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 for summary details. Also, please note that covers may not be final. If changes occur I will replace the covers with the new versions.

Summary: Generations ago, violence was banned on New Earth. Society is governed and conflicts are resolved in the arena of a fantasy computer game, Epic. Everyone plays. If you win, you have the chance to go to university, get more supplies for your community, and fulfill your dreams; if you lose, your life both in and out of the game is worth nothing. When Erik, seeking revenge for the unjust treatment of his parents, dares to subvert the rules of Epic, he and his friends find themselves up against with the ultimate masters of the game: the Committee. If Erik and his friends win, they may have the key to destroying Epic’s tyranny over New Earth. But if they lose . . .

Officially my mouth is watering with these releases.
Wow... so many good books to look at! Thanks for all of the recommendations, can't wait to start reading them all!
As always, I love this feature. I felt so lost without it yesterday!
'A Long, Long Sleep' is a really decent read. Sort of Sci-fi light, but quite interesting.
I just read all the Soul Screamer books so I can't wait for 'If I Die'
The cover for 'My Very Unfairy Tale Life' makes me laugh... it sounds like a cute younger book.
Oo I'm really intrigued by Darker Still! Dorian Gray, P&P and Jekyll & Hyde? Yes please!
Awesome picks! I'm especially excited for My Very UnFairy Tale Life and Darker Still :)
DARKER STILL :) :) :) I SOOO CAN'T WAIT TILL THAT COMES OUT XD heheh
Ooooh...I really dig the one for Charmfall!
But, am I the only one who thinks the font on If I Die makes it a little hard to read? *shrugs* At first I thought it said "Hide"
