 | Token of Darkness by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Summary: Cooper Blake has everything going for him—until he wakes from a car accident with his football career in ruins and a mysterious, attractive girl by his side. Cooper doesn’t know how Samantha got there or why he can see her; all he knows is that she’s a ghost, and the shadows that surround her seem intent on destroying her. No one from Cooper’s old life would understand what he can barely grasp himself. . . . But Delilah, the captain of the cheerleading squad, has secrets of her own, like her ability to see beyond the physical world, and her tangled history with Brent, a loner from a neighboring school who can hear strangers’ most intimate thoughts. Delilah and Brent know that Cooper is in more trouble than he realizes, and that Samantha may not be as innocent as she has led Cooper to believe. But the only way to figure out where Samantha came from will put them all in more danger than they ever dreamed possible. - Reviewed By: |

 | Eleventh Grade Burns by Heather Brewer Summary: As Vlad enters his junior year of high school, he has much more than the regular teenage angst to contend with, in this fourth installment of Brewer's bestselling series. - Reviewed By: |

 | First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost Summary: The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows—her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield—and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family's past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness—and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her. He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human—even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together . . . Because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost. - Reviewed By: |

 | Gone by Lisa McMann Summary: Janie thought she knew what her future held. And she thought she’d made her peace with it. But she can’t handle dragging Cabel down with her. She knows he will stay with her, despite what she sees in his dreams. He’s amazing. And she’s a train wreck. Janie sees only one way to give him the life he deserves: She has to disappear. And it’s going to kill them both. Then a stranger enters her life — and everything unravels. The future Janie once faced now has an ominous twist, and her choices are more dire than she’d ever thought possible. She alone must decide between the lesser of two evils. And time is running out. . . . - Reviewed By: |

 | Crossroads by Moira Rogers Summary: Coming from a family with psychic gifts, Derek Gabriel was aware of but separate from the dangers of the supernatural world, until a rogue wolf shifter stripped away his humanity. The change he barely survived didn-t drive him insane, but the cultural bias against him as an inferior transformed wolf might. And it doesn-t help that he-s fallen for the daughter of the most powerful wolf in the country. Almost from the moment she was born, Nicole Peyton started planning her escape from the strict confines of elite shapeshifter society, an old-fashioned world where women are valued only for their bloodlines and bank accounts. In New Orleans she has a bar she loves, friends in decidedly low places, and a smoldering sensual tension with an incredibly attractive and deliciously unsuitable man. Their forbidden longing erupts into unbridled need-until Nick-s sister burns into town with a strike team hard on her heels. Saving her means Nick has to play by the Conclave-s rules-and give up the man she is growing to love. Unless Derek does something completely crazy-issue a challenge that could shake the foundations of their world. Warning: This book contains forbidden lust, strip poker, instinct-driven sex in odd places, devious shapeshifters, and love and loss in a world of paranormal politics and supernatural schemes. - Reviewed By: |

 | Embrace the Eternal Night by Joss Ware Summary: Everything they knew is gone. From the raging fires, five men emerge with extraordinary new powers. They must learn how to survive this dark, ravaged world . . . but they cannot do it alone. Simon Japp will never forget his violent past. But when civilization is all but destroyed, he sees his chance for redemption. Blessed with a strange "gift," he's determined to help the resistance against the Strangers, the mysterious force that stalks them at every turn. He can't afford to get distracted, even by the stunning, soft-spoken woman fighting by his side . . . Sage Corrigan has learned to be careful where she places her trust. But she sees something good in Simon, even if he can't see it in himself. Posing as lovers to infiltrate a group key to their fight, they find that their staged affection soon develops into a desire that will leave them fighting for their lives in the night eternal . . . - Reviewed By: |

Hey Donna:
Thank you for the great post with all the updates.
LOL I was just at the bookstore (for ahemm therapy) and picked up the Jeaniene Frost book and the latest Joss Ware. I am so intrigued by both these books and WTH I figured 2 more added to the tsunami wasn't going to make a difference. lolol
(I'm going to have to join book junkies anonymous very soon.)
Take Care

Larissa - I will be hunting down a copy of FDOC this weekend. Hopefully Borders or Target will have it. You're welcome!!
