This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is 13 to Life: A Werewolf's Tale by Shannon Delany due out June 22, 2010.

Product Description
Something strange is stalking the small town of Junction…

When junior Jess Gillmansen gets called out of class by Guidance, she can only presume it’s for one of two reasons. Either they’ve finally figured out who wrote the scathing anti-jock editorial in the school newspaper or they’re hosting yet another intervention for her about her mom. Although far from expecting it, she’s relieved to discover Guidance just wants her to show a new student around—but he comes with issues of his own including a police escort.

The newest member of Junction High, Pietr Rusakova has secrets to hide--secrets that will bring big trouble to the small town of Junction—secrets including dramatic changes he’s undergoing that will surely end his life early.

Book Description
Bodyguard Celia Graves has definitely accepted her share of weird assignments, both human and supernatural. But her newest job takes the cake. Guarding a Prince from terrorists and religious fundamentalists is hard enough, but it seems like the entire supernatural world is after this guy too. When she is betrayed by those she is employed to help, and everything goes horribly wrong, Celia wakes to find herself transformed.

Neither human nor vampire, Celia has become an Abomination—something that should not exist—and now both human and supernatural alike want her dead. With the help of a few loyal friends—a sexy mage, a powerful werewolf, and a psychic cop—Celia does her best to stay alive. On the run from her enemies, Celia must try to discover who is behind her transformation…before it’s too late.

Blog Hop!

The Book Blogger Hop is a weekly party hosted by Crazy For Books. It is a great way to discover blogs that are new to you and to show off your own blog! I really appreciate Crazy For Books for hosting this event. Our site is a newer book review site, but with help and guidance from other book bloggers, we've quickly begun to be requested by authors and publishers to review their books and have dedicated followers with whom we get to chat endlessly with about books(which is our favorite part)!

One of the most gorgeous site's that we have discovered through the Blog Hop is Book of Secrets. Diana reviews mainly romance books (lots of paranormal and fantasy books there), has a beautiful site, and offers a monthly giveaway. Check her site out and show her some love!

Waiting on Wednesday (7): Darkwood

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is Darkwood by M.E. Breen due out May 25, 2010.

Darkness falls so quickly in Howland that the people there have no word for
evening. But for thirteen-yearold Annie, the dark is almost soothing compared to
the misery of her cruel aunt and uncle's house. When Annie finally escapes, she
finds herself on a journey that will take her deep into the forest—where
fearsome creatures lurk—and to the glittering halls of a palace. Hints of the
Brothers Grimm add magic to this spellbinding and beautifully told story.

The ninja cried out and grabbed the wound with both hands, and Elizabeth brought her blade down, taking off not only the hands, but the leg which they held firmly."

Waiting on Wednesday (6): Fat Vampire

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is: Fat Vampire: A Never Coming of Age Story by Adam Rex. 7/27/10

“Fat Vampire is a deft, simultaneous skewering of several sets of pop culture conventions: teen vampires, lovelorn nerds, high school group dynamics, and clashes of cultures, real and imagined. It is also the most authentic, original riff on geek culture that I can remember reading. That it manages to do all that and also be an engaging story with great characters and sterling dialogue that just kind of explodes off the page is something like a miracle.”
— Frank Portman, author of King Dork

Tempted (House of Night, Book 60 by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

"Not a problem. I'll get a penguin to show us," Aphrodite said. "Hey, you, nun!" she yelled at one of the nearby black-and-white-clad sisters who had scurried out of the abbey after the night had gone from battle chaos to aftermath chaos." - pg. 3


Book Description
So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted.
