I've compiled a list of ten books that will be released the first week of September. They look pretty interesting to me but remember ... I haven't read them yet. I have no idea if they are good or not. If you read them before me, I'd love to hear from you. It's always fun to get other perspectives! OK - enough gabbing. Here are the books I picked:
If you want to read up on what these books are about, continue reading. I've included book descriptions for each one. Happy reading and let me know what books you are counting down the days until they are released!

Feuds
(The Feuds Series) by Avery Hastings – Sept. 2, 2014
In this breathless story of impossible love, perfection
comes at a deadly cost.
For Davis Morrow, perfection is a daily reality. Like all
Priors, Davis has spent her whole life primed to be smarter, stronger, and more
graceful than the lowly Imperfects, or “Imps.” A fiercely ambitious ballerina,
Davis is only a few weeks away from qualifying for the Olympiads and finally
living up to her mother’s legacy when she meets Cole, a mysterious boy who
leaves her with more questions each time he disappears.
Davis has no idea that Cole has his own agenda, or that
he’s a rising star in the FEUDS, an underground fighting ring where Priors
gamble on Imps. Cole has every reason to hate Davis—her father’s campaign
hinges on the total segregation of the Imps and Priors—but despite his best
efforts, Cole finds himself as drawn to Davis as she is to him.
Then Narxis, a deadly virus, takes its hold--and Davis’s
friends start dying. When the Priors refuse to acknowledge the epidemic, Davis
has no one to turn to but Cole. Falling in love was never part of their plan,
but their love may be the only thing that can save her world...in Avery
