstore to grab the hot new sequel to Cinder.

Onto our about the author section...Marissa Meyer's debut novel was Cinder, published on January 3rd, 2012. She lives in Tacoma, Washington and is engaged. She loves road trips, wine tasting, and hunting for antiques. Her official website, where you can check out the latest news on both Cinder and Scarlet, is marissameyer.com, where she has a great blog for you guys to look at after perusing what's up with her two books.

Now, after reading all that, you better be excited. And if you have no clue what the summary is about, I suggest you try her first ah-mazing novel, Cinder. Thanks for reading, guys, and make sure you've got Scarlet on your to-read list!
