In My Mailbox (21)

In My Mailbox is a meme originally hosted by Kristi over at The Story Siren (click for more information) that shares all the new books you've bought, borrowed, received, or traded for the week.

I had another good week! This week has really been my week, I won so many unexpected contests! But they haven't came in yet, so they will be featured on next week's IMM (:

Received/for review:

Manifest by Artist Arthur (ARC)
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)

Krystal Bentley is an outsider at her new high school, having just moved to a small Connecticut town. Lately she's been hearing the voice of a teenage boy in her head, and he has become her friend and confidant. The only problem is, he's dead...
 
Ricky Watson was killed a year ago in the alley behind Krystal's new school. The rumor mill is filled with stories of Ricky and his untimely death. Unfortunately, as a ghost, Ricky is unable to investigate his own murder, so Ricky needs Krystal to find the truth and she needs someone to listen. When Krystal befriends Sasha and Jake, both outcasts at her high school, the threesome soon discover that they have more in common than their outsider status. Each has a unique paranormal ability and an unusual birthmark in the shape of an "M." Jake announces that the M must stand for misfits, and so the three form an unusual clique. They soon realize that solving Ricky's murder can help them understand the mystery behind their powers and may reveal whether there are others like them. 

This sounds really good! It's the first book in the Mystyx series. A big thanks goes to Lisa Roe online publicist for sending me this one :D

Burned (House of Night #7) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)

Zoey Redbird is the youngest High Priestess in House of Night history and is the only person – vamp or fledgling – that can stop the evil Neferet from raising all kinds of immortal trouble. And she might just have a chance if she wasn’t so busy being dead.

Well, dead is too strong a word. Stevie Rae knows she can bring her BFF back from her unscheduled va-cay in the Otherworld. But it’s going to take a lot more than hoping to bring Zoey back. Stevie Rae will have to give up a few secrets of her own . . .  

I haven't caught up with this series yet, but I'll definitely be getting to this one when I do. Thanks to zeitghostmedia for mailing this one in! 

Library/for review:

The Summoning (Darkest Powers #1) by Kelley Armstrong
Summary: (taken from Goodreads) 

After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. She is attending art school, pursuing her dreams of becoming a director, making friends, meeting boys. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere, demanding her attention. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home.

At first, Lyle House seems a pretty okay place, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home–charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek, obnoxious Tori, and Rae, who has a “thing” for fire–Chloe begins to realize that there is something that binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual “problem kid” behaviour. And together they discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home either…

This isn't my typical read, but it sounds sooo good. And I read two amazing reviews by Jami from YA Addict and Michelle from Michelle's Bookshelf that gave me the final push to finally start this series. I have a feeling I should of checked out the other two books as well...

So that's it for this week. I'm going to review and have a giveaway for Sea Change on Monday( aka my very first giveaway), so be sure to tune in then :D
