Cover Lover – 6 New Titles

A few more to add to the old cover pile.  Julie at Yummy Men and Kick Ass Chicks upped the first two at her site yesterday.  Numero uno is the much anticipated next installment of the Allie Beckstrom series from Devon Monk.  Magic Without Mercy is due out on April 3rd.

And the second one is also thanks to Julie.  A Sliver of Shadow is the follow up to Allison Pang’s A Brush of Darkness, and should be available on February 28th.

I have never read Jennifer Estep‘s Elemental Assassin series, but I was very pleasantly surprised by her Mythos Academy books.  Dark Frost is the third full book in the series, and is due out on May 29th.  I find the model somehow…off looking, but still can’t wait for the book.

For some reason, I thought I had upped this one already.  Huh, must be getting old.  Anyways, Kiss of the Goblin Prince is the second book in the Shadowlands series from Shona Husk, and should be out next summer.

Lisa Renee Jones continues her Zodius series with the release of The Danger That is Damion.  It should be out on May 1st.

And this final one is from Amber Benson and her Calliope Reaper-Jones series.  How to Be Death is hitting the shelves next February, but while I do adore the ginormous dog in the background, the strange face on the model isn’t working for me.

Cover Lover – 3 New Titles

Not sure where all of the covers are coming from the last couple of days, but I will take them while I can get them…Jo Carlisle starts up her new Lords of Pleasure series this month, and now the cover for the second book has been released.  This one will be called Desire After Dark, and is due out next August.

Another “second book” cover is this one from Devon Monk.  Her Age of Steam series that started with Dead Iron will continue next July with the release of Tin Swift.

And finally, this one is from Kat Richardson and her Greywalker series.  Seawitch is the seventh book, due out on August 7th.

But when a demon threatens her life, she must turn to mythology’s darkest warrior for protection…

Caligo of the Cimmerians has never met a woman as warm, sunny and inviting as Tessa. Their sizzling mutual attraction quickly sweeps the two of them into a love story that’s worthy of the gods…

The long, long delayed Fallen series by Anne Marsh finally gets its kickoff this week with the release of Bond With Me.  This one was originally scheduled for last year, but just seemed to keep getting shuffled around.  Book two, His Dark Bond, will follow in January.

Cover Blurb…

Fallen angels… They rule Moscow’s seedy underworld, promising untold pleasure to the females who dare to mate them. That promise – and Brends Duranov’s own raw sexual power – has hopefuls mobbing the velvet rope outside his elite club G2’s.

But Mischka Baran has no intention of hooking up with one of the Fallen. Not even after Brends gives her an unforgettable taste of the sin and seduction he can deliver with those wicked lips. She’s after information, not a stint as some Goblin’s toy of the month. What she doesn’t know is that with a sadistic killer carving up his brethren, Brends is playing for keeps, hunting the one woman whose bloodline can end the mayhem, whose bond can restore his lost wings.

Popular author Devon Monk gets on the Steampunk wagon with the release of Dead Iron.  It is the first book in her new Age of Steam series.

Cover Blurb…

In an alternate 1800′s America where steam, iron, and magic collide, the only thing a man can count on is his guns, gears, and grit.  Although the devisers have civilized the east with their contraptions, civilization hasn’t tamed the frontier that bounty hunter Cedar Hunt rides. Cursed by lycanthropy and carrying the guilt of his brother’s death, he’s a hard man for hire. But when a trio of miners offers him the possibility that his brother may yet survive, Cedar isn’t going to haggle for payment. All he has to do for them is find the Holder: a powerful device created by mad devisers from the realm of the Strange.

The Holder is in the hands of Shard Lefel, a dandified railroad tycoon who’s come to Hallelujah, Oregon, promising a civilized tomorrow. But what Cedar cannot know is that Lefel is an ancient Strange banished to walk this land for centuries. Now nearing the end of his sentence, Lefel is desperately searching for a way to fend off his own mortality–and the Holder may be the key.

And finally, Viper Moon is the first book from Lee Roland‘s Dark Huntress series.  It will be followed next April by book two, called Vengeance Moon.

Cover Blurb…

Cassandra Archer is the huntress. She has faithfully served the earth Mother for years, rescuing kidnapped children from monsters—both human and supernatural—dwelling in the ruins of the Barrows District.

But when two children are kidnapped under similar circumstances, all clues point to a cataclysmic event on the next dark moon. Now Cass must race against the clock and prevent a sacrifice that could destroy the entire town…

Random Updates…

Soooo, every six months or so, I show just how dull my life is by going through the new release schedules, month by month, and plugging each and every author’s name into Amazon.com and Goodreads to see what they have coming out next.  Then, I check each author’s website and blog to see what is going on, too.  Then I update the “coming attractions” for each series.  I said life was dull, right?

Anyhow, I have made it through July 2011, and all of the reading lists for each title should be completely up to date, and all links added where available.  On my searches, I found some coming soon info on quite a few series…
