1. Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
Mercy Thompson returns in the seventh novel in the #1 New
York Times bestselling series.
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.
2. Into the Spotlight by Heather Long
Fifty years ago, Jeannie Williams made her way to Las Vegas
seeking fame and fortune. Instead, she lost her soul and wound up performing nightly
shows at the Arcana Royale. Every day, she straps on her feathers, her glitter,
her stilettos, and she dances. Every day, it’s the same.
Until the day he walks in.
For six centuries, Malcolm Reynolds has been the go-to guy
for anything his family needs: warrior, diplomat, wrangler, researcher, and now
an attorney. He enters the Arcana Royale Casino, intent on negotiating the
release of his cousin’s bad debt, but one look at the golden-skinned showgirl
ignites a fire of need that he’s never experienced. When the fantasy come true
sits at his table, words he never expected to hear come out of her lush mouth:
“I need your help.”
Now he’s in for the toughest battle of his life, because the
Overseers own both his cousin’s debt and her soul. And he’s not planning on
leaving the Royale without either one.
This book has been previously published and has been revised
and expanded from its original release.
Warning: Contains high-stakes games, sexy showgirls, and a
powerful showdown between a vampire that can’t lose and the House that never
does. Spells, slots, sirens and sex, oh my!

Reid learns that Grier has been kidnapped by a dangerous ring of criminals, he

I'm totally reading Frost Burned first, normally I dive into Heather's books but since I know she's super excited about the new Mercy Thompson book, she'll forgive me. So this is pretty much my reading order. I'll have a review for these books up as quickly as I can. I'm also considering a giveaway party since I'm turning 25, I'm thinking something in August, around my mom's birthday since she's a big part of the reason I read, and it gives me time to get some kick ass prizes lined up.
So, what are you looking forward to reading this next week, what will be your release day read?
Totally a tie between Stephanie Tyler and Patricia Briggs! But I figure since lonely Is The Night is a novella, I can fit them both in together! It'll be a good reading week for sure!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read that Heather Long one. Also, hay hay giveaway!
