I'm waiting on
Silver by Talia Vance
Expected Release Date September 8th 2012
An Irish heritage, Celtic myth, and deadly beauty
In eighth grade, Brianna did something so dreadful she was suspended and homeschooled. No one could explain what happened that night . . . except Brianna's Irish grandmother, who gave her a silver charm bracelet and told her to wear it until she turned seventeen. Ever since she slipped it on, Brianna has felt like she's invisible. People stare right past her as if she doesn't exist. And that includes Blake Williams, the one boy she can't resist.
But everything changes in one frozen, silver moment when Blake sees her--and recognizes what she's been hiding. Brianna is descended from Danu, the legendary Bandia of Celtic myth. Yet before she can fully understand who or what she is, Brianna accidentally binds her soul to Blake--whose tribe has spent the last thousand years hunting Danu's descendants to protect humanity.

Why I'm Waiting?
I actually have this book from Netgalley but I still wanted to feature it. I can't wait to read it! I want to know what Brianna did and why the necklace makes her sort of invisible. Also accidental soul binding sounds like an interesting romance.

You had me at celtic myth and I love the setup for the romance. She is invisible but he can see her. That is enough for me, lol.

"Whoops, sorry. Accidently bound your soul to mine. Well, then.. Sex?" is what I thought at first. :D I think I saw it on NetGalley. These days I'm not even trying to request any books there, because I already know I won't get approved. XD

This sounds good, especially because of the Celtic myths. But 8th grade? I don't know, that kind of puts me off a little. I'll wait for your review.
