Penulis : Laini Taylor

Tebal : 517 halaman

Penerbit : Hodder Stoughton

Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.

This is not that world.

Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is—and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it.

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.

While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope.

But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?

Semangat Dukuh Paruk kembali menggeliat sejak Srintil dinobatkan menjadi ronggeng baru, menggantikan ronggeng terakhir yang mati dua belas tahun yang lalu. Bagi pendukuhan yang kecil, miskin, terpencil, dan bersahaja itu, ronggeng adalah perlambang. Tanpanya, dukuh itu merasa kehilangan jati diri. Dengan segera Srintil menjadi tokoh yang amat terkenal dan digandrungi. Cantik dan menggoda. Semua ingin pernah bersama ronggeng itu. Dari kaula biasa hingga pejabat-pejabat desa maupun kabupaten. Namun malapetaka politik tahun 1965 membuat dukuh tersebut hancur, baik secara fisik maupun mental. Karena kebodohannya, mereka terbawa arus dan divonis sebagai manusia-manusia yang telah mengguncangkan negara ini. Pedukuhan itu dibakar. Ronggeng beserta para penabuh calungnya ditahan. Hanya karena kecantikannyalah Srintil tidak diperlakukan semena-mena oleh para penguasa di penjara itu. Namun pengalaman pahit sebagai tahanan politik membuat Srintil sadar akan harkatnya sebagai manusia. Karena itu setelah bebas, ia berniat memperbaiki citra dirinya. Ia tak ingin lagi melayani lelaki mana pun. Ia ingin menjadi wanita somahan. Dan ketika Bajus muncul dalam hidupnya, sepercik harapan timbul, harapan yang makin lama makin membuncah. Tapi, ternyata Srintil kembali terempas, kali ini bahkan membuat jiwanya hancur berantakan, tanpa harkat secuil pun...

The Blood of Olympus

Judul : The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5)

Penulis : Rick Riordan

Tebal : 502 halaman

Penerbit : Disney-Hyperion

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them—and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake.

The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps.

The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Leaving Paradise

Judul : Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise #1)

Penulis : Simone Elkeles

Tebal : 303 halaman

Penerbit : Flux

Nothing has been the same since Caleb Becker left a party drunk, got behind the wheel, and hit Maggie Armstrong. Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad—her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares—has been canceled.

After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb’s free . . . if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers.

Caleb and Maggie are outsiders, pigeon-holed as "criminal" and "freak." Then the truth emerges about what really happened the night of the accident and, once again, everything changes. It’s a bleak and tortuous journey for Caleb and Maggie, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other.
