Archangel's Consort

Nalini Singh

(Guild Hunter #3)

Published January 25th 2011

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…


River Marked
Patricia Briggs
(Mercedes Thompson #6)
Published March 1st 2011

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...

City of Fallen Angels 
Cassandra Clare
(The Mortal Instruments #4)
Published April 5th 2011

City of Fallen Angels takes place two months after the events of City of Glass. In it, a mysterious someone’s killing the Shadowhunters who used to be in Valentine’s Circle and displaying their bodies around New York City in a manner designed to provoke hostility between Downworlders and Shadowhunters, leaving tensions running high in the city and disrupting Clary’s plan to lead as normal a life as she can — training to be a Shadowhunter, and pursuing her relationship with Jace. As Jace and Clary delve into the issue of the murdered Shadowhunters, they discover a mystery that has deeply personal consequences for them — consequences that may strengthen their relationship, or rip it apart forever.

Meanwhile, internecine warfare among vampires is tearing the Downworld community apart, and only Simon — the Daylighter who everyone wants on their side — can decide the outcome; too bad he wants nothing to do with Downworld politics. Love, blood, betrayal and revenge: the stakes are higher than ever in City of Fallen Angels.

Follow Friday & Blog hop (6)

 

Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee's View

This week's question is:

Keeping with the dystopian and apocalypse theme that seems to be running rampant on parajunkee.com, I have one very hard question for you: If you were stocking your bomb shelter, what books would you HAVE to include if you only had space for ten?

Very tough question, I think I would take:
The Chicagoland Vampires series (4) (with Hard Bitten)
The Hunger Games series (3)
The Host by Stephenie Meyer

I have to think for a while before I put the last two in.

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Crazy-For-Books

This week's question is:

Summer is coming quickly - what 2011 summer release are you are most looking forward to?

Another tough question as there are a lot of books on that list!

I'm really looking forward to Bloodlines by Richelle Mead, I loved her Vampire Academy series and I cannot wait to read more even if it's not about Rose I think it's going to be another great adventure.

Bloodlines will be out August 23rd 2011.

 

Cover art (14) Trance and If I Die

Wow there a lot of new covers here are two more:

Anything with purple catch my interest. I like her hair to with the purple in it. I also like the energy/light that sparks from her hand, it give the book a very mysterious and powerful look.

Expected publication: October 25, 2011 US.

About Trance:

Fifteen years ago, Teresa “Trance” West was a skilled telepath and a proud member of the Ranger Corps. But ever since the Rangers were inexplicably rendered powerless at the climax of the devastating Meta War, she’s bounced from one dead-end job to another. Now her powers have reappeared just as mysteriously as they vanished— only they’re completely transformed and more potent than ever. And they’re threatening to destroy her.

Trance heads to Los Angeles to track down the surviving Rangers and discover who restored her powers—and why—but a phantom enemy is determined to kill them before they can reassemble. As they dodge his deadly attacks and come to terms with their new role as heroes, Trance and the rest of the team set out to annihilate the sinister madman . . . only to discover their own powers are his greatest weapons.

Pretty, pretty, pretty this cover looks great, the dress is beautiful I like how it's flowing around them.

I cannot wait to read it. I love rachel Vincent's books.

Expected publication: September 20th 2011 US.

About If I Die:
No one wants to be this teacher’s pet . . .

Everyone else is talking about Eastlake High’s gorgeous new math teacher, Mr. Beck, but Kaylee Cavanaugh has bigger things on her mind. Kaylee’s a banshee—her scream is a portent of death.

But the next scream might hit too close to home. Kaylee’s borrowed lifeline has almost run out.

Yeah—it’s a shock to her, too. So to distract herself from her own problems, Kaylee is determined to defend her school against the latest supernatural threat. That hot new teacher is really an incubus, who feeds from the desire of unsuspecting students. The only girls immune to his lure are Kaylee and Sabine, her boyfriend’s delinquent ex-girlfriend. Now the unlikely allies have to get rid of Mr. Beck…before he discovers they aren’t quite human either.

But Kaylee’s running out of time, and those who love her will do anything to save her life.

Anything.

Let me know what you think about them?

Cover art (13) Summer's Crossing and Enshadowed

Very beautiful cover, I don't feel like I see that many green covers at the moment. The vines adds an extra touch to the cover.

Expected publication: June 1st 2011.

I like how this cover keeps the same style as the others in this series. The models on the cover as well as the title.
Expected publication: January 24th 2012.


What do you think of these, do you like/dislike?
