Happy
Tuesday everyone! Are you ready for this week’s temptations? Good, I’m not the
only one! Here’s what I found for us this week. Did I miss anything? Leave me a
comment and tell me what you’ve been looking forward to.
A Cursed Awakened by Cecy Robson
Weird Girls, #0.4

Celia Wird
shouldn’t possess the ability to transform into a tigress. Her three sisters
should never be able to burst into flames, heal wounds, or transform common
objects into deadly weapons. And yet they do.
Before they
were born, the Wird Sisters were cursed by a spell that was intended to destroy
them, not endow them with extraordinary powers. The sisters’ magic is untamed
and explosive at best, and time is running out for them to take
command.
Vampires
have targeted Celia’s sweet, tragically human ex-boyfriend Danny. The sisters
rush to his aid, but in order to take down the vamps, first they must face
their dark past and break a spell that’s screwing up their powers. Except this
curse wasn’t meant to be broken . . . and the witch who cast it isn’t done
toying with them yet.
Dangerous Calling by A.J. Larrieu
The Shadowminds, #2 (Releases August 18, 2014)

Knowing
firsthand the hell of growing up without a mentor, she agrees to meet and help
Diana, a young Shadowmind. But when Cass shows up, the terrified woman changes
her mind and flees. Cass and Shane track her across New Orleans, and soon
discover that Diana is being held against her will by an illicit organization
that’s selling her rare clairvoyant skills to the highest bidder. In charge is
an ancient creature more powerful than any they’ve ever encountered. And
apparently she wants Shane dead.
Cass and
Shane work to free Diana. But as Cass uses more and more power, drawing it from
her friends in the fight against evil, she feels an addictive pull that
challenges her control. And, in the end, Cass may be the greatest threat to
those she loves the most.
Ever After by Kate Serine
Transplanted Tales, #4
For
centuries, Gideon Montrose has served the King of Fairies without question and,
often, without mercy. So when the King orders him to apprehend a notorious
thief, Gideon obeys. But when he finally gets his hands on the beautiful
culprit, Gideon’s in for a shock.
Arabella
Locksley is none other than the spirited, unpredictable woman he knew back in
Make Believe as Robin Hood — the love of his life whose tragic death destroyed
his chance at Happily Ever After.
Now, he has
an impossible choice. Betray the woman he once loved, or the king he’s bound to
serve?
Flight from Hell by Yasmine Galenorn
Otherworld, #15.5

When the
half-demon Carter approaches Menolly and her sisters desperately asking for
their help, they think he's just had a tiff with Shimmer, his blue dragon
girlfriend.
But after
talking to Alex Radcliffe, the owner of the Fly By Night Magical Investigations
Agency where Shimmer works, they suspect that she has been kidnapped by an old
enemy of Alex's.
Now, Alex
must join forces with the D'Artigo sisters in a desperate race to find Shimmer
before Julian, a powerful vampire from Alex's past with a grudge to settle, can
use the dragon to wreak havoc on Seattle as revenge.
Sins of Eden by S.M. Reine
Ascension,
#7 (Releases August 22, 2014)
Until Elise
Kavanagh murdered them.
A demon
named Belphegor has entered the Origin and become a new god, triggering
genesis: the death and rebirth of the entire universe. He wants Elise to join
him in Eden for the end of all things, but only once she’s watched everyone she
cares about die painfully under his heel.
With nothing but a dwindling army of werewolves, Elise must
enter Eden, slaughter Belphegor, and stop the genesis. But Belphegor’s smarter
than Adam ever was, and far crueler. He’s spent lifetimes preparing for
this.
He will have
his world of Hellfire. He will have victory. And he will have Elise’s
life…
The Ripper Affair by Lillith Saintcrow
Bannon & Clare, #3

Sorcery.
Treason. Madness. And, of course, murder most foul...
Archibald
Clare, mentath in the service of Britannia, is about his usual
business--solving crimes and restoring public order until a shattering accident
places him in the care of Emma Bannon, sorceress Prime, who once served...and
now simply remains at home, tending her solarium in reasonably quiet
contentment. What Clare needs now is time to recover, and not so incidentally,
a measure of calm to repair his faculties of Logic and Reason. Without them, he
is not his best. One could even say that without them, he is not even properly
a mentath at all.
Unfortunately, calm and rest will not be found. There is a
killer hiding in the sorcerous steam-hells of Londinium, stalking the Eastron
End and unseaming poor women of a certain reputation. A handful of drabs
murdered on cold autumn nights would make no difference...but the killings echo
in the highest circles possible, and threaten to bring the entire edifice of
Empire down in smoking ruins.
Now Emma
Bannon, once more, is pressed into service and Archibald Clare, once more, is
determined to aid her. The secrets between these two old friends may give an
ambitious sorcerer the means to bring down the Crown. And there is still no way
to reliably find a hansom when one needs it most.
Britannia is
threatened. Londinium quakes. Sorcery births an unholy monster.
The game is
afoot...
Visions by Kelley Armstrong
Cainsville, #2

Omens, the
first installment in Kelley Armstrong’s exciting new series, introduced Olivia
Taylor-Jones, daughter of notorious serial killers, and Gabriel Walsh, the
self-serving, morally ambiguous lawyer who became her unlikely ally. Together,
they chased down a devious killer and partially cleared her parents of their
horrifying crimes.
Their
success, however, is short-lived. While Olivia takes refuge in the old,
secluded town of Cainsville, Gabriel’s past mistakes have come to light,
creating a rift between the pair just when she needs his help the
most.
Olivia finds
a dead woman in her car, dressed to look like her, but the body vanishes before
anyone else sees it. Olivia’s convinced it’s another omen, a sign of impending
danger. But then she learns that a troubled young woman went missing just days
ago—the same woman Olivia found dead in her car. Someone has gone to great
lengths to kill and leave this young woman as a warning. But why? And what role
has her new home played in this disturbing murder?
Olivia’s
effort to uncover the truth places her in the crosshairs of old and powerful
forces, forces that have their own agenda, and closely guarded secrets they
don’t want revealed.
