“Ninety percent of the clothes were red this season, just as they'd been every season since we realized the dead hate that color.’”

“Then he turned the purest green eyes to mine.'Excuse me. Are you really Aura?'"
I didn't notice the 'really,' because my ears had heated at the sound of my name spoken that way, his tongue curled around the r like it was a piece of candy."

Out Today!




I’m very excited for these four books! I had preordered The Grey Wolf Throne and Soul Thief a while back, so that means they're on their way as I type this! As soon as I can I’ll get Twisted and Witchlanders. I only wish they had released them for the Kindle too.

Amazon
The Grey Wolf Throne
(Seven Realms 3)

Summary from Goodreads:
Han Alister thought he had already lost everyone he loved. But when he finds his friend Rebecca Morley near death in the Spirit Mountains, Han knows that nothing matters more than saving her. The costs of his efforts are steep, but nothing can prepare him for what he soon discovers: the beautiful, mysterious girl he knew as Rebecca is none other than Raisa ana’Marianna, heir to the Queendom of the Fells. Han is hurt and betrayed. He knows he has no future with a blueblood. And, as far as he’s concerned, the princess’s family killed his own mother and sister. But if Han is to fulfill his end of an old bargain, he must do everything in his power to see Raisa crowned queen.

Meanwhile, some people will stop at nothing to prevent Raisa from ascending. With each attempt on her life, she wonders how long it will be before her enemies succeed. Her heart tells her that the thief-turned-wizard Han Alister can be trusted. She wants to believe it—he’s saved her life more than once. But with danger coming at her from every direction, Raisa can only rely on her wits and her iron-hard will to survive—and even that might not be enough.

Amazon
Soul Thief
(Demon Trappers 2)

Summary from Goodreads:
Riley Blackthorne is beginning to learn that there are worse things than death by demon. And love is just one of them…

Seventeen-year-old Riley has about had it up to here. After the devastating battle at the Tabernacle, trappers are dead and injured, her boyfriend Simon is gravely injured, and now her beloved late father’s been illegally poached from his grave by a very powerful necromancer. As if that’s not enough, there's Ori, one sizzling hot freelance demon hunter who’s made himself Riley’s unofficial body guard, and Beck, a super over-protective “friend” who acts more like a grouchy granddad.  With all the hassles, Riley’s almost ready to leave Atlanta altogether.
But as Atlanta’s demon count increases, the Vatican finally sends its own Demon Hunters to take care of the city’s “little” problem, and pandemonium breaks loose. Only Riley knows that she might be the center of Hell’s attention: an extremely powerful Grade 5 demon is stalking her, and her luck can't last forever…

Amazon
Witchlanders

Summary from Goodreads:
High in their mountain covens, red witches pray to the Goddess, protecting the Witchlands by throwing the bones and foretelling the future.
It’s all a fake.
At least, that’s what Ryder thinks. He doubts the witches really deserve their tithes—one quarter of all the crops his village can produce. And even if they can predict the future, what danger is there to foretell, now that his people’s old enemy, the Baen, has been defeated?
But when a terrifying new magic threatens both his village and the coven, Ryder must confront the beautiful and silent witch who holds all the secrets. Everything he’s ever believed about witches, the Baen, magic and about himself will change, when he discovers that the prophecies he’s always scorned—
Are about him.

Amazon
Twisted

Summary from Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old Aden Stone has had a hell of a week. He’s been:

Tortured by angry witches.
Hypnotized by a vengeful faery.
Spied on by the most powerful vampire in existence.
And, oh, yeah. Killed – twice.

His vampire girlfriend might have brought him back to life, but he’s never felt more out of control. There’s a darkness within him, something taking over . . . changing him. Worse, because he was meant to die, death now stalks him at every turn. Any day could be his last.

Once upon a time, the three souls trapped inside his head could have helped him. He could have protected himself. But as the darkness grows stronger, the souls grow weaker – just like his girlfriend. The more vampire Aden becomes, the more human Victoria becomes, until everything they know and love is threatened.

Life couldn’t get any worse.

Could it?

Musing Mondays (4)

 Musing Mondays is a meme hosted by Should Be Reading.

 This week’s musing is…a book meme!
What was the last book you...

borrowed from the library?  
Way back in 2005 I went to my highschool's library and got...

bought?
Last week I got Everblue just because it had this gorgeous cover, and I ended up loving, scratch that, LOVING the story!

cried over?
The end really did me in, especially with Adrian blowing up and screaming at Rose.

disliked and couldn't finish?
I tried time and time again, but I just couldn't get into the story at all.

really loved?
Love Stories + Greek Mythology = My new obsession.

got for review?
The lovely Derrolyn Anderson asked me to review this, and I thank her for the opportunity!

gave to someone else?
Only as a loan, I never part with books I buy and love/like.

stayed up too late reading? 
Stayed over-freaking-night to finish this! Totally worth it, even with the nasty black circles under my eyes.
