Cover Lover – 6 New Titles

In doing my usual cover hunt, I came across 6 more to post. Oh, and for any that haven’t heard, the big cover reveal for Veronica Roth‘s third Divergent book, Allegiant, will be done on May 9th – on the Today Show. With Ryan Seacrest. Huh.

This first cover is from Christina Henry and her Black Wings series. Black Heart will be released on October 29th.

I am not sure about this one. I enjoy Dani Harper‘s Wolf Shifter series, and I am looking forward to trying both of the new series she is starting up this fall. But this cover for the first book in the Grim series is a bit different. Not sure about the giant Mastiff or the funky tattoo, but I will be grabbing Storm Warrior when it is released on August 6th.

The third and final book in Marie Lu‘s very popular Legend series, Champion, will be released on November 5th.

Sophie Jordan starts a new series next March called Uninvited. The first book, also called Uninvited, features a heroine who loses everything when she is found to carry the gene that will one day make her a killer.

The credit for finding these next two goes to Aurora B., who emailed them to me today. Hell Bent is the much anticipated first book of Devon Monk‘s Allie Beckstrom spin-off series, Broken Magic, which will be released on November 5th.

And finally for today is Lauren Dane‘s Wild Darkness, the Bound by Magick book which is due out on November 5th.

 

This and That…

As always, in the process of updating the new release pages, I found a few more books that are on the horizon.

• The second book of Coreene Callahan‘s new Knight Avenged series has been pushed way back to April 8th of next year.
• November 5th will see the next Bound by Magick book from Lauren Dane, called Burning Wild.
• November 5th is also the date for a Thea Harrison Elder Races book, a Meljean Brook Iron Seas book, and Nalini Singh‘s next Guild Hunter book (featuring Raphael and Elena).  All have titles TBA.
• Author Lauren Kate‘s Fallen series (supposedly being optioned for a movie) is finished, so it looks like she is turning her attention to a new series, called Teardrop.  The first book, also called Teardrop, will be hitting the shelves on October 22nd.
• October 1st is the release date for Caris Roane‘s next Ascension novel, Born in Chains.
• Rather than info, this is more like lack of info.  Christine Feehan was recently asked what she would be working on next, and she said that after the long delayed Leopard’s Prey she was in fact without a contract.  She was not sure what would be coming, or when we would get it.  If I remember correctly, this same situation came up last year with Ms. Feehan, which just seems so strange to me.
• The next H&W Investigations book from Jess Haines, Forsaken by the Others, will be released on July 30th.
• Hannah Jayne‘s next Underworld Detection Agency novel, Under a Spell, will be out on August 13th.
• To Kiss a Dragon is the title of the next G.A. Aiken Dragon Kin book, and it is scheduled for release on October 1st.  No clue who this one is about, and if ever there was a series that needed a character guide, this is it.
• The pre-order links are up for Keri Arthur‘s 6th Dark Angels book, Darkness Splintered.  It will be out on November 5th.
• A couple of weeks ago, word came out that Devon Monk was starting an Allie Beckstrom spin-off series called Broken Magic.  Well, the pre-order links for the first book, Hell Bent, are up now.  It is due out on November 5th.
• October 1st is the release date for the next Cassie Palmer book from author Karen Chance, called Tempt the Stars.

Anything there you are looking forward to, or are you giving most of them a pass?  It looks like there is a ton coming out on November 5th, for some odd reason, so might have to save up for that weeks’ order.

Devon Monk Spin-off News…

I was doing my usual cruise around looking for new info when I stumbled across this tidbit over on Yummy Men and Kick Ass Chicks.  The Allie Beckstrom series from Devon Monk recently came to a close, but news is starting to come out about a spin off series set in the same world.  The Broken Magic books will feature Shame and Terric and be told from Shame’s point of view, and will be set three years after the end of Magic for a Price.  Book one will be called Hell Bent, and will tentatively be released this November, and it will be followed by Stone Cold next April.

If you would like a sneak peek, and un-edited excerpt can be found HERE on Devon Monk’s blog.

So, what do you think?  Are you looking forward to a return to this world, or do you think everything that needed to be done has already been taken care of?  How excited are you to get your hands on some Broken Magic?

Cover Lover – Mega Edition

Wow, there has been a ton of book covers released in the last few days, most of which I got from either Goodreads or Amazon.  This first one is Black City from Christina Henry, the fifth book in the Madeline Black series, which is due out on February 26th.

I forgot to up this one last cover lover post.  Demon Hunting in a Dive Bar is the third book in Lexi George‘s Demon series, due out next February.

The next Arcadia Bell novel from Jenn Bennett is called Binding the Shadows, and it will be available on May 28th.

It looks like the upcoming anthology, Enthralled, will feature a story from Lora Leigh‘s Breeds series.  There are also stories from Alyssa Day, Meljean Brook, and Lucy Monroe.  Look for it on July 2nd.

The first book from Ann Aguirre‘s (writing as A.A. Aguirre) upcoming Apparatus Infernum series, Bronze Gods, now has a cover.  It will be released on April 30th.

It looks like there was a novella from the Sharie Kohler Moon Chasers series that I totally missed.  Darkest Temptation was released on October 30th.

Still going…Darkness Bred is the second book from Stella Cameron‘s Chimney Rock series, which should be available on May 28th.

Robin D. Owens will release the next book in her Celta Heartmates series, Heart Fortune, on August 6th.

And finally, the cover has been released for the second book in Bec McMaster‘s London Steampunk series.  Heart of Iron will be out on May 7th.

There were a few more, but they haven’t really been put “out there” yet, so I am holding back a bit.  Which one or ones did you like from this batch?  Any that you can’t wait to get your hands on?

Random Updates…

I have been updating the new release pages over the last week or so, and there were a few things that popped up worth noting…

• Kate Daniels 6 now officially has a name, and any info on an upcoming Ilona Andrews‘ book is a good thing.  Magic Rises will be released next July.
• It looks like the next Morganville Vampire book from Rachel Caine will be called Fall of Night, and it will be released in hardcover on May 7th.
• Jean Johnson will be writing what appears to be a spin-off of her Sons of Destiny series.  This one is called Guardians of Destiny, and the first book is The Tower, which should be released on June 4th.
• Kady Cross will release the third book of her Steampunk Chronicles series, The Girl With The Iron Touch, on June 1st.
• Looks like the Zombies are back.  White Trash Zombie Apocalypse, the third book of Diana Rowland‘s White Trash Zombies series, will be released early next year.
• Book number 22 (if I remember correctly) of Laurell K. Hamilton‘s Anita Blake series will be called Affliction.  Look for it in hardcover on June 4th.
• The next Yasmine Galenorn Indigo Court book, Night Vision, will be coming out on July 2nd.

• Cold Copper is the title of the next Age of Steam novel from Devon Monk, and it will be on the shelves on July 2nd.

I finished my third read of the second Darynda Jones Charley Davidson book, Second Grave on the Left, and I will update the character guide for it by tomorrow night.  I had read both books two and three once for enjoyment, and then once for the guides.  Then I deleted all of the notes I had made, so this is actually round three.  I want to have them updated by the time Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet hits the shelves on October 30th.  Also, the Thea Harrison novella Hunter’s Season (I hate e-books) slipped by me, and that will be added to the Elder Races guide within the next couple of days, as well.  WordPress has been bitchy and not updating properly, so I had to take a bit of a break.  That will hopefully get back to normal tomorrow.

Cover Lover – 7 New Titles

After getting behind the last week or so, I debated about going back and tracking down what covers I had missed, but it didn’t seem like too many at all.  This batch is a bit on the bigger side, with a couple of good ones.  Devon Monk continues her Allie Beckstrom series with the release of Magic for a Price on November 6th.

This one is from author Caris Roane.  Gates of Rapture is the 6th book in her Guardians of Ascension series, due out on December 26th.

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.
