Fire Study and Magic Study by Maria V Snyder
Yelena meets new challenges as she discovers who she is.


I had to get these after reading book 1.



Wicked Game by Jeri Smith Ready, won @Bookreadertimes 
Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life, even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job. She takes an internship at a local radio station, whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues, 60s psychedelia, 80s Goth, and more, all with an uncannily authentic flair. Ciara soon discovers how the DJs maintain their cred: they’re vampires, stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned.

Spirited Away by Cindy Miles, won @Lori Brighton
Knight Tristan de Barre and his men were murdered in 1292, their souls cursed to roam Dreadmoor Castle forever. Forensic archeologist Andi Monroe is excavating the site and studying the legend of a medieval knight who disappeared. But although she's usually rational, Andi could swear she's met the handsome knight's ghost. Until she finds a way to lift the curse, though, love doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.

Crime scene at Cardwell Ranch by BJ Daniels
After Hudson Savage betrayed her, Dana Cardwell hoped never to lay eyes on the seductive cowboy again. Until a bunch of old bones showed up on her family ranch. Suddenly her former lover was back in her life in a big way—to investigate a decades-old crime.

Song of the Mountains by Anne Ireland, won @ Bittenbybooks month long Halloween bash. Got to pick out an e-book from Eternal Press.

It is Morgan’s duty to help the Prince of Wales in his fight against oppressive England. But when Morgan is tricked into a marriage he cannot honour, he finds himself desperately in love with the wife of another man. Now as loyalty to his leader and the conflicts in his heart collide, can anything save Morgan and the nation he loves beyond his life?

  2. You received some interesting books this week. I want to read Magic Study...but I have to admit I probably wouldn't have ever noticed it if the cover wasn't so beautiful. I better go buy Poison Study.

    Oh I love the study covers. sadly those are not the ones I have but it was those that made me look at the books for the first time. Great covers.

    Marie,
    I do love eyecatching covers. They are teh best.

    Thanks JoJo

    Carol,
    Oh it looks and sounds so funny. I can't wait to start it.

    Leontine,
    These are the best Snyder covers. The ones I have look so girly and sweet, then there are some that look very YA and some that look YA fantasy.- But these are lovely.

    Elysium,
    Oh run out and get them at once :D

    Vivienne,
    Do read it, and I hope you will fall for it too

    Aarti,
    I know, yay :D I was soooooo happy

  12. I just got Spirited Away in the mail last week too :).

    I read McGowan's Ghost and loved it. Thought it was really fun with a touch of dark to it. But then I read Highland Knight, and didn't really get into it much. It seemed to draw out longer than it needed. But I'm not giving up! I have Thirteen Chances also to read :).

    Aha, I have read nothing else by her, but at least no I know what to look for if I want more. I will see after I have read it :D
