Tantalizing Future YA Releases is a weekly feature where I showcase upcoming YA covers. In addition, 'The Blast from the Past' section focuses on previously released books that still deserve a voice after a few years of silence. If you are inspired by this part of the meme, giving credit will be greatly appreciated.
All titles are linked to GoodReads, if summaries cannot be found I will use Amazon or the publisher's website. Also, please note that covers may not be final. If changes occur I will replace the covers with the new versions.

Summary:
approx. 4 hours, 3 cassettes
It's late summer 1793, and the streets of Philadelphia are abuzz with mosquitoes and rumors of fever. Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight-the fight to stay alive.

Lord. ANOTHER Touch novel? Good grief. I still haven't gotten my lazy, deprived self around to reading the third one.
Thanks for the list, darlin. :) Always good to add some more awesome books to my shelf.
Hehe, featuring Tantalize! Great picks yet again, and Frost's cover is very, very pretty. :)
Okay, I managed to block the fact that Deadly Little Voices wasn't going to be released forever, but now I'm reminded just how far away it is! Ahhhh!
It's one of my favorite series and I'm totally tantalized. Great selections!
Thank you so much for sharing. I've actually never heard of either of these titles so my wishlist just grew by a mile :)
ooooh, just added a few of these to my list. Thanks for the heads up! =)
