The Last Echo by Kimberly Derting
Release: April 2012
Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books
Summary:
Violet kept her morbid ability to sense dead bodies a secret from everyone except her family and her childhood-best-friend-turned-boyfriend, Jay Heaton. That is until forensic psychologist Sara Priest discovered Violet’s talent and invited her to use her gift to track down murderers. Now, as she works with an eclectic group of individuals—including mysterious and dangerously attractive Rafe—it’s Violet’s job to help those who have been murdered by bringing their killers to justice. When Violet discovers the body of a college girl killed by “the girlfriend collector” she is determined to solve the case. But now the serial killer is on the lookout for a new “relationship” and Violet may have caught his eye....
Yes, I still need to read Desires of the Dead, but I'm purposely waiting until closer to spring so that way I'll have less of a wait for this book. I. Am. Excited.
Skyship Academy: The Pearl Wars by Nick James
Release: September 8th, 2011
Publisher: Flux
Summary:
A devastated Earth’s last hope is found in Pearls: small, mysterious orbs that fall from space, and are capable of supplying enough energy to power entire cities. Battling to control the Pearls are the Skyship dwellers—political dissidents who live in massive ships in the Earth’s stratosphere—and the corrupt Surface government.
Jesse Fisher, a Skyship brat, and Cassius Stevenson, a young Surface operative, cross paths when they both venture into forbidden territory in pursuit of Pearls. Their chance encounter triggers an unexpected reaction, endowing each boy with remarkable—and dangerous—abilities that their respective governments would stop at nothing to possess. Enemies thrust together with a common goal, Jesse and Cassius make their way to the ruins of Seattle to uncover the truth about their new powers, the past they didn’t know they shared, and a shocking secret about the Pearls.
I don't really know what to say, except for this could be a really good book. Plus, how cool is that cover?
What are you waiting on?

oOo the cover for Skyship Academy is awesome!
I do love the new cover for SkyShip Academy and of course The Last Echo!!! Great picks this week. I'm hoping my teens like The Pearl Wars when it comes out.
Holy goodness! I hadn't heard of Skyship Academy, but it looks beyond awesome. Love steampunk elements! Thanks for featuring it!

I cannot freaking wait for The Last Echo, I love that series! Great picks!
I never did read The Body Finder. Is this the last in the series?
I'm super excited for The Last Echo, but I really hope she doesn't do some kind of funky triangle because I really like Jay. That being said, I though Desires of the Dead didn't really live up to The Body Finder. Yes, it was still good and I'm still totally FREAKING excited about The Last Echo, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. I really hope Kimberly Derting brings it all back in The Last Echo. I'm very VERY excited for her other book, The Pledge.
And, the cover of Skyship Academy is AMAZING! I love steampunk and this one looks so good and different than some of the others. I simply can't wait! *squee*

I'm loving the Last Echo- I can't wait! Great pick!
Can't wait for Last Echo, Body Finder series is one of my top favorites! Also I have heard about Skyship Academy as well and it sounds so interesting.
Ohhh The Pearl Wars sounds intriguing- thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I loved The Body Finder and Desires of the Dead, so I can't wait to read The Last Echo :)
I love the cover of The Last Echo-I'm super excited for the release!
I still have to read Desires of the Dead, but I did LOVE the Body Finder! Skyship Academy looks amazing! Such a cool cover!
Both sound excellent and you're smart to wait!
I'm waiting for The Last Echo too. Love the cover and love the summary of it.
I can't wait for The Last Echo either. And that is my favourite cover in the series so far :)
Hi,
Im a new follower. I havent read the first two books in the series yet, i have them sitting on my bookshelf. I actually had just bought the Body Finder and then I won a signed copy. I saw Skyship Academy yesterday amongst by travels in book land and I love Steampunk, I was not sure if this was steampunk I was only going by the goggles on the cover...loL!!! Sounds cool book.

I'm so excited about The Last Echo as well! I LOVE The Body Finder series so this one is sure to be great as well. Skyship Academy looks promising. I especially like the cover- it's different but in a good kind of way.
I still haven't read The Body Finder - I'm so far behind! These both look great though!
I haven't heard of the second novel before but I sure am looking forward to The Last Echo as well! :)
I love the cover of Skyship academy!
