Top Ten 2017 Debuts I’m Excited For

Top Ten 2017 Debuts I’m Excited For

January 3, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 7 Comments

Debuts 2017

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is: Top Ten 2017 Debuts I’m Excited For.

I feel like 2017 is going to be a big year for YA and hopefully in a good way. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday it’s all about debuts for 2017. It’s rare that I think about debuts before they have been published or  reviews start coming in, but here are some that I am excited to read. Nevertheless, like always these are in no particular order.

Daughter of a Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller: A pirates daughter who allows herself to be captured by enemy pirates to find a map that will lead to hidden treasure. Nevertheless, things don’t always go to plan. Coming February

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement that sounds powerful and moving. The Hate U Give is the struggling of doing what is right and for justice. This debut is something I cannot wait to read, however, I think it’s going to tear me apart. Coming February

Cold Summer by Gwen Cole: Kale can time travel. One day he is a high school drop out, the other a soldier in World War II. Haunted by PTSD and his life falling apart, all Kale needs to find out that he will die in WWII – but now he must survive. Coming May

The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles: I already have an ARC of this one, but I have yet to pick it up. The Edge of Everything is an epic romance fantasy adventure that straddles two worlds. Coming February.

Poison’s Kiss by Breeana Shields: A teen assassin that can kill someone with a single kiss. She has killed dozens of boys, but what happens if the next boy she has to kill is the one that she loves. Coming January

To Catch a Killer by Sheryl Scarborough: As a toddler Erin spent 3 says next to the corpse of her murdered mother. Now, fourteen years later she finds another body. However, Erin thinks her mother’s killer has struck again. Coming February.

Empress of a Thousand Skies by Ronda Belleza: With planets on the brink of war Rhee and Aly are thrown together to confront a ruthless evil that nevertheless, threatens the fate of the entire galaxy. Coming February

Royal Bastards by Andrew Shvarts: Being a bastard blows. Tilla would know. At sixteen, Tilla spends her days exploring long-forgotten tunnels beneath the castle.  However, before she knows it, Tilla is leading the sheltered princess on a late-night escapade. Coming June

The Hidden Memory of Objects by Danielle Mages Amato: When her brother dies and the police to nothing about it, Megan turns to the things that he left behind.  She can see memories attached to some of Tyler’s belongings, however, those memories reveal a brother she never knew. Coming March

Frostblood by Elly Blake Ruby is a fireblood who must hide her powers from the cruel frostblood ruling class. However, when her mother is killed for protecting her, the rebel frostbloods demand her help to kill their rampaging king, she agrees. But Ruby’s powers are unpredictable. Coming January

    So many wonderful debuts realising this year! I’m also excited for The Hate U Give. You’ve mentioned quite a few not on my TBR, so I’m off to add them and read the full blurb. Especially intrigued by Daughter of A Pirate Ship and Poison’s Kiss!

    I’m definitely excited for Frostblood. I’m all for the whole fire vs ice thing, but it’s so often in the sidelines! The cover looks intriguing as well. Oh and Cold Summer looks SO much like the cover of Claudia Gray’s “A Thousand Pieces of You” cover!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
