Recreated

By Colleen Houck

Publication Date: August 2, 2016

From Goodreads:

From Colleen Houck, New York Times bestselling author of The Tiger’s Curse, comes Recreated, the second book in the epic Egyptian-inspired Reawakened series, in which a seventeen-year-old must literally go to hell to save the love of her life.

Lily Young thought traveling across the globe with a reawakened sun prince was a grand adventure. Now she’s about to embark on the journey of a lifetime.

When Amon and Lily part tragically, he transports himself to the Netherworld—what mortals call hell. Tormented by the loss of his one true love, he’d rather suffer in agony during Lily’s mortal years than fulfill his duty to protect humanity.

Heartbroken, Lily seeks refuge on her grandmother’s farm. Yet she can feel Amon’s pain, and she has been having dreams—dreams of Amon continually suffering.

For before he departed, Amon gave Lily something very special, an item that connects them even though they are worlds apart. Now Lily must use this object to free him, and to free their realms from darkness and utter chaos. She will do whatever it takes.

Why I picked it:

1. The first book was so shimmery and pretty in person, and I'm wondering if this one is going to be the same way. {hopefully it is, because I'm not so wild about the color choice, though I do love the eye... Very Yu-Gi-Oh-ish}
2. Also, the last book kept me up way past my bedtime, because I could not put it down... Yes, it was that good. And the ending about killed me, so I'm curious to see where this one goes.

Waiting On Wednesday: Reawakened by Colleen Houck

Reawakened

By Colleen Houck

Publication Date: August 11, 2015

From Goodreads:

When seventeen-year-old Lilliana Young enters the Metropolitan Museum of Art one morning during spring break, the last thing she expects to find is a live Egyptian prince with godlike powers, who has been reawakened after a thousand years of mummification.

And she really can't imagine being chosen to aid him in an epic quest that will lead them across the globe to find his brothers and complete a grand ceremony that will save mankind.

But fate has taken hold of Lily, and she, along with her sun prince, Amon, must travel to the Valley of the Kings, raise his brothers, and stop an evil, shape-shifting god named Seth from taking over the world.

From New York Times bestselling author Colleen Houck comes an epic adventure about two star-crossed teens who must battle mythical forces and ancient curses on a journey with more twists and turns than the Nile itself.

Why I picked it:

I liked Colleen Houck's Tiger Saga series, and I thought that the whole premise was pretty unique. This one sounds like it will be just as awesome, with all of the Egyptian mythology. If you would like to read this book, click here to put your name on the hold list
