Title: Out for Blood
Series: House of Comarre #4
Author: Kristen Painter
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Release Date: October 30, 2012 Now Available!
As mentioned in a post for book #1, this is a highly original urban fantasy series. I’m not quite caught up yet, but for those of you who are, the next books is mere weeks away… I, for one, can’t wait to see where Chrysabelle’s story goes next!
Title: The Crimson Crown
Series: Seven Realms #4
Author: Cinda Williams Chima
Release Date: October 23, 2012 Now Available!
I read the “The Warrior Heir” a few years ago and really liked it, but never read on because the sequels followed different characters (which, for some reason, was unappealing at the time but now sounds fickle). In any case, the “Seven Realms” has the same protagonists from start to finish, and an interesting plot to boot. As the final book in the series, it is now in my top 10 “books I must read” list… review to follow. :)
Title: Beneath Darkening Moon
Series: Ripple Creek Werewolf #2
Author: Keri Arthur
Release Date: October 30, 2013 Now Available!
Keri has a new book out!! At this point in her career, it’s guaranteed to be a good read!
Title: The Candy Shop War: Arcade Catastrophe
Series: Candy Shop War #2
Author: Brandon Mull
Genre: Middle Grade
Release Date: October 23, 2012 Now Available!
I’ve mentioned its release date in the review of book #1, but now it’s official: the next book will be out in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to seeing what Mull has in store for these kids next!
Title: Hidden
Series: House of Night #10
Authors: P.C. and Kristin Cast
Release Date: October 16, 2012 Now Available!
I loved the first few books, and although I still enjoyed the later releases, I found them a bit repetitive. I’ve mostly continued reading out of loyalty and perhaps a fair bit of curiosity. Only two more to go after this release – I’m hoping they will blow me away! I believe I am the minority, however, so don’t let me skew your opinion. Most people are in love with ALL the books, not just the first few.
Title: A Memory of Light
Series: Wheel of Time #14
Author: Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson
Release Date: January 8, 2013 Now Available!
The Overview: When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. With The Gathering Storm (Book 12) andTowers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1 New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind. Edited by Jordan’s widow, who edited all of Jordan’s books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan’s legions of readers.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.
What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.
Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of time.
Nik’s Notes:
The final volume of the Wheel of Time series is almost upon us! If you haven’t read Robert Jordan yet, now’s your chance! You only have to wait a few months for the conclusion, not 20 years like the poor folk who’ve been following the series from the beginning.
