Fictional Distractions of the Week #56 (Special Edition - Help me decide)

Welcome to Fictional Distractions of the Week. It is inspired by Book Journey's It's Monday! What are you reading? and Fiktshun's My Reading Pile and it will show you what I'm planning to read during the next week.

The books I plan to read this week:

At first, I'll finish reading Hooked by Liz Fichera. I'm about 25% in while scheduling this post and so far I'm definitely intrigued enough to want to continue reading as fast as possible. I don't know much about golf and while I would wish for more explanations, it's not really confusing and very easy to read. Hope it'll continue to be like this.

Afer that I'll finally be reading Stealing Parker, which I've been wanting to read for the longest time. Since I'll be participating in the third book's blog tour in March, I really want to read this installment first, even though I doubt it's necessary since they're "just" companion novels.

And because I just cannot decide, I'll let you choose my third read for this week:

Which book should I read?
	Awake at Dawn by C.C. Hunter
	Shattered Souls by Mary Lindsey
	Wings of the Wicked by Courtney A. Moulton
	Embrace by Jessica Shirvington
	Fated by Sarah Alderson

I'm more than happy with the books I've received this week. Can't wait to finally continue reading the Shadow Falls series by C.C. Hunter - I loved the first book and now have both, the second and the third sitting on my shelf. I've also been dying to read Dark Companion, Silver and Pretty Amy ever since I first heard about them and am already reading and loving Embrace.

The physical books I got this week all arrived this weekend. I'm sooo excited for them (bought them with some of my birthday money) and I didn't expect them to arrive all at once. Also, in the last few weeks I was actually trying not to request any books from NetGalley, but - wow! Can you believe that HarperCollins is letting us read these titles? They've been on my wishlist ever since I first saw them and I can't wait to start reading them. :)

Goodreads Summary:

Now that she’s settled in at Shadow Falls Camp, Kylie Galen’s determined to discover the extent of her supernatural abilities.  But with a ghost insisting someone Kylie loves is about die, a rogue vampire on a murdering rampage, and her sixth sense telling her someone is watching her, Kylie’s quest for answers is quickly put on hold. 
To make matters worse, just when she’s about to give her heart to Derek, a half-fairy, he starts pulling away.  When Lucas, a werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past, returns, Kylie’s feels more conflicted than ever. Her weekend with her mom should have been the just the break Kylie needs, but it turns out to be her breaking point.  Someone from the dark side of the supernatural world has plans for Kylie—and it'll take all her resources to get back to Shadow Falls alive...

I was so positively surprised by the first novel of this series, Born at Midnight, which I loved so much - therefore it's no surprise that I'm desperately awaiting the release of this novel. 

What are you waiting for this Wednesday?
