Publisher: Harper Teen

The girl with no past, and no future, may be the only one who can save their lives. 

Nisha was abandoned at the gates of the City of a Thousand Dolls when she was just a child. Now sixteen, she lives on the grounds of the isolated estate, where orphan girls apprentice as musicians, healers, courtesans, and, if the rumors are true, assassins. Nisha makes her way as Matron’s assistant, her closest companions the mysterious cats that trail her shadow. Only when she begins a forbidden flirtation with the city’s handsome young courier does she let herself imagine a life outside the walls. Until one by one, girls around her start to die.

Before she becomes the next victim, Nisha decides to uncover the secrets that surround the girls’ deaths. But by getting involved, Nisha jeopardizes not only her own future in the City of a Thousand Dolls—but her own life.


Why can't I wait? 
Fantasy is not my genre, but this one has a fair bit of mystery to the plot so I'm curious. It also seems to be the book everyone is buzzing about, and, while crazy buzz normally turns me off of a book, I'm feeding on the excitement. Will this be the fantasy novel that makes me a convert? Maaaaybe.

  1. YOU AND ME BOTH! HarperTeen might kill me with the amazingness that is their lineup for next year since I'm quite possibly the least patient person ever. *drums fingers on desk waiting for February*
