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.
Coming Soon: A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson
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.
Coming Soon: Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
Title: Frost Burned
Series: Mercy Thompson #7
Author: Patricia Briggs
Release Date: March 5, 2013 Now Available!
The Overview: Mercy Thompson’s life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Adam Hauptman—the charismatic Alpha of the local werewolf pack—has made her a stepmother to his daughter Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of blissful normalcy to Mercy’s life. But on the edges of humanity, what passes for a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more After an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can’t reach Adam—or anyone else in the pack for that matter. They’ve all been abducted. Through their mating bond, all Mercy knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam’s disappearance may be related—and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.
Nik’s Notes:
One of the best urban fantasies out there – if you haven’t read Patricia Briggs, you’re sorely missing out!
Recommendations: If you love Mercy, but have yet to read the Alpha and Omega spin-off series, consider doing so before March, as there are a few events that might add some great back-history for Frost Burned. I recommend you start with “Alpha and Omega” a novella available in either ebook format or part of the anthology “On the Prowl.”
Coming Soon: Bard’s Oath by Joanne Bertin
Title: The Bard’s Oath
Series: Last Dragonlord #3
Author: Joanne Bertin
Release Date: November 27, 2012 Now Available!
The Overview: In The Last Dragonlord and Dragon and Phoenix Joanne Bertin created a world unlike our own, where Dragonlords soar in the skies above the many realms of the land. The Dragonlords’ magic is unique, giving them the ability to change from dragon to human form; to communicate silently among themselves; and other abilities not known to mortals. For many millennia, the Dragonlords have been a blessing to the world, with their great magic and awesome power. And though they live far longer than the humans who they resemble when not in their draconic state, these fabled changelings are still loyal to their human friends.
Nik’s Notes:
This is a long overdue release! After reading the first two books back in 2000 (and loving them), I eventually resigned myself to never knowing what happens next, but no longer! Twelve years in the making, I am so excited to finish this series I can hardly stand it! If you’ve never read it, now’s your chance! The conclusion iIt’ss only a mere two months away! ;)
