You probably know that I loved Drain You by M. Beth Bloom -- a tongue-in-cheek look at the 90s and girl-meets-vampire stories. If you missed it, you can read my review and fun 90s glossary here.
Also a huge fan of Kiersten White. Can't wait to read the final installment in Evie and Lend's story in Endlessly.
Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard. I haven't read that one but Caitlin recommends it for fans of Cassie Clare's Infernal Devices series and zombie fans in general. Sounds intriguing, but I'll have to grill Caitlin about the gore level. Check out Caitlin's review here.
Other books releasing this week:
Cold Fury by T.M. Goeglein See Heather@Flyleaf Review's thoughts here.
The Triumph of Death (Alex Van Helsing #3) by Jason Henderson
Guitar Notes by Mary Amato
Red Heart Tattoo by Lurlene McDaniel
Oh, Something Strange & Deadly isn't TOO gory. I know you're not a fan of zombie novels, but it's not that bad, really. At least it wasn't to me. But then again, I LOVE zombie novels, gore or no gore. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI really need to pick up Drain You. Thanks for the reminder. :) And I'll definitely be checking out the last installment of the Paranormalcy series. I'm rooting for more Reth...he's an intriguing character.
Well, that is good to know about the gore.
DeleteAnd I agree that I hope Reth gets some kind of happy ending. Just not with Evie.
I still need to read Supernaturally, but I do have Endlessly coming to me in the mail soon! Also, a blogger is sending me an ARC of Drain You! Yay!!
ReplyDeleteI just love the Paranormalcy series!
DeleteAnd yay -- hope you like Drain You!
Yeah, Something Strange and Deadly is not very gory and it has some interesting twists on the zombies (like a necromancer is raising them rather than a virus bringing them back to "life").
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to Supernaturally-I'm going to a book signing with White and I'm super excited about it!
Ooh, I like the sounds of that. I'm going to try it.
DeleteCan't wait for Endlessly!!
Well, lol, these all look good. Loved your review of Drian You and might pick it up someday. I never did persue Kristin Whites Paranormalcy novels tho. Enjoy the ending!
ReplyDeleteThanks -- the Paranormalcy books are so funny. Love Evie as a character!
DeleteWow this is awesome, I feel so honored. Thank you for including me in this post. Something Strange and Deadly is perfect for anyone, even if you don't like zombies because it's such a unique story with the Dead, necromancers, and also a spirit. I still need to read Supernaturally but at least I won't have to wait for Endlessly to come out.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that it's not too scary -- I'm going to try it out!
DeleteI am reading Endlessly right now!! I swear it was torture waiting for it to come out. I won a pre-order of Something Strange and Deadly from a giveaway a little while ago, so that should be on it's way to me. Drain You and Cold Fury both sound really good too.
ReplyDeleteJEALOUS!!!
DeleteOh boy Oh boy! I'm meeting Cynthia Hand, Kiersten White, Marie Lu, and Robin LaFevers today!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got to meet Marie Lu at BEA. So jealous; those are some of my favorite YA authors!!
DeleteGreat week for books! I still need to read Paranormalcy one of these days! And I'd also like to read Drain You (since you loved it so much) and Cold Fury. Thanks for these lists--it's nice to know just what's coming out when. I normally get confused because I'll see a review of a book and then it doesn't actually come out for 2 months and when it does I'm like, "Wait, that's just now coming out?" So these posts help! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're helpful. I like them because I can figure out what I've already read and what I still want to buy....
DeleteDRain You is definitely on my TBR list
ReplyDeleteHope you like it as much as I did!
DeleteI must be getting awfully fussy, because none of these books shout out MUST READ to me.
ReplyDeletethat's okay -- maybe next week!
DeleteOooh, a good week for me! I love the sound of Drain You, Something Strange and Deadly (I'm on hold at the library), and Cold Fury, which sounds totally awesome! Thanks as always for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think once you read them!
DeleteEndlessly yay! I'm really excited for that! Didn't even realize it was already time since I have so many books lol sad really. I also want to read Something Strange and Deadly.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for both of those!
DeleteI still need to get Supernaturally. I went out of my way to get a signed copy when it came out last year and... still haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteI just love Evie and her wisecracking. Such fun books!
DeleteHey, you rock! Thanks for the link to my Cold Fury review:)
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Supernaturally as much as Paranormalcy but I am curious to see how everything wraps up with Evie:)
I'm starting Drain You next!!
OOOH-- can't wait to see what you think!
DeleteI recently re-read Supernaturally and Paranormalcy in anticipation of Endlessly's release :D
ReplyDeleteI actually listened to the audio of Paranormalcy to review for Supernaturally, but I don't think I'll have time to do that this time around!
DeleteI think I picked up Paranormalcy when it was a 2.99 ebook a while back, but I can't remember and I'm too scared to look at my unread book list but I've heard nothing but good things about those books.
ReplyDeleteObviously I'm looking forward to Drain You and I'll probably be raeding it soon. :)
I really enjoyed that series!
DeleteI've heard a lot about Strange and Deadly and I hope to read it soon. For Paranormalcy I'll waiting for translation to come here! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope the translation makes it to you soon :)
DeleteSomething Strange and Deadly sounds really good! And I've been wanting to read Drain you since reading your review..lol
ReplyDeleteExciting books this week!
I know -- I'm very excited too!
DeleteAll three of these I'm looking forward to reading. Endlessly is being shipped to my library right now and I should have it tomorrow or early next week to read. Her new series looks great - already pre-ordered the first book, Mind Games.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! Jealous. My library is taking forever to get it to me.
DeleteAlso excited about her new series!
Picked it up today. I'm looking forward to reading it and also seeing what you think about it. I really liked the first book, the second book wasn't as good to me, so I'm hoping this one will be good.
DeleteI love Kiersten White and Endlessly is one of the books I was most looking forward to in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI have just finished reading Endlessly, and whilst I won't give anything away, I will say that if you enjoy Kiersten's humor in this series, you won't be disappointed :)
Oh, good! I'm really looking forward to reading it and haven't seen any reviews at all!
