Cover art (3)

Everlasting by Alyson Nöel

I have not read anything by Alyson Nöel yet but I really love this cover.
There's a chemistry between the couple and the color is beautiful.
I like the detail with the flower at the bottom.

This is book number six and the final book in The Immortals series.
It will be released 6/7 2011.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (1) This Side of the Grave

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick this week is:

This Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.
(Night Huntress #5)
(Releasing 22 February 2011)

Danger waits on both sides of the grave.

Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance . . .

With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous "ally"—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war . . . to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.

What are you waiting for this week? Leave your links and I will check them out.

My first real week as a blogger

I thought about starting a blog for a long time but I was a little afraid about not having the time or what if people didn't find what I had to say interesting, but after reading a lot of different blogs I found out that it's enough just to be yourself and write about something you love and if I don't have the time to write a post everyday that's okay. I should post when I have the time and when I feel like I have something interesting to share. So after I came to that conclusion I started this blog in September 2010 but things happened in my life that made it impossible to have a blog at that time, but then a cold February day when I was sitting with my computer I found my blog again and I decided to continue my blog.

I know some will say that a week is nothing special but I have learned so much this week already and I have meet a lot people/bloggers from many different countries and everyone has been so sweet and helpful.
I was jumping around the house when I got 11 followers! Thank you for following that means a lot to me.
It's been a great week and I cannot wait to see what the next week brings...

My teaser:
"Simple", I replied. "We're going to do the thing the Air elemental and the cops will least expect us to do."
He shook he's head "Don't say it. Please don't say it."

Fast Forward

Happy Valentine's day!

I must admit that the only plan I have for today is catching up on some reading, but that will be nice with a cup of hot chocolate and some quit music in the background.
Maybe I will make something nice for dinner today.

 

A new week has just started and that means that it's time to look forward and think about what to read this week.

 

I have just started Lord of the Fading Lands by C. L. Wilson and I plan on finishing that in a couple of days.
Then I will read Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs and Spider’s Bite by Jennifer Estep as they have been on my shelf for some time.
Hopefully I will also get to The Body Finder and Desires of the Dead by Kimberly Derting.

Red-Headed Stepchild
Jaye Wells
(Sabina Kane #1)
Published April 1st 2009


I have wanted to start this series for a long time but I have just not gotten around to it, I need to buy a copy!

RED-HEADED STEPCHILD DESCRIPTION:

In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina doesn’t really fit in. And being an assassin – the only profession fit for an outcast – doesn’t help matters. But she’s never brought her work home. Until now.

Her latest mission is uncomfortably complex, and threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races. As Sabina scrambles to figure out which side she’s on, she uncovers a tangled political web, some nasty facts about her family and some unexpected new talents. Any of these things could be worryingly life-changing, but together, they could be fatal …

This time, it’s personal.

Archangel's Consort
Nalini Singh
(Guild Hunter #3)
Published January 2011


I have waited for the release of this book and I'm very excited to see what's in store for Elena and Raphael.

ARCHANGEL'S CONSORT DESCRIPTION:

Vampire hunter Elena Deveraux and her lover, the lethally beautiful archangel Raphael, have returned home to New York only to face an uncompromising new evil…
A vampire has attacked a girls’ school—the assault one of sheer, vicious madness—and it is only the first act. Rampant bloodlust takes vampire after vampire, threatening to make the streets run with blood. Then Raphael himself begins to show signs of an uncontrolled rage, as inexplicable storms darken the city skyline and the earth itself shudders.
The omens are suddenly terrifyingly clear.
An ancient and malevolent immortal is rising. The violent winds whisper her name: Caliane. She has returned to reclaim her son, Raphael. Only one thing stands in her way: Elena, the consort who must be destroyed…

All Just glass

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

(Den of Shadows Sequel of Shattered Mirror)

Published January 11th 2011

I have been a fan of Amelia's work since her first book and it's great that she have written another book in the Den of Shadows series.

ALL JUST GLASS DESCRIPTION:

Sarah Vida has given up everything for love. From a legendary family of vampire-hunting witches, Sarah was raised to never trust a vampire, to never let her guard down, and to avoid all tricky attachments of the heart. But now Sarah IS a vampire—changed by the boy she thought she loved. Her family has forsaken her, and Sarah herself is disgusted by her appetite for blood. Aida Vida is Sarah's older sister, the good, reliable sibling who always does her family proud. But when Aida's mother insists that Sarah be found and killed, Aida is given the one assignment that she may not be able to carry out.

Taking place over just twenty-four hours, ALL JUST GLASS tells the story of a game-changing battle that will forever change the world of the Den of Shadows. And at its center is the story of two sisters who must choose between love and duty. Dark, fully-imagined, and hard to put down, ALL JUST GLASS will thrill Amelia's fans—old and new.

River Marked

Patricia Briggs
(Mercedes Thompson #6)
Expected publication: March 1st 2011


I wish I could read this book now I love Mercy and I enjoy every adventure.

RIVER MARKED DESCRIPTION:
Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She’s never known any others of her kind. Until now.
An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River—one that her father’s people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help…
