As I have previously confessed, I have a major book addiction. Given the fact that I go through about 20 books a month I am always looking for new books, preferably of the paranormal/urban fantasy genre. Since I can't be the only one (please, tell me I'm not alone) I thought I would start posting the upcoming new releases here. (I keep a spreadsheet which is currently updated through the end of the year. I take this whole "new books" thing seriously!) So here are the books to watch out for for July 2009:
Leader of the Pack by Karen Macinerney (Third book in the series after Howling at the Moon and On the Prowl )
Mercy Thompson Homecoming by Patricia Briggs (Comic debut of the main character from the series that includes Moon Called, Blood Bound and Iron Kissed)
Strange Brew (Anthology) edited by P.N. Elrod (Includes stories by Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris and Rachel Caine!)
Skin Deep by Mark del Franco (First in the Laura Blackstone series that takes place in the same universe as his Connor Grey books, Unshapely Things, Unquiet Dreams and Unfallen Dead.)
Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh (The newest in her psy-chagelings series.)
And since some of you may not have caught all the new releases for last month, here's the list of new releases for June 2009:
Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine (Book six in the Morganville Vampire series which started with Glass Houses. This series is marketed as Young Adult but both my husband and I are big fans!)
Darkness Calls by Marjorie Liu (Second in the Hunter Kiss series begun with Iron Hunt.)
The Enchantment Emporium by Tanya Huff (Hardcover) (Woo hoo! New characters - hopefully the beginning of a new series!)
Mark of the Demon by Diana Rowland
Cry Mercy by Toni Andrews (Third in the series after Beg for Mercy and Angel of Mercy)

*grins* Well howdy there!
ReplyDeleteAlso, eeee, a new Tanya Huff! *giddy* LOVED Summon the Keeper, to a truly ridiculous extent.
I need to continue the Patricia Briggs series - I enjoyed Moon Called, but am wary of the romantic entanglements getting more complicated.
Never heard of Rachel Caine *makes a note* (who cares if it's YA or not? Sure, sometimes you get "liekomg" YA books, but I'd miss out on some awesome books if I tried to put an age limit on my reading. Must be this young to enjoy....*snort*)
Never read any of the Toni Andrews Mercy books. Are they as delicious as they sound?

P.S. Dear Blogspot.com,
You fail for not letting me sign my comment with my website. A full portion of fail, drizzled with lamesauce and topped with a tough, gristly chunk of idiocy.
Don't worry about the romantic entanglements in the mercy Thompson series; there is actually a resolution that mnkes sense and is handled well!
ReplyDeleteI am an ex-teacher so reading YA books comes naturally to me! There are a number of good YA paranormals (though some in a series may be better than others), many written by authors whose adult books I enjoy. Demon Envy (written by Erin McCarthy under a pseudonym), and Marked (by P.C. Cast and her daughter) come to mind. Rachel Caine also writes the "Weather Warden" series for adults as well.
The Toni Andrews books are good and I love the unusual "power" given to the main character.
Oooh, I tried Marked and couldn't get into it. *shakes head* Not at all, though I believe the underlying plot to be one I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean I won't try the others, though. =]
Love me some Inter-Library-Loan!
