Blood on the Bayou (Annabelle Lee, #2)Blood on the Bayou by Stacey Jay

ISBN: 9781439189870

Price: $7.99/$9.99

On Sale: 3/27/12

Description:

First came a terrorist attack. Then the mutations—and Fey who had lived in harmony with humans turned deadly. Now most people hide behind iron gates. But those who are immune—and those with enough courage—can venture out into the Louisiana Delta . . . and a nightmare world of magic.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

Annabelle Lee, a Fairy Containment and Control agent with immunity to fairy venom, is once again called upon to help solve a murder deep in the bayou. But this one’s off the books. Her ex-lover, Hitch, needs her help searching for a secret chemical weapons lab and an FBI mole providing it with human lab rats.

Helping Hitch means certain interpersonal disaster with her estranged boyfriend, but Annabelle knows what it feels like to be a lab rat. Her new fairy-attack-induced paranormal abilities seem to have few negative side effects, but would that change if she stopped injecting herself with the mystery drug delivered to her by the even more mysterious—not to mention ridiculously attractive—Tucker? A man who can turn invisible at will, and who makes no bones about how dead she’ll be if she reveals his secrets?

As the murder investigation progresses, Annabelle quickly learns Tucker isn’t the only one with secrets, and that the only things that cut deeper than a friend’s deception are the lies we tell ourselves.

Deadly Descendant by Jenna Black

ISBN: 9781451606805

Price: $7.99/$9.99

On Sale: 4/24/12

Description

An ancient evil is unleashed in the modern world— unless one fearless P.I. can hunt it down. . . . Nikki Glass, Immortal Huntress, returns in this new novel in the acclaimed series by Jenna Black.

As a living descendant of Artemis the Huntress, private investigator Nikki Glass knows how to track someone down. But when an Oracle shows up, warning the Descendants about wild dog attacks in Washington, D.C., Nikki is afraid it might be a trap. The Olympians believe the “dogs” are really jackals, controlled by a blood-crazed descendant of the Egyptian death-god Anubis. Whatever. . . . If Nikki hopes to muzzle Dogboy, she’s got to catch him in the act. But when she stakes out a local cemetery, she ends up face-to-snout with a snarling pack of shadow-jackals whose bite is worse than their bark. These hellhounds are deadly—even for an immortal like Nikki. “Dog” spelled backward may be “god,” but that won’t stop Nikki from teaching these old gods some new tricks. Like playing dead.

Summoning the Night: An Arcadia Bell Novel by Jenn Bennet

ISBN: 9781451620535

Price: $7.99/$9.99

On Sale: 4/24/12

Description

MAGICAL TRICKS. DEMONIC TREATS.

After narrowly escaping her fate as a sacrificial scapegoat, Arcadia Bell is back to normal. Or at least as ordinary as life can be for a renegade magician and owner of a tiki bar that caters to Earthbound demons. She’s gearing up for the busiest day of the year—Halloween—when a vengeful kidnapper paralyzes the community. The influential head of the local Hellfire Club taps Cady to track down the fiendish bogeyman, and now that she’s dating red-hot Lon Butler, the Club’s wayward son, she can hardly say no.

Cady and Lon untangle a gruesome thirty-year trail of clues that points to danger for the club members’ children. But locating the person behind the terror will require some metaphysical help from Cady’s loyal bar patrons as well as her potent new Moonchild powers—and she’d better figure it out before the final victim disappears and her own darkest secret becomes her biggest enemy.

    So, I’m scrolling down and I see “Blood on the Bayou.” I think, “ooo, I was surprised by how much I like the first one, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on the second.”

    Then I scroll some more and see “Dark Descendent.” I totally enjoyed how Jenna Black employed mythology in her first entrance to this series, especially since I feel it’s rarer than it should be to have a great series based in mythology. Especially compared to the number of great books that have shifters and vampires.

    Finally, “Summoning the Moon.” I’ve been counting down the days until this book is released. “Kindling the Moon” took me by surprise with how great it was and I’ve been gently convincing (read: straight up blackmailing) my friends to read it.

    I just want to know one thing: who’s soul did you sell to get these books and where do I sign up?
